After further discussion Mr. Troian made a motion to recommend to
the City Council to include zero lot lines in the zoning ordinance
for residential subdivisions as permitted in the R-4, R-5, R-5A,
B-2, B-3, B-4, B-5, B-6, I-I, 1-2 and PID zones, as discussed.
Mr. Bennington seconded the motion.
Upon roll call the motion CARRIED 7-0.
NEW BUSINESS
The City Attorney reported the Board should discuss multi-family
projects, including condominiums, townhouses and apartments to
determine if these should be included under the subdivision
requirements.
The Board discussed the smaller projects having to comply with
the present subdivision requirements and considering the impact
and the asthetics of proposed projects. After further discussion
a workshop of July 29th at 7:00 P.M. in the Community Center was
set to discuss this matter.
The City Attorney reported on a proposed ordinance concerning the
Board of Adjustments and bringing them in line with the Comprehensive
Plan. He stated this is coming before this board since the Board of
Adjustments is part of the zoning ordinance and therefore would
need the approval of the Zoning and Planning Board. Mr. Henderson
noted the basic areas of the Board of Adjustments was to grant
variances from the zoning ordinance, approve special exceptions and
to hear appeals regarding interpretations. He stated a new item
has been added that when the Board reviews special exceptions, prior
to the public hearing the Zoning and Planning Board will review the
request and make recommendation to the Board of Adjustments. This
will require a member of the Zoning and Planning Board be present
at the meeting to present the recommendation.
The City Attorney reported that the overall occupational licenses
in conjunction with the permitted uses in the various areas was
being researched to be included with the upcoming changes to the
zoning ordinance. This will be reviewed at the workshop.
Mr. Wallace stated at the present time the City does not have a
pest control ordinance. Mr. Bennington reviewed the litter ordinance
and stated there are several rats in the area, however enforcement
has been a problem. It was agreed to review this at the workshop
on July 29th.
Mr. McKillop questioned a vacancy of the Board and a question of
reducing the membership which was discussed at the last City Council
meeting.
Mr. Wallace said reducing the 'membership was a suggestion since
seven members on the Board would be adequate.
ADJOURN
There was no further business and Mr. Kroman made a motion to adjourn
the meeting. There was no objection from the Board members and the
meeting was adjourned.
