Exemption to Accessory Structure Standards for Traditional Farmsteads
City Planner Pearson presented the zoning code amendment to allow certain exterior building
materials standards for traditional farmsteads (barns; pole barns not included). Council directed
the Planning Commission and City Staff to draft more specific language regarding siding and
roofing materials as well as to inventory properties this text amendment may impact. Staff
recorded five barn locations. After interviewing siding and roofing industry representatives, the
amendment includes language to include standards for thickness, color, texture, orientation
(vertical or horizontal), and lap width. Exceptions are directed to the RR(Rural Residential) and
AG (Agriculture) districts, which are less than twenty acres or for non - agricultural use west of
Akron Avenue. Residents are encouraged to replicate the original structure. Council Member
Riley applauded the Planning Commission and City Staff for the good solution to this dilemma.

ZONING ORDINANCE, REGARDING TRADITIONAL FARMSTEADS with the
modification of deleting pole barns. Second by Strayton. Ayes: Riley, Strayton, Shoe - Corrigan,
