".IHUTES <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />August 14, 1986 <br />Conditional Motion seconded by Mr. Perlinger. <br />Use Permits <br />(Cont.) Motion carried 6 - 0. <br />Text <br />Amendment <br />5riveway <br />Turn- arounds <br />Setbacks <br />For <br />Accessory <br />Buildings <br />The City Planner submitted to the Commission a proposed text <br />amendment providing for driveway turnarounds. The Planner <br />explained that in some areas it is hazardous to back onto a <br />City street, Edgerton for example, and a driveway turn around <br />can be backed into so that a car can pull out onto the street. <br />Mrs. Timmons was concerned that these turnarounds would become <br />parking spots. Timmons felt that there would be problems <br />enforcing this. Timmons pointed out that the ordinance states <br />that these spots should not be used for parking and suggested <br />that this be eliminated as there are other City ordinances that <br />address this. <br />The Planner stated that if the City allows parking in these <br />turnaround spots, it will defeat the purpose of the turnaround. <br />Timmons stated that she would not like to see cars tagged for <br />parking is such spots if someone had a party, for example, and <br />the spot was used for extra parking. Timmons felt that the <br />City's ordinance already addressed the issue of abandoned cars <br />or inoperable cars. Timmons did not think the City should write <br />an ordinance that was unenforceahle. <br />Mrs. Timmons recommended approval of the proposed text amendment <br />pertaining to driveway turnarounds with the exclusion of the <br />last sentence of that ordinance due to the reasons stated above. <br />Motion seconded by Mr. Perlinger. <br />Motion carried 6 - 0. <br />The Planner submitted a proposed text amendment to the Commission <br />which sets a rearyard setback for accessory buildings at 10 feet. <br />The Planner explained that this was the setback under the City's <br />old ordinance, but when the ordinances were revised, the rearyard <br />setback was changed to 30 feet. <br />The Planner pointed out that currently that are many non - conforming <br />accessory buildings in the City that could not be rebuilt under <br />the current ordinance if the need arose. <br />The Planner pointed out that this ordinance would apply to <br />accessory buildings such as garages, gazebos, tool sheds, etc. <br />Pane -8- <br />
