<br />Mr. Gladhill reported that we have a breakpoint at two acres to be less restrictive. The <br />natural two-acre threshold is currently our Code. <br /> <br />Councilmember Wise stated he feels the structures should architecturally match in the <br />front. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dehen stated that there are several lots in his ward that are two acres and <br />inquired where these structures would be located. He added that if we really want to <br />allow these cheap structures, the criteria should at least be a carport structure. <br /> <br />Councilmember Jeffrey wondered if the carport is put in the back yard, should there have <br />to be a driveway to it. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dehen wondered if trailers can be parked anywhere in the back yard or <br />side yard. <br /> <br />Mr. Gladhill stated that Council would have to verify what they can park on. <br /> <br />Mayor Ramsey asked what we should do with existing structures. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Miller stated that if Council is going to allow <br />structures, maybe allow them a year to come into compliance plus they would need to get <br />a permit for temporary structure as well. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dehen stated you either allow or disallow and reiterated that he does not <br />want them. <br /> <br />Mayor Ramsey felt that Council needed to give residents a year to comply. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dehen asked what the City would do if he put up a garage without a <br />permit. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig arrived (6:00 p.m.) <br /> <br />Councilmember McGlone asked about greenhouse structures. <br /> <br />Associate Planner Gladhill stated there is an allowance for active agriculture use. <br /> <br />Mayor Ramsey stated that we "kind of' came to the consensus that we will not allow <br />them but to allow people a year to comply. Technically, they are not legal now - so will <br />we let them keep them up for a year? <br /> <br />Councilmember Look suggested that the price of the permit could deter the usage of it. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dehen asked if these are allowed in commercial areas. <br /> <br />City Council Work Session - May 5, 2009 <br />Page 4 of 14 <br />
