00:07:27,050 tonight many there is another meeting so I decided to come up 17 00:08:30,720 --> 00:09:09,070 works just Karl Dennis I think he's here you guys 18 00:08:45,910 --> 00:09:12,690 thought I think I her office not that I wouldn't like goldfish 19 00:11:05,810 --> 00:11:08,810 yeah 20 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:47,110 right this s that use your microphone so I can hear you 21 00:11:48,610 --> 00:11:55,400 audience participation all right so we have a discussion around the tents 22 00:11:53,420 --> 00:12:01,100 ordinance and we are going to put that up for review this evening 23 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:06,890 - handy and say it was a case it came in front of us come month to go down we're 24 00:12:04,550 --> 00:12:13,250 trying to look at the overall ordinance for the city of Walled Lake in 25 00:12:08,570 --> 00:12:20,000 comparison to the surrounding cities you have some additional information on that 26 00:12:15,010 --> 00:12:32,840 correct yes that's correct all right basically this issue came as 27 00:12:29,300 --> 00:12:38,000 as attorneys of an area is summarized in the memo the fact that this EBA there 28 00:12:35,990 --> 00:12:44,540 have been some instances in which people are required to go receive a variance 29 00:12:41,660 --> 00:12:50,630 because they'd like to have any Sigma uniform six foot high fence for the 30 00:12:48,740 --> 00:12:58,580 property to secure their their rear yards and that need to includes the side 31 00:12:52,880 --> 00:13:04,730 yards and that usually means that our organs doesn't allow it 32 00:13:00,230 --> 00:13:09,980 our owners requires the fence to step down to four and a half feet in the side 33 00:13:06,590 --> 00:13:18,890 yards most other communities do have a uniform fence to allow for the securing 34 00:13:16,070 --> 00:13:25,240 of mainly access to that side yard if someone has a side door so that's why 35 00:13:22,610 --> 00:13:29,470 some and because it allows for the property owner to 36 00:13:27,250 --> 00:13:35,170 better function utilize theirs their property it's secure and mainly also for 37 00:13:32,770 --> 00:13:39,880 their had their pets and animals they can make sure that there they can't let 38 00:13:38,470 --> 00:13:46,870 them out and not have to worry about them video so it's it is pretty common 39 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:57,340 to have that kind of allowance for side yards okay and then what would we be 40 00:13:51,630 --> 00:14:02,800 receiving in order for us to rate that first of all the discussion then request 41 00:14:00,210 --> 00:14:10,090 came to the Planning Commission it was referred to the planning City Council is 42 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:15,850 the planners indicated that was the that the issue regarding the laki uniformity 43 00:14:13,660 --> 00:14:22,300 between the next site height in the rear and the side yard was sort of the 44 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:27,520 impetus that brought but but City Council referred the entire fan 45 00:14:24,850 --> 00:14:33,250 smartness basically to the Planning Commission to look at that issue and 46 00:14:30,660 --> 00:14:39,400 basically the entire offense ordinance and in its entirety 47 00:14:36,220 --> 00:14:46,120 areas of the ordinance that could be improved upon as well and brought up to 48 00:14:42,070 --> 00:14:51,120 date I know one of the issues that one of the council members brought up was 49 00:14:48,030 --> 00:14:57,090 under the the current defense ordinance there can be no decorative fence any 50 00:14:54,550 --> 00:15:02,200 lakefront job if there is no principle structure of 51 00:15:00,190 --> 00:15:05,860 the leaf right here and some of the some of the people head there 52 00:15:03,700 --> 00:15:13,710 if their house one side of the street then they have a lakefront access parcel 53 00:15:10,270 --> 00:15:18,280 on the other side of the street and people who have their house on the 54 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:23,650 lakefront parcel are allowed to have decorative fences whereas the people who 55 00:15:22,390 --> 00:15:29,020 have their house on the other side of the street you just have to clear the 56 00:15:26,410 --> 00:15:33,640 clear line can't have different offenses so so that issue came up for the 57 00:15:31,930 --> 00:15:38,620 Planning Commission to take a look at as well so it's pretty much a talk about a 58 