LA22-000019 TEXT AMENDMENT RELATED TO DOCKS AND EASEMENTS FOR <br />DOCKS IN THE SEASONAL RECREATIONAL ZONING (RS) DISTRICT. THE <br />AMENDMENT CLARIFIES CURRENT REGULATION ALLOWING BIG ISLAND <br />OWNERS TO GRANT DOCK EASEMENTS FOR INTERIOR BIG ISLAND LOTS. (STAFF: <br />JEREMY BARNHART) <br /> <br />Barnhart gave a presentation noting a couple of years ago the City drafted an ordinance amendment that <br />allowed Big Island lakeshore property owners to grant an easement to interior property owners. This <br />easement for dock access is unique to Big Island and is not allowed anywhere else in the City. Today they <br />are proposing to take the Code and add it to the zoning district so the user can find it easier. They are not <br />changing practice or removing any rights, the City is just saying as it is allowed in the subdivision Code, <br />they are now allowing it in the zoning Code. <br /> <br />Chair McCutcheon opened the public hearing at 6:23 p.m. <br /> <br />Chair McCutcheon closed the public hearing at 6:23 p.m. <br /> <br />Ressler moved, Peterson seconded, to approve LA 22-000019 text amendment related to docks and <br />easements for docks in the seasonal Recreational Zoning (RS) district. VOTE: Ayes: 7, Nays 0. <br />
