Council trims yard-shed size in Ordinance 41 zoning amendment
Summary
After a public hearing on Ordinance 41, the council directed staff to change yard-shed language from 300 sq ft to 160 sq ft and adopted the amendment. The change followed a question from the city inspector about internal inconsistencies in the draft.
At 7:03 p.m. Mayor Lisa Marvin opened the public hearing on proposed changes to Ordinance 41. City inspector Ken Lahr identified conflicting measurements in the draft—sections that referenced a 300-square-foot limit for yard sheds in some places while other sections capped yard sheds at 160 square feet. Lahr asked whether the draft should reflect 160 sq ft; the council agreed to amend the text accordingly.
Council Member Steve Trobec moved to adopt the amended ordinance changing the yard-shed maximum to 160 square feet; Council Member Danita Traut seconded and the motion carried. The council approved the text change after the inspector's clarification and no public comment was recorded.
