By~a unanimous consensus, a requirement was added pertaining to building permits for/accessory buildings that would require the property owners signature that no commercial use will be conducted in the accessory structure. (Ms. Frolik reported that after further review, City Staff is recommending that because the property oWner is not always the person that applies for the building permit, that there be a di~laimer printed on building permits that stipulates that with the issuance and ae~ptance of the building permit, the property owner agrees that no commercial agtlvity will be conducted in the accessory slxucture. By: a unanimous consensus, the lot size threshold for having metal accessory buildings was reduced from 2.5 acres to approximately 2.29 acres for all lots cre~ted prior to July 1, 1993. For all lots created after July 1, 1993, the lot size threshold for a metal accessory structure will be five acres.
