s • Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes of September 3, 1987 Page 2 The staff is suggesting a "standard definition" through out the ordinance be used as stated above. They feel this would cut down on any confusion that could arise from different definitions in the ordinance. Janet Graves asked if the .largest definition of a lot we have up to 6,000 sq. ft.? Mark informed her that that is simply the minimum sq. ft. required for developing single residential use. Janet then asked, what is the largest lot we define right now (square footage)? At present we only have a minimum "large lot" size. Mr. Latimer told the Commission that a "Large lot" was referred to as one (1) acre. The definition that the staff is recommending makes a more definitive term as to what a "Large lot" is. No further questions. Commission agreed to the standard definition suggested by staff. Item No. 4 - Light trucks - Mark explained that this had a typo only in the wording. The word include should be exclude. John Armstrong stated that this Was not a typo, he said it Was changed by City Council so that trucks With a 1-ton or less capacity could be included under the definition of °Light Trucks" . Item No. 5 - Section ~-100 - Certified site plans required Mark explained that at the present time we required a certified site plan for everything, except residential construction, that has a valuation of under $2500.00. The staff has received a lot of comments on this, most people feel that this is to stringent and that we really need to do something about it. What staff would like to do is to use the survey the people already have, no matter how old, unless it has been replated/subdivided, this would do away with having to have a recent certified site plan/survey. This would apply strictly to residential and not commercial. Staff would like for the Commission to go with the second option listed in the Zoning Ordinance Review text; page 3. On inground swimming pools, a certified site plan will be required in all cases, no matter the value. Option ~~2 (A) - going from $2500.00 to $8000.00 or more (B) - slab foundation containing or more sq. ft. of floor area. Tabled at present time. (C) - any building containing 1,000 or more sq. ft. of floor area. Commission agreed to changes as made.
