Placement on Vacant Lots <br />Administrator Statz introduced this item, noting that resident Ben Fehrenbacher approached the city <br />regarding accessory structures and would like to provide some suggestions to the existing ordinance. <br />Mr. Fehrenbacher, who lives in Peltier Circle, bought the lot adjacent to him several years ago, <br />placing a play structure on that lot. The play structure is no longer there and now the lot is vacant. <br />The current code prohibits development of an accessory structure on a lot that does not have a <br />primary structure (like a home or business). Mr. Fehrenbacher pointed out that this can be <br />problematic for property owners who have purchased an adjacent lot to their homestead, by <br />preventing reasonable development that would otherwise be allowed it the lots were combined. Mr. <br />Fehrenbacher provided the following suggestions: <br /> <br /> The vacant lot must be adjacent to a residential homestead lot with an existing primary <br />structure on it and owned by the same family/person. <br />Page 2 of 3 <br /> <br />
