2488. 3 1 g <br />CIJUNCIL MEETING <br />TO: Mayor and City Council FEB - 8 1988 <br />FROM: Mark Bernhardson, City AdministratorjV CITY <br />01: ORONO <br />DATE: February 4, 1988 <br />SUBJECT: Accessory Structures Ordinance <br />Attachment: A. Accessory Structures/Mabusth Memo Dated 1/28/88 <br />B. Accessory Structures/Gaffron Memo Dated 1/28/88 <br />(sent out under separate cover) <br />ISSUE - Determination if Council wants to participate in a joint <br />Planning Commission/Council meeting on the subject of the <br />accessory structures ordinance. <br />INTRODUCTION - During the McMillan application staff had an <br />opportunity to review the accessory structure ordinance. The <br />review focused on the current restriction of 1000 sq ft maximum <br />on all accessory structures (except barns which has no <br />limitation) regardless of lot size. In that review were the <br />issues of: <br />- Structure height <br />- Lot coverage (hardcover in non-LR Zones) <br />- Number of structures <br />- Setbacks <br />- Means to avoid separation of larger accessory <br />structures from the primary structure by <br />subdivision <br />The proposed changes that had originally been presented in July <br />were fin311y reviewed in December. Based on the Planning <br />COmmis�:;+o•� Lesponse that the standards presented were not <br />restrictive Enough relating the amount of structure to size of <br />acreage, staff presented a memo on conceptual performance <br />standards fcr the January 1988 Planning Commission meeting. At <br />that meeting the Planning Commission indicated their desire to <br />discuss the thrust of the proposal in a joint meeting as noted in <br />Attachments A and B. <br />DISCUSSION - While in some ways more restrictive as to total <br />square footage, height and numbers, it does loosen the 1000 sq ft <br />maximum as it relates to lot size and is within the general <br />concepts of regulation to achieve a pleasing residential <br />community concerned with runoff and non-residential uses in <br />residential areas. <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />1. Schedule meeting <br />2. Suggest Planning Commission hold a special <br />meeting to consider <br />
