The purpose of the accessory building is to augment the manufacturing operations in the principal building by providing additional space for inventory, supplies and vehicles on the property. The site plan consists of one unsigned sheet dated received by the City on October 27, 1997. We offer the following comments: Zoning: The site is zoned Industrial and the proposed accessory building and its use are permitted in this district. Lot Coverage: The subject site is approximately 62,500 square feet (1.4 acres) in size. Lot coverage (buildings) is restricted to 35% or 21,875 square feet. The principal building is 6,000 square feet and the proposed accessory building is 2,160 square feet, for a total of 8,160 square feet. This is in conformance with lot coverage restrictions. Size Limits on Accessory Buildings: City Code restricts accessory buildings in the Industrial District to 30% of the floor area of the principal building! unless otherwise approved by City Council. In this case, 30% of the floor area of the principal building is 1,800 square feet and the accessory building is proposed at 2,160 square feet. City Staff will recommend approval of the overage in size because of the substantial amount of unused lot coverage allotment remaining on the property. ,,' Setbacks: The proposed structure complies with the 40 foot front yard, 20 foot side yard, and 35 foot rear yard setback requirements. Utilities: Municipal water and sanitary sewer are not available to the site; it will continue to be served by on site sewer and well. 17
