Planning and Zoning <br />August 6, 2002 <br />Meeting Minutes <br />Commissioner DeVine said he would like to look at other ordinances to see how other <br />cities handle this type of situation. <br /> <br />Commissioner Wilharber indicated that Mr. Sweeney had sent in an Ordinance #4 <br />question concerning setbacks for enclosed front porches. Ms. Bender commented that if <br />it is not completely enclosed it is allowed. <br /> <br />Ms. Bender indicated there had also been a complaint concerning an accessory structure <br />that is quite tall with a barn style roof. She then commented that Staff had reviewed the <br />ordinance and accessory structures can be as tall as 35 feet per ordinance. <br /> <br />Chair Hanson indicated he had thought the Commission limited the height of accessory <br />structures to no more than 14 feet. <br /> <br />Ms. Bender found the section in Ordinance #4 and read it for the Commission. <br /> <br />The Commission agreed that the maximum height of accessory structures needed to be <br />addressed. <br /> <br />Commissioner Helmbrecht asked for an update of what will be published for Ordinance <br />#4. <br /> <br />The Commission asked for a copy of the new ordinance. <br /> <br />Commissioner Kilian asked for copies of the ordinances that have been finished in the <br />last two or three years. <br /> <br />Chair Hanson also asked for a list of the ordinances that are more than three years old. <br /> <br />Commissioner Helmbrecht asked for the adult ordinance to be on the agenda for the next <br />meeting. <br /> <br />Chair Hanson asked why there was no public hearing on the tattooing and body piercing <br />as requested. Ms. Bender indicated that Council had requested that changes be made and <br />the public hearing will be in August. <br /> <br />Commissioner DeVine said he did not think the ordinances were given to Council as the <br />request was to schedule the public hearing. <br /> <br />Ms. Bender explained that the process has been modified so that the City Council can <br />provide review and input before the public hearing in an effort to save the City money. <br />She further commented that there have been several instances when a public hearing is <br />held and a recommendation made and then Council makes changes. <br /> <br />Page 8 of 10 <br />
