� Executive Summary of Aug. 15, 95 � , I
The City Council tabled action regarding this proposed Zoning Ordinance
Text Amendment on August 15, 1995 . The action was a result of concerns
about clarity and a lack of support for the sections regarding pipelines.
Staff has modified the attached amendment with the benefit of direction
provided by the City Council on August 15, 1995 . All references to
pipelines have been eliminated and the ordinance has been simplified in
form wherever possible to eliminate redundancies. The revisions were made
with the assistance of City Attorney Charlie LeFevere. Staff feels
confident that previous ambiguities have been eliminated as a result.
One additional change has been ma.de. The lot width increases have been
eliminated in the AG, AG-P and RR districts because of the large minimum
lot sizes.

Attachments: Draft Ordinance; Public Notice. �pproved By:
This amendment has been prepared with the objective of increasing standards for setbacks along
highways and railroads for residential and commercial uses. Recent residential development
along the south side of CSAH 42 provided an example of the current minimum requirements for
development.
This Amendment was discussed on several occasions by the Planning Commission and
recommended for approval on July 11, 1995. The amendment will increase building setbacks and
conespondingly, require increased lot sizes along highways and collector streets. The
amendment accomplishes the same along (overhead) high power transmission easements and
pipelines.
Similar amendments were recommended two years ago. They were part of a lazger package of
amendments that failed to receive enough votes for adoption. The need for the increased
standards was questioned as well as the variety of ordinances that were recommended at the time.
Maximum density reductions in the R-2 and R-3 Residential Districts have since been
accomplished via separate amendments. Also not included is the previously recommended
specific performance criteria for landscape buffer yazds.
Recommended Action: MOTION to adopt Ordinance B- , An ordinance amending
Ordinance B Section 7.2 Supplementary Yard Regulations.
