So move all in favor say aye.

Aye.

Man, it's approved.

Okay.

Um Virgil, you're up first.

All right.

So the first one we got here is uh rehash.

This one was moved the rehab.

Uh table back in March.

Oh maybe I'm sorry.

Uh this is house on uh 7th Street over there.

He is continuing to make some progress.

He's got a few more shingles put on the house.

He started painting.

It's a slight improvement, but he is trying to move forward with it.

I presume it's secure.

Well, he's actually living in it.

Oh I think.

I think but uh yes.

Um I he had said when I went by today and took the pictures, he said that uh his roofer was coming out today to put some more shingles on there.

He had gotten some more shingles to install, and I said he had started painting, so it shouldn't take him long to get the painting done.

Uh I say I'm gonna recommend that we give him another 90 days and hopefully we can I can talk with him and get this thing off of our table in another 90 days.

I don't know where the head was.

What do you district?

This is 3209 7th Street, District 1.

I got two more.

These are both new.

This one here is 2646 25th Street.

This one was originally a uh voluntary combination by the owner of record, but there's some siblings that are wanting to try to save the house.

Uh these are the original pictures you're seeing here when I first took it.

Um then I'm gonna show you some pictures of what a little bit of work has been done to it.

Um supposedly they're gonna be here tonight to ask for time to so this is some of the work that's been done to the house.

You can see some siding on there, which is not installed properly.

I did talk with the lady about that, and I'm gonna have to explain to her how to install the siding properly.

Uh but they've made some minor improvements on it.

Um if they show up, uh I would I would say give them 90 days to to make some more improvements, see what they can do.

Okay.

All right, and the last one we got is 2531 26th Street.

This one's been sitting for quite some time.

I did speak with the owner on this one.

She plans to start making repairs on it.

She's supposed to be here tonight to uh present her case to you.

That's it.

That's all we've got today.

Okay.

Any questions from Virgil?

Okay, thank you.

Thank you.

Zach.

Afternoon.

So I have some uh text amendments for you guys.

It's been a little while since you last saw them, but um at admin and policy about a month ago we went through these a lot of sections here that are being amended, however, it's really just the same thing in a lot of sections.

They're all pertaining to townhouses, townhomes.

Um townhouse unit shall be less than one-third wide is as it is deep.

Uh, when we updated the code, that word lot got in there, and you know, as we've been working with developers and sit uh civil engineers, we've realized that that's just you can't do it.

It doesn't work.

It creates short fat townhouse lots.

It's just it's not lot is not meant to be there, unit is um, so we're essentially changing that word out to to fix it to go back to how it used to be.

And then some minor things like sometimes we use townhouse units, sometimes we use townhouses, so it's just kind of cleaning up the verbiage, really no regulation change there.

Go back to that.

Why would a townhouse lot be any more distorted one to three ratio than a townhouse unit would be.

Right.

So the the idea is short and fat.

Yeah, so the idea behind it is with the lot itself.

So if you have a 20-foot wide lot, you got to make it pretty deep.

And if you want to increase your your width of the lot, you know, related to your side set your side setback of seven feet on one side and things like that, you're gonna have to increase your depth.

It creates these almost almost square town homes.

When the lot when you have the unit, sorry, the unit being being not less than one third wide as it is deep, keeps it from people coming in and you know, making all these these lots that are super skinny with town homes that are super skinny on them just to get more density.

So it's really just to keep people from utilizing the townhouse, the ability to create townhouses or to develop townhouses to just maximize their density with these little shotgun style townhouse.

You could have a large apartment complex before we do it.

I mean, like an apartment building on is there any ratio that applies to lots?

No, but but the lot can be whatever the town house on right.

We do have lot width minimums and things like that that already pertain to the lot itself, as well as the setbacks.

You know, the setbacks being what 20 feet or whatever from your rear.

As you as you add those things into the development of the lot itself, it distorts the townhouse tremendously using the word lot instead of unit here.

Okay.

Um we're adding cementitious siding to primary materials, that's like that hardy board siding that you see in a lot of places.

It's very cement cementitious.

Wow.

It's very um very high quality.

A lot of people use it, it's already existing.

So and then this you can see this is the MRU district.

We have footnotes, but we don't actually have footnotes, so that was clearly missed when we updated the zoning code.

Those footnotes exist in a different you know, table in a different district, however, they were missed in this section.

So it's just adding those footnotes that should be there in the first place.

Um multifamily residential university.

Or sorry, mixed mixed residential university.

It's just a residential university, right?

So, but this is just an example of footnotes we're missing, and we're adding the footnotes in there.

So is the reason for this, I remember was there just some stuff got in the translation with all this right in the transition up, exactly.

This is all just cleaning up what we previously had, realized you know that word lot got in there and really messed up the way that you can develop town homes unintentionally.

Unanimously recommended by planning commission in June.

Um, and that's all I've got for you guys.

Okay, thank you, Zach.

Honey.
