MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: 09/15/04 MEETING DATE: 09/21/04 <br /> TO: Chair Stromgren & Planning Commission Members <br /> FROM: Susan M.H. Hall, Assistant City Manager t_—_ <br /> SUBJECT: Petition by Tony Jordan, 2813 Silver Lake Road <br /> Requested Action: <br /> Tony Jordan, 2813 Silver Lake Road, has approached city staff about amending City <br /> Ordinance Section 810 to include language about native prairies being allowed. City <br /> staff has suggested he start with the Planning Commission to begin the conversation. <br /> Mr. Jordan has provided the attachments. <br /> Background: <br /> Section 810 of the City Ordinance relates to weed control (see attached). The maximum <br /> height provided in the ordinance for weeds is 6 inches (810.03). The prairie plantings <br /> that Mr. Jordan refers to are taller than the maximum height allowed. <br /> Variances can only be made to Chapter 16, the City's Zoning Code. Therefore, Mr. <br /> Jordan would need to request a text amendment to the City Ordinance. The Planning <br /> Commission will probably want to study the issue in some fashion, as has been the case <br /> with similar requests, before giving a recommendation to the City Council. <br /> Attachments: <br /> • Submission by Tony Jordan <br /> • Section 810—Sidewalks and Weed Control <br />
