City Council Minutes Page 8 April 17, 2017 ----------------------------- Moved by Councilmember Westgaard and seconded by Councilmember Olsen to adopt ordinance 17-07 amending the city’s zoning code to eliminate the wetland setback requirements for fencing and maintained vegetation on parcels platted prior to June 19, 2006. Motion carried 5-0. The City Council recessed at 7:44 p.m. in order to go in to work session. The Council reconvened at 7:50 p.m. 9.1. Concept Review: Trace Heights 2 Addition nd Mr. Leeseberg presented his staff report. Justin Moody, applicant – indicated he is not in favor of constructing a temporary cul-de-sac to full specifications because of the cost. He would prefer to construct a temporary cul-de-sac with barricades as he has done in other communities. The Council discussed concerns with traffic movements (backing up, plowing, etc.) if street C is not made into a cul-de-sac. Mr. Moody stated he would be willing to restrict driveways off of street C. Mr. Leeseberg explained staff’s concern is many times the homeowner wants the driveway oriented to make the backyard larger which would require a driveway off of street C. Mr. Moody indicated he doesn’t even have to stub the street in if not required. He added street C wouldn’t have to be plowed if no driveways are present. Mayor Dietz indicated he would be comfortable with a barricade rather than a cul-de-sac as long as no driveways are on the street. Mr. Moody indicated Outlot A will hold drainage water. Consensus of the Council is for street B to be a cul-de-sac and for staff to work with the applicant on the street C configuration. 9.2 Discussion on Ordinance Amendment Related to Outdoor Storage Mr. Carlton presented his staff report. Mayor Dietz expressed concerns with future ramifications of changing the ordinance and allowing outdoor storage without a principal use. The Council expressed concerns with this parcel’s close proximity and visibility to Highway 10.
