<br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove said she has concerns with the zoning administrator not being one <br />person but rather anyone in Community Development. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff shared that the zoning administrator is defined as the Community <br />Development Department in Section 106-105. <br /> <br />Councilmember Olson said this could be cleared up by replacing the word ‘the’ with ‘a’ when <br />referring to the zoning administrators. <br /> <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 /> <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 /> <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 /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove agreed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht agreed as well as he has heard from many residents that this can be a <br />confusing process. <br /> <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 /> <br />Mayor Kuzma asked Planning Manager Larson to put something together to be brought back to <br />the Council for approval. <br /> <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 /> <br />A roll call vote was performed: <br /> <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 /> <br /> <br />
