ITEM 9 Planning Director Daryl Morey presented proposed zoning and subdivision ordinance amendments related to residential buffer yards. He explained that in an effort to address one of the goals of the City's 2005 Strategic Plan, the Planning Commission and staff are recommending. approval of the ordinance amendments. The proposed buffer yard modifications will result in larger lots .and increased building setbacks adjacent to arterial streets and, in some instances, major collector streets. The increased lot width, lot depth, and principal building setbacks are necessary to achieve adequate side and rear yard drainage and usable yard space, given the existing buffer yard berming and landscaping requirements for major collector and. arterial streets. The amendments propose separate lot and setback requirements for major collector and arterial streets, similar to the separate berming and landscaping height requirements in the current ordinance. In addition, the ordinance amendments will require developers to submit a certified grading plan of the buffer yard berm for staff review prior to installation of the buffer yard landscaping so that corrections to berm height can be made more .easily. Twenty-two residential development firms were invited to provide input regarding these. proposed amendments at a Planning Commission work session and public hearing. Written. and/or verbal comments were provided by five of the 22 developers. The Planning Commission, which held four work sessions to review- and discuss the proposed buffer yard modifications, has unanimously recommended approval Mr. Morey presented a proposed modification to the wording on page 5 of the zoning ordinance amendment related to berm height. This modification is being requested by the Planning and Engineering Departments. Mr. Knutson informed the Council that the summary ordinances require a 4/5 vote of the City Council; therefore, the summary ordinances will need to be tabled until the next regular Council meeting. 06.07 Motion was made and seconded to adopt Ordinance No. 798 amending Title 10 (Subdivision) of the Lakeville City Code related to residential buffer yards and Ordinance No. 799 amending Title 11 (Zoning) of the Lakeville City Code related to residential buffer yards; and to table CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 17, 2006 Page S adoption of the summary ordinances for publication until the February 6, 2006 City Council meeting.
