ACCEPTION TO STRUCTURAL SIZE AND NUMBER LIMITS (SDC Ch. 2. Sec. 3.2. (3) b.)
* For residential accessory structures, the total allowed number of accessory structures in the table
above is in addition to one garage up to 864 squauire feet, whether attached or detached. For lots on
which one garage already exists, whether attached or detached, the placement of a second garage
shall count toward the accessory structure limit in If the property has no attached garage, one
detached garage up to 24’x 36’ in size is permitted in addition to the number of accessory structures
listed in Section (C) above. This exception is intended to permit a garage only, and the square footage
of the garage may not be added to the number or square footage of accessory structures that are
permitted on the property by the table above. The total area of structures including the garage shall
meet the lot coverage requirements. The property owner must demonstrate that there is adequate
space available on the parcel for a primary and secondary septic system that meet Washington
County SSTS ordinance requirements outside the area proposed for the garage.
Commented [KC1]: It is recommended that this
clarification change is made to make the ordinance text
consistent with the original legislative intent.
It is recommended that the Planning Commission address
accessory buildings as adjacent lots as part of the code
update process due the complexity of applicability based on
neighborhood and zoning district.
Changes to * are denoted in red. Removed original text has
a strikeout through it.
