ing. The style is not controlled and the only requirement is that the roof support a
30 pound snow load.
He added that in order for the caboose to be classified as an accessory building the City
Council must find all of the gollowing facts to be true:
1. The Railroad car is a structure having a roof supported by columns or walls
2. y " is incidental to the single-family dwelling and to the use of them]
site for residential purposes
3. The railroad car is subordinate to the single-family dwelling
4. The railroad car is a stable, shed, garage, carport, boathouse or servant's quarters
5. The placement of the railroad car will not impair the use, enjoyment, or value of
adjoining property.

on Mr. Peterson's property.
Mrs. Wood inquired if this type of structure would increase or decrease property values.
Richard Schaeffer stated that land appraisers would make that determination.
Thomas Crosby asked if a legal precedence would be set allowing buildings intended for an-
other use to be used as assessory structures.
Mark Peterson asked what would happen if he wanted to build a building similar in design to
a caboose.
Thomas Crosby stated that the city seldom dictates architectual structure but if zoning code
could be amended to include special situations then special zoning problems could be solved.
Tom Anderson asked if a caboose could be considered a piece of art as it is a unique structure.
And if necessary it could be screened as high as the caboose.
Planner, Chuck Riesenberg stated that in other areas the only time that design standards are
considered are when buildings are in close quarters.
Motion by Crosby, seconded by Theis to table the matter until January 16th at 8:30 P.M. pend-
