City of <br /> Pequot <br /> Lakes_- <br /> PUBLIC HEARING—ACCESSORY STRUCTURES <br /> Application: Ordinance Amendment regarding Accessory <br /> Structures in the Rural Residential, Forest <br /> Management and Agriculture Districts <br /> Applicant: City of Pequot Lakes <br /> Agenda Item: 3 (a) <br /> Background Information: Accessory structures such as pole buildings, <br /> garages and storage sheds are not allowed in any zoning classification without a <br /> principal structure no matter how large the parcel is. Staff has received requests <br /> for such buildings on large tracts. Last month the Planning Commission <br /> unanimously directed Staff to prepare an ordinance amendment and hold a <br /> public hearing this month. <br /> Crow Wing County allows accessory structures to be built in any zone without a <br /> principal structure. For lots that are 5 acres or less in size a site suitability <br /> evaluation is required. The site suitability evaluation ensures the property owner <br /> does not place the structure on the only area for the installation of a septic <br /> system. <br /> Applicable Regulations: <br /> Section 17-3.2. DEFINITIONS <br /> 4. Accessory Structure. A building or other structure that is <br /> supportive, secondary and subordinate in use and/or size to the <br /> principle structure on the same parcel or lot which,because of the <br /> nature of its use, can reasonably be located at or greater than <br /> minimum structure setbacks. Includes all structures not <br /> considered the principle structure including,but not limited to, T.V. <br /> towers antennas, dish antennas, outdoor swimming pools, outdoor <br /> hot-tubs, detached garages, sheds, guest quarters and boathouses. <br /> 5.
