A. Accessory Structures—Ordinance Amendments: City Planner Richards
reported that the City Council authorized staff to move forward with
changes to the Accessory Structures Ordinance, and there were two items
to address: what allowances for height and size would be appropriate and
if temporary structures should be allowed in the City. He stated the
Planning Commission discussed the Ordinance in August and held a
Public Hearing in September and made some recommendations. Richards
stated that the recommendations from the Planning Commission were that
accessory structures should have a maximum height allowance of 20 feet
but cannot exceed the existing principal structure; the max size should be
1,200 square feet; and temporary accessory structures such as fabric
carports and shelters should be allowed with a special event permit.
Richards reported staff prepared an Ordinance Amendment with a minor
change to number 5 changing the wording to "accessory structure" instead
of"private garage or storage structure" in the first sentence.
Councilmember Swenson, seconded by Councilmember Runk, moved to
approve the Ordinance Amendment on accessory structures as presented
with the change to number 5. Roll call vote taken. Carried 4-0,
VII. New Business:
A. Sanitary Sewer I & I Repair: Public Works Director Kegley reported that
upon reviewing some sanitary sewer televising records, they discovered
some infiltration from a cracked pipe segment near Sunnyside Marina. He
said the correct action was to repair it. He said he sought quotes and
submitted an application to Metropolitan Council for a grant. Kegley
stated that A-1 Excavating provided the lower quote, and he recommended
accepting that with funds coming from the sanitary sewer renewal and
replacement fund.
Councilmember Runk, seconded by Councilmember, moved to authorize
the letting of the contract to A-1 Excavating to do the work as entailed.
Carried 4-0.
