She stated <br />that dmSng the review process of this application, City Staff realized that there are no standards <br />or regulations for these appliances in City Code. City Staffhas drafted an ordinance to establish <br />some basic regulations for thesd devices. <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Director Frolik stated that in addition, there are a couple of <br />housecleaning items that are being corrected with this ordinance, both of which involve the R-1 <br />Rural Developing bulk standards. She indicated that when the R-1 Rural Developing bulk <br />standards were amended to require lot clustering, the maximum number of driveways was <br />reduced from two to one per street frontage. She stated that this is logical for all lots created <br />under-the new standards, which would be similar in size to urban lots. However, existing larger, <br />rural lots should continue to be eligible for 1 driveway per street frontage. <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Director Frolik advised that the second housecleaning item <br />also pertains to the R- 1 Rural Developing bulk standards. She indicated that earlier this year, the <br />R-I bulk standards were amended by Ordinance #05-12 to indicate that a zoning permit was <br />required fbr driveways. She stated that due to a computer glitch during that process, the R-1 <br />Rural Developing bulk standards reverted back to the old standards for lot size, width, and <br />setbacks. She indicated that this ordinance will correct the lot size, width, and setbacks for the <br />R-I Rural Developing bulk standards. <br /> <br />Public Hearing <br /> <br />Chaiq)erson Nixt opened the public hearing at 8:45 p.m. <br /> <br />Motion by Chairperson Nixt, seconded by Commissioner Brauer to close the public hearing at <br />8:45 p.m. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
