TO: <br />FROM: <br />DATE: <br />SUBJECT: <br />Planning Commission Members <br />Alan Olson, City Planner <br />November 10, 1982 <br />Proposed Island Zoning Ordinance <br />Cr,t.nc1i <br />·::>:hitJ1"!.: J <br />PLEASE REFER TO THE DRAFT ORDINANCE COPY PROVIDED WITH YOUR <br />OCTOBER 18, 1982 AGENDA. (Jeanne will have a couple extra copies <br />at the meeting) <br />The City Council anticipates adoption of this ordinance, with any <br />changes necessary, at their November 22, 1982 meeting. PLANNING <br />COMMISSION HAS BEEN ASKED TO MAKE ANY AND ALL COMMENTS INCLUDING A <br />FORMAL RECOMMENDATION at your November 15, 1982 meeting. <br />Planning Commission reviewed this draft ordinance on October 18, <br />1982.

At the same time, it will better protect the City <br />against unsuitable over-development of the larger properties. Even <br />the Veteran's Camp representative supported the changes in this <br />ordinance. <br />Mr. Roy Ahern questioned the effect of the ordinance on his property. <br />He had been hoping to build two units on his 2½ acre property instead <br />of one. His is one of many identified lots of record divided by platted <br />undeveloped rights of way. He has now met with me to discuss the <br />effects in detail. It is my feeling that this ordinance does not <br />change his existing buildability rights under the two-acre zoning. <br />It only clarifies in writing the current policy and restrictions; however, <br />he has been advised to put his concerns in writing for the record. <br />I have also told him that I believe his proper eourse of action is to
