City Council :Minutes July 10, 2006 Page 4 points are points and that by placing the positions together this typical job evaluation summary should work well. . Councilmember Farber stated that he would like us to be modeled at 60% and that he doesn't want us to be in the middle. Councilmember Gumphrey stated that he would like to see the categories shortened up and to use the same cities that we have used in the past. Ms. Johnson explained that step increases due in July 2006 will be based on the current pay plan and any positions that have not previously been assigned a pay grade will be assigned one based on the current pay plan and the new position hierarchy. MOVED BY COUNCILMEMBER GUMPHREY AND SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER FARBER TO CONTINUE WITH OUR CURRENT PAY PLAN UNTIL COUNCIL MAKES A DECISION ON THE STUDY. MOTION CARRIED 5-0. 6.5. Review Ordinance Regarding 4 Lots for 40 Acres This item was continued from an earlier Council meeting for further discussion after action on the Carverwood Hills preliminary plat. City Attorney Peter Beck stated that it is his understanding that it is the intent to maintain one unit per 10-acre density in the A-l zoning district while allowing some flexibility in the configuration of lots within that zoning district. He stated that this footnote has always been interpreted to allow larger parcels to be developed under this language at the rate of one lot per 10 acres, with a 2.5 acre minimum lot size. It was the consensus of the Council to bring back this item to another meeting for further discussion. . 6.6. Planning Commission Discussion Items A. Above Ground Swimming Pools and Fencing Update Community Development Director Scott Clark stated that currently the state's building regulations requires permits for pools above 24-inches in height, and City ordinance states that if a permit is required, then a fence needs to be constructed, except for pools that are 48-inches or higher. The Planning Commission is of the opinion that a fence should not be required since the permitting allows the City to further insure other safety features that can be put into effect, such as removable ladders, fold-up ladders, etc. This controlled access would be required for pools 24-inches or higher and failure to do so would be a misdemeanor which could result in a citation. B. Tempora~ Signs Update Mr. Clark explained that the Planning Commission will be reviewing the staff report at their July 11, 2006 meeting. At this time, suggestions have been made to change the ordinance to reflect that a temporary sign may be up for 3 months in a given year. The current ordinance allows a multi-tenant building to have 3 months of signage which in turn allows the overall property to have temporary signage for the entirety of the year. With changes, the time for temporary signage annually would change from 90 days to 30 days with signage allocated per property and not the individual business. It is also proposed to recommend a flat fee of $50 per Sign. .
