Christine Mattson From: Christine Mattson Sent: Wednesday, April 03, 2013 11:25 AM To: 'Smith, Ralph' Cc: Melanie Curtis Subject: 3070 North Shore Drive/ Permit#2012-01215 Attachments: 96-Interim Ordinance Temporarily Prohibiting Accessory Structure.pdf; Escrow Agreement- Zoning Permitw Erosion Control 2012-01215.pdf Ralph, As noted on our zoning permit application, accessory structures require a $2,500 escrow, but since this structure has already been constructed on site and only needs to be moved, we have lowered the escrow amount to $700. Attached is a copy of the escrow agreement which requires your signature. The City will hold the escrow until the shed has been moved to the approved conforming location and all disturbed areas have been established with vegetation. We will continue to review the application and prepare it for issuance: however we will be unable to issue the permit until the agreement is signed and returned with a check for $700. Additionally, the City adopted a moratorium on new accessory structures & uses within the City in November 2012 (a copy of the moratorium ordinance is attached). What this means is that the City is studying the unlisted accessory structures and uses in Residential districts. Currently the code only specifically lists "garages" as allowed accessory structures in Residential districts. Sheds and other unlisted accessory structures are included in this study. And, unfortunately, as a result of the moratorium ordinance no new accessory sheds can be permitted at this time. We will need to wait until the study is completed and the City Council lifts the moratorium before we can issue the permits. We anticipate the moratorium will be lifted by the end of June. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
