Councilmember Musgrove said she has concerns with the zoning administrator not being one <br /> person but rather anyone in Community Development. <br /> Councilmember Woestehoff shared that the zoning administrator is defined as the Community <br /> Development Department in Section 106-105. <br /> Councilmember Olson said this could be cleared up by replacing the word `the' with `a' when <br /> referring to the zoning administrators. <br /> Councilmember Howell asked if when someone's request is denied if they are given an <br /> informational sheet of the appeals process or if it is just verbally conveyed. <br /> Planning Manager Larson explained that they do not have a whole lot of these issues where <br /> applications are denied so they do not often go through the process of explaining the options <br /> available. <br /> Councilmember Howell shared that having some information like this would help meet some of <br /> the concerns while still maintaining the flexibility that the Planning Department needs. <br /> Councilmember Musgrove agreed. <br /> Councilmember Specht agreed as well as he has heard from many residents that this can be a <br /> confusing process. <br /> Planning Manager Larson explained that when Code Enforcement Officer Swalchick gets to a <br /> point where there is a formal written violation letter, in the letter he sends out there is a section <br /> about appealing the violation. He noted that they could take this same language and put together <br /> some information for denied applications. <br /> Mayor Kuzma asked Planning Manager Larson to put something together to be brought back to <br /> the Council for approval. <br /> Motion by Councilmember Woestehoff, seconded by Councilmember Musgrove, to introduce <br /> Ordinance #24-10 amending various sections of Chapter 106 - Zoning Code with changes to <br /> Section 106-236 as well as changing `the zoning administrator' to `a zoning administrator'. <br /> A roll call vote was performed: <br /> Councilmember Musgrove aye <br /> Councilmember Riley aye <br /> Councilmember Howell aye <br /> Councilmember Olson aye <br /> Councilmember Specht aye <br /> Councilmember Woestehoff aye <br /> Mayor Kuzma aye <br /> City Council/July 9, 2024 <br /> Page 11 of 12 <br />
