- 6 - 1 The hearing was closed at 9:50 p.m. (estimated) 2 3 Motion by Commissioner Bowerman and seconded by Commissioner Hansen to 4 recommend to the City Council that they permit Ken Heibel to construct the 5 8 foot fence with an open rafter attachment to his house, as he had proposed, 6 on his property at 3341 Skycroft Circle, recognizing that a two foot variance 7 to the Fence Ordinance requirements would be necessary, but also recommending 8 that the approval be made contingent upon the rafters being not less than 24 9 inches on center and that they never be covered in such a manner as to constitute 10 a roof or shelter. 11 12 Motion carried unanimously. 13 14 The Commission members gave conceptual approval to the request from Mike 15 McGinn, 4021 Fordham Drive, that he be able to split the 124.5 X 295.9 foot 16 lot at 4017 Fordham Drive he had just purchased into two single family lots 17 each 62.25 X 295.9 feet, even though the frontages would be less than the 75 18 feet required by the Zoning Ordinance. They based their decision on the 19 precedent which had been set for other 62 foot wide lots in the same area as 20 pointed out i.n the May 11 memorandum from Mr. Childs; on the type of homes which 21 would be built and on the fact that no one in the neighborhood had opposed the 22 project when Mr. McGinn had canvassed the neighborhood. 23 24 Commissioner Jones indicated because of the past history of vandalism and 25 problems which resulted in the City police being called to the Equinox 26 Apartment complexes oftener than normal , he was recommending the City Ordinance 27 be modified to require double stalled garages for any future apartment complex 28 garage construction-. The amendment was tailored to give the' City the right to 29 demand that the Equinox garages be rebuilt in a manner which would provide 30 greater security and cut down on the number of police calls which the Commissioner 31 believes ar.e.a result of having four stalls between each fire wall . 32 33 Mot ion by Commissioner Jones and seconded by Commissioner Bowerman to request 34 the City Ordinance be modified to permit only two stalls per partition.in 35 apartment complexes because of the problems the City has had in the past with 36 open spaced garages. 37 38 Motion carried unanimously. 39 40 The Manager gave an updtate on the tornado damage and the City's actions since 41 that time. He said a reasonable time would have to be given persons whose homes 42 were damaged to clean up their property but eventually the City would have to 43 enforce the ordinances. He said the City is no longer picking up refuse from 44 the streets- and it is now the home owners or contractors responsibility to do so. 45 The Manager.. indicated he would be meeting with the greenhouse owners the next day 46 to find out what they intend to do with their properties. 47 48 The possible redevelopment of the Walbon properties; the criteria set for the 49 City getting Small Business Administration low interest for the -under-insured 50 home and business owners, and Craig Morris' sign were all touched on lightly. 51 • 52 Motion by Commissioner Bowerman and seconded by Commissioner Hansen to adjourn 53 the meeting at 10:12 p.m. 54 55 Motion carried unanimously.
