DISTRICT, DOUGLAS ANDERSON, APPLICANT.
Commissioner Norton read a statement outlining the process that will be followed
for the public hearing portion of the meeting.
Chair Hantge presented the application for consideration.
Dan Jochum, City Planner, addressed the Commission.
Mr. Jochum reviewed the proposed application and the requirements for the
conditional use permit dueto the square footage of the proposed structure and the
proposed type of construction.
Mr. Jochum stated staff did not have any concerns with a metal accessory
building in this more rural type setting, even though it is within a residential
zoning district of the City.
Mr. Jochum noted it is Staff’s understanding that the previously adopted zoning
ordinance prohibited pole buildings but the City does not have any regulations
regarding the exterior roof and wall finish material. The ordinance was

established to limit the use of unappealing agricultural appearing buildings within
residential zoning districts.
Mr. Jochum stated regulating type of construction is impractical when the finish
materials are not regulated.
Commissioner Norton noted over time the aesthetics of pole buildings has
drastically improved from when the ordinance was first implemented.
Chair Hantge asked to clarify the proposed drive access to this structure.
Mr. Jochum state the proposed access would be an internal gravel drive that
would intersect the existing concrete driveway.
Doug Anderson, 1485 SouthgradeRd. SW addressed the commission. Mr.
Anderson noted the lean-to roof was his original intention but understands there is
concern regarding the lean-to portion of the structure and would like an
explanation of that.
Mr. Jochum noted that the lean-to roofwas originally presumed to be within the
1,500 sq. ft. of the building. However, Mr. Anderson clarified that the enclosed
portion of the building is desired to be 1,500.
Mr. Jochum noted that the ordinance considers the entire footprint of the structure
and not simply the enclosed portion of the building.
Commissioner Fahey asked to clarify that the building Staff is recommending
approval of is the building without the lean-to.
Marc Sebora stated he concurs with Mr. Jochum’s interpretation of the zoning
ordinance.
Chair Hantge asked if it would be a possibility to apply for a variance from the
square footage limitation to be able to add the proposed lean-to.
Mr. Jochum asked, Interim Building Official Kyle Dimler to clarify based upon
the building code if the lean-to would be considered part of the building.
Mr. Dimler stated because the roof line is one roof line and there are footings
required to support the roof of the lean-to, it is a part of the whole building.
Chair Hantge asked Mr. Jochum to explain what would be required to grant a
variance to exceed the 1,500 sq. ft. maximum.
Commissioner Norton stated a future possibility would be to amend the ordinance
to regulate maximum building size based upon lot size and asked for clarification
on thetime line of that process.

A.DISCUSSION REGARDING APPROPRIATE LOCATION FOR MICRO
DISTILLERIES AND COCKTAIL LOUNGES.
City Attorney, Marc Sebora addressed the Commission.
Mr. Sebora shared the City Council desired the Planning Commission to review
appropriate zoning districts for micro-distilleries and cocktail lounges as the
Council recently approved the licensing of such facilities.
Mr. Sebora stated that unlike breweries there is no distinction between large and
small. A micro-distillery is one that produces less than 40,000 of spirits.
Commissoner Kirchoff noted often these micro-distilleries favor being accessible
by food vendors.
Dan Jochum, City Planner, noted perhapsthe 40,000 gallons could be the
distinguishing point between being located in a Commercial zoning district and
being located in an Industrial zoning district.
Mr. Sebora noted an applicant is only permitted to have a cocktail room if the
applicant is a micro-distillery.
Mr. Jochum noted it would be logical to mirror the zoning district thresholds of
the micro-brewery ordinance.

B.DISCUSSION REGARDING ACCESSORY STRUCTURE SIZE LIMITS IN
RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICTS.
Mr. Jochum noted that regardless of the limit imposed, there is likely to always be an
applicant that desires to exceed the limit.
Commissioner Norton stated he believes it would be appropriate to have a ratio
developed for building size based upon lot size.
Mr. Jochum asked the Commission if they had a recommendation of a maximum
accessory structure size regardless of lot size.
Mr. Jochum shared that it becomes difficult for staff to enforce a subjectively worded
ordinance.
Chair Hantge asked Mr. Jochum to research and draft some proposed language for a
maximum size and a possible ratio based upon lot.
7.COMMUNICATION FROM STAFF
A.Upcoming Meetings
Mr. Jochum noted there will be a Planning Commission meeting in December as
there is currently an application for a C.U.P. for a pole-type building.
Mr. Jochum also noted there is a vacation of a right-of-way and a possible site
plan review to be heard at the December Planning Commission meeting.

