<br />11 <br /> <br />Swimming pools ...........................................................................................914.210 <br />This section reiterates dimensional requirements stated elsewhere in the code such as setbacks, <br />building height, rear yard coverage, the number of accessory buildings allowed, special <br />exceptions for garden sheds between the house and the side lot line, and Little Free Libraries. <br />Corner Sight Triangles <br />This is a common requirement to allow motorists and bicyclists to see traffic approaching on the <br />intersecting street. <br />Drainage, Erosion Control and Stormwater Management <br />These typical requirements help achieve the objectives of the City’s Surface Water Management <br />Plan. <br />Driveways and Internal Access Roads <br />This section addresses the number of driveways allowed, their location and their width. Sub- <br />section (A)(4) limits the width a residential driveway at the property line to 18 feet. Sub-section <br />(E) allows no more than 16 housing units (except apartments) to be served by a private driveway; <br />beyond that number, a public street should be used. <br />Exterior Storage, Commercial or Industrial <br />This section addresses (A) the outdoor display of commercial merchandise and (B) screening <br />outdoor storage on industrial sites. <br />Exterior Storage, Residential <br />The current zoning code was the source for this detailed section. It addresses the sometimes- <br />difficult topic of parking wheeled vehicles on residential lots. <br />Fences <br />No changes are proposed from the current regulations for residential, commercial and industrial <br />fences. <br />Landscaping and Screening <br />This important, new section provides specific and measurable requirements for planting plans <br />and other screening for residential, commercial or industrial development. Its purpose is to <br />soften and beautify development, provide transitions between incompatible land uses, lessen the <br />subjective judgment often involved in design, and provide fair and even treatment for all <br />applicants. Some exceptions and deviations are inevitable, but these requirements should make <br />life easier for all involved and ensure a minimum level of landscaping for all new development. <br />Lighting, Exterior <br />The intention here is to allow needed lighting but to keep it on-site as much as practical. <br />Parking, Off-Street <br />The required minimum number of off-street parking spaces for commercial or industrial <br />development has been reduced.
