City Council Regular Meeting Minutes November 12, 2019 Page 2 1 A. Ordinance 2019-11 an Ordinance Amending Chapter 152 Zoning by Adding Definitions 2 and Requirements for Walkways, Patios, and Sidewalks. 3 4 Vice Chair Westrick reviewed the ordinance with the Council and indicated that staff is 5 recommending approval as submitted. 6 7 Councilmember Jenson explained what he liked about the diagram is that it specifies for 8 walkways. People can build a walkway along the side of the house but need to leave some 9 permeable area, one foot to the property line so water runoff will not go onto the neighboring 10 yard most of the time. 11 12 Vice Chair Westrick indicated the one foot would also allow for a fence to be built between the 13 properties as well. 14 15 Councilmember Stille thanked Vice Chair Westrick for the presentation and felt this added 16 something to the Code that was missing. 17 18 Mayor Faust thought one of the issues was this was started last April, or May and it took awhile 19 to get this refined to meet everyone's satisfaction and have it easily definable for the lay person 20 to understand it. He thanked the Planning Commission for many hours of conversation and 21 deliberation to get to this end point. 22 23 Motion by Councilmember Stille, seconded by Councilmember Gray, to approve third reading 24 and adopt Ordinance 2019-11; an Ordinance Amending Chapter 152 by Adding Definitions and 25 Requirements for Walkways, Patios, and Sidewalks. 26 27 Motion carried 5-0. 28 29 VI.

This is a great way to bring the family out 46 and hear great music.
