LOT MODIFICATIONS AND WALL HEIGHTS IN
RESIDENTIAL ZONES.
Planning Director Hardisty provided
clarification of proposed amendments to
Municipal Code Book Titles 16 (Zoning)
& 17 (Subdivisions).
Brunni stated concerns and requested
answers to questions in reference to the
memo from Planning Director Hardisty,
dated July 6, 1994:
1)
3)
4)
5)
6)
What is the history that prompted con-
sideration of these issues?
Item $1: Are there other reasons walls
are permitted and/or required (i.e.
security)?
Item ~2: What is the benefit to the
citizens (general public) of proposed
change?
Item $3: Do we require extra open-space
of multi-family dwellings or are we
simply attempting to discourage single-
family residential in a multi-family
zone? What is the real issue?
Do these changes effect any pending
tracts/subdivisions?
80% rule: There is some concern that
there is limited flexibility in that;
Was it referred for separate consid-
eration? Would it be more appropriate
to delete this from the ordinance and
handle that as a totally separate issue?

meeting discuss options on the issues.
Motion by DeMond to add Closed Session Item
