Dir. Antonia Gerli, Senior Planner Mary Muse, Recording Secretary Mr. Skat called the worksession to order at 7:05 P.M. Schedule F: general Requirements for Buildings, Parcels, Yards, Building Setbacks and Lighting Standards. Mr. Kutz asked about the number of sheds on property limitation and reduction in the open space requirement. Ms. Gerli stated that the open space requirement in most residential areas is % and may cause some problems with never subdivisions because they have smaller lots. Mr. Marder stated that when subdivision is being developed, they are given the maximum lot coverage for drainage issues. Ms. Dennison asked what the definition of an accessory structure vas. Ms. Gerli read the definition and stated that an accessory building would not be allowed to be constructed prior to the primary residence. Mr. harder stated that if are accessory structure is Built prior to the primary residence, it could create a problem if the primary residence is never built. The city currently has this situation where someone received approval to build a gauge on a lot, without a residence, and is now doing auto repairs in it. Ms. Gerli stated that in no event shall an accessory structure be approved before the primary use established. The me mber , excluding Ms. Dennis n, agreed to leave it as it is and let the Board of Adjustment handle approvals of accessory structures. Ms. Gerli stated that she would remove the number of shed restriction. PLANNING ' AN ZONING F T COMMISSI MINT S OF JULY 25, 2002 W RKSESSI l PACE 2 Regarding the lighting standards, the table should reflect a minimum and a maximum. The board agreed to not allow wall packs facing streets or residential areas. Mr. Kutz suggested the high - pressure sodium bulb be used. Is. Gerli stated that Schedule G has been deleted entirely because Schedule ITT already covers it. Under Schedule K a section has been added to state that number of required parking spaces may be reduced if the use can demonstrate, in a parking to r prepared by a traffic engineer or traffic planner, a need which is less than required. For miscellaneous land uses, she has eliminated required spaces based on number of employees and made it based on gross floor area. There was discussion regarding recreational vehicle parking for multiple family properties. The board agreed that the RV's did not need to be screened, but other types of recreational vehicles should be screened. In order to accommodate all types of vehicles, there could be a maximum parking size requirement. Next was Schedule K, Signs. Mr. Lowell would like to have the right-of-way width determine the character of the sign, such as size and setback. Mr. Kutz would like to see a one page summary sheet for signs. Ms. Gerli stated that she could dace a summary at the front of the Schedule. Mr. Lowell also suggested adding a requirement that would require the owner to conform to the new sign regulations within 5 years unless it is a historic type sign, (like George's Bar and The Barn) then they would be allowed to ask the Commission to keep the existing sign and not change historic context. Ms. Gerli stated that the 5 -year requirement is a Code Enforcement nightmare. The 17-92 CRA has an incentive for signs that would help replace the sign if it complies with the new regulations. fir. Skat stated that the owner could be made to take the sign down if not using it and if the building were unoccupied for a certain amount o f time, the sign would have to be removed. Mr. Lowell stated that there are certain signs listed as being prohibited, such as balloons, streamers, and banners, but under temporary signs they are allowed. Mr. Skat stated that these types of signs should be treated as a special event. Mr. Garrett suggested that the campaign sign deposit should be increased. The board suggested requiring $250.00 deposit. Ms. Dennison asked if beach signs were prohibited? Ms. Gerli stated that the county has signed an agreement with a company, and the City would piggyback onto their agreement. She will add that bench signs as approved by City Commission will be allowed. There being no furth discussion, the worksession a.djourncd at 9:15 PM.
