Please review the memo of December 21, 1989. The Planning Commission confirmed that their intent in originally recommending a lot coverage limitation was to limit visual encroachment of structures that project above the ground. Please review the Planning Commission minutes of January 16, 1990. Planning Commission recommended that the ordinance remain as previously adopted^ with the intent that in-ground pools with no projections of fencing, structure or walls more than 6' above grade, not be considered as lot coverage. Where fencing, structure, or walls/retaining walls extend more than 6' above grade, the current ordinance would be interpreted as requiring such a pool to be included as lot coverage, because it constitutes a visual encroachment. Planning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend leaving the recently adopted accessory structure ordinance as is. Staff RecoaMiidation - staff would concur with the Planning Commission recommendation. Council Options - 1. Leave ordinance as previously adopted. 2. Direct staff to draft an amendment per the drafted language of the 12/21/89 memo. 3. Table. 4.Other.