Regulations:Section 154.123
Building:The proposed building is2,000sq. ft.
Analysis:
The purpose of the building is to store vehicles and equipment. The building is proposed to be
located on the northern portion of 1385 Highway 7 West. It will be located approximately 57
feet from the residential zoning area to the north. There are already some large evergreen trees
that will provide screening from the adjacent residential properties. Staff proposes adding three
more evergreen type trees at least 6 feet tall to fill in the gaps between the existing evergreen
trees to the north to provide more screening for the building. (See aerial photo attached).
Conditional Use Permit:
The Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is required for pole type building construction.
The following are standards for granting a conditional use permit:
(a)The proposed building or use at the particular location requested is necessary or
desirable to provide a service or a facility which is in the interest of the public
convenience and will contribute to the general welfare of the neighborhood or
community;
(b)The proposed building or use will not have a substantial or undue adverse effect upon
adjacent property, the character of the neighborhood, traffic conditions, utility
facilities and other matters affecting the public health, safety and general welfare; and
(c)The proposed building or use will be designed, arranged and operated so as to permit
the development and use of neighboring property in accordance with the applicable
district regulations.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permitwith the following recommendations:
1.The standards for granting a conditional use permit would be met, subject to the
conditions stated.

3.The use must meet all applicable building and fire code regulations.
4.The conditional use permit shall remain in effect as long as the conditions required by
the permit are observed. Any expansion or intensification of a conditional use
requires approval of a new conditional use permit.
5.If the proposed usefails to start operation within one year of the conditional use
permit being granted, the conditional use permit shall be deemed null and void and a
new conditional use permit must be applied for.
6.The Applicant must obtain all necessary permits for any construction that would be
needed.

Date:December 10, 2015, for December 15,2015, Planning Commission Meeting
RE:Discussion regarding possible ordinance amendments for Pole Buildings in
Residential Areas.
Discussion
Staff has been working on possible ordinance amendments regarding pole buildings located in
residential areas, as well as the size of accessory structures in residential areas.
Staff believes a simple matrix that corresponds lot size to the allowable building size is going to
be the easiest way to manage this issue. Staff feels that the Planning Commission should agree
to a set of criteria that can be enforced without requiring a conditional use permit. The CUP
process seems to just complicate something relatively straightforward. Staff is recommending
that in order to have a pole building the lot size should be at least 1 acre in size. This should
eliminate some of the need for a CUP by ensuring pole buildings are not build in “traditional”
residential neighborhoods where a pole building wouldn’t fit in.
The following is in draftand intended for discussion purposes only.
§ 154.026 ACCESSORY BUILDINGS.
(A)No accessory buildings shall be erected or located within any required side yard
setback, except as provided in §§ 154.056 and 154.057 of this code, for R-1 and R-2 districts.
(B)Utility buildings in residential districts shallnot exceed12 feet by 16 feetbe
smaller than 200 square feetand shall be six feet or more from all lot lines of adjoining lots, and
shall not be located within a utility easement.
(C)No accessory building or garage per single-family homes shall occupy more than
25% of a rear yard., nor exceed 1,000 square feet of floor area.All new homes shall either
have an attached or detached garage of at least 400 square feet. Garages less than 400 square feet
but larger than 240 square feet are allowed by conditional use permit. Garages less than 240
square feet are not allowed.Garages between 1,000 square feet and 1,500square feet may be
allowed with a conditional use permit if they do not occupy more than 25% of the rear yard.
Garages larger than 1,500 square feet are not allowed in residential zoning districts.The size of
detached (accessory) garages are regulatedper the below table:
Lot SizeMaximum Detached (Accessory) Garage Size
.15 to .29 Acres1,000 square feet
.30 to .49 Acres1,250 square feet
.50 to 1.0 Acres1,500 square feet
1.0 to 2.0 Acres1,750 square feet
2.0 Acres or more2,000 square feet

Pole type construction is not allowed fordetached garages or accessory buildings in residential
zoned areas unless the lot is at least 1 acre in size.
(J)Unattached garages require direct access by public way or in casesof interior lots,
a side yard drive setback dimension no less than ten feet between the property line and the
principal structure. Direct access to the public right-of-way is not permitted through the rear or
side yard of double frontage lots located on any collectors or arterial roadways, except for
properties platted prior to 1988.
