Board flags unclear code on detached accessory structures; staff to draft redlined ordinance
Summary
Assistant Village Manager Sowl told the Elm Grove Building Board it was unclear whether the village ordinance allows more than one detached accessory structure (for example, a pergola plus a shed). Board members asked staff to prepare a redlined ordinance with proposed changes for a future meeting; staff agreed.
During 'Other Business' on April 8, Assistant Village Manager Sowl explained that a pending agenda item (a Hardy shed request) had been removed because staff could not clearly interpret the Village ordinance governing detached accessory structures.
Sowl told the board it was "unclear whether ordinance permits more than one detached accessory structure on a property (e.g. a pergola and shed)." Board members briefly discussed the issue and suggested staff prepare a redlined ordinance showing proposed language changes. Sowl agreed to present the redline at a future meeting.
No formal motion or vote was recorded on ordinance language during the meeting. The discussion was limited to asking staff to prepare clearer code language for the board’s review.
