City Secretary Kim Sutter presented the item to the City Council, and advised that the
proposed ordinance would amend Chapter 84 "Unified Development Code", of the Code of
Ordinances regarding political signs. The amendments are proposed due to recent
legislative changes (House Bill 259) which prohibit a city that owns a building used as a
polling location from restricting electioneering while voting is taking place. The Bill permits
entities that own or control a public building that is being used as a polling location to enact
reasonable regulations concerning the time, place, and manner of electioneering. The
ordinance would require signs to be removed from the polling site within twenty-four (24)
hours after the close of the polls; posting, use or distribution only in designated locations that
are approved by the City Council; and signs shall not be larger than six (6) square feet (2' x
3') and must be attached to a stake driven into the ground well clear of tree roots, irrigation
lines and any other underground vegetation or structures that could be damaged by such a
stake. Each supporting stake(s) must not exceed a nine (9) gauge diameter (American Wire
Gauge standard). Additionally, she stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission held a
public hearing at their October 1, 2013, and recommended approval of the amendments by a
vote of 6-0.
Mayor Saleh asked to hear from any proponents or opponents of the case. There being
none, Mayor Saleh closed the public hearing at 7:31 p.m.
Council Member Eilenfeldt motioned to approve the first and final reading of Ordinance No.
2012, amending Chapter 84 "Unified Development Code", of the Code of Ordinances, by

and Requirements", Subsection (68) "Political Signs", by providing for the placement of
political signs on public property in certain circumstances.

Development (PD). Bloomfield Homes intends:to construct a twenty-six (26) lot single-family

13-02-PD AND APPROVED FIRST AND FINAL READING OF
ORDINANCE NO. 2009
Mayor Saleh opened the public hearing at 7:44 p.m.
Director of Planning and Economic Development Collins presented the case to the City
Council. He advised that the applicant, Mr. Mike Nawar, representing Silver Bay Group, is
requesting approval to change the zoning on 1.544 acres located at the northeast corner of
South Main Street and East Whitener Road from Single-Family Attached Dwelling District
(R-1A) into Planned Development (PD). He advised that Silver Bay Group proposes to
develop an eight (8) lot single-family detached subdivision. The proposed planned
development zoning district will establish enhanced, unique design standards for the project.
The current zoning of this property would allow the construction of townhomes, which could
be built at a density of nine (9) units to the acre. The Planning and Zoning Commission.
provided feedback to the developer concerning the construction of two story homes which
may back up to the existing single-story homes to the east of the proposed subdivision. The
applicant accepted a condition placed on the four east lots that the homes constructed there
would be limited to single story, which is reflected in the design standards of the ordinance.

Council Minutes Page 11 of 13 October 8, 2013
Jim Dewey, Engineer, JDJR Engineers & Consultants, Inc., expressed his appreciation to
the City Council for their consideration and city staff for their assistance through the
development process.
Council Member Porterfield inquired if the developer would consider masonry fencing on the
north side of the residential development since it abuts commercial development.
Mr. Dewey stated that there would be an increase in the cost to install a masonry fence, and
that the requirement for masonry fencing separating commercial and residential
development is typically required from the commercial user. The commercial development
to the north has been in existence for several years; therefore, they proposed a cedar fence
which is above the standard fencing.
Council Member Bynum extended his appreciation to the developer for proposing single
story homes to accommodate the existing abutting residents, and for choosing to build in the
southern part of the City.
