• COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 14, 1997 that Staff recommends incorporation of this Ordinance into the Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment (Ordinance No. 09 - 97), should this Second Reading be approved. She added Staff's recommendation that this section of the Ordinance be published in its entirety. Ms. Wyland reminded the Council that the Planning and Zoning Board had three (3) consecutive "packed" meetings to discuss this Ordinance prior to development of the amendment. Council Member Bergeson asked what rules would be in place if this amended Ordinance is not approved. Ms. Wyland informed him that the original Ordinance referencing no parking or storage within the 30 -foot setback area. She added that the approved wording for this amendment has been published and accepted by the public, and that many residents will be surprised if this amendment is not approved as presented. Mayor Landers expressed continued concern regarding the 15 -foot setback that was previously discussed. He felt that 15 feet is not sufficient. This is a safety issue, and moving vehicles in neighboring properties is dangerous without better visibility. Council Member Kuether suggested further discussion of this Ordinance amendment at a future work session. Council Member Lyden asked what concerns the Police Department has with the Ordinance as amended. Ms. Wyland indicated the Police Department has no problem with the proposed wording. Council Member Bergeson suggested that even though there is concern over the 15 -foot setback, as written it clarifies certain ambiguities included in the existing Ordinance and is an improvement. Mayor Landers recommended passage of the amended Ordinance with the condition that it be reevaluated one year from now. Council Member Lyden moved to adopt the SECOND READING of Ordinance No. 17 - 97, and to incorporate Ordinance No. 17 - 97 into Ordinance No. 09 - 97, Zoning Ordinance Amendment, Recreational Vehicles, with the condition that in one year the Ordinance be reviewed.
