IV. OLD BUSINESS 1. Ordinance #4 Amendments Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated that the document that states which page the changes are on was incorrect and then indicated she had gone through the document and written down the correct pages and would indicate the page number as the discussion proceeded. Council Liaison Broussard Vickers recommended going through each change individually to make sure the changes are correct. Council Liaison Broussard Vickers asked why the City would want to lengthen the time a structure is allowed to be nonconforming. Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated that, in her experience with other cites, the time period has been 12 months to allow fur inclement weather during the winter months. Ms. Moore-Sykes led the Planning Commission in a review of aU of the changes to Ordinance #4. Tracy Tratar asked if there was a reason the City wanted to be so restrictive on the number of structures. Council Liaison Broussard Vickers indicated that it was a consensus that was arrived at after numerous public hearings. Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated that one reason is to limit the amount of water runoffand with the soil conditions in Centerville runoff is not easily absorbed. . Council Liaison Broussard Vickers indicated she would like to ask l\ilr. Palzer why he wants to remove the rear yard setback. Commissioner DeVine arrived at 7:40 p.m. Mr. Tratar indicated he measured from the curb to the building for the figures provided to the Commission. Mr. Tratar indicated his lot is 100 x 150. He then indicated he was told he does not own the IS-foot City right of way. Council Liaison Broussard Vickers indicated if the City measures from the curb it does not matter where his lot line is because the City would use the curb. Commissioner DeVine indicated that the Ordinance indicates that the measurement is from the lot line and, if the lot line is at the IS-toot right of way, then that is where the measurement should start.
