• Chuck Frost said he had had an inquiry into putting an R.V Park at 4th S. and 5th W. He
said he told them it could go in there in a commercial zone as long as they followed the
Ordinance`: on R. V. Parks and Mobile Homes that is currently on the books.
Chuck Frost introduced Greg Newkirk from ECIPDA. He had agreed to come to the meeting and
discuss the Zoning Ordinances. Chuck told him that the City has the old zoning ordinance
and then they have the proposed ordinance that was given to us about six years ago,.when
the Master Plan for the City was adopted but we have not adopted the new zoning ordinance.
The Planning Board is trying to decide whether to revise the old one or take the new one
and re-write it to our own special needs and adopt that. He told Mr. Newkirk that the
board would appreciate any thoughts he had on this. Mr. Newkirk said the language in the
proposed ordinance was very vague, with a lack of understanding. He felt it would require
a tremendous amount of work to make 1t feasable. He feels the ordinance should be made
more clear so that any one reading it could understand ,just what is required from them.
He said that after reviewing the existing ordihance, he felt that with a number of minor
changes and some additions because of the changes in zoning laws, that it would work out
fine.
Mr. Newkirk suggested that there be an architectural review board established in connection
,with the Planning & Zoning Board.
Chuck Porter asked if ECIPDA was funded to help cities on this sort of thing. Mr. Newkirk
said they were not but that he had told the Mayor he would be glad to, on his own time, to
work with the Planning & Zoning Board on the revising of .the Ordinance, if they decided to
do this.
It was suggested that the Board ask the Mayor to appoint Mr. Newkirk a member at large of
the Planning & Zoning Board.
Chuck Porter made a motion that the board work at revising the existing ordinance and that
we ask the Mayor if Greg can be made a member at large, to assist the board in doing it.
Seconded by Bob Purrington. All Aye.
°~lr. Newkirk said he could have a rough draft for the board to look at at their next meeting.
Next meeting to be held on Nov. 28.
Chris Mix made a motion to adjourn. All Aye.
