1 1 1 PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD December 11, 1985 Page Four AMENDMENTS TO CITY CODE Park Dedication - Ordinance #14 -85 The Board discussed the proposed amendment to the City Code with respect to park dedication. They were concerned that the new park dedication amendment calling for $160 per unit or ten per- cent of the fair market land value would generally mean that the City would collect money rather than land for park dedication. The consensus of the Board was that this would not be conducive to procuring land which is so badly needed, particularly in the southeastern portion of the City. MOTION: Mr. Prokop moved to not recommend approval of this ordin- ance ( #14 -85), but rather have it sent back to the originating organization strongly suggesting that the language be changed so that the City has the opportunity to take land at their dis- cretion in plats and metes and bounds subdivisions for park dedi- cation. Motion seconded by Mr. Doocy, and carried unanimously. Day Care Nurseries - Ordinance #13-85 Per P & Z's request at their 11/85 meeting, Ordinance #13 -85 pro- posing an amendment to the code regarding day care nurseries was considered by the P & Z Board. City Attorney, Mr. Hawkins sub- mitted a letter dated 12/10/85 explaining his findings in review of this issue. Mr. Hawkins noted that the amendment which the P & Z was considering this evening does not address day care nurseries of over twelve persons. The Board requested that this Ordinance #13 -85 be returned to the City Attorney and revised to address over twelve persons per his 12/10/85 letter, before forwarding to the Council. Surface Drainage - Ordinance #15 -85 Ordinance #15 -85 was reviewed by the P & Z Board. This ordinance deals with design requirements for off - street parking. The Board realized in discussion that some members interpreted "off- street" parking as driveways and customer parking lots, while other members' interpretation was that "off- street" parking included areas where any motorized vehicle would be stored (such as in exterior storage areas for a business). MOTION: Mr. Cody moved that the words "and storage areas" be added to the proposed amendment, which would clarify and require that exterior storage areas where vehicles are parked be paved with bituminous or concrete surface. Mr. Cody later withdrew this motion. 153
