HomeMy WebLinkAbout#6 - Accessory Structure Review Memo To:Planning Commission Members From: Kari Barker, Associate Planner Date: January 11, 2010 SubjectAccessory Structure Review : REQUEST The Planning Commission is to review and discuss the Accessory Structure Ordinance. HISTORY The Planning Commission reviewed and discussed the Accessory Structure Ordinance at its November 9 and November 23, 2009, meetings. The review of the Ordinance was at the request of Commissioners, due to an OHDS review for a garage at the September 28, 2009, Planning Commission meeting. The two main points of the discussion at the November 23, 2009, meeting was: 1) Tree replacement and 2) Notification of neighboring properties when a garage is proposed to be built. Tree Replacement Staff has amended the Shed and Deck Permit Application to reflect the desire of the Planning Commission to better enforce the Tree Preservation Policy. A line has been added to the application that reads, “Identify all trees to be affected by the new structure and see attached Three Replacement Schedule.”Please see attached amended application. Notification The Planning Commission stated its desire to notify neighboring properties to which a garage permit has been applied. However, these types of building permits are typically handled administratively and are usually heard before the Planning Commission, unless a variance is needed due to a side yard size or OHDS review is required. Staff discussed the notification process with the City Attorney. The City Attorney expressed concern that there was not an established procedure in place with the notification process. This means that neighbors would be notified of the intended building structure, but would have no recourse to object to its size, location, etc. The recommendation of the City Attorney would be to have a procedure in place, such as requiring a special use permit for garages over a certain size limit. th 101 4 Street East, Hastings, MN 55033 p. 651-480-2342 f. 651-437-1654 www.ci.hastings.mn.us Address or Property Involved: ____________________________________________________________ Owner Name: Contractor: ______________________________________ Address: Address: _________________________________________ City/State: Zip: City/State: Zip: _____________ Phone: Fax: Phone: Fax: _____________ SHED SITE PLAN: (Site plan must show proposed location of new shed/fence/deck and setbacks from property lines.
