<br />o <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />Planning Commission Minutes <br />February 22, 1983 <br />Page Eight <br /> <br />MOTION BY COMMISSIONER HARTMAN, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER TRALLE, TO RECOMMEND <br />TO THE CITY COUNCIL TO ADOPT ORDINANCE AMENDMENT 1008.26 AS WRITTEN. THE MOTION <br />PASSED 7-0. <br /> <br />9. Consider Ordinance Amendment 900.18 <br /> <br />Rick Breezee indicated this has been a long, drawn-out situtation and explained <br />the history of the Ordinance to the new Planning Commission members. Rick Breezee <br />stressed the purpose of the ordinance. <br /> <br />Commissioner Pearce indicated how this all came about and further indicated that <br />600' puts things to far away; 300' would be more appropriate. <br /> <br />Rick Breezee indicated this whole item has become confusing because of morator- <br />iums, changes, etc... and further indicated that setbacks would have to be followed. <br />This is in regard to A-I areas where the 600' pertain. <br /> <br />Discussion followed regarding the 300' amount and it was indicated it was a hypo- <br />thetical number and it was also an amount other cities used. Rick Breezee indi- <br />cated he was not making a recommendation. <br /> <br />Chairman Tracy indicated that the Building and Zoning Administrator is the person <br />who would enforce this. <br /> <br />Zack Johnson indicated he felt that 600' was not very far and that 300' was not much <br />space. <br /> <br />Discussion followed regarding where a person could put a pole barn in relation to <br />his neighbors, which is what the Ordinance pertains to and also variances were dis- <br />cussed. <br /> <br />Commissioner Pearce discussed long, narrow lots and felt this was geared to 10-acre <br />farms. Commissioner Pearce felt that on big farms, this was not a problem and that <br />300' seems reasonable. <br /> <br />Rick Breezee discussed metal skinned buildings and indicated that staff felt 600' <br />was reasonable while Council felt 300' wassreasonable. <br /> <br />Chairman Tracy indicated there were two problems - one, either too restrictive with <br />small lots, or two, the problem it would create with the neighbors. <br /> <br />MOTION BY COMMISSIONER PEARCE, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER WARD, TO RECOMMEND TO THE <br />CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE AMENDMENT' 900.18. THE MOTION PASSED 4-3, WITH <br />COMMISSIONER HARTMAN, COMMISSIONER WARD AND CHAIRMAN TRACY VOTING NO. <br /> <br />Commissioner Ward questioned the word "shall" in line 3 or the ordinance. <br />
