Session 1856 <br />October 21,2002 <br /> <br /> 4. That a plan for construction traffic and parking be submitted and <br />approved, and <br /> 5. That all mechanical equipment and dumpsters be appropriately <br />screened. <br /> <br />The City Manager also stated that if the owner paid attention to litter control on this site, <br />the addition would be worthwhile and should be approved. <br /> <br />Mr. Wagner moved to adopt the recommendation. Mr. Lieberman seconded the motion. <br /> <br />During discussion, Ms. Welsch asked if the construction would impact the flood plain <br />behind the property. Mr. Ollendorff requested that the applicant come forward to <br />explain the plan. Mr. Tommie Horsley, the applicant, preferred to let his architect, Ms. <br />Elizabeth Pankey, speak for him. Ms Pankey stated that it had been her understanding <br />that the property was not in the Flood Plain and therefore not affected. <br /> <br />Mr. Lieberman asked Mr. Horsley if he accepted the conditions stated by the City <br />Manager. The applicant said that he had received a copy of the conditions and was in <br />full accordance with them. <br /> <br />There being no further discussion, the vote was called for and the recommendation was <br />adopted unanimously. <br /> <br />The Mayor wished the applicant success in the project; the City Manager thanked him <br />for investing in the City of University City. <br /> <br />CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 1 - PUBLIC HEARING ON SET BACK OF SINGLE <br />FAMILY DWELLINGS: <br /> <br />The City Manager then raised the issue of the Public Hearing that had been removed <br />from the Consent Calendar. He recommended approval for a Public Hearing date of <br />November 4, 2002 at 7:30 p.m. for considering the Set-Back and Height of Single <br />Family Dwellings. <br /> <br />It was moved by Mr. Wagner to set a hearing date of November 4 and seconded by Mr. <br />Lieberman. <br /> <br />Councilmember Wagner stated that some overdue corrections to the Zoning Code <br />would provide uniformity and constraint on the alignment of in-fill housing set-backs <br />from the street. He said that when there were no plant lines (and there are a few <br />neighborhoods like that), the ordinance would allow for a staggered appearance of <br />home frontage. The correction would require use of the average set-backs of the ten <br />nearest homes. <br /> <br /> <br />