00:15:36,070 --> 00:15:43,960 review on the integramouse ordinance um there may be other improvements that 59 00:15:41,620 --> 00:15:50,110 could be made upon it you know the planning consultants recommendation I 60 00:15:47,290 --> 00:15:55,630 think the next step would be for the planning consultants who either need to 61 00:15:53,740 --> 00:16:04,170 make some proposed text amendments or maybe bring back a memo or something the 62 00:15:58,300 --> 00:16:04,170 next meeting to their other areas that 63 00:16:04,250 --> 00:16:14,720 my mission to you yeah okay I appreciate in one area that has been brought to my 64 00:16:11,550 --> 00:16:19,710 attention that being requested was the to examine the ordinance and term this 65 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:24,480 is forgiven offense and the link law offenses is to look at the comparison of 66 00:16:22,140 --> 00:16:34,260 know by in terms of thought that would be called outbuilding ignore like their 67 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:38,370 quad I like storage you know buildings are you know so I'm have like 68 00:16:36,540 --> 00:16:43,350 entertainment buildings on my leg lots is to match like the know by side you 69 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:47,460 know a lot of the people probably aggressive it asks a lot of questions 70 00:16:45,260 --> 00:16:55,350 and especially when the defense conversations about those can that be 71 00:16:50,190 --> 00:16:58,620 looked at as well well the the Planning Commission is is free to make any 72 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:02,250 recommendations that it wants to the City Council regarding them any 73 00:17:00,990 --> 00:17:10,230 amendments to the zoning ordinance that's essentially how the process works 74 00:17:05,700 --> 00:17:15,870 Planning Commission does that study and then finalizes the it's process with a 75 00:17:13,830 --> 00:17:19,650 recommendation to City Council that it goes through City Council and and then 76 00:17:17,790 --> 00:17:23,670 City Council makes the final call as to whether or not to adopt the Planning 77 00:17:21,060 --> 00:17:28,260 Commission recommendation in or and part or or me to do something completely 78 00:17:25,890 --> 00:17:32,310 different so okay so like if you looked at same time and then you said that yeah 79 00:17:30,090 --> 00:17:36,750 yeah I think you could probably include that any recommendation if you've 80 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:40,890 thought about appropriate and that's to match you know so my three court the 81 00:17:38,700 --> 00:17:45,660 other side of the lake is allows that and the decorative fencing and where 82 00:17:42,980 --> 00:17:52,040 they've done correctly can mean drastic improvements to properties a lot I would 83 00:17:48,810 --> 00:17:56,210 say the tax case as well is there anything else that we want look 84 00:17:57,890 --> 00:18:13,820 you're basically saying had a court date our offense ordinance properties yeah 85 00:18:07,790 --> 00:18:19,010 yeah because there's some nice entertainment facilities around there 86 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,010 like lots like out 87 00:18:43,620 --> 00:19:09,370 comments on the picture so that means a little bit more that easy to interpret 88 00:19:06,670 --> 00:19:17,560 are there ads and wherefores a little bit easier for like we did put your 89 00:19:12,970 --> 00:19:25,810 hands in understand with yeah sounds a good idea 90 00:19:18,070 --> 00:19:29,700 alright we do have the decisions you make on the height for the walls 91 00:19:31,549 --> 00:19:44,009 any change of the variance and you have a meeting variance meeting the 24th or 92 00:19:40,159 --> 00:19:47,759 no no because you're right now the ordinance in effect is still in effect 93 00:19:46,379 --> 00:19:54,330 for yours it won't change until if if any 94 00:19:52,429 --> 00:19:57,860 potential changes are made to that ordinance it will be represented by 95 00:19:55,850 --> 00:20:04,320 Planning Commission and then it'll be considered and potentially adopted by 96 00:20:01,860 --> 00:20:08,639 council on once council adopts it after certain number of days it becomes 97 00:20:05,370 --> 00:20:12,860 effective so right now you have to still deal with the ordinance a time on the 98 00:20:10,649 --> 00:20:12,860 books 99 00:20:32,790 --> 00:20:35,960 [Music] 100 00:21:16,460 --> 00:21:19,599 [Music] 101 00:22:09,980 --> 00:22:21,150
