NEW BUSINESS
1.) Zoning Code Review - Accessory Structures in Front Yards
2.) Luther Parker Cemetery
1.) Zoning Code Review
Alderman Wolfe requests a review of ordinance on structures placed in front yards.
Home owner spoke to her concerns that residents don't have any restrictions as to what they
put in their front yard. People are putting unsightly sheds with junk all around them in the front
yards, boats and trailers. Would like the City to enforce or put into place an ordinance not
allowing structures and junk in front yards.
Director Muenkel stated the ordinance does allow for detached structures but must be within
set back area. Permits are required and must meet architectural requirements. Temporary
structures also need to get approval.
Director Muenkel proposed that Aldermen view neighborhoods and consider options for
meeting next month.
Consensus was to review the ordinance and discuss at meeting next month.
2.) Luther Parker Cemetery
Tom Zagar recapped the documents distributed and the history of the Luther Parker Cemetery
maintainance. Lead the discussion on the current concerns with the Cemetery.
Consensus is to leave the Cemetery as it is.
