City of Hastings Planning Commission Minutes -December 11, 2006 Page 2 of 6 Commissioner Truax referenced a photo of a carport. He asked if the carport would be in compliance if it had a roof and solid walls. Planning Director Hinzman stated it would be in compliance of the carport ordinance. Commissioner Schmitt stated that he thought the definition was sufficient. He expressed concern over the regulation of seasonal satellite buildings to cover rv's and Easy-Up's. Commissioner Schmitt wanted to know how long the Easy-Up's could be up, if used for graduation or other events. Chair Twedt inquired if the enforcement was being driven by neighbors reporting violators, thus driving the enforcement. Planning Director Hinzman stated that this was the most likely case. Chair Twedt stated he was unsure if the Easy-Up's should be restricted. Planning Director Hinzman stated that language could be added to the ordinance to allow Easy- Up's for a temporary time period. Commissioner Schmitt stated it would be better to define the parameters, versus exclude them. Commissioner Peine stated that he was glad to see something in regards to anchoring for wind loads. He inquired how this would be verified. Planning Director Hinzman stated that the Building Department was still contemplating specific requirements. Commissioner McInnis asked if colors should be restricted. Associate Planner Barker stated that this was covered in Letter G. Commissioner McInnis stated that existing portable carports should be taken case by case to bring them up to code.
