MR. LOWE QUESTIONS WHEN IT WAS CHANGED AND WHERE DOES IT STATE THE
CHANGES?
MR. COOPER INFORMS MR. LOWE IT IS AT THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE. THE
CITY ATTORNEY HAS OPINED THAT SINCE A TRAILER IS A VEHICLE, IT IS
PERMISSIBLE TO PARK THAT WITHIN THE GARAGE AND IT MEETS THE
REQUIREMENTS OF SCREENING. THERE IS NOWHERE IN THE CODE THAT STATES
THAT, BUT IT IS THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OPINION. THE AMENDED CODE HAS
NOT BEEN GIVEN TO THE CITY IN A DISTRIBUTABLE FORM YET.
MRS. LOWE (HANDICAPPED) REFERS TO THE PICTURES AGAIN, POINTING OUT
HOW THE CONGESTION OF EQUIPMENT/TRAILERS/TRAFFIC AT MR. LAVENDER'S

iNESS:
THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE REGARDING TEPE OF CONSTRUCTION
ESSORY STRUCTURES
HER SHOWS A BRIEF VIDEO OF THE WAREHOUSE-LIKE STRUCTURE
AT 1421 THORNHILL. THE MEMBERS WERE GIVEN A FLOOR PLAN OF
UCTURE.
DSTEIN INQUIRES WHAT THE STRUCTURE IS USED FOR?
PER STATES STRICTLY FOR STORAGE OF VARIOUS ITEMS THAT THE
'LANS TO DO - CARS, RECREATIONAL VEHICLES, ETC. HE HAS
ED IT IS NOT FOR A HOME BUSINESS.
PER ALSO NOTES THAT THERE IS NOT ANYTHING 'IN THE CODE THAT
S A SIMILAR STRUCTURE BECOMING LARGER AND MAKING IT A
FAMILY RESIDENCE. THERE IS NOTHING IN THE CODE THAT SAYS
NOT HAVE A METAL BUILbING FOR A RESIDENCE PROVIDED IT MEETS
NDARD BUILDING CODE, SET BACKS, AND HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS.
~ENUE OF ACCESSORY STRUCTURES SHOULD BE LOOKED AT. NUMBER
M SHOULD BE METAL STRUCTURES. WHAT SHOULD BE DONE IS A
N SQUARE FOOTAGE AND HEIGHT RESTRICTIONS.
TWO ITEM SHOULD ADDRESS ATTACHED STRUCTURES VS. DETACHED
RES; GARAGE AND ACCESSORY STRUCTURES. HEIGHT RESTRICTIONS
E TYPES OF BUILDINGS WILL ALSO BE ADDRESSING THE ISSUE OF
~ MOTOR HOMES/RECREATIONAL VEHICLES TO BE STORE.D ON OWNERS
IES. THE ORDINANCE NOWFOR ACCESSORY STRUCTURES STATES IT
BEHIND THE FRONT BUILDING LINE, CANNOT EXCEED 75% OF THE
VING AREA, AND CANNOT BE HIGHER THAN THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
:IEST WAS TO LIMIT ACCESSORY STRUCTURE CONFORMITY iS TO
~ THE MAXIMUM CEILING HEIGHT WHETHER ATTACHED OR DETACHED.
IT IS ~P TO THE BOARD AND CITY COUNCIL IF THEY WANT TO BE THAT
RESTRIC'-~IVE.
iF THE ~OARD DOESN'T WANT TO BE THAT RESTRICTIVE, OTHER ASPECTS CAN
BE LIMITED. A TYPICAL HOUSE PLAN MAY HAVE THE GARAGE PROTRUDING IN
FRONT ~F THE MAIN HOUSE IN A L-SHAPED PLAN. IF AN ATTACHED
STRUCTURE EXCEEDS A CERTAIN SQ. FOOTAGE/CEILING HEIGHT THEN IT
SHOULD tBE ARCHITECTURALLY DESIGNED SO IT DOESN'T APPEAR .TO BE A
SORE THUMB. THE BOARD COULD ALSO COME UP WITH STRAiGHT"STANDARDS.
/oolh�
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PAGE NINE
/om*) REGULAR MEETING OF NOVEMBER 3, 1994
METAL BUILDINGS CAN BE CONTROLLED BASED ON SIZE TO STILL ALLOW
STORAGE SHEDS. A SURVEY BASED ON TYPICAL SIZES OF COMMERCIAL SHEDS
COULD BE USED.
MR. SHROYER FEELS IT IS INFRINGING ON A HOME OWNER'S RIGHTS TO SAY
HE CAN'T BUILD A STRUCTURE TO STORE A MOTOR HOME IN IT. HE ASKS TO
SEE THE VIDEO AGAIN. HE IS CONCERNED WITH THE PITCH OF THE ROOF
AND SUGGESTS THAT IS ONE ITEM THAT CAN BE REGULATED IN COMPARISON
WITH THE ROOF PITCH OF THE MAIN BUILDING.
