TO: C~ t~ Administrator FROM: Building Official RE: Accessorg Buildings DATE: September 18, 1978 As the above referenced subject has been a matter of concerJ for sometime, I have been giving it much consideration'. It would appear to me that the onl~ appropriate solution to this matter is to base the size of an accessarg building on the size of the lot. In mW opinion it would appear that one lmgrcent of the lot area would be 'a a viable solution to the problem. .For ex. ample,: this would allow an accessorg building .of about .400lpl.us~squa. re_.:feet a one: acre-lot .and 1000-plus -square~ feet .on-~a .2%-'.-acre:lotzrL However., the surrounding lot' sizes .~hould' also_.be: conside'red-in, the 9ranting of: the permi t.': . If , a lot-larger: than-one :acre 'is :~.toc~tedLin -'-.what, is ~basicallg': a one :acre- area;.-:the' building :size. should' be~ accordingl ~. :: \ In m~ opinion this could be handled quite easil9 administrativlg bg the zoning officer. Individuals that felt the~ were treated unfairlg could appeal the z6ning ,adminlstrators decision to the · ' In_;concl uSion .it ~ould-?be' my,.'opinlon ~Ccessorg:bUildingS£_should be;.:restricted :accordingl~-.... .

(2) Parcels from one acre t° 2.5 acres: 1~ of the gross lot size not to exceed 1000 sq ft. (3) Parcels over 2.5 acres: 1% of the gross lot area not to exceed 1500 sq ft.' This restriction could appl9 to all except agricultural land where building restrictions would not applg. Agricultural land defined is an~ parcel 20 acres Or larger used primarilg for, agri-' · cultural purposes. ·Except for housing, building pe~-,~ts-are not regu~red on agricultural buildings. ~ : . . . -~ · Th~s information is for 9our 'informatiOn anW onl9 one indiv- iduals opinion.
