MINUTES CITY COUNCIL MAY 24, 2006 AMENDMENT TO ZONING CODE — IMPERVIOUS SURFACE & SECOND CURB CUTS in most cases people were moving small businesses from their homes and into commercial locations. Rossow reported that he receives very few inquiries from larger enterprises. Blesener again noted the need for staff to put together some options that will tighten the City's control over outdoor storage while allowing property owners the reasonable use of their property. It was the consensus of the Council that there should be a reasonable ratio of building rental space to outdoor storage space and not the minimum numbers discussed at the Planning Commission meeting. Mr. LaValle introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 2006 -5 -119 — TABLING ACTION ON THE AMENDMENTS TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS FOR 194/196, 3164, AND 3175 RYAN LANE REQUESTED BY LEE ROSSOW UNTIL THE JUNE 28, 2006 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING CONTINGENT UPON MR. ROSSOW SIGNING A SIXTY -DAY WAIVER AGREEMENT The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Allan. Ayes (5). Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. Blesener opened the Public Hearing to consider an Amendment to the Zoning Code Chapter 903.050, relative to the issue of impervious surface and curb cut accesses for detached single - family dwellings. The City Planner and Planning Commission recommended approval of the amendment as proposed. The City Planner presented the background on this proposed amendment, noting that the Council recently amended the Code to allow second curb cuts for single- family properties by Conditional Use Permit provided that certain conditions are met. One of these conditions was that the impervious surface area on the property cannot exceed 30 %, although it was the intent of the Council to grandfather in any properties that already exceeded this amount. The Planner noted that the property owner that requested the initial amendment exceeds the 30% impervious surface limitation on his property. The Planner reported that the amendment before the Council this evening reflects the Council's intent allowing a second curb cut provided that no additional impervious surface is added if the property is already at or over 30 %. It also allows the City to require additional storm water management measures to resolve new or existing drainage issues. 6
