City of Centerville <br /> Planning and Zoning Commission <br /> Also, concern was raised over creating more nonconforming uses in the City. Staff <br /> was directed to come up with code language to implement the medium and high <br /> density zoning areas identified in the plan. <br /> C. Nonconforming uses. The Commission discussed the input that was received from <br /> the public this evening. City Attorney Glaser will investigate possible options and will <br /> report back in writing before the April meeting. The Commission discussed the <br /> possibility of a joint work session with the City Council for April or May, 2010. <br /> D. Residential Accessory Structures and Setbacks. Resident Kurt Frison had <br /> requested that P&Z consider reducing the side-yard setback for garages and accessory ' <br /> buildings. Staff confirmed that several neighboring communities have a five-foot ', <br /> setback as compared to Centerville's 10 foot requirement. Those with a five-foot � <br /> setback include White Bear Lake, Vadnais Heights, Lino Lakes and Blaine. The ! <br /> Commission discussed some adverse impacts of a reduced setback. Among those are: a I <br /> narrower setback would make it impossible for the property owner to get a vehicle to I <br /> the rear yard along that side; if two garages on neighboring parcels faced one another, <br /> the buildings would be ten feet apart, even less if ineasured at the roof overhang; <br /> drainage swales along that side of the property would be more difficult with the <br /> reduced distance. Staff was directed to prepare draft code language tha.t would <br /> implement the reduced setback but taking into account the adverse impacts mentioned. <br /> V. CONSIDERATION OF NIINUTES <br /> 1.
