VISITORS: PRESENTATION: Tyler White requested the commission look at the pool ordinance and change the setbacks from the property line to be 3 feet instead of 8 feet. The City Planner did not believe this would qualify as a variant. The commission did not feel comfortable with the 3 feet without doing more research. They directed the staff to get more information to present at the next planning commission meeting (August 27, 2024). The City Planner and the Planning Commission wanted to thank Mr. White for the presentation and for asking the question before building and then not meeting the city’s ordinance. There was a brief discussion on the chicken ordinance. Commissioner Murdock asked when this will be back before the planning commission for discussion. They would like to continue working on this and get a recommendation sent to the city council so there is something on the books.
