City of Centerville <br />Planning and Zoning Commission <br />July 1, 2008 <br />Chair Hanson inquired whether the highlighted items in the handout were the changes. <br />City Administrator Larson responded that yes, they were. <br />Sump Pumps <br />Councilmember Broussard-Vickers stated that, on Page 7, they need to specify where they <br />can discharge the water, so it does not flow down the street. <br />City Administrator Larson stated that there is a problem when residents are running sump <br />pumps in the winter. He stated that, when the storm sewer is frozen, the water will not go <br />anywhere, so then it has to be run into the yard. <br />Commissioner Parucci inquired whether they could let them pump it into the drain tile. <br />City Administrator Larson replied that they would not want that connection, unless there <br />was a vapor lock between the two. <br />Discussion ensued. <br />Councilmember Broussard-Vickers stated that, once they got verbiage from City Engineer <br />Statz, they can change this particular item. <br />City Administrator Larson stated that Section 150.30 shows a sump pump requirement, but <br />it does not specify where to discharge. <br />Fences <br />City Administrator Larson showed sketches on the screen of how the proposed rules on <br />fencing would be interpreted. <br />Discussion ensued regarding different lot configurations and what would be the best <br />requirement. <br />City Administrator Larson stated that they could compromise and require that the set up be <br />15 or some other number of feet back from the front of the house. <br />Commissioner Wood suggested staying with the original plan and allow variances for <br />unusual property shapes. <br />Councilmember Broussard-Vickers suggested having one side start from the front and the <br />other side start from the back. <br />Commissioner Pangell inquired about the existing Ordinance language. <br />Page 2 of 6 <br />
