The accessory storage shed is setback approximately 42 feet from the font property line along Edgewater Avenue and approximately 55 feet from the secondary front property line along Ridgewood Road. 6. Section 1325.01, Subd. 3 of the Zoning Code states that accessory structures shall not be located nearer the front lot line than the front yard setback line for the principal structure to which it is accessory. 7. Section 1325.01, Subd. 7 of the Zoning Code allows the City Council to approve a deviation from the accessory structure location requirement when exceptional and unusual circumstances exist on the property through the Site Plan Review process. 8. The existing conditions on the property meet the minimum lot coverage requirements for properties located in the R-1 Zoning District. 9. The accessory storage shed does not exceed the height limit of 15 feet for accessory structures. 10. Detached accessory structures up to 728 square feet are permitted structures in the R-1 Zoning District. 11. Properties used primarily for residential uses are permitted up to two accessory structures. There is one additional shed located on the property for a total of two accessory structures. 12. The accessory storage shed is located outside of the 100-year flood plain, wetlands, and easements. 13. The lot provides adequate space and reasonable slopes and features to allow the accessory storage shed to be located in the rear yard of the property to comply with the Zoning Code location requirements. 14. The existing conditions of the property are not exceptional or unique and do not justify a deviation in the Zoning Code location requirements for accessory structures. Recommendation The Planning Commission discussed the request and determined that there was adequate space and reasonable slopes to place the shed in the rear yard of the property and to comply with the Zoning Code location and setback requirements for accessory structures. The Planning Commission voted to recommend denial (5-0) of Planning Case 17-028 for a Site Plan Review at 1504 Edgewater Avenue, based on the findings of fact in the January 22, 2018, Report to the City Council.
