COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 14, 2003 APPROVED 287 ii. Consideration of Resolution No. 03-101, Approving Final Plat, Jeff Smyser 288 289 City Planner Smyser summarized the staff report. He stated that if City Council is inclined to 290 approve the final plat, he would want to ensure the title work is in order before the resolution is 291 signed. He reviewed the recommendations and conditions. He noted that on condition 7.c.viii, the 292 overhang was originally specified at 36 inches, with 18 inches for the gable overhang. He stated the 293 park owners wanted some flexibility, so it was changed to 24 to 36 inches and 12 to 18 inches. He 294 indicated when Planning and Zoning reviewed this, they wanted them all to be the same. He noted 295 staff is okay with a little flexibility. He noted when City Council is comfortable that all the issues are 296 adequately resolved they can vote on the final plat. 297 298 Mayor Bergeson asked if there was a recommendation from staff related to the title issue. City 299 Planner Smyser stated he prefers to have everything in order, but if it is approved contingent on the 300 City Attorney's review, it probably is not necessary. 301 302 City Attorney Hawkins indicated he is comfortable with making it contingent. He stated there are 303 seldom issues the City Council needs to resolve; typically they only see minor technical corrections. 304 305 Mayor Bergeson indicated that the airplane hangars are never really pretty buildings anyway, so he is 306 not too concerned with the overhang. He indicated if something is in place on the exterior to make 307 sure it is not too unsightly he would be okay with the flexibility. 308 309 Councilmember Carlson asked how this type of building is handled now. City Planner Smyser *310 indicated right now they only have the building code, which gives them no control on colors or some 311 other aspects. He indicated any other construction requirements are done through the airpark. He 312 indicated the only thing the City has is control over the size and other building code requirements. 313 314 Councilmember Carlson indicated with the size of 3200 square feet the sprinkler requirement is an 315 issue, since it is part of the building code the City adopted, and she wonders if for that reason the City 316 needs to have some involvement. City Planner Smyser stated the 3200 square feet was given years 317 ago to the air park owners to allow them to exceed the size of a typical accessory structure. He 318 indicated they can be exempt from the sprinkler requirement if there is no public water available and 319 no other structure within 60 feet. He noted this new development cannot meet that, so any hangars 320 over 2000 square feet will need sprinklers. He stated, however, that they cannot piggyback off that 321 and require specific colors or anything else; they would have to rely on the association to enforce 322 other requirements. 323 324 Councilmember Carlson indicated she is trying to understand if the air park association has been 325 doing a review and ensure that between their review and the building code nothing is being 326 overlooked. City Planner Smyser indicated that for now the association is saying they have to be 327 earth tones, which is vague but seems okay. He indicated if the City Council felt it necessary to put 328 other restrictions on the buildings he would need to confer with the City Attorney to determine the 329 best way to do that. 330 331 City Attorney Hawkins stated the City has the ability to enforce the covenants of the association. He 332 stated if there are standards in the convenants and the association does not enforce them, the City can. •333 City Planner Smyser indicated with that being the case, he would say the City is covered.
