January 16, 1990
5:30 p.m.
Large Conference Room
Members present: Mayor McKinley, Fox, Buck, Dell, Brown,
Angel and Wright.
The agenda, as proposed, was approved.
Members of the Gateway Committee were introduced including
Sue Fleege, Hugh Copeland, Craig Ritland and Fedon Petrides
and Wayne Sunday.
The purpose of the discussion was to present the proposed
"H -C" Highway Corridor Overlay District which has been
developed by the Gateway Committee. The public hearing is
scheduled for the City Council at this evening's meeting.
The Gateway Committee has been working over a year to review
the relocated U.S. Highway 218 Corridor and to prepare a
long range development plan which would provide
comprehensive, yet reasonable, regulations within this
Corridor.
Don Temeyer, Planning and Development Director, stated that
the Ordinance contains three components including
landscaping requirements, sign requirements, and a design
review board. At a later date, an ordinance will be
developed addressing fencing issues, use restrictions, and
setbacks. The landscape section specifies the total lot
area in each of the zoning classifications that must be
dedicated to landscaping purposes. Parking spaces can be no
more than 30 feet from the trunk of a tree. It also
addresses parking areas and establishes a point system for
the types of plantings on each lot. The sign regulations
include maximum height, area and percentage that wall signs
can occupy on a wall area. Portable signs, signs on bus
benches, and signs painted directly on buildings will not be
allowed. Additional off premise signs will be allowed at
intervals of 750 feet. The design review board will consist
of seven members representing professionals and lay persons
who will review the project in light of ingress and egress,
drainage, set backs, parking, etc. All residential
structures and interior work would be exempt from design
review.
There was considerable discussion on Item F-3, page 3,
concerning the fiscal arrangements to assure that
landscaping would be installed. It was suggested that other
proofs of financial evidence of ability to pay be included
in the ordinance in addition to those specified. This was
agreeable to the Committee Members.
No official action was taken by the City Council.
With no further business before the Council, the meeting was
adjourned.
