o o Planning Commission Minutes June 26, 1984 Page Seven structure happens to be located nearer than eight feet to the fence, it could be possible for a child or a teenager to climb this fence and either fall or jump into the pool. Commissioner Pearce questioned why this regulation was limited to R-l areas only. Rick Breezee indicated that R-2 or R-3 areas dealt with rental situations, and in these cases the state would have to regulate the fencing of pools. Commissioner Pearce indicated that townhomes located in R-2 and R-3 areas would be owner/ occupied, so he felt that the regulations should be included in R-2 and R-3 areas. Commissioner Tralle and Pearce indicated that they both felt more comfortable with a fence five feet in height rather than four feet. COMMISSIONER WILLE MOVED TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL THAT AN ORDINANCE AMENDMENT FOR SWIMMING POOLS AS AN ACCESSORY STRUCTURE READ AS FOLLOWS: "SWIMMING POOLS SHALL BE LOCATED NOT CLOSER THAN EIGHT FEET TO A REQUIRED SIDE YARD AND REAR YARD AND COMPLY TO THE REQUIRED FRONT YARD SETBACK IN SECTION 900.18. SWIMMING POOLS MUST BE COMPLETELY ENCLOSED WITH A CHAIN LINK OR SIMILAR FENCE AT LEAST FIVE FEET HIGH WITH A LOCKABLE GATE," AND FURTHER THAT THIS AMENDMENT BE ADDED TO ALL ZONING AREAS AS AN ACCESSORY USE IN SECTION 900.14 OF THE CITY'S ZONING ORDINANCE. MOTION PASSED 6-0. 10~.Ken Beaudry was present at the meeting and questioned whether he could talk to the Planning Commissioners regarding rennovation on his gas station. Rick Breezee indicated that the area of Beaudry Oil is zoned C-l and therefore gas stations are not allowed, except as a non-conforming use, and therefore any remodeling must be approved by City Council. Mr. Beaudry indicated that the two problems he had with the existing station is elbow room and the garage, and there not being enough room for parking. Mr. Beaudry indicated he would like to take out part of the building so that he would have more room, and then he would like to add another row of pumps. He also indicated that they may be thinking about replacing the garage with a store somewhat similar to Food N Fuel Convenience Store. Mr. Beaudry further indicated that he wants to handle the business that he has better. The Building and Zoning Administrator recommended amending the City Code to allow Fuel Stations in a C-l Zoning Designation as a conditional use. Commissioner Wille indicated that he felt that since Mr. Beaudry has been in the station there has been a big improvement in the overall appearance of the gas station. It was the consensus of the Planning Commission to review an ordinance amendment to the City's Zoning Ordinance Section 900.l6(5d) to add fuel stations as a conditional use in a C-l zone at their next meeting. 11. Ordinance Amendment to Require Planning Commission to Hold Public Hearings. Commissioner Pearce was under the impression that the City Council had already voted on the Planning Commission holding public hearings and that it was unanimous. The Building and Zoning Administrator indicated that the City Council had not voted on this item.
