Presentation
Staff: City Administrator, Michael Webb and Jackie Carlson, Director of Planning for Shafer, Kline & Warren, Inc., provided the staff report and recommended the Planning Commission consider new language regarding the accessory building setback to include 10% or a minimum of 10 feet. (See attached Item A.)
Applicant
Jim Walters, 11015 Kansas Avenue, Edwardsville KS 66111, Mr. Walters stated that he has an issue with the size of the setbacks in the current zoning ordinance. He is in favor of the Planning Commission to modify the setback from 30% to 10%. The current setbacks take 60 to 70% of your property out of commission and our fairly restrictive. They are not consistent with the development that has taken place in the neighborhood.
Chairman Jeff Martinek made a motion to close the public hearing. Commissioner Sara Worrall seconded the motion.
The motion carried 6-0.
New Business
Consider amendments to the Agricultural/Residential District (AG/R) and Rural Residential District (R-1) regarding accessory building setbacks.
Commissioner Jason Gillam made a motion to amend the Agricultural/Residential District (AG/R) and Rural Residential District (R-1) regarding accessory building setbacks to a minimum of 10 feet or 10% whichever is greater. Commissioner Dave Hackathorn seconded the motion.
The motion carried 6-0.
City Administrator, Michael Webb noted that since the Planning Commission’s recommendation to amend the Agricultural/Residential District (AG/R) and Rural Residential District (R-1) regarding accessory building setbacks does not apply to one property, but to all property in the mentioned zones the typical waiting period is not necessary. Staff will draft an ordinance for the City Council to consider at the July 26, 2010 City Council Meeting.
