They are as follows: - Parcels one acre and under: 1% of the gross lot, not to exceed 400 square feet. - Parcels one acre to 2.5 acres: 1% of the gross lot size, not to exceed 1,000 square feet. - Parcels over 2.5 acres: 1% of the gross lot area, not to exceed 1,500 square feet. - Front design of accessory building to match front of house (color, brick, etc.) - Require keeping commercial equipment and supplies inside building. Ms. Ramona O'Donnell asked just what this all means. Mr. Ed Klemish stated it simply means that a resident won't be able to bring a company truck home and park it in his yard, that a resident won't have anything more than a house and garage, that he can't have any rights. Also he can't have a small business in his home. Mr. Roger Dickenson, Jr., asked if this does have any bearing on the new business item of Merle Anderson and the Blight Ordinance. He was told it did not. Mr. Ed Klemish requested that the present ordinance be read on the accessory buildings. City Administrator Schnelle read paragraph 170.014B Accessory Uses sub- paragraph 1 and 2 of the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. The citizens were reminded the change in this ordinance is to protect those who do not want a large accessory building constructed on a neighbors property.
