OLD BUSINESS: Possibility of Amending Ordinance 44. Section 34.06 AMOUNT OF YARD OCCUPIED, The Planning and Zoning Commission discussed the possibility of amending Ordinance #4, Section 34.06 AMOUNT OF YARD OCCUPIED. Chairperson Tourville noted that Gunnar Pettersen, Building Inspector, has expressed concern regarding the proposed amendment to increase from twelve (12) feet in height requirement to sixteen (16) feet in height. Mr. Pettersen expressed that this may allow some larger buildings on larger lots. Mr. Pettersen noted that the height is the average of the sidewall plus one half of the sidewall to the peak of the roof. Mr_ Pettersen noted that this is based on the Uniform Building Code. Chairperson Tourville expressed that is seemed to contradictory to allow the R -4 zoning district to occupy fifteen percent of the rear yard and to allow the larger lot districts to occupy only ten percent of their rear yards. Chairperson Tourville suggested making it fifteen percent across the board. Commission member Welk expressed agreement with Chairperson Tourville. Commission member Drilling expressed that the reason for separating the R -4 district was to make the present non- conforming buildings conforming. Commission member Drilling expressed that he preferred to leave the proposed amendment as is.
