7) 154.130 (A) (3) & 154.140 (B) (1) Setback from ordinary high water mark of lakes and streams. We do not match RCWD 100 foot requirements. 8) 154.006 Definition of Front Yard. Current definition is basically the front 35 feet of a residential lot. Thus, if the home were set back further than the required setback, an accessory building could be in the front of the principal structure. This isn't a factor in much of the city as most lots are the minimum setback anyway. But on a number of lake lots the home is setback much further than the minimum. In this situation you could construct a detached building in what appears to be the front yard of a home. An alternative to prevent this would be to define front yard as the area between the front of the principal structure and the front property line. 9) 154.130 (A) (2) Language is confusing. New language for consideration: (2) Lots which abut on more than one street shall provide the required front yards along each street for the principal structure. A front yard setback of 25 feet shall apply for an accessory structure to the frontage that is not considered to be the required front yard~ The definition of Yard Front should be amended as well: YARD, FRONT. A yard extending across the full width of the front lot between side lot lines and extending from the abutting street right-of-way line to a depth required in the yard regulations of the district in which the lot is located. On a corner lot the street address or narrowest street dimension of the street shall be the required FRONT YARD. The other street frontage will be considered a FRONT YARD for principal structure setbacks and a 5tfle-~yaffi-fuFi*tTposc~~ of calettlat-i~B-a€k-for acccs-sBF)" s-t-r-tt€Rtff5 . 10) 154.150 (M) (1) Do you really want to include the M-I district? 11) 154.150 (M) (2) I would remove the hearing language regarding site plan review. Other places refer to site plan review, this is the only reference to a hearing. 12) 154.171 Tree planting. Trees should best be planted in the front yard a minimum of 15 feet from the curb line and shall not be planted in a manner that interferes with any current or planned utility line. Trees may not be planted under a power line except those approved by the City for such. 13) 154. 170 (I) (Ordinance # 19, Second Series) Add requirement for striping of parking stalls on all parking lots for more than five stalls. 14) 154.024 Include language in (B). "Every lot shall receive a minimum of 4 inches of topsoil and all unpaved areas shall be sodded from the curb to the rear line of the principal building. The balance of the lot shall be properly seeded to prevent erosion. " 15) 154.310 City Attorney will be modifying this section to more closely match state law. 16) General enforcement. You wanted to discuss the degree to which ordinances are enforced.
