Zoning Code Amendment June 29, 1987 Page 2 of 5 Proposed Revision - As a starting point, staff would recommend the following code • •revisions: 1. Redefine "peak building height" for accessory structures - so that height is measured to the peak, not to the mean height. The downside of this is that we would have different standards for principal structures vs. accessory structures. 2. Revise Section 10.03, Subdivision 9 (B) to make barns and stables subject to the height conditions of the conditional use permit. 3. Revise Section 10.03, Subdivision 9 (C) by removing the exceptions (barn, stable, green house) and noting that accessory buildings over 1,000 s.f. are allowed subject to conditional use permit. 4. Revise Section 10.20, Subdivision 4 (B) to define tennis courts and swimming pools over 1,000 s.f. as subject to conditional use permit requirements if they are enclosed (i.e. have a roof). (Fences around a pool or tennis court would not alone instigate the need for a conditional use permit.) 5. Add Section 10.20, Subdivision 3 (Q). Accessory buiIdings in excess of 1,000 s.f. (use of the word buildings will exclude non- roofed structures such as tennis courts and pools) with standards for allowable floor area based on acreage and required setback a function of floor area and peak height. Proposed Language - The Municipal Code of the City of Orono, Minnesota is amended by adding Ordinance No. _ _, Second Series: SECTION I.
