RESOLUTION #P.C. 042-2020
APPROVAL OF A METAL ACCESSORY STRUCTURE
FOR THE CHRISTENSEN PROPERTY LOCATED IN THE NW ¼ OF SECTION 13
(TAX KEY NO. 2209.940 / W133 S8179 NORTHVIEW DRIVE)
WHEREAS, A survey and building drawings were submitted to construct a 30’ x 40’ metal accessory structure (totaling 1,200
square feet) on the Christensen property located at W133 S8179 Northview Drive (Tax Key No. 2209.940), and
WHEREAS, The property is zoned RSE Suburban Estate District, and said structure is a permitted accessory use and subject
to Plan Commission review due to the proposed architectural materials shown, more specifically due to a proposed steel roof
and siding, and
WHEREAS, A home residence currently exists on site and there are no other accessory structures currently on the property
that the City is aware of, and
WHEREAS, The proposed square footage of 1,200 square feet is within the total allowable square footage for accessory
structures on this property, which meets the bulk requirements of the Zoning Code, and
WHEREAS, The accessory structure will be used for personal storage only, and
WHEREAS, The proposed height is approximately 15 feet, as measured by code, which is within the allowed height of 17 feet,
and
WHEREAS, The structure is proposed to be clad with steel wall panels and a steel roof and said proposal does not meet the
Plan Commission’s standards for administrative approval of residential accessory structures as the siding and roofing do not
match the materials of the primary residence, and
WHEREAS, The colors of the walls will be a clay mist, the roof, soffits, trim and wainscot will all be a brown color and the
architectural features including wainscoting and multiple windows.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, The Plan Commission approves of a 1,200 square foot metal accessory structure for the
Christensen property located at W133 S8179 Northview Drive (Tax Key No. 2209.940).
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the building and lot cannot be used for the operations of any business activities or for
business storage.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, The floor of the entire building must be concrete or asphalt, unless a specific portion is only to
be used by animals.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, The depth of the overhangs on all sides of the building must at least be equal to those on the
main home.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Plan Commission approves of the accessory structure due to no undue harm to the
surrounding properties, due to the distance from the roadway and due to the area being rural in character.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That failure to comply with the terms of this resolution and the approved site plans shall result
in the issuance of fines of $100 per day per violation, the initiation of legal action, or both.
