Rod Tyler, City Planner, stated that one item that came from the Goals and Objective meetings was the need for, well 'landscaped and well maintained residential districts. lair. Tyler staled that the responsi - bility of who provides and maintains landscaping needed to be clari- fie? He asked the Commissioners whether the private sector, should provide adequate landscaping or should the City have regulations to require a €rrin'f€€€um amount of landscaping on new subdivisions Commissioner Owens, stated that he felt it would be a problem to regulate hat the developer~ should provide on each individual lot and that should be between the €evelo er and the homeowner. Commissioner- Owens stated that he -felt the Commission should develop some requireR €rents on the entrances to the subdivisions, ins, Commissioner Tyson, wanted to know if FHA (Federal :sousing Administra- tion) required a minimum amount of landscaping on homes they financed. Commissioner Hill staged that BHA does require some minimum standards for financing, taut does not know the exact requirements. Rod Tyler, stated that Brooks Builders had a minimum landscaping package that is automatically rolled into the price of the house. Mr, Tyler also stated that he had suggested that the builder put in landscaped entrances and the City maintain them and this would help to keep property values up Commissioner Dei-thloff asked if a homeowner put landscaping in between the property ling: and the curb, and then the City needs 'to dig it cep for repairing a water leak, who is responsible for replacing W THEE Joe Hennig responded by saying that it was the homeowners responsibil- ity, however, anytime this occurs Public Works replaces anything that has been removed or damaged. The Commissio ners discussed the issue of requiring minimum landscaping on residential lots and how to police and enforce; it. €'.:ommissi one r„ Owens stated that he felt the Commission should require minimum requirements for entrances into the subdivisions. The Commissioners discussed the possibilities of Homeowners Associa- tions in the subdivisions to maintain landscaped entrances such as the l-railwood Addition. joe Henni.l, Assistant City Manager, summed €€p the discussion by concluding that staff needs to amend the landscaping requ-iremen't to include Single Family. Commissioner Billy Ownes recommended appointing a s€b--c:camittee to work with Pod Tyler and other .staff members on the Landscaping section of Article 4. ,doe Hennig, stated that the Multi .-Family Specific Lhse discussion in pre- session had not been concluded. My-, Tyler was recommending drat all Multi-Family been required to obtain a pecif'ic, Use Per€3riV Commissioner dill stated that he would rather the multi-family deve1- ope,rs build a nice pr,o ect instead of spending their money getting approval f or the project. lair. Hennig stated that the other side of that thinking; would be not to spend the money for approval or on the project and end up with a project that would not be acceptable. Mr, Hennig stated that staf=f would continue to work on Specific. Use requirements for Multi-Family, The Commissioners discussed staff's proposal to add a new ".Q" dis- trict, P-1 Executive and Single Family Detached, The R- 1 Cluster zoning would be smaller ler lots and the P- 1 Executive would be the larger lotww Mr. Tyler handed out proposals detailing the purpose, primary uses and district site development standards to the commissioners goner"s for their review. The general consensus on this item was to find another title for the P-1 Executive and the R-1. € l€rster- zoning need f urther~ consideration and discussion due to the complexity. Mr. Rod. Tyler~ stated that under Article 5 Parking Requirements is similar to what our current requirements are. That is each durelling unit has two car parking garages behind the building line, if the parking occurs in front of the unit, it must be a carport or garage, if it is behind the Eunit. it ?gust be a parking pad with a screen. Mr. PLANNING E FOUR JAG� Tyler, stated that the Zoning Board of Adjustments has had several cases where citizens have enclosed their garages without a periiiit and had to come before the ZBA. Mr. Tyler recompended that because of these occurrences, the parking section should to be amended to require all newly --nstructe.d. dwelling units to be built with a two car garage. If it is not newly con-- struQted then garage enclosures will be allowed unless deed restric- tion or, some restriction prohibits it. There will still he two off street parking spaces on the lot someplace, but not necessarily the garage. Mr. Tyler stated that 75% of the ZBA cases are garage enclo- sures. There was discussion among the Commissioners concerning the Off Street Parking requirements . Mr. Tyler stated that Article 5 currently does not address over sized or commercial vehicles being parked in residential zones, It was decided that staff would present additional recommendations at a later date concerning the off street parking.
