• PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD AUGUST 17, 1988 3. All of this land is in the MUSA boundary. The City was informed by Paul Montain that development of his parcel would not start for fifteen years. That land is presently being sold (or is sold) for development purposes. It appears that as other parcels are for sale, development could come quickly to the area. Zoning now would save piecemeal actions in the future. MOTION: Averbeck moved to recommend to Council consideration of additional R -1X rezonings in the Reshanau Lake Estates area encompasing all the lands that John Millers letter refers to - plus #1 and #2 and #3 in the City Planners memo stated above. Averbeck is basing this motion on the City Planner's recommendations. Irwin seconded the motion and the motion was carried unanimously. HOUSEKEEPING AMENDMENTS TO VARIOUS CITY ORDINANCES: When the Planning and Zoning Board and the City Council took action to implement the recommendations of the comprehensive plan amendment and to create the executive housing district, some of the old zoning districts disappeared and several new districts were created. Unfortunately other city ordinances and other parts of the zoning ordinances make reference to the old districts and do not include the new ones. The City Council has authorized spending money to have all of city ordinances codified. Among other things this will be especially helpful to Pete Kluegel, the Building Inspector as the zoning ordinance will be one document rather than a book with a bunch of separate ordinance amendments stuffed into it. Information will be made more easily available. In Addition Ron Stahlberg, the City Engineer, has long been concerned about several requirements in the subdivision ordinance. The engineer would like amendments that would do the following: 1. Increase the 500 foot maximum cul -de -sac length. (Suggest 900 feet) 2. Eliminate the need for side yard drainage easements.
