MINUTES City Council (Cont'd.) February 6, 1980 Councilman DeBace stated that the Planner would be doing a lot of the Building Inspector's duties under the Zoning Administrative Assistant proposal. Mrs. Scalze suggested that perhaps the Planner's proposal could be amended to eliminate the duties that would be performed by the Building Inspector. The Planner stated that he noticed that Mr. Stenger has a barbed -wire fence up near the office buildings he built. He will be checking the City's ordinance to see if this is allowed. The Planner also stated that under the Zoning Administrative Assistant proposal he would be checking on compliance with landscaping plans. These are two examples of what the Zoning Administrative Assistant would be checking. Councilman DeBace suggested that the Planner could coordinate these types of things with the Building Inspector._ Councilman Fahey suggested this be tried on a trial basis. Fahey suggested that the City Clerk keep track of the time spent with the Planner on this to see if the proposal is working out. Mr. Nadeau introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION N0. 80 -2 -60 - APPOINTING NORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS FOR A SIX -MONTH PERIOD AS THE CITY'S ZONING ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Mrs. Scalze. Ayes (5) Nadeau, Scalze, Hanson, DeBace, Fahey. Nayes (0). Resolution declared adopted. This resolution appears in Resolution book No. 6, Page 35. Length Of Councilwoman Scalze questioned the City Attorney how long a plan approval Plan for a development was good. In the case of Ar.Mon Properties, they received Approval plan approval for some office buildings. It now appears that they may not build the buildings. Scalze was wondering if Ar.Mon decided to go ahead with the development at a much later date, if the Council's approval was still in effect. The Attorney stated that there should be provision in the City's ordinance that Council approval terminates after a certain length of time. Perhaps a time period of one year should be set. Scalze stated that this should be included in the new Zoning Ordinance. The Planner stated that if this was included in the new Zoning Ordinance any prior approvals would have a time period for the development to get underway from the effective date of the ordinance. The Attorney suggested that the Ordinance say that approval of a development plan supposes that the developer intends to go ahead with the project within a reasonable amount of time and then set out wilat that reasonable amount of time is.
