Ordinance 867 Review: Updating Language on Zoning Enforcement & Other Enforcement Activities <br />Planning Commission Report; 8-20-19 <br /> <br /> <br />Page 4 <br />(cont.) believes Option 1 provides better direction and clarity on pool standards, but <br />Option 2 is the language that was specifically identified by Council in the IMPC <br />that precipitated this portion of the ordinance. Adoption of either ordinance will <br />be an improvement to code. <br />Option 1 Review <br /> Lines 197 to 202 define what would constitute a swimming pool under these new <br />provisions. <br /> Lines 203 to 208 specifically prohibit draining pools to a storm drain or the sanitary <br />sewer, and require they can be drained to a permeable area capable of containing <br />and infiltrating the water. <br /> Lines 209 to 230 outline requirements for above ground pools with required safety <br />features being the primary focus. Failure of a property owner to maintain the <br />required safety features would be deemed a violation of the ordinance which could <br />then be enforced by the City. <br /> Lines 231 to 266 outline requirements for below ground pools, and again safety <br />features are the focus. Both fencing and certified pool covers would be acceptable <br />safety devises under Option 1. <br />Option 2 Review <br /> Lines 270 to 275 define what would constitute a swimming pool under this option <br />(same as Option 1). <br /> Lines 280 to 293 then focus on enclosures (i.e. fencing) with an exception for hot <br />tubs that are equipped with a certified safety cover. <br /> <br />Section 7 <br />(lines 294 – 317): <br /> This section would eliminate the existing loophole allowing homes on corner lots <br />to store their garbage cans on the side of the home facing a road. <br /> Lines 299 and 300 adds the language prohibiting side yard storage on the road side <br />of a corner lot. <br /> Lines 304 to 306 are relocated to subsection (5) in lines 315 & 316. <br /> <br />Section 8 <br />(lines 318 – 330): <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> This section would make one final change to existing notice language, again to <br />eliminate the need to “serve” a citizen as opposed to sending a certified letter (the <br />actual process used by the City). <br /> Lines 323 to 327 would specifically change the notice process for sidewalk issues <br />from service to certified letter. <br /> All other existing language in Chapter 25 would remain unchanged.
