Review and discussion concerning a possible amendment to improve and update the zoning ordinance (section 13.34) relative to yards and setbacks.(this was an item from the previous meeting in which chairman Thieme asked the commission to bring suggestions to the next meeting) Administrator Fowles was asked to explain, He reminded the commission of the Beautification Committees request to look at the ordinance and see if it was practical to allow landscaping that was not dependent on water through the use of non-living material. The Beautification Committee is concerned with difficulties in enforcement when there are instances where a nicely kept, well landscaped yard using non-living materials is said to be running against the ordinance relative to single family dwellings. Commissioner Shawn Higgins made a motion to have a proposed amendment prepared for a public hearing and for action at the next meeting on August 8, 2007. Commissioner Shaw made a second to the motion. The motion was passed unanimously.
