City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Meeting Minutes July 11, 2006 There were no public comments. Commissioner Pangell inquired about porches and having them uncovered. City Administrator Larson noted porches were usually in the front of the home and had some type of covering over them, while decks did not have a covering. Vice Chair Klennert Hunt asked if they wanted to add the terminology: Construction of an uncovered deck and open porch. Commissioner Love stated with the 100-foot limitation, they were not talking about a lot of expansion. Vice Chair Klennert Hunt asked if this amendment would apply universally to the entire City, or just certain areas. City Administrator Larson responded this would apply to the entire City. Vice Chair Klennert Hunt asked if a resident already had a deck which was larger than this requirement, would they be able to put it back to its prior condition. City Administrator Larson responded there was language dealing with this type of a situation in the Chapter, but he believed they would be allowed to rebuild the deck to its prior condition and this would only apply to new decks being added. Motion by Commissioner Pangell, seconded by Commissioner Love to close the public hearing. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. Vice Chair Klennert Hunt closed the public hearing at 7:02 p.m. Commissioner Love stated he agreed with the wording as presented. Commissioner Wright stated he believed they were heading in the right direction with this. Council Member Terway stated this would allow people to do a little bit of what they wanted to do, but not so much that they were not willing to redevelop when the time came. Vice Chair Klennert Hunt stated she believed this sent a good message to the downtown residents. Motion by Commissioner Pangell, seconded by Commissioner Love, to recommend Council approval of the adoption of Amending Chapter 154.016: Non-Conforming Page 4 of 6
