Memo From: Adrianna Hennen, Clerk-Treasurer To: Freeport City Council Date: 11/20/17 Re: Ross Klaphake After the September council meeting Ross Klaphake came in for a building permit to move a shed

Below are the pictures that I received. After reviewing the pictures I told Klaphake that I would not be able to sign off on the building permit application until the building met city code.

Then, on October 31 st Loren informed me that he saw that Klaphake had moved the shed onto his property. I informed Dan Marthaler and Scott Dymoke.

18 Memo From: Adrianna Hennen, Clerk-Treasurer To: Freeport City Council Date: 11/20/17 Re: Ross Klaphake After the September council meeting Ross Klaphake came in for a building permit to move a shed onto his property. Before signing off on the permit I asked that he send me pictures so I knew what the structure looked like before I could allow it onto the property. Below are the pictures that I received. After reviewing the pictures I told Klaphake that I would not be able to sign off on the building permit application until the building met city code. I sent him the oridnances and explained the requirements. After that I did not hear back from Klaphake for some time. Then, on October 31 st Loren informed me that he saw that Klaphake had moved the shed onto his property. I informed Dan Marthaler and Scott Dymoke. Marthaler looked at the shed and said that what Klaphake had accomplished so far was good and he was pleased with what he saw, but Marthaler was displeased that Klaphake did this without a permit and was now violating city code. Dymoke recommended bringing this to the November council meeting to make council aware. At this point I have signed off on the application with the condition that Klaphake bring the shed up to city code requirements by May 15, Dan Mathaler would not approve a building permit until council had input on the matter. Below is a picture of the shed on the property. 65

20 Memo From: Adrianna Hennen, Clerk-Treasurer To: Freeport City Council Date: 11/20/17 Re: Accessory Structures I have recently gotten pushback on our Residential Accessory Structure Ordinance. Currently our ordinance allows a 120 sq/ft or smaller accessory structure to be built without a permanent foundation and just a zoning permit is required. The accessory structure also has to meet setback requirements. Anything above 120 sq/ft needs to have a permanent foundation and a building permit, and also needs to meet setback requirements. Some are questioning why a structure that is 120 sq/ft or less needs to meet setback requirements since it s not permanent and is moveable R-1, Single and Two-Family Residence District Subd.6 Lot, Yard, Area and Height Requirements Accessary Use Lot Minimum Setbacks Maximum Area Sq.