MR. COOPER STATES HE WOULD STILL BE CONCERNED THAT THERE ARE GOING
TO BE PEOPLE THAT WILL MEET THAT REQUIREMENT BUT STILL LET THEIR
BUILDING LOOK LIKE THE ONE AT 1421 THORNHILL.
MR. SHROYER ALSO FEELS THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE SHOULD HAVE THE SAME
GENERAL APPEARANCE AS THE MAIN STRUCTURE. HE ASKS IF THE STRUCTURE
AT 1421 THORNHILL WAS ATTACHED?
MR. COOPER STATES YES, BY A BREEZEWAY. HE WANTS THE BOARD TO
REVIEW THE MEANING OF ATTACHED VS. DETACHED, AND SHOULD THERE BE
DIFFERENT CRITERIA FOR THE TWO?
14011\ MR. FALKE STATES THAT HE IS A REC. VEHICLE OWNER AND FEELS LUCKY
SEBASTIAN ALLOWS RV'S ON OWNERS PROPERTY, AS SOME CITIES DON'T. HE
FEELS RV'S ARE MADE TO BE OUTSIDE AND DOESN'T FEEL A STRUCTURE IS
NEEDED TO STORE AN RV.
MR. SHROYER SUGGESTS EVERY BOARD MEMBER SHOULD WRITE OUT WHAT THEY
WANT TO SEE SINCE THERE IS SO MUCH TO COVER.
MR. COOPER AGREES THAT THE COMMISSION SHOULD SUBMIT TO STAFF THEIR
COMMENTS ON WHAT IS PERTINENT AND THEN STAFF WILL TRY TO CORRELATE
THAT INFORMATION AND COME UP WITH A CONSENSUS ON CRITERIA. WE NEED
TO FORMULATE A CATCH—ALL FOR FUTURE BUILDING SITUATIONS.
MR GOLDSTEIN WOULD LIKE STAFF TO ASK THE CITY ATTORNEY HOW
ENFORCEABLE THE COMMISSION ACTING AS THE AESTHETIC REVIEW BOARD
WOULD BE. WOULD THAT BE CHALLENGEABLE?
MR. SCHULKE REVIEWS THAT THE BUILDING AT 1421 THORNHILL WAS ALLOWED
BECAUSE IT WAS CONSIDERED ATTACHED BECAUSE OF THE BREEZEWAY. HE
SUGGESTS A WAY TO IDENTIFY ATTACHED IS TO SHARE A COMMON WALL WITH
THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
MR. COOPER WILL BE REQUESTING THROUGH THE LEAGUE OF CITIES MORE
IDEAS FOR ORDINANCES REGARDING ACCESSORY STRUCTURES.
CHMN. THOMPSON FEELS SECTION 20A-5.7 SHOULD STAY AS IS RELATED TO
eo*1 ATTACHED STRUCTURES. IT STATES THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE SHALL NOT
EXCEED THE HEIGHT OF THE PRINCIPAL STRUCTURE. ALSO SQ. FOOTAGE
W
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PAGE TEN
REGULAR MEETING OF NOVEMBER 3, 1994
SHOULD NOT BE MORE THAN 75% OF THE MAIN BUILDING.
DISCUSSION WILL BE CONTINUED AT A FUTURE MEETING.
PLANTING IN THE RIGHT—OF—WAY
MR. COOPER REVIEWS THAT WHEN THE BOARD FIRST STARTED DISCUSSING
PLANTINGS IN THE ROW, IT WAS FLOWERS AROUND THE MAILBOXES AND
VARIOUS SMALL, LOW LYING PLANTS. THE PREVIOUS CITY ENGINEER
SUGGESTED THE UNIMPROVED ROW, USUALLY A 15 FOOT AREA ON MOST LOCAL
STREETS, CONTAINING A DRAINAGE SWALE SHOULD JUST HAVE SOD.
MAINTENANCE IS UP TO THE PROPERTY OWNER AND PLANTINGS BECOME A
PROBLEM IF THEY DON'T MAINTAIN THEM PROPERLY. THERE WILL BE
CONCERNS OF ALLOWING MULCH THEN. THE ENGINEER SUGGESTED ONLY
ALLOWING SOD, SPRINKLER SYSTEMS, MAIL BOXES, AND NEWSPAPER
RECEPTACLES. LANDSCAPING IS PLEASING TO SEE, BUT ON THE OTHER
HAND, DRAINAGE MAINTENANCE IS IMPORTANT. MR. COOPER WANTS TO SEE
WHAT KIND OF CONSENSUS THE BOARD HAS.
CHMN. THOMPSON ASKS THE BOARD MEMBERS.
MR. FISCHER GIVES HIS APPROVAL FOR PLANTING IN THE ROW.
