clarification . One c,f the issues is tha t of • Accessory Structures•, which includes garages , car-
pons , and sheds. There is no restriction on the "number" of garages permitted per
"ownership", and no restriction on the "number" of sheds per "ownership", and the maximum
size of sheds is, more often than not , appealed to the Board of Adjustment and Appeals , Also ,
there are individuals who want to construct "accessory" stru ctures that are not included in the
list of uses in the ordinance --a gazebo or a free-standing deck, for instance . These requests
also have 10 be taken before the Board 'of Adjustment and Appeals.
Siaff prepared proposed amcndmcnu to all of the Residential Z.One Districu which refine and
clarify the intent of the section on • Accessor:,' Structures". 1hese proposed amem!mer:~ were •
discussed with the Planning Commissior. on several occasions , and further refinement was
mad e as a result of those discussions .
The proposed amendmenu regarding Accessory Buildings will claii iJ' and ease inteJpretation
of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance . Enforcement capabilities should also be cased for
those officers in the ficltl wh <l are charged with enforcement of the Comprehensive Zoning
Ordinan ce. Also, the number of requests filed for varianct.i should be diminished with the
refinement and clarificati on as a result of these amen dmenu .
If the proposed amendments ar,' not approved , the Comprchcnsi ,e Zoning Ordinance provi-
sions pertaining to accessory structures will remain unchanged.
The Planning Comm ission considered the remanded amendment at their regular meeting of
October 4, l 994 . After considerable discussion, it was the determination of the Comm ission
that the defin ition of •Garage " should not be modified, and that the proposed amendmeou re-
gard in g Accessory Struc tures should be scheduled for Public Hearing as written .

The members of the City Planning and Zoni~g Commission appreciate the opponunity to re-
consider the proposed • Accessory Struc=s• amendment to the Comprehensive Zoning Ordi-
nance relative to the definition ,-,f "garage".
This issue was discussed at the regular meeting of the Planning Commission on October 4,
1~'94 . The Commission members acknowledge Iha!. there are a few properties in the City that
iack motor vehicle access to the nar yard . The definition of "garage• was also consideffi!, and
the majority opinion of the Commission is to not change this definition. It is the funbcr ma-
jority opinion of the Commission that the proper venue for relief from the strict application of
the provisions of the O!dinance is through the Board of Adjustment and Appeals.
The motion and vote of the Commission at the meeting of October 4, 1994, is as follows :
Becker moved :
Mason seconded : The Planning Commission thank members of the City Council for refer-
ring the issues raised at the Public Forum to the Commission for consid-
~.ration . It is the opinion of the members of the Planning Commission
that no change to the definition of "garage.• is needed, and the appropri-
ate place for resolution of no access to rear yards and denial of permits
to construct a "garage" is before the Board of Adjustment and Appc:als .
