PUBLIC HEARINGS:
The commission considered proposed ordinance amending city Code Section 18.08.040 (B)
changing the minimum front yard setback in an R -2 zone from the current 20 feet to 25 feet.
Anderson opened the public hearing, seeing no public comment the public hearing was closed
and brought back to the commission for discussion and vote. Buttars commented that he isn't
sure if his home has a 25'set -back. His home is on a cul -de -sac and they built their home as
close to the road as possible for a larger back yard. Buttars is not opposed to the changes in the
city code; he said he was making a general comment.
Burch wanted clarification that this change is not retroactive. The set -back changes would be
from the beginning of development, vacant R -2 lots will have a 25' set -back. Holmes confirmed
the changes would be to newly platted lots, not lots already platted.
Anderson asks for a motion to recommend to the city council whether to change the city code
or not. Kinghorn recommended approval of the ordinance to change the front yard setback in
R2 from 20' to 25'. Horner seconded.
