(7.5) Application #Z98-15 requesting an amendment to Zoning Ordinance Section 42-58,
Accessory Uses, to establish size and height limitations for detached storage buildings, garages and
carports in residential districts.

Roy Dudark, Director of Planning and Community Development, gave the staff report
and the suggested amendment to the ordinance to increase the square footage of a detached garage
to 770 instead of 750 square feet.
Dennis Oborny, 905 Shalimar, asked if 770 square feet was too restrictive and gave
examples in support of increasing the square footage to 900 square feet which would reduce the
number of hearings for variances. He noted that the structures objected to at the Planning
Commission meeting were over 900 square feet.
Henry Hoeffner, 409 Estates, expressed his concern regarding the size requirement
stating that 750 square feet is minimal size. He supported Mr. Oborny's observations for the need
for additional space. He asked that people who want a reasonable size building not have to ask for
variances. He then spoke regarding the maximum height limit and design materials.
Mr. Dudark responded to commission inquiry stating that determination of the nature
of a building would be made by staff and that the Board of Zoning Appeals would hear appeals.
He also clarified that the height of detached garages is 20 feet.
Dennis Kissinger, City Manager, spoke in support of neighbors having a voice in the
decision making. He also noted that protective covenants cover buildings in new subdivisions and
that this ordinance allows protection in established neighborhoods.
