<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />agreed and stated that the storage facility is going up on prime commercial <br />property. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hardin stated that he had three concerns: 1) the building <br />official should be aware of all requirements and should be informing <br />contractors of these; 2) enforcement of codes; and 3) the City needs some ~ <br />ordinances to require existing businesses to improve their appearance^~~-~-8 <br />Commissioner Hardin asked what the City can do to rectify existing situations~.~ <br />and structures. ~ ~ ""-' ~ c\~ ~. <br /> <br />City Administrator Hartley responded that new structures will be handled by the <br />new building official. <br /> <br />Commissioner Ippel asked how the storage facility was allowed to build. <br />Community Development Director stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission <br />and City Council approved of the request for that use and structure in that <br />location. City Administrator Hartley stated that the City Council is the <br />governing body; the EDC has to let them know if it is unhappy with their <br />decisions. Mr. Hartley continued to respond to Commissioner Hardin's concerns; <br />the City needs to survey existing buildings to determine where non-conforming <br />uses exist and then needs to review existing ordinances to determine how <br />defensible existing ordinances are. The City also needs to apply these <br />ordinances equally to all properties; the City cannot attempt to apply the <br />entire code City-wide at one time. Commissioner DeLuca asked if certain <br />requirements for site improvements could be included in the licensing process. <br />City Administrator Hartley responded that that is a good idea. Chairman <br />Greenberg noted that both the EDC and Planning and Zoning Commission should be <br />working on this and should establish a subcommittee to make recommendations on <br />this matter. <br /> <br />The Commission agreed that there should be a joint meeting of the EDC and <br />Planning and Zoning Commission in July to discuss development restrictions <br />along Highway 10 and to establish a subcommittee to review regulations <br />regarding such development. Commissioner Hardin asked that a letter be sent to <br />the City Council indicating the EDC's concerns and that they are pursuing the <br />matter with the Planning and Zoning Commission and also to request that all <br />projects should comply with City ordinances regarding building construction. <br /> <br />Case #5: Information Items <br /> <br />a.
