By a 4 to 1 oonsensu~, the definition for 'lot, minimum area of was amended to indicate that thC surface area of a lot shall be based on measurement from property line to prol3orty/ine, exclusive of any portion of the right-of-way of any public street or for all commercial, industrial and all residential lots. Councilmember zimmerman agreed with the basic definition but was opposed to eliminating the lar~guage that allows developers the ability to include road right-of-way when me~ting minimum lot size requirements in the rural district~ A definition for 'Personal Services' was added to City Code. Some of our zoning ~sSricts list 'Personal Services' as a permitted use. Code currently does not have a definition for 'Personal Services'. (Unanimous consensus). Laaguage was added to prohibit the showing for sale of more than one vehicle on propezty not zoned for motor vehicle sales. (Unanimous consensus). The ability to m~intain one unlicensed vehicle on a property was retained. By a 4 to 1 ~consensus, the number of unlicensed vehicles permitted for outside storage was changed from one to zero. Councilmember Zimmerman felt that the outside storage of one unlicensed vehicle is reasonable and that the proposed change to zero was inappropriate based on the comments submitted to the Planning and Zoning C0,m~i. 'ssion at the public hearing. Although there are several definitions for vehicle in City Code, there is not a def'mition in Chapter 9 that would specifically pm~ 'n to its usage in that chapter. The Subcommittee directed Staff to add a definition for vehicle in Chapter 9 using the same definition as what is in State Statutes. Upon recommendation of the Building Official, Subdivision 3 of 9.11.02 was am~ndecl so that the location of accessory buildings so as not to prohibit orderly resutbdivision of the property becomes thc responsibility of the property owner raflU~,r than the Building Official. (Unanimous consensus). It Was clarified that the maximum accessory building height regulations apply to detached accessory buildings. (Unaxfimous consensus). For accuracy purposes, references to lot sizes were converted from in terms of acres to in terms of square feet. (unanimous consensus). Thc lot size threshold for having metal accessory buildings (pole buildings) was reduced from 2.5 acres to approximately 2.29 acres, or 100,001 square feet as it is not ~ferred to. By a unanimous consensus, the lot size threshold for having metal aceea~ory buildings was reduced from 2.5 acres to approximately 2.29 acres for all lots _~'reated prior to luly 1, 1993. For all lots created after July 1, 1993, the lot size threshold for a metal accessory structure will be 5 acres. A performance standard was added to require that any metal building (pole bU~rding) constructed within 75 feet of a property line shall be designed with soffit, faci~.arid eave overhang. (unanimous consensus). A performmce standard was added to requixe that the initial garage constructed on a property served by City sewer and water must be attached to the dwelling.
