Ord. #1179 - Discussion and possible action to repeal Section 28-86.1 of the Code (Ordinance 84-60) entitled "Special Exception for Four (4) Story Structures in R-4A Zoning Districts". First Reading. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: APPROVED on first reading as amended on 4/l/85. Public Hearing was held. Mr. Henning read Temp. Ord. #1179 by title. Mr. Henning said there is a 4/l/85 revision, which was prepared at the request of V/M Massaro, in Section 5, concerning the effective date. V/M Massaro said she went to the site with the City Attorney to see what affect this would have on the three-story buildings that surround the area and it appeared that they had progressed to a point that it would not be to anyone's satisfaction to make any changes at this point. She said they are grandfathered in. Mr. Henning noted for the record that V/M Massaro is referring to the development of Lakes of Carriage Hills. C/M Stein agreed with V/M Massaro and he noted that the original Ordinance was passed first by the Planning Commission and then unanimously passed by the City Council. C/M Gottesman said the Planning Commission Denied this Ordinance on first reading and, after it was approved by the City Council on first reading, it was then approved by the Planning Commission. Mayor Kravitz opened the Public Hearing. Morris Glicksman, resident, said the original Ordinance was passed in 1973 and established a beautiful City style. He said he is in favor of this Ordinance. Vickie Beech, resident, asked Mr. Henning how many buildings in Lakes of Carriage Hills will be grandfathered in and Mr. Henning said the remainder of the site plan, 7 buildings. She asked if this would not be permitted in the future and Mr. Henning said assuming that the Ordinance is approved after second reading and the original Ordinance is repealed, before anyone could build a four-story residential 40-foot building, it would have to be zoned R-4A and he questioned whether there was any vacant R-4A property in the City presently. He said if there was property with this zoning, a Special Exception would have to be granted with a site plan approved. Phil Engelstein, resident of Lakes of Carriage Hills, asked what difference it makes whether a building has three or four stories providing it does not exceed the City's limits of 40 feet and all other requirements are met. Larry Schneider, Secretary of the Board of Directors of Lakes of Carriage Hills, asked the difference between three and four story buildings when the limit is 40-feet in height. 4/l/85 /pm Mr. Henning said if the Ordinance is approved the way it reads now, the Council is not objecting to the Lakes of Carriage Hills project. V/M Massaro said the residents of the City do not want 4 or 5-story buildings. She said no 3-story building was built to 40-feet, the tallest 3-storybuilding is 33'9". She said the 40-footstipulation is for an elevator or special use for a 3-story building. She said a 4-story building will give the City more density as well. She said the guidelines within the 4-story Ordinance were not those that were used in 3-story. C/M Gottesman said the people elected to Council recently by a large majority won because of their stand against 4-story buildings in the City. Shirley Blumfield suggested this could be put to a referendum so that the entire City could decide. Mayor Kravitz closed the public hearing with no further response. V/M Massaro MOVED to APPROVE Temp_. Ord. #1179 on first reading as revised on 4/l/85 in Section 5, "That this Ordinance shall take effect immediately upon its final approval. It shall govern development of all Four -Story buildings in R-4A zones in the City that have not received City Council approval (Special Exception or Final Site Plan) before the effective date." SECONDED by C/M Gottesman. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE 2. Temp. Ord. #1180 - Discussion and possible action to repeal Section 28-194.1 of the Code (Ordinance 84-72) entitled "Administrative Reductions to Setback and Yard Requirements". First Reading. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: APPROVED on first reading. Public Hearing was held. Mr. Henning read Temp. Ord. #1180 by title. V/M Massaro said this is a bad Ordinance because it is for self-imposed hard- ships and this should only be changed by State Law. Mayor Kravitz opened and closed the public hearing with no response. V/M Massaro MOVED APPROVAL of Temp. Ord. #1180 on first reading, SECONDED by C/M Gottesman. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE Mr. Henning said for the record that the Second Reading on these two Ordinances will be a Public Hearing held on Monday, April 15, 1985 at 5:05 P.M. in the Council Chambers of City Hall.
