COblMISSION BUSINESS (CONTINUED) Case #6: Review Amendmenls To Ti~e Cilv Code. Zoning And Subdivision Ordinances: Mr. Banw~u'i stated that City Staff is proposing an ordinance amendmem that would require a much greater level of detail to be included on certificates of survey to avoid costly difficulties encountered in the past as a result of improper placement of buildings and structures on lots. Motion by Commissioner Deemer and sev, onded by Commissioner Hendriksen to recommend that City Council mnend the ordinance to require the additional information proposed by City Staff on certificates of survey. Further Discussion: Commissioner Hendriksen stated that additional information proposed to be required will be costly to provide; this proposed ordinance amendment should not apply to building permit applications for additions to existing structures or in situations where it is clearly evident that the proposed construction is not encroaching on property lines. Mr. Banwart stated that the information proposed to be required is necessary to well laid out lot plats; intrinsically, lots crea:ed by metes and bounds subdivisions are problems and the additional information proposed to be provided will address some of those problems. Commissioner Deemer noted that the proposed ordinance is intended to document eveo, thing that is on a property, no: just property lines; certificates of survey do not cost a lot of money. Chaim-mn Zimn-_erman stated that he feels far too much additional information is proposed to be included on certificates of survey, lxe. Banwart stated that without the infom~ation proposed to be required, it is onerous on the City to determine the proposed building site is suitable; it should be onerous on the property owner to prove to the City that the building site is suitable. The Commission discussed the possibility of refining the proposed ordinance amendment to require short and long form certificates.of survey to address pre-existing and new cosntraction.
