-10- ® 1 2. There were no expressions of opposition to the proposal either before or 2 during the June 17th hearing; and 3 4 3. Essentially, this addition can be perceived to be an improvement of the 5 existing property. 6 7 In recommending approval of the permit, the Planning Commission also recommends 8 that al.l previous permits and variances reported in City minutes from June 1983 9 to June 1984 related to improvement of this property be rescinded and the con- 10 struction be governed only by the action the Council takes at their June 24, 11 1986 meeting. 12 13 Motion carried unanimously. 14 15—The meeting -was recessed from 9:15. P.M.- to 9:210 P.M. when the hearing was opened 16 to consider the proposed Zero -Lot Line Ordinance, which the Manager had developed 17 as directed by the Commission during their May 20th .meeting . The proposed amend- 18 ment of the City Ordinance would provide for a twin home classification, i .e. , 19 zero side lot line and would allow the split ownership of current and future 20 side-by-side duplexes after certain criteria are met and the City approvals are 21 properly received. 22 23 The notice of the hearing had been published .in the June 4th Bulletin. Commissioner 24 Jones indicated he perceived the use of the.word "duplex" in the notice might be 25 somewhat misleading because to him that word had -always denoted a double 26 occupancy "up-and-down".rather than "side-by-side" . Commissioner Bowerman said 27 he perceived adding the "side-by-side" clarified the meaning. There were no other 28 objections to the notice content. 29 30, Mr. Childs indicated the proposed amendment had been principally developed from 31 the Brooklyn Park ordinance with some portions of the Coon Rapids ordinance added. 32 He said he had added "d" as one of the Condit ions under Section 5 . The wording 33 of that section- was modified- at- Commissioner Bowerman's suggestion to read "No 34 fence or shrubbery divider may be installed or maintained within the required 35 front yard" . Commissioner Jones said he could accept the change since it would 36 probably not prevent an island being developed in the middle of driveways with 37 too large expansions . 38 } 39 The Commissioners agreed with the Manager' s suggestion that the model Declaration 40 of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions could be offered as a sample of a 41 document which would be acceptable to the City with any additions their attorneys 42 might make. There was no one else present to provide further input to the develop- 43 ment of either document and the hearing was closed at 9:30 P.M. 44 45 Motion by Commissioner Bowerman and seconded by Commissioner Jones to recommend 46 the Council hold hearings on the proposed Zero Lot Line Ordinance with the pro- 47 posed change in wording in (d) under Section 5 and to adopt the sample of a 48 Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions for distribution to those 49 seeking that zoning classification. 50 51 Motion carried unanimously. t 52 � 53 Motion by Commissioner Madden and seconded by Commissioner Bowerman to adjourn the 54 meeting at 9:33 P.M. 55 56 Motion carried unanimously.
