. The shoreland ordinance is needed to complete the SWMP. The shoreland ordinance is designed to identify the particular distance a building construction can occur from the waterways. Currently, the DNR is requesting the city require a 300' setback for the waterways. Whereas, Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) is requesting the city implement a minimal10oo' setback from the waterways. Mr. March proposed to design the shoreland ordinance as less restrictive as possible and then make application for approval to the governmental agencies. The Commission requested a joint meeting with the City Council to discuss this issue. Housing Maintenance Standards. Uniform Housing Code Mr. March updated the Commission on the City's need to implement a housing maintenance standard code. The Uniform Housing Code restricts residence that are in poor condition and provides the City the ability to enforce higher housing maintenance standards. The code will allow the city to address deterioration of principle structures and substandard buildings. Mr. March also proposed for the Commissions consideration, a supplemental ordinance which enforces higher building standards but is less restrictive. Mr. Bill LaLonde (1687 Westview Street) commented the Uniform building code sets a standard which gives the city an opportunity to keep homes maintained at a higher standard. Therefore, assisting in an overall benefit to the City. Mr. March commented the current ordinance leaves room for interpretation, certain areas are too strict and then others areas are not included. Ms. Broussard-Vickers requested additional time to review the uniform housing code and additional supplements.
