Amending Title 11, Chapter 11, Section 6 — Clarification on Constructing Accessory
Buildings — Public Hearing: Chairman Keyes explained the public hearing process and asked
1
Clerk Roberts to present the proposed amendments, "Exhibit B.
Clerk Roberts explained the proposed amendments came about during a public hearing which
took place on January 11t", 2017 when the Council approved accessory buildings allowable in
Residential Townhouse (R-T) Zoning. During this hearing, it was discovered Title 11, Chapter
11, and Section 6 required clarifying the verbiage in regards to constructing accessory buildings.
Specifically to match the setback requirements established by International Fire Code, which
requires a setback of 3 feet from any side or rear property line opposed to 2 feet In closing, she
expressed the proposed amendment's purpose was simply for clarification and accuracy.
Chairman Keyes opened the public portion of the hearing; those in favor, none; neutral, none;
opposed none.
Nolan Getsinger located at 5434 Steele Ave. explained he was in attendance to receive some
clarification on a question he had on accessory buildings specifically related to his property. Mr.
Getsinger explained his property has a couple of hog sheds which sit exactly on the rear property
line and have been there since the 1950(s) and he would like to build a new roof and use them for
storage protection. He inquired if they would need to be torn down or relocated.
Member Lott asked if there was grandfather clause for accessory buildings which are already
constructed. Clerk Roberts indicated she was unsure, and would have to discuss it further with
the Council and get an answer for Mr. Getsinger.
Member Johnson expressed he feels since the buildings were constructed before the code existed
he doesn't see an issue with them remaining in their current location.
Chairman Keyes expressed the word provided did not grammatically make sense to her. From
her perspective, either provided or however needs to be removed for it to be clear. In regards to
the content of the amendments she did not have any comments.
Member Lott explained there are lots within city limits which are adjacent to the County. His lot
happens to be one of them, and when he was constructing his accessory building he discovered
the County actually requires more than 3 feet if you are going to build on a lot adjacent to them.
He feels there should be a provision outlined which requires homeowners who are adjacent to the
County to follow their requirements as well. Additionally, he expressed many of the newer
subdivisions have their own covenants and are more restrictive. He feels there should also be a
provision outlined which requires homeowners to follow their subdivision covenants if they are
more restrictive.
Member Lott outlined a small strip of land which falls within the County and sits directly behind
his residence. He further explained it has never been annexed into the City, and he pays taxes on
two properties. Chairman Keyes asked Clerk Roberts to follow up with the Council and inquire
why the land was never annexed into the City.
Chairman Keyes entertained a motion. Member Johnson moved to recommend the Council
approve the proposed changes to Title 11, Chapter 11, Section 6 of the Iona City Code,
considering however, the removal of the word provided and including provisions which require
homeowners to follow county ordinances if their property is adjacent to the County, or if their
property falls in a subdivision which has more restrictive covenants. Member Thompson
2
seconded the motion. All in favor, motion carried.
Reports: Chairman Keyes reported she would like to pick up discussing the Comprehensive Plan
during April's meeting.
Member Lott shared he is a soil scientist by trade, and he has noticed there is a section of the
Comprehensive Plan on soils which is empty. There is a program which exists that will show all
the soil types in the City of Iona, and he is going to attempt to build a report from that program.
