MINUTES <br /> <br /> City Council <br /> (Cont'd.) <br /> January 31 , 19£30 <br /> Nielson stated that the way the ordinance reads the inaction of the <br /> Council or the Planning Commission within a certain time period would <br /> deem approval. <br /> Fahey suggested a sentence be added stating that failure by the Planning <br /> Commission 'to act would be deemed approval. Fahey stated that if the <br /> Planning Commission hasn't acted within GO days, the person applying <br /> 'Fora permit should be able to go to the Council. <br /> The Attorney stated that it would be better if the proposed Ordinance <br /> stated that failure to act within the required time 'limit would deem <br /> denial. <br /> The Attorney also stated that the words "staff" or "staff person" as <br /> used in the proposed Ordinance should be defined somewhere in the Ordinance. <br /> The Attorney suggested that under paragraph F on page 67 the phrase <br /> "and the City staff's report" should be changed to read "and any City <br /> staff's report". Councilman Fahey suggested that in that same paragraph <br /> the words "at its next regular meeting" should be eliminated. <br /> Councilwoman Scalze questioned if the City wants to require that a <br /> variance or conditional use permit must be passed by rl/5th's vote <br /> of the Council. Council discussed that the way paragraph J on page G7 <br /> and paragraph L. on page h3 are worded, the amount of votes required <br /> to pass a variance or a conditional use permit could be interpreted <br /> differently. Councilman Fahey suggested that both these paragraphs <br /> be changed to state that four affirmative votes of the City Council <br /> are required for passage. <br /> The Planner stated that on page 68 there will be a new paragraph E <br /> inserted to reflect the changes as previously discussed far conditional <br /> use permits. <br /> The Attorney questioned whether the Ordinance gave the [iuilding Inspector <br /> the authority to issue citations. The Planner stated that page 82 of <br /> the proposed ordinance gives the Zoning Administrator the power to issue <br /> citations. The City can appoint whomever it wishes as the Zoning <br /> Administrator. <br /> Councilwoman questioned 2. under section Nl. which calls fora minimum <br /> unit lot frontage for townhouses of not less than twenty feet. The <br /> Planner stated the reason fora minimum of 20 feet was to provide for <br /> on-street parking. The Attorney suggested adding the words "not <br /> including side yard setbacks" to that area. <br /> Councilman Fahey stated that in the second paragraph under Section L <br /> the last word in the third line should be changed to "this". <br /> Page -n- <br /> <br />