MR. FALKE FEELS THE CITY DOES A POOR JOB MAINTAINING THE SWALE IN
THE ROW ON VACANT LOTS AND IMPROVED LOTS. HE APPROVES PLANTINGS AS 14�
LONG AS THE OWNER KNOWS IF THEY BECOME A NUISANCE FOR DRAINAGE
MAINTENANCE THE PLANTINGS CAN BE REMOVED BY THE CITY.
MR. BARNES IS ALSO IN FAVOR.
MR. GOLDSTEIN STATES NO. — ONLY AROUND THE MAILBOX.
MR. SHROYER ALSO STATES NO. — AND ALSO ONLY AROUND THE MAILBOX.
MR. MUNSART INQUIRES IF THIS INCORPORATES THE SIZE OF THE MAILBOX,
AS PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED. MR. COOPER STATES YES, HE WOULD LIKE TO
SEE THIS DONE AT THIS TIME IF IT IS GOING TO AMENDED ALSO.
MR. MUNSART STATES HE WOULD ALLOW PLANTING AROUND THE MAILBOX BUT
OTHERWISE NOWHERE ELSE.
MR. SCHULKE STATES NO, EXCEPT AROUND THE MAILBOX.
MRS. BRANTMEYER STATES NO. SHE FEELS THE ORDINANCE SHOULD HAVE NO
CHANGES MADE TO IT, NO PLANTINGS ALLOWED.
CHMN. THOMPSON THINKS 12 INCHES AROUND THE MAILBOX IS OK. HE
COMPLIMENTS CAPTAIN HIRAM'S LANDSCAPING, EVEN THOUGH THE CITY
DOESN'T HAVE TO MAINTAIN THOSE ROW'S. HE FEELS THE REPORT FROM THE
PREVIOUS ENGINEER IS NOT VALID, BEING THE CITY DOESN'T DO A GOOD
JOB WITH UPKEEPING THE ROW'S ANYWAYS.
MR. COOPER STATES THERE IS A CONSENSUS OF ALLOWING PLANTING AROUND
THE MAILBOXES WITH A 2 FOOT PERIMETER. 3 MEMBERS WANTED TO ALLOW lo'1
PLANTING IN ALL OF THE ROW.
PLANNING AND ZONING .COMMISSION
REGULAR MEEtiNG OF NOVEMBER 3,. 19~{
MR, SHROYER NOTES THAT A 2 FOOT PERIMETER IS LARGE ENOUGH TO BE RUN
OVER BY A MAIL DELIVERY VEHICLE OR NEWSPAPER TRUCK AND SUGGESTS
MAKING IT 12 INCHES.
MR. FALKE SUGGESTS ALLOWING PLANTING iN THE HOUSE SIDE OF THE
SWALE.
MR. SCHULKE NOTES THAT SOME RESIDENTS ON SOME STREETS HAVE THE
MAILBOXES ALL ON ONE SIDE OF THE STREET.
MR. MUNSART QUESTIONS WHAT ARE THE ORDINANCES/REGULATIONS REGARDING
PARKING ON THE SWALE?
MR. COOPER STATES THERE ARE NONE AT THIS TIME.
FINAL CONSENSUS OF THE BOARD IS 7 MEMBERS ARE FOR PLANTIN~ AROUND
THE MAILBOXES ONLY, ~ 2 MEMBERS FOR PLANTINGANYWHERE IN THE ROW.
,,CHAXRMAHMATTERS3
CHMN. THOMPSON INQUIRES ABOUT RESOLUTION R-94-58, QUASI-JUDICIAL
HEARINGS.
MR. COOPER STATES PLANNiNGAND ZONING SHOULD ADAPT THE FORMAT OF R-
94-58 FOR THEIR USE UNTIL THE CITY ATTORNEY IS FINISHED'WITH THE
RESOLUTION FOR P & Z. SITE PLANS AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS ARE
THE AUTHORATIVE iSSUES THAT CONCERN PLANNING AND ZONING.
MR. GOLDSTEIN SUGGESTS P & Z ADOPT R-94-58 FOR THEIR OWN USE
INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR A NEW RESOLUTION.
MR. COOPER AGREES. THE RESOLUTION WILL BE RE-DEFINED FOR P & Z AND
PUT ON THE AGENDA OF THE NEXT MEETING FOR THE BOARD'S APPROVAL.
MEMBERS MATTERS~
MR. GOLDSTEIN ASKS IF HE MAY ROUTE SOME QUESTIONS REGARDING THE
RIVERFRONT DEVELOPMENT TO THE CITY .ATTORNEY THROUGH THE COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT? MR. COOPER STATES YES.
MR. GOLDSTEIN THEN ASKS TO PUT A RIVERFRONT DISCUSSION ON THE NEXT
AGENDA.
MR. SHROYER ASKS FOR COPIES OF THE "VISIONS OF RIVERFRONT" DOCUMENT
AND OTHER PREVIOUS PERTINENT DOCUMENTS TO BE AVAILABLE FOR THE
MEMBERS FOR THAT DISCUSSION.
