UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
Design Review Ordinance:
1. Page 36: Alternative Methods of Compliance: the form
referenced to in B., should be provided wi thin this guide. It
needs to be part of this package as an exhibit. Note: Mona asked
the Variance Code be checked as this is a variance and is more
restrictive.
1. Page 41:
City Code.
The drainage section needs to read that it is part of
2. Turn of the Century should been defined, and indicate the years
involved. Note: the years are defined in current code
3. Page 15, #10: Portable signs were questioned as far as real
estate, open house or political signs. If you do not read page 18,
this is not understandable. Temporary signs should be allowed
under "industry standards", and not more restrictive i.e.
construction signs, etc. Note: the attorney said that there needs
to be more cross referencing throughout the document both
internally and externally (with the code).
4. Page 37: speaks to specific varieties of plants. Requiring
specific plants is not reasonable. This list can be suggested but
not required. Also, landscaping is required by code, but
landscaping is not defined. Also the same requirement should be
made as far a building sites definition.
5. Public rights-of-ways are not owned by the city and
requirements for landscaping is questionable, legally, from the
standpoint of ITD, ACHD or any ditch company. Landscaping can only
occur with their permission.
6. Page 17: construction sign should be no more than 6 sq. ft.
should read 32 sq. ft.
7. Subdivision entrances & common areas should be included in the
design review standards.
8.
Paint colors are not addressed in the document.
9. The informational document should remain a guide and not become
part of the code. Right now the guide reads like code, it includes
more than the code.
The City legal counsel will provide the Commission a written review
of the document. From a constitutional standpoint that standard is
that the ordinance is readily understood by those who have ordinary
intelligence. The document must be readily understood and there are
some sections that could be deemed "unreasonable". The City
Attorney will address her concerns in writing and get the
information to P&Z prior to the next meeting.
Moved by MERRILL and seconded by MAYER to continue the matter until
July 10 in order to receive the attorney's report. ALL AYE:
MOTION CARRIED.
Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law/Hopkins Evergreen Service
- CUP and Covey Glen Floodplain/Rezone and Preliminary Plat:
Moved by BRINTON and seconded by MERRILL to approve the findings
as presented. ALL AYE: MOTION CARRIED.
The Council report was given by Mary Berent.
The Downtown Development report was given by MERRILL.
There being no further business the meeting adjourned at 9:30
p.m.
