Planner Monson then reviewed his staff report, referencing three figures that depict current
circumstances and potential changes. Figure 1, shown on page 4 of the staff report, depicts the
current lot line and setback requirements (not drawn to scale). Figure 2 or Option 1A for corner lots,
shows the front lot line and setback based on address or access. Figure 3 or option 1B for corner
lots, shows the lot line based on access or address, along with a side street setback.
Discussion ensued about the three options outlined in the staff memo. The Commission favors
option 1A as outlined in the staff memo.
Motion by Commissioner Carciofini, seconded by Commissioner Thompson to Approve
option 1A as outlined in the staff memo. Roll call taken and all in favor. Motion carried.
Discussion also ensued about the direction the Commission would like to take regarding
requirements for accessory structures. There was a variance not too long ago that allowed up to 200
square feet or 2% of the lot area, whichever is greater – this requirement does not apply to rural or
agricultural zones, but it does for residential zones. The Commission will continue to review this
requirement since the City Council requested that they provide guidance.
Motion by Commissioner Nelson, seconded by Commissioner Carciofini to table the discussion
on accessory structures. Roll call taken and all in favor. Motion carried.
