Remo Lavagnino
Charles Paterson
Also present Clayton Meyring, Building Inspector and Herb Bartel, City/County
Planner.
Meeting to discuss problems recognized by the Board of Zoning Adjustment in
carrying out the spirit, intent and criteria established under the zoning
ordinance.
Height Variances
Height Variances - Adjustment Board has difficulty in
trying to determine how far they can carry the guidelines
of the Board as relates to steep lots and dealing mainly
with multiple family dwellings i.e. visual pollution.
Robin; Molny, Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commiss-
ion arrived.
Planning and Zoning Commission stated they would take
note of this fact and in the planning stage at this time
is the process of working out guidelines on sight lines.
It was noted the City in measuring height uses the street
as the guide, whereas the County uses a reference point
of the site itself.
Question was asked if the Board of Adjustment can consider
density, congestion etc. when considering a height variance.
It was pointed out if the Board of Adjustment is concerned
about density in a certain area, this should be referred to
the Planning and Zoning Commission and this falls under the
jurisdiction of the Planning and Zoning Commission. Intent
and purpose of the zoning ordinance refers mainly to the
planning process.
Charles Collins of the Planning and Zoning Commission
arrived.
Planning and Zoning Commission informed the Board of
Adjustment an ordinance is now in the mill allowing Planned
Unit Development which may eliminate some of the problems
of the Board of Adjustment. Mr Bartel pointed out, as a
guide to the Board of Adjustment, that if there is any
obher means of accomplishing what the applicant is re-
questing other than a variance, these avenues should be
investigated first.
Discussed those areas, mainly bottom of the mountain,
that perhaps should be reviewed as relates to being un-
developable, and put into a certain zone.

Planning and Zoning Commission agreed they would study
and review the requirements as relates to height, AR zone
south of Durant etc. prior to the next construction season.
lO% Open Rear
Service Yard
lO% Open Rear Service Yard - Board of Adjustment questioned
under the intent of the oridnance is this entire area to
be set aside for trash storage.
The space required by ordinance is more than is needed.
Planning and Zoning Commission pointed out this area can
also be used for parking and deliveries. Planning and
Zoning will be reviewing this under the recodification of
the entire zoning ordinance.
Isolated Lots
Isolated Lots - Main problem is when such a lot does not
abut upon a public street but does abut upon a private
road. Mr. Bartel pointed out residential areas are not
nearly as important as an industrial site. Planning and
Zoning request the Board of Adjustment use good judgement
where residential lots are concerned to see that safety
is not impaired. A single family dwelling or duplex see
no objection to the granting of a variance.
Stream Margin
Regulation
Stream Margin Regulation - Mr. Bartel explained briefly
the stream margin regulations.
It was requested the City furnish the Board of Adjustment
all new ordinances relating to zoning.
Parking
Parking - It was pointed out presently under consideration
is the C-C and C-l a requirement for leased parking only
and small parking lots until such time as the City is able
to come up with an over all solution to the parking problem.
Chairman Molny request the Secretary amend the last study
session minutes to include under the concensus on Zolin~
the following words "and apply for annexation at this time."
There being no further business for this meeting, the
meeting adjourned at 7:05 P. M!
