Planning Manager Larson explained that a common way to do this is to take a can of spray paint and spray the number on the side of the plywood or house wrap. He added that some homebuilders will put a post near the street which would also be acceptable. Mayor Kuzma asked if there was a consensus to change the residential requirements. Councilmember Musgrove said yes, especially with already established homes. Community Development Director Hanson explained that the reason this is in the Code as it is adopted as part of the Building Code as well and is a requirement. Councilmember Howell asked where currently existing homes fall in this. Planning Manager Larson stated that the Building Code only addresses things at the time of construction. He noted that if an older home decided to do some redecorating and got a decorative post or something similar, as long as it is visible from the street, they would meet the intent of the other provision and the City would be fine with it. Councilmember Howell noted that she does see validity in her original comments. She stated she would like to see them not be so restrictive if there is a way to work with this. Mayor Kuzma asked if it is possible that they can reword this. Community Development Director Hanson shared they can talk to the Building Department and see where there is wiggle room for this.
