Memo Jan 13, 1995 TO: Steve SarkoZYt City Manager · FROM: Dennis Welscht Community Development Director (490-22~ RE: ACCESSORY STORAGE/GARAGE BUILDINGS - In August of 1994, the Council asked the staff to begin review and preparation of accessory buildings regulations. The city had received two requests for permits for oversized accessory permits (on Arona and on Burke Avenue). These issues have been difficult to deal with because the city has few regulations or policies that relate to the number of detached accessory building or the size and design of such structures. The codes do state that the maximum height of an accessory building is 15 feet. It was unclear whether a paved driveway was necessary to such structurest howevert the staff interrupts the codes to state that no more than 30% of the site may be covered with gl) 1::r i.!!!pervious surfa~.

However, an accessory building on a one acre or greater lot may have a height up to 15 feet, by setting back an additionall foot for each half-foot in additional height proposed. Some communities allow C?n1y one accessory building (regardless of size) on a lot. If the lot has a detached garage, no further accessory buildings are allowed. Size is frequently regulated, with 750 s.f. being the maximum allowed without some other type of permit, usually a conditional (special) use permit. Other cities, like Falcon Heights, simply state that the size of the structure cannot exceed 40% of the required rear yard, or that the collective total of all accessory buildings cann~t exceed 1,000 s.f Some communities make distinctions between the types of accessory buildings such Cj.S the attached provisions from the City of White Bear Lake in which Tool Sheds, Storage Sheds, Detached Garages, House Boats and Fish Houses. Some communities specify location on the lot and specific separation tTom the house (10 feet). I appreciate your thoughts and comments before the staff or the Planning Commission go further with this project. 1
