Existing Ordinance, Public Notice
Over the past coupls of years the City has bee faced th a number
of deck variances. One of those variances wa� appealed to City
Council in late 1991. At that time the City Council asked staff to
loak into the existing ordinance and try to improve it, Building
and Planning staff agree that this portion of the zoning ordinance
is confusing and can result in multiple interpretations of its
meaning.
With the assistance of Building Inspector Paul Heimkes, the
Planning staff and Planning Commission are presenting an amendment
to clarify requirements for decks and other accessory appendages in
the zoning ordinance. For the most part, the proposed requirements
are the same as the existing ordinance or slightly less restrictive
for these types of structures. The language used to accomplish
these requirements is more straightforward and understandable than
the language in the present ordinance. This ordinance is intended
to resolve issues with existing development. An outline
summarizing the different between the proposed and existing
ordinance is attaehed.
A public hearing is required far all text amendments to the zoning
ordinance. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the
proposed amendment on September 28, 1993 .

Accessory Appendages Text A►mendment
Sumnlary of Changes.
The text amendment for decks and patios is intended to clarify
the existing ordinance.
The following changes are accomplished by the amendment:
1) Balconies, deeks and uncovered porches will be separated and
be treated differently than terraces, patias, steps and
staops. The only change is that balconies, decks and
uncovered porches can extend into front yards five fee�
instead of fif�een, and can now extend fifteen feet into a
rear yard instead of five feet. Interior side yard deck
setbaeks are reduced from ten to five feet;
2) The confusing references to "ground floor level° will be
removed and replaced with a si.mplified approach;
3) Utility easements will be protected by reference in the
amendment;
4) Front, side, street-side and rear yards are separated for
individual clarity;
5) Homeowners will now be able to embellish their properties in
the front yard with arbors, trellises and decorative
landscaping as long as visibiiity at intersections is
maintained,
6) Satellite dishes will no longer be al-lowed in front yards,
but will have less restrictions �n rear yards; and,
7) Antennas which are currently not addressed, will have
setbacks equal to their heights.
