MINUTES City Council Sept. 23, 1987 Zoning Ordinance Amendments (Cont.) The first section discussed was Section I dealing with Commercial Recreations. It was the concensus of the Council that "dance Nalls" should be listed in the ordinance as Commercial Recreation. Next discussed was Section 2, with the only change from what was proposed by the Planner is the addition of the word "required" prior to the words "side yard" in 903.020.D.8. Council made no changes to proposed Section 3. Sections 4 and 5 were also approved by the Council as proposed, except that under 903.020.G.8 the term "building permit" was changed to "occupancy permit". Council had lengthy discussion with regard to Section 6 regarding the extension of decks or swimming pools into side yards. Fahey felt that a deck or swimming pool should be able to extend to within 5 feet of the property line on a sideyard. However, the rest of the Council felt that such improvements listed in Section 6 should only be allowed 5 feet into the required sideyard.. Fahey pointed out that in the case of a corner lot, a deck or pool should be able to be constructed to five feet of the side lot line, noting that there is a 30 foot required setback on corner lots. The Planner agreed with Fahey as long as the deck or pool did not interfere with visibility on the street. It was the concensus of the Council that Section 6 be amended so that terraces, steps, uncovered porches, stoops or similar features be allowed to encroach 5 feet into a required front or sideyard setback. Next discussed was Section 7 with Council discussing what materials can be used for surfacing to control dust and drainage. Scalze pointed out that recycled bituminous does not control dust once it is absorbed by the sub-base. Council felt Section 7 should be amended to state that parking spaces and driveways shall be paved rather than shall be surfaced. The Planner suggested that the section state that required surfacing would be concrete or paving except in the case of single-family detached and twin family dwellings. Council discussed and had no changes with Sections 8 through 20 as proposed. Mr. Blesener introduced the following ordinance and moved its adoption: ORDINANCE N0. 288 - AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTIONS 902, 903, 907, 911, 912 AND 913 OF THE LITTLE CANADA CITY CODE, KNOWN AS THE LITTLE CANADA ZONI~IG ORDINANCE AS AMENDED Page -18-
