Planning and Zoning Commission
July 9, 2019
Administrator Statz stated that Staff and City Planner Mr. Phil Carlson have met and discussed the
current code related to driveways and parking on residential lots. Based on those discussions,
several scenarios of what might interest residents and the Commission regarding modifications to
the Code were drafted.
Discussion also included outside storage of items such as (snowmobiles, fish houses, travel
trailers, etc.), width of driveways and corner lots having two (2) driveways.
The Commission reviewed the submitted figures and considerable discussed ensued.
Figures 1 and 2 depicted various locations on lots where parking would be allowed. Staff
Recommendations for locations where parking would be allowed were depicted in blue with other
locations being pink.
Figure 1 depicted areas where licensed vehicles could be parked. Staff recommendations were
generally acceptable to the commission with some further discussion recommended for on-street
parking (location #12) and provisions for making location #6 zoning specific.
Figure 2 depicted areas where recreational vehicles could be parked. General concensus was in
line with staff recommendations, with the following exceptions: no parking in the rear yard
setback or drainage/utility easement, limiting the size of a front yard turn-around with only vehicle
parking allowed, and parking in the rear and side yard will receive additional discussion (7 and 9).
Figure 3 depicted various locations for potential driveways. Staff’s recommendations were
acceptable which allowed corner lots to have more than one driveway (when driveway is to garage
or structure in rear yard), did not like driveway 2 or 3, did not want driveway in drainage/utility
easement (#6) and felt that 5 should be a parking pad up to the side of the garage remaining
outside of the drainage/utility easement.
Considerable discussion took place regarding the width of driveways. Consensus was that staff
should explore language to widen the maximum width and the right-of-way from 24 to 32 feet.
This would accommodate most request in town. Some members felt that there should be language
related to the width of the garage. Perhaps language could state that the width could be the
smaller of the width of the garage or 32 feet.
Additional discussion was had regarding researching neighboring communities’ requirements.
Staff will bring back additional information, and a plan to introduce this topic to the public at a
future meeting.
2. Consider Rescheduling of August 6, 2019 Meeting Due to Night to Unite
