PUBLIC HEARING:
3.1. Source Construction Capital:
City Planner Licht presented the Planners report. The applicant is requesting an
amendment to the PUD -CUP approved for Martin Farms allowing modifications of
the setbacks.
The Applicant was not present.
City Clerk Loff attested that proper noticing, posting and publishing was
completed.
Chair Black opened the Public Hearing at 7:04 PM.
Commissioner Thompson asked about the locating air conditioners on the side of
the house. City Planner Licht said that 7 feet allows some area for an air
conditioner between house and drainage and utility easement overlying the side
lot line. If the air conditioner can't be located without encroachment into the
drainage and utility easement, then it must be moved to the rear yard. This is
checked with the building permit.
Commissioner Fallon asked why we tried hard to get 10 feet previously and now
we are ok with going with 7 feet. City Planner Licht said this is just for corner lots
platted before the City increased the minimum lot width; there is no effect on
interior lots they are still subject to the 10 feet.
Hearing no public comment Chair Black closed the Public Hearing at 7:07 PM.
A. Zoning Ordinance amendment re: setbacks within the R-5
and R-6 Districts.
Commissioner Stritesky motioned to approve a Zoning Ordinance
amendment modifying the setback requirements of the R-4 and R-6
Districts to include the language as presented in Exhibit B. Seconded
by Commissioner Thompson. All in favor. Motion carried.
