July 24, 2008 Memo to Planning & Zoning Commission: From: Dallas Larson, Administrator Attached is a draft of Chapter 154. Major changes in Chapter 150 are outlined as follows: 1) Section 154.015 was modified to adopt the Table one. Also clarifies minimum residential building sizes. This was previously buried in Table One. 2) 154.018 confirms minimum dwelling size at 24 feet for M-2 district. Commission may wish to consider a continuous perimeter footing and foundation. This will make sure that manufactured homes conform to the same foundation standards as other homes. 3) Section 154.023 relates to site plan review and submittals. 4) Section 154.039 changes related to manufactured homes. Include requirement for continuous perimeter footing and foundation. May wish to include this for all districts. 5) 154.110 Incorporates all of the discussions on fences. Diagrams will be included for illustrative purposes. 6) 154130 Attorney needs to check for conflicts. 7) 154.140 Shoreland rules are made to conform with RCWD setbacks. 8) 154.171 Tree Planting. We would like to implement a policy that trees should be planted at least 15 feet from the curb. Generally boulevards are about 14 feet. With all of the utilities buried in this area, trees can be a significant conflict. We would also like to mandate that low growing trees be used anywhere that overhead power lines are present. 9) 154.310 Variance language may need to be modified in light of recent court rulings. We are hoping to have an answer to that question shortly. 10) 154.340 Interim Use Permits. This section was added to permit permits to be issued for temporary or time specific periods. We may need to add more to the district requirements later to identify the uses in each district that might be considered for Interim Use Permits.
