Page 1 of 5 City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Connnission November 3, 2003 Meeting Minutes Ms. Moore-Sykes asked for clarification on Page five concerning side yard or rear yard. Council Liaison Broussard Vickers indicated the intent is that it is both. Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated that in Subdivision 90 under definitions there needed to be a definition of corner lot. Council Liaison Broussard Vickers indicated that the last time Ordinance #4 was revised there was a drive to streamline or simplify it and the City Attorney has indicated in the past that unless a term is specifically referred to he would prefer there is no definition of it. Chair Hanson indicated he would like to define R-l intensive commercial agricultural uses. Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated she had spoken to Hugo on the slaughterhouse issues and they recommend following the ordinance because the ordinance, as written, does not allow slaughterhouses. Commissioner Kilian asked whether the City could change the ordinance to keep the slaughterhouse use out without getting into trouble. Council Liaison Broussard Vickers indicated that this is a comprehensive rewording and defining of the ordinance, not just one change. She then noted that the ordinance already covers intensive commercial agricultural uses which a slaughterhouse would fall under. Commissioner Klennert Hunt asked why the date of enactment had not changed. Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated that the date of enactment was the last date the ordinance was amended. Commissioner Klennert Hunt questioned the wording in Section 400.6 as it seems to suggest that no permit is necessary if you comply with the ordinance. Council Liaison Broussard Vickers suggested changing the wording to unless specifically excluded in Ordinance #4. Commissioner Klennert Hunt indicated that the word beans should be beams in Subdivision 10. Commissioner Klennert Hunt indicated that the definition of apartment building includes duplexes and asked whether that was the intent. Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated she would further review that section and noted that the City does require licenses for apartments and would need to change the fee schedule to match the wording of the ordinance. Page 2 of 5 City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Connnission November 3, 2003 Meeting Minutes Commissioner Klennert Hunt asked whether the definitions of automobile service station and motor fuel station were the same and if one could be deleted. The Commission asked Staff to combine the definitions of 17 with 106 and use motor vehicle rather than automobile. Council Liaison Broussard Vickers indicated there is no board of appeals and adjustments and she would like the ordinance to refer to Council. Commissioner Kilian asked whether the clinic definition should include chiropractors. Ms. Moore-Sykes suggested adding health care provider. Commissioner Klennert Hunt asked Staff to confirm that the definition of freestanding sign is the same as it is in the sign ordinance. Commissioner Klennert Hunt indicated that 75 should be dwelling. Commissioner Klennert Hunt questioned whether a transfer station would be allowed under 82. The Commission indicated that the City did not need to worry about that as a transfer station is not an allowed use. Commissioner Klennert Hunt asked for a definition of a flag lot. Commissioner Lakso indicated that 79 was not quite finished. Council Liaison Broussard Vickers asked Staff to check the parking requirement in 115 to make sure the size matches the City's commercial requirements. The Commission asked for a definition of principal structure in commercial and residential. Commissioner Kilian indicated the definition concerning street access did not make sense. Council Liaison Broussard Vickers suggested changing the wording to which affords the principal means of accessing the property. Council Liaison Broussard Vickers indicated that PUD was not in the ordinance. Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated she would be adding it. The Commission indicated that Section 410.04 side or rear yard depths should match the other side and rear yard definitions. Council Liaison Broussard Vickers suggested that there be one swimming pool section. Page 3 of 5 City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Connnission November 3, 2003 Meeting Minutes Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated that Staff has a hard time when all of the wording is not in the section as it makes the code very difficult to use. The Commission discussed swimming pools and determined that they should be defined as an accessory structure and governed that way under the Code. Council Liaison Broussard Vickers suggested defining principal building structure. Ms. Moore-Sykes suggested removing the R-l definitions making any of those properties existing non-conforming uses. Council Liaison Broussard Vickers indicated that she has one of the only rural residential parcels and that would mean she could not rebuild in the event of fire or other disaster. Ms. Moore-Sykes asked if the Commission approved of the swimming pool language. The Commission agreed that the rules for swimming pools would be the same as for accessory structures but asked Staff to come up with a fact sheet to hand out to residents concerning noise generated from pool pumps and the fact that the pool may have to be moved if it disturbs the neighbors. Council Liaison Broussard Vickers indicated she did not mind the suggested new format if it assists Staff. She then recommended an index. Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated that she would continue to work on Ordinance #4 and provided it to the Commission for further consideration. VI. DISCUSSION ITEMS None. VII. CONSIDERA TION OF MINUTES 1.
