Glenn seconded the motion, all voted aye, none opposed. Landscape Strip Jahn stated when the change was made to the zoning ordinance concerning a 7' planter strip, as a concession to the developers it was allowed that the setback could go from 25' to 2G'. The way ,, • it ended up being worded in the ordinance, it says in the residential zones the setback would be ! changed to 20'. What was intended was this would be offered to new subdivisions only, not in all areas. Because the old part of town has the 25' setback with the parking strip, a builder has taken advantage of that error and it will now allow homes to come out 5' further than anything else on the block. This needs to have the wording added that in new subdivisions only this will be allowed. Mike made a motion to make the wording change in the zoning ordinance on page 34, item 4.9, allowing only in new subdivisions that with a T planter strip the setback could be 20'. Glenn made a second to the motion, all voted aye, none apposed. Planned Residential Development A draft of the proposed PRD was reviewed. The intent is that a Planned Residential Development (PRD) be allowed in all residential zones with the exception of LDR (Low Density Residential} and that it be allowed as a conditional use.
