Page 6 Planning and Zoning, June 20, 1979 Mr. Gourley brought up the fact that there had been some oversights pertaining to the Baldwin Lake Trailer Court addition: (1) There was a street coming from the south side of the plat that had narrowed down to 28 feet. The requirement was 30 feet, so it was not in compliance with the ordinance. (2) There was an objection by the owners to the sidewalks, based on the fact that Ordinance No. 56 did not require sidewalks. The ordinances the Commission had looked at were Nos. 39 and 39A, which were superceded by Ordinance No. 56. However, it was still within the capability of the Commission to require sidewalks. (3) The plat had lots on the north side which were only 50 feet in width. Ordinance No. 56 requires a width of 60 feet. Another variance procedure would be required to allow the 50 -foot lots. A previous variance had already been issued in reference to the angling of the trailers and there was some reluctance to consider another variance. (4) Ordinance 56, section 6.11 states that fire hydrants be required throughout the area in such a way as to satisfy the Fire Marshall. According to Mr. Magnusen, no hydrants were required by the Fire Marshall. Mr. Gourley suggested that the Commission should perhaps consider changing this ordinance in the future, as it seemed very broad. (5) A letter from the city attorney indicated that there must be a rezoning on some of the parcels included in the expansion. This comes under Ordinance No. 56, as this usage is not commercial. The Clerk had been instructed to write Mr. Magnusen and give him a copy of the attorney's letter and request that they fill out an application for a rezone. Mr. Gourley pointed out that the problem lies in the fact that these ordinances are on the books, and that it is not realized that these are superceded by ordinances of a later date. Ordinances Nos. 6, 39, and 39A are no longer in effect and are superceded by Ordinance No 56. The Clerk had also been asked to contact the Fire Marshall and find out about the fire hydrant situation. Vi Schwankl moved to adjourn at 11:40 p.m. Mr. Johnson seconded the motion. All were in favor. Motion declared passed.
