Chair Bruce Noyes moved to close the Public Hearing I)ortion of the meeting.
Seconded by Alesia Carringer and carried by a unanimous vote.
Chair Bruce Noyes asked for an explanation for Single Family Home being
changed to Dwelling Unit.
Sheryl Bower responded with the traditional definition of Single Family there
could be people co-habiting in a home that are not family therefore Dwelling Unit
is a better definition overall.
Chris Kintner began with the fees associated with political signs not being
removed seven days after the elections. The thought is the fine should also be
included in a Resolution. A change in the Code requires three public hearings and
advertising which incur costs whereas a change in the Ordinance can be done
easily by the City Commission if there are no numbers associated.
Member Alesia Carringer asked why fees would be allowed to be waived if
someone does not remove their signs in seven days.
Chris Kintner replied an item that is established by a Resolution can be changed
by the Commission at any time.
Sheryl Bower added this was one of the requested changes by a Commissioner.
The Land Planning Agency can make recommendations if they feel the language
doesn't work.
Member Alesia Carringer responded the fine should be non-negotiable if the signs
are not picked up within the time period delegated.
