WHEREAS, the City of Corcoran proposed amendments to the minimum eave and overhang
requirements for accessory structures; and

overhang requirements on accessory structures; and

hearing and recommends approval of reduced requirements for eaves and overhangs on
accessory structures; and

constructing accessory structures.

residential structures found in Section 1060.050 Subd.1 of Zoning Ordinance.
4. The proposed amendment continues to preserve the residential character of the City.

policies.
