order at 7:30 P.M. and that members spent five minutes mopping their brow
because it was raining outside.
May 14, 1985 MINUTES APPROVED
Upon a motion by Mr. Sanders and second by Mr. Brooklyn the minutes of the
regular meeting held May 14, 1985 were unanimously approved as written.
Chairman Breeze advised that the tentative meeting referred to in the last
paragraph of Subdivision Regulations Comments on page two was not held because
the city attorney agreed with board's interpretation regarding when a parcel
becomes a parcel, therefore a meeting was not necessary.
SUBDIVISIONS
•
Building Official Thomas explained that both the following items on the agenda
came into his office as building plans and the city attorney determined that
both should be treated as subdivisions.
ORANGE TREE CINEMA
Mr. Nathan Dykgraaf presented new preliminary site plans and other pertinent
information for Orange Tree Cinema to be located on Maguire Road. Discussion
followed during which concern was expressed for drainage as well as possible future
ownership without dedicated right -of -way. Mr. Sanders moved to recommend
conceptual approval of the preliminary plan with reservations regarding drainage
and lack of dedicated right -of -way. Mr. Brooklyn seconded and vote was unanimous
in favor.
GENEVA MANOR
Mr. Allen Ackers presented a preliminary site plan for Geneva Manor Lots 1 & 2.
City Building Official Thomas advised that staff has no problem with plan other
than drainage which may have been resolved before meeting time. Board questioned
the need for retention pond when there is a moat across the property. It was
determined that as it was private property they had been directed to include
retention ponds. Mr. Sanders moved to recommend conceptual approval of the
preliminary plan. Mr. Brooklyn seconded and vote was unanimous in favor.
CITY MANAGER COMMENTS
City Manager Griffin had no comments other than to thank everyone for coming
out in the rain.

BUILDING OFFICIAL COMMENTS
Building Official Thomas advised that there is a problem with Section 7
of Zoning Ordinance reference setback requirements and recommended a change
to measure the minimum setback from the right -of -way rather than middle of road.
Mr. Thomas requested the change be made immediately even though the zoning
ordinance is to be re- written soon,as the enforcing of the section as it is
written is not in the best interest of the city. Mr. Brooklyn moved to recommend
approval for Mr. Thomas' requested change. Mr. Smith seconded and vote was
Brooklyn, Lande, Sanders, Smith yea, and Colella nay. Motion carried.
CITY PLANNER COMMENTS
City Planner Wagner presented board with copies of new subdivision ordinance.
Mr. Wagner advised that City Attorney Kruppenbacher's determination regarding
subdivision is that any property recorded prior to adoption of subdivision
ordinance,even if it had been technically illegally split according to this
ordinance, would be accepted as properly done. Current maps were obtained from
county for future reference.
Mr. Wagner advised that the State Growth Management Plan has changes that will
affect the Planning and Zoning Board in that the board will no longer deal with
planning but rather with land development regulation and duties will be more
technical. The new plan calls for a new comprehensive plan to be drawn up named
Local Government Comprehensive Planning & Land Development Regulation Act, which
must be prepared and submitted by December 1989.
Mr. Wagner further advised that, among other changes, the requirement for a
planning board and board of adjustment has been deleted, and the zoning ordinance,
subdivision ordinance, etc. as well as the 2 year moratorium on rezoning placed
by county, have been repealed, effective October 1, 1985.
Chairman Breeze asked that members be sent copies of the above referenced law.
TIMELY SUBMISSION OF MINUTES
In response to a memo regarding the timely submission of minutes, Chairman
Breeze advised that the forms used in the past for annexation and zoning
petitions have the recommendations of the board recorded for the commission
to refer to, but that the minutes are not legal until they are approved and
he would still prefer that only approved minutes be made available. A way
to approve minutes more quickly was not determined at this meeting.
ADJOURNMENT
Upon a motion by Mr. Smith and second by Mr. Sanders, meeting adjourned at
9:05 P.M. by unanimous vote.
