STAFF MEMBERS PRESENT: Building Official, Russell Wyman and Secretary, Kirsten Fresh. ACTION ITEM ITEM NO. 1: Consider approval of the Minutes from September 19, 1994 Regular Business Meeting. A motion was made by Rich Eckman and seconded by Mike Hawkins to approve the Minutes as submitted. Motion carried, all in favor(7 votes). PUBLIC HEARING ITEM NO.2: Discuss and consider a recommendation to the City Council for an amendment to the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance to amend a Planned Development known as part of Wyndham Estates Phase II, as adopted in Ordinance 86-84A. Chairman Peddicord opened the Public Hearing. Andy Hartwig, of 1405 E. Brown, said that he would like to see these lots enlarged to allow for larger homes to be built. He felt that something should be done to stimulate building in that area again. Russell Wyman, the Building Official, explained that this amendment was not to change anything. This amendment is to put regulations in place on a "PD" Ordinance that was originally submitted without them. It is a clean up measure. The Board debated at length the zero lot requirements. Mr. Wyman, explained the issue was not how it was set up because that had already been done in the plat and the building regulations, it just needed to be added to the Ordinance so that building in this "PD" could be regulated. A motion was made by Mike Hawkins and seconded by Rich Eckman to recommend to the City Council that Ordinance 86- 84A be amended. Motion passed (6 votes for, one abstaining vote). ITEM NO.3: Discuss and consider a recommendation to the City Council for an amendment to the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance that would remove the current requirements for minimum lot widths and lot depths in the SF-1, SF-2, and SF-3 zoning districts. Existing setback regulations and all other requirements pertaining to lot area, lot coverage, and dwelling size shall remain the same. Mr. Wyman explained that the reason this was needed was to prevent a street alignment problem when new developers started putting in new subdivisions that would adjoin other w" subdivisions with different zoning classifications. The Board did not want to completely drop the lot width and depth, they wanted to be able to regulate it somehow. They chose to make all SF zoning districts with a uniform lot width and depth to allow for street alignment and to, also, allow developers to be creative in how they set up their homes on the lots ie. ranch type houses. A motion was made by John Crowe and seconded by Mike Hawkins to recommend to the City Council to amend the Zoning Ordinance to make the average lot depth not less than 100 ft p. 2 and the average lot width not less than 60 ft in all SF-1, SF-2, and SF-3 zoning districts. Motion passed, all in favor (7 votes). ADJOURN: A motion was made by John Crowe and seconded by Mike Hawkins to adjourn. Motion carried, all in favor(7 votes). Chairman Peddicord adjourned the meeting. Respectfully Submitted: -e/72, Bart Peddicord, Chairman Kirsten Fresh,Secretary
