Discuss the installation of aluminum siding at.the Zeman Talbot ' property at 1551 Palm Street. Mr. Abraham, Planning & Building Director discussed the matter of this siding and explained that this siding would cost more than would be allowed by the Building Code based on value of the building as the building is.small and quite old and also a variance was needed due to the non - conforming -side yard. Mr. Abraham stated that Mr. Talbot was asking for a variance from the zoning ordinance for the non- conforming side yard. He continued that - :after an inspection by the department, the residance at 1551 Palm Street is sub- standard in its structure and that a building permit could not be:issued. Mr. Talbot appeared before the City Council and stated that he believed the only thing that would make his shack a decent building was the application of aluminum siding to his residance, but he also stated that he did not wish the Planning Commission or City Council to give him any. more consideration than.would be given to any other citizen in the same situation. The City Council and Planning Commission discussed the problems regarding application of the siding to the Talbot residance. On motion-of-Councilman Graves, seconded by Councilman Shipsey,.the.application be denied. Motion carried. B.

After discussion by the Planning Commission and City Council, the-matter was referred to the City Planning Commission for study and recommendation of changes to the code. C. City Council and Planning Commission discussed the object of requiring the Planning Commission to study the possibility of requiring annexation fees for future annexations to the City. Councilman Graves, stated the reason for this request is so the newly annexed areas would purchase an interest in the existing capital improve - ments.of the City.. This money could then be placed in a trust fund to be used for future enlargement of the City's capital:plant. He-further stated that this annexation fee system might also restrict future annexations to the City but it might also encourage development of the undeveloped areas in the City. Matter referred to the City- Planning Commission for further study and report to the Council. ' D. Mr. Wise brought to the Council's and Planning Commission's attention the matter of interpretation or policy.decision regarding uses in the C -1 or Neighborhood Convenience Goods Land Use District.. He stated the purpose of limiting the uses in the C -1 zone was to eliminate the possibility of community or regional types shopping centers being established instead of`.:the local neighborhood service center developed to take care of the needs of residents in the immediate vicinity of the service center. Mr. Wise stated that limiting the size of the neighborhood center added strength to the central business district of the City. Mr. Wise further stated that the general plan was adopted on the basis that in addition to the strong central business district. the plan calls for 10 or 12 small neighborhood service centers. Mr. Abraham explained the need for policy guidance from the City Council in regards to the - .concept of the C -1 Neighborhood Convenience Goods Land Use District in order to limit both size and types of uses for the service center in order to protect the residential neighborhoods being served by the Service Center which will also protect the central business district. E._ Mr. Abraham, Building & Planning Director, brought to the Council and Planning Commission's attention the problem of business use in an R -1 zone, particularly at 2374 Augusta Street belonging to Billie Lee who is operating a wholesale business and warehouse at his property. Mayor Davidson reported he-talked with Mr. Lee and that Mr. Lee stated he did not know he was in violation of any ordinance and that he was presently negotiating for new location and was asking for additional time to use his home until his new warehouse was ready.

Councilman Graves suggested that possibly a new .standard for sidewalks should be considered particularly in extremely steep areas. The Planning Commission stated that they would take this under study. 2.
