ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JUNE 27, 2016 21 3) Accessory Storage Building – Construct a new 20-foot by 20-foot (400 sq. ft.) accessory storage building adjacent to the west side of the baseball field near batting cages on the west side of the field. Accessory structures are permitted to be up to fifteen (15) feet in height in the R-1 Zoning District. The new accessory structure would be 10-feet in height and comparable in design and the materials used on other structures within the athletic field complex. The exterior finish of the structure would largely consist of rock faced block to match the block that was used to construct the dugouts. The structure would have one (1) service door entrance installed along with two (2) 10-foot wide by 8-foot tall overhead doors.
