Meeting Notes
Planning Commission Work Session
Thursday, January 21, 2010
Marion Conference Room
2009 Zoning Ordinance Update (Subdivision Ordinance and Zoning Map)
Chair Davis opened the work session.
Daniel Licht reviewed his January 15, 2010 memo. He stated that most of the proposed
revisions to the Subdivision Ordinance, as recommended by Engineering Department staff,
reflect current nomenclature as well as updated application submittal and environmental review
requirements. Mr. Licht pointed out a proposed revision to the Subdivision Ordinance that
would require concrete sidewalks be installed along one side of all local streets, including
cul -de -sacs, within residential plats. He stated that staff is asking for feedback from the
Planning Commission on this proposed requirement.
The Planning Commission agreed with the proposed sidewalk requirement on local through
streets, but not on cul -de -sacs. The Planning Commission made the following additional
comments:
1. On page 7 of the January 15 NAC memo, Section 10 -3 -1, the first subparagraph
labeled "K" should actually be labeled "J
2. Section 10- 4- 3.H.1, modify the sentence to read "Concrete sidewalks shall be installed
along one side of all local streets (not including cul -de- sacs)...."
3. Requested staff double check the State Statute reference of section 471.464 in Section
10- 4- 3.H.3.
4. Capitalize "Water Resources Management Plan" consistently throughout the Subdivision
Ordinance Update.
5. Section 10- 4- 11.C.1, change "grated" to "graded
6. Section 10- 5 -3.H, change "approns" to "aprons
