Oversized Accessory Structures July 1, 1989 Page 2 of 3 B) If a subdivision occurs, the lot area required to accommodate that oversized structure must be retained. C) Likewit^e, the required oversized accessory structure setbacks must be retained. Staff anticipates a standard format covenant would be drafted, and its execution required prior to building permit issuance. 7. Accessory buildings of any size, including barns and stables, cannot exceed the height of the principal building or be higher than 30'. 8. Lot coverage of all lots less than 2 acres in total area is limited to 15% of the lot area. Since the intent of the lot coverage ordinance is to limit visual density, staff would recommend that any enclosed, roofed structure over 6* in height above grade should be considered as lot coverage. Council should consider whether tennis courts with opaque or non-opaque fencing, at a height of typically 12*, should be considered in lot coverage calculations. 9. At least one CounciImember was concerned with relatively large (but not oversized) accessory structures being only 10' from lot lines. The proposed ordinance would require a 15' setback for non-oversized accessory structures greater than 750 s.f. footprint area. Staff questions whether this section is strictly necessary or whether it will just lead to confusion. 10. Barns, stables and greenhouses are no longer exempt from the 1,000 s.f. floor area restriction. Barns, stables and greenhouses will be treated like any other ovarsized accessory building when they exceed 1,000 s.f. Additional Exhibits - Exhibits C are sketches of typical lots in the various zones, showing various degrees of development and allowing Counciimeiuborc to h^hter visualize the setback restrictions required by the proposed ordinance. Exhibit D is a table indicating standards contained in the proposed ordinance.
