C. C.O. ~3 - CITY HALL ADMINISTRATIVE WING
CITY HALL Mr. Huff reported that the Management Committee has reviewed the orti ~
p on
ADDITION of the change which applied to floor tile in the Public Works and
C.O. ~3 Building Departments. However, there were several other items not
reviewed and he felt that the Management Committee should have the
opportunity to review these before recommending approval. Councilman
Sanders suggested going through the proposal item by item to see if it
would not be more feasible to approve the Change Order then refer it
to Committee.
1. New tile in the office areas. This was not originally scheduled,
however, it was discovered that the flooring, after removal of
various counters, revealed untiled areas and tiles in such a state
that it was determined new tile was necessary.
2. Replacing ceiling tile, which was discovered to be in poor dondition,
in the offices of the Director of Public Works, the Planning Director
and Chief Building Inspector at a total cost or $446.32.
3. Furnish and install new birch paneling in the Director of Public
Works office. The primary reason for this change being that when
the closet was changed it was a difficult task to match up the new
panelling. In addition, the panelling was quite different from
that in the other offices. Total cost: $603.09-
~. Furnish and install galvanized iron pan and drain at hot water
heater in attic area. The moving of the water heater was re-
quired because of the difference in size between the original
gas heater and the new electric heater. The electric heater
was moved to the office at no additional cost, except this cost
of provision of the panz and drain.
5. Revision of cabinets in. City Clerk's area. Originally it was
anticipated that metal file cabinets would be u~ed. However, ~

under-the-counter shelving, similar to that in the old office, was
deemed more appropriate to provide for storage of supplies.
Mr. Sanders questioned Items #B and ~9 in connection with moving
furniture. He felt the cost was excessive. Mr. Higby explained that
i~ was necessary to shift the furniture in all the departments from
one side of the room to another while the new tile was being laid.
The 15 hours quoted was actually three men working fifteen hours each
or a total of 45 man hours.
Moved by Mr. Sanders, seconded by Mr. Smith for approval of Change
Order #B. Carried and so ordered.
III. PETITIONS, ORDINANCES AND FORMAL RESOLUTIONS ,
A. ORDINANCE NS-3~22 - An Ordinance Amending Ordinance NS-3 by
by Amending Article 3 Pertaining to Accessory Structures in
Rear Yards of Single Family Residential Zoning Districts.
ORDINANCE Mr. Huff reported that this '.was approved by the Planning Commission
NS-3-22 at its last meeting and forwarded to theCCity Attorney for drafting
ACCESSORY in final form. Mr. Martin and Mr. Naugle, representing the Prides
STRUCTURES Crossing Home Owners Association were present and wished to address
the Council on this matter.
Mr. Dwyer stated that he found parts of the proposed ordinance some-
what confusing. With regard to Page 2, Subsection (2) which states
"Gardening and storage sheds, and structures separated from a cabaria
in which swimming pool equipment is housed, shall not exceed 6 ft. in
height nor 3 ft. in depth". He felt this was too shallow to be useful.
He felt this section of the ordinance did require clarification.
Mr. Robb~ns explained that the intent was to allow buildings~ next to a
fence providing they were not too wide. In response to a question from
Mr. Dwyer as to how we could enforce the setback requirements, the City
Attorney replied that an application for Building Permit must show the
location of the site. Mr. Walker stated that the intention was to
allow storage areas along the fence which were not more than three ft.
in depth. If a party wished to have a larger storage shed, they would
have to setback from the property line. The City Attorney stated that
this was limited only to the required rear yard, otherwise the standard
requirements would apply, for example, if you have an acre lot, you have
50 ft. of required rear yard.
Mr. Naugle stated that it was the intent on the part of the Prides
Crossing Home Owners Association that the lO ft. in height was the
maximum if it was within the required rear yard; if it was outside
then the limit would be 12 ft. If it is a cabana or other structure
the height was 8 ft. with 6 ft. setback with i ft. additional for each
three ft. of rear yard. Mr. Martin added that this is what was~stated
and the agreement that had been reached at the Planning Commission
meeting. M~. Naugle continged that in Paragraph (e) they were
specifying that only acceptable accessory structures were to be
located in rear yards.
Mr. Sanders understood that if a person were going to build a
structure, locatedZin the required rear yard, he must first obtain
a Use Permit; the structure shall be setback a minimum of 25 ft;
and shall not exceed 19 ft. in height, except certain structures, such
as cabanas which are permitted to be 8 ft. in height, 6 ft. from the k~e
property line plus one ft. for eadh additional three ft. back from the
property line.
Mr. Naugle stated that under the proposed ordinance, as approved by
the Planning Commission, cabanas, storage structures and equipment
structures were governed by Use Permit.
The City Attorney pointed out that if you are going to have structures
other than those stated it would not require a Use Permit as long as
they came within the standard limitation.
Mr.Wslker stated that it was, the Planning Commission's intent that a
Use Permit be required for everything, however, administrative processing
of Use Permits for small structures would be quite cumbersome. He felt
it would be better to separate larger structures from the smaller
structures for Use Permits.

SARATOGA CITY COUNCIL MINb~ES
NOVEMBER 5, 1969
Mr. Na~ugle's third point was that the wording suggesting storage structures
along the fence (as passed by th~ Planning Commission) was a desirable point.
ct it infers that accessory structures can only be built in the
rear yard. He felt that the will of the Planning Commission was not
followed especially ~ith regard to Section III, Part D which states that
all structures within the required rear yard require a Use Permit. He
felt that anything below 6 ft. should not require a Use Permit. Such
structures would not disturb the neighbors or clutter the area. He felt
that cabarias should require a Use Permit and this would alert the neighbors
to a proposed use. He wondered about the correct definition of "cabana"
which the dictionary defines as a cabin. The City Attorney replied that
the word cabana was described in another ordinance.
Mr. Robbins asked that both Mr. Martin and Mr .Naugle submit their comments
in writing and referred the matter to the Planning Committee, who will
schedule a meeting.
