If it is acceptable at that point,the City Council can make a motion to adopt it at their meeting in <br /> December. <br /> Walsh stated nothing jumped out at him when he reviewed it but that it would be good to go through it <br /> one more time. <br /> Printup asked whether there are any items that Staff feels need to be further clarified. <br /> Curtis stated she is glad the City is finally addressing these things and that the new code should help <br /> people understand it better and make things easier for Staff. <br /> Walsh stated the whole goal is to get to a more logical and reasonable method of doing things. <br /> Walsh asked whether anyone from the public would like to comment on this item. <br /> Caroline Miller asked if the City is still concerned about hardcover and protecting the area lakes. <br /> Walsh noted the City Council redid the hardcover calculations a few years ago and that the City is very <br /> strict in the 0-75 foot zone. <br /> There were no further public comments. <br /> The City Council took no formal action on this item. <br /> MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br /> Dankey congratulated Mayor Walsh, Council Member Printup,and Matt Johnson for winning their <br /> elections.
