Public Hearing: #1, Opened at 6:00 p.m. and closed at 6:15 p.m. with public
comments
Rezoning / RZ091825-01 / Parcel #23-1.0-02-1-000-026.010 / 0.96 +/- acres.
1. Dennis Huff, this subdivision changed zoning from R2 to R1, six or seven
years ago to stop the rental properties and now you’re wanting to rezone it
back to Duplexes and Multi-family. We currently have problems with our
storm water and sewer run off. How can we add additional multifamily homes
to this area?
2. 2. Hannah Spaar, I don’t have a problem with R2, duplexes. But do have
concerns with R3- multi-family. Eight and Mason Street is extremely narrow
and dark. There has been a light put in recently however. The intersection has
some blind spots and that’s concerning.
3. David Bresnak, I do not want a house back there, we are concerned with crime
in the area if rental properties are allowed in this area. I already have concerns
wit the property because it’s not been maintained well at all.
4. Janel Levy, I agree with what everyone has commented before me. This
property would be ok for single family or a duplex, but there is not enough
room for a multi-family addition. The entrance is only maybe 50 feet wide, the
streets are narrow, not the entrance you would want to consider for a multi-
family location.
Public Hearing #2, Opened at 6:15 p.m. and closed at 6:21 p.m. with public
comments
Amend Chapter 50 / Accessory Uses and Structures
1. Steve Lockhart, there is only one wood stove in town and its mine that I
know of. I have had this wood burning boiler since 2009, the city
granted a permit to put it in to heat my story and half home. I feel I’m
being discriminated again for trying to do what I think is best to heat my
home. I also have a problem with the request to not allow me to upgrade
with a more effect boiler in the future.
2. Mike McGee, I find it inappropriate to say that a person can’t have a
wood boiler stove in city limits. I realize that some folks have medical
issues with the air quality and that’s unfortunate. I checked with a
neighbor that works with DNR and he didn’t see any statues that could
back this request, that a person would need to have to stop using a wood
burn boiler.

Lot Split Information
The purpose of this section is to allow a lot to be divided into no more than two tracts without
requiring a replat, while still permitting the issuance of building permits.
To request approval for a lot split, the property owner must apply through the Community
Development Coordinator. The application must include four copies of a scale drawing, the legal
description of the lots being created, the location and details of any structures on the lot, and the
name, signature, and seal of the licensed engineer or registered land surveyor who prepared
the drawing.
A lot split cannot be approved if:
It requires a new street, alley, or other public improvements.
It involves vacating streets, alleys, setback lines, access control, or easements.
It creates significant increases in service demands (such as utilities, schools, traffic
control, or streets) or interferes with maintaining current service levels.
It fails to meet right-of-way or easement requirements.
It results in a tract without direct access to a public street.
It creates a substandard-sized lot.
The lot has already been split previously under this chapter.
The planning and zoning commission has 45 days to review an application. Within that time, the
commission must ratify, deny, or continue the application for cause. If no action is taken within
45 days, the lot split is automatically deemed approved. Any approval must also be formally
endorsed in the format required by the board of aldermen.
A filing fee of $100.00 must accompany each application. No building permit will be issued for
any lot that has been divided unless the split has been approved in accordance with these
provisions.
Residential Lots
1. Lot width (front of property):
• Must be at least 70 feet wide at the front building line.
• Must touch (abutt) the street by at least 35 feet.
• Corner lots must be at least 80 feet wide at the front building line.
2. Lot shape:
• Side lot lines should run at right angles (or radiate) from the street, when
possible.
3. Lot depth (front to back):
• Must be at least 120 feet deep.
4. Lot area (size):
이 Regular lots must be at least 8,400 square feet.
• Corner lots must be at least 9,600 square feet.
5. Lots with septic systems:
• If septic tanks or individual sewage systems are used, the lot size must be large
enough to meet the requirements shown by a percolation test done by an
engineer.
o In these cases, the lot must also be at least 100 feet wide at the front building
line.
Commercial & Industrial Lots
Lots are not required for subdivisions zoned commercial or industrial.
If lots are created, they must be sized and arranged to allow for adequate off-street
parking and loading for the intended use.
Special Lot Types
Double frontage or reverse frontage lots (lots that face two streets, front and back)
should generally be avoided.
They may be allowed if needed to:
oSeparate homes from busy roads, or
o Deal with tough topography or orientation issues.
If used:
이 A 10-foot planting screen easement (landscape buffer) must be provided where
the lot borders the busy street or use that needs screening.
• No driveways or access are allowed across this planting screen easement.
