THE TOWN OF MOUNTAIN VIEW TOWN COUNCIL SPECIAL SESSION CALLED TO ORDER

Mayor Levy called the special meeting to order.

PUBLIC HEARING - ORDINANCE NO. 2018-01-02, AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 16 AND CHAPTER 17 OF THE MOUNTAIN VIEW MUNICIPAL CODE BY REDUCING THE MINIMUM LOT SIZE FOR SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCES AND ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS LOCATED IN RESIDENTIAL ZONE DISTRICTS

Levy turned the meeting over to Mr. Chuck Reid to introduce the item.

Reid gave a brief overview of the reason for the code changes, the magic of geographic systems and google mapping, there are number of non-conforming status and don't comply with the zoning, thus leading to the ordinance to hear tonight.

Travis Reynolds, LSL Planning, introduced himself and his colleague. He gave a power point presentation (get a copy from him as it has the information he presented verbally and visually).

106 parcels at 48% non-conforming lots, affecting financing, insurance, etc. no changes to the setbacks.

Levy asked for public comment:

Shannon Diamond, 4152 Benton, asked question. Reynolds noted two changes 2001 and 2007, 6250 no wiggle room with that minimum lot size and is difficult to deal with.

Patricia Lilliston, 4336 Eaton, had a few comments. She understood about conforming lots and was in a bit of wonderment about the 4-5 lots, are they aware, and do you anticipate waiting to build a structure, and to note that parking is an issue.

Discussion included: various lot sizes; overhauling complete land zoning; fix zoning now and review later; parking concerns; property owner notifications.

Levy read his statement into the record.

Mitcham expressed ambivalence via a special meeting. The urgency before council as the first item, makes her uncomfortable. The town is not experiencing that urgency and would have liked on the first meeting and not a special meeting. She agrees it is a good step to take and see that the land development code on the agenda more comprehensive way in the future both residential and commercial.

Ellsworth noted the ten percent adjustment with 5,500 so why not take it to the baseline at 4,950 instead.

Reynolds stated it would only be four (4) additional lots.

Councilmember Mitcham motion and Councilmember Richardson seconded. All Aye. The motion passed.
