Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, February 02, 2011 Page 8 1004 – Residential Districts (Attachment C – Page 1 of 2) 357 Mr. Lloyd noted the revisions related to design guidelines on garages, with no changes to 358 requirements, but providing further clarification; and reviewed subtle distinctions in those 359 revisions and references, which will be further detailed in sidebar comments for 360 illustrative purposes once the Sections are formatted. 361 Discussion included identifying primary building face terminology and intent; how 362 objective staff determines could be related to predominant design, whether interpreted by 363 size, visual aesthetic or both; and consistency of requests fielded by staff for front façade 364 home improvements. 365 Member Boerigter reminded staff of his ongoing lack of support for sidebar illustrations 366 that could be interpreted as proscriptive rather than simply serving as examples. 367 Table of Uses – Table 1004-6 – Attachment C (Page 2 of 2) 368 Mr. Lloyd noted corrections to setback requirements, and addition of a footnote for further 369 clarification and providing more flexibility in HDR-2 Districts upon review and approval by 370 the Planning Commission and City Council. 371 Table 1005-1 – Attachment D (2 pages) 372 Mr. Lloyd noted the only change on page 2 under “Nursing Home, Assisted Living 373 Facility” uses that had inadvertently been omitted between various drafts. 374 Discussion included future amendments coming forward for further refinement of 375 daycares and similar facilities depending on their size as to where permitted uses; and 376 separate and distinct consideration of dormitories that have greater impacts due to 377 vehicle traffic versus a Nursing Home or similar use when many of those residents would 378 not be driving. 379 1008 – Park and Recreation District (Attachment E) 380 Mr. Lloyd reviewed formatting changes and reorganization of this Section similar to the 381 formatting and structure of other chapters; as well as renaming “Allowed Uses.” 382 1009 – Procedures (Attachment F) 383 Mr. Paschke noted that, when originally drafting this section, a separate listing had been 384 used for “Nursing Homes” from “Assisted Living Facilities” and should have been 385 combined. 386 1017 – Shoreland, Wetland and Storm Water Management (Attachment G) (9 pages) 387 Mr. Lloyd noted changes were predicated on implementation of the new Zoning Code 388 and removing references to PUD’s; as well as changing the enforcement language to be 389 consistent; with other revisions basically created through inadvertent errors and 390 emissions and renumbering sections after striking out those areas specific to PUD’s. 391 Commissioners noted the need to correct the identification in the Shoreland Classification 392 Table for McCarron’s Lake and Lake Owasso. 393 1019 - Parking and Loading Areas (Attachment H) 394 Mr. Lloyd noted the minor revision was simply for consistency with other sections. 395 Chair Boerigter opened the Public Hearing for PROJECT FILE 0017 at 8:21 p.m. 396 Public Comment 397 Dick Klick, 2099 Fairway South 398 Mr. Klick spoke to garage setback requirements, using his neighborhood as an example 399 and questioning the rationale for such a requirement. 400 Chair Boerigter reviewed the majority’s rationale in encouraging pedestrian-friendly 401 building fronts for future residential neighborhoods, reiterating his lack of support for the 402 requirement and in agreement with Mr. Klick. 403 Discussion ensued regarding various scenarios for remodeling or changing existing 404 structures and how to comply with this new requirement; thresholds that would trigger 405
