V. OLD BUSINESS 1.Ordinance #4 Amendments The Commission reviewed the Mayors proposed corrections and comments on Ordinance #4 page by page and the following are the recommendations for change. In the Table of Contents, there is no Section 36, please remove it. Mr. Palzer suggested moving Division 90 into Division 165 to make the Ordinance simpler to interpret. Commissioner Wilharber recommended that Staff review Division 165, Division 90 and Division 80 and consolidate them. Commissioner DeVine pointed out that Division 50 dealt with driveway and parking lot improvements and should also be part of the consolidation. The Commission requested that Staff review the ordinance concerning parking and consolidate Divisions 50, 80, 90, and 165. The Commission determined that the word ordains is commonly used throughout the City’s ordinances and by other cities as well but decided to define it in the terms section for clarity. Ordained is defined as follows: to order by virtue of established authority. The Commission determined that the board of appeals and adjustment is either the City Council or a group appointed by the City Council but determined that no change was needed to the language in the Ordinance. On Page three eliminate the definition of Building Height because it is listed on Page 7 as Height of Building. On Page 3 change Building Principals to Principal Structure. On Page 4 eliminate Intensive Vegetation Clearing and then make sure the wording is not used in the rest of the Ordinance. If it is, replace it with clear cutting. The Commission determined it was appropriate to leave the definition of Commission and the definition of Planning and Zoning Commission in the Ordinance to be sure both usages were defined. On Page 5 delete District Zoning and make sure the words are not used in the rest of the Ordinance. If they are, use zoning district to replace. Page 3 of 10
