Commissioner Rude indicated that he had a number of comments for consideration, and the Commission tabled action to allow those comments to be addressed in a follow up draft for review at the upcoming January 2022 Planning Commission meeting. Those comments are addressed in the attached updated version, primarily focusing on the swimming pool and dumpster portions of the proposed ordinance. We have highlighted the newer text in red bold to distinguish it from the prior existing and proposed text so Commissioners are able to see the updated changes. Staff appreciates the additional review, and believes that the update will result in a more readable and usable ordinance, the goal of making these changes in the first place. We would note one change suggested by Commissioner Rude that is not included in the proposed text, but which was highlighted as something for consideration. This relates to Flexible Dumpsters in Paragraph (6) of Section 9 on the last page of the ordinance draft. The comment relates to the duration of these smaller dumpsters, and a more restrictive time allowance as compared to the larger solid dumpsters. The purpose of the proposed language is based on the Code Enforcement Official’s concerns that once these flexible dumpsters fill up, they should be removed as their nature often results in an inability to contain the refuse, and that they collect water that can create a problem when it leaches out, among other issues. The Code Enforcement Official suggested that in his experience, he has not seen similar problems for the hard-sided structures.
