Q, 1 Page 6 — Planning and Zonning Commission November 7, 1979 The fifth policy is the City will adopt and enforce the necessary codes and inspections standards to prevent blight from occurring. Mr. McLean said the City has adopted the State Buildind Code, but Mr. Short said this probably does not include a maintenance code and Mr. McLean noted that the staff this City presently has does not allow for much in this area. Mr. Short said the statement should read something to the effect that the City will continue to enforce the State Building Code, Plumbing Code and Electrical Code and will be receptive to ideas of applying a maintenance code when the City grows to the point where it can handle the administrative end. There was more discussion on a maintenance code. Mr. McLean noted the City has a Nuisance Ordinance which seems to be a catch all for mainte enance and other problems. Mr. Gourley asked if a maintenance code was required or needed. Mr. Short said the Board should tell him if it should be included. It was agreed not to getinto this until the need arises. The last three items, Mr. Locke said may be a little "far out" but could be considered. There was discussion on Metro recommendation for lot sizes, 6,000 to 8,000 square feet for sewered lots, and no minimum size for houses. Mayor Karth gave Mr. Short and Mr. Locke the background on the lot and house size decision in Shenandoah 111. Mr. Short asked if the City looked into reducing the street frontage re- quirement. It was explained it is presently 75' on sewered Tots and 150' on non-sewered lots. Mr. Short asked if the Council would like to see any recommendation on smaller lot sizes. This will be discussed at the next meeting. There was discussion on Centerville lot sizes. Mr. Short said policies are an important part of the Land Use Plan. They should be in.conjunction with a map. The Shoreline Management restrictions were discussed in relation to building multifamily housing near our lakes. Density was discussed and what each type of multi -family housing constituted what amount of density. Mr. McLean talked about a specific instance but this was not audible. (something about for instance one acre, 18 units, etc.) Park requirements were discussed in conjunction with high density population and probably the developer would be required to give more park dedication in this instance (not necesarily land but rather the facilities.) Mr. Gourley said the next meeting will be Wednesday November 14, 1979 at 8:00 p.m. Mr. Short said the City could apply for an extension of time to complete the Comprehensive Plan. The best time to apply for the extension is when the City is sure• it cannot meet the deadline. At this time we are pretty much on schedule. There was a discussion on the progress of the Plan and what will happen at
