Jerry Jenkins indicated that the new code states that 40% can be covered by the main buildings, driveways and parking. Jerry Jenkins indicated that it needs to be put back the way it was in the old ordinance. City Secretary explained that staff was intending to make the ordinance more strict. She explained there was a situation where a property owner covered his backyard in concrete, including his easements. When this was done it created a drainage problem for his neighbor. A permit was not pulled. Discussion. Polly Dwyer moved to recommend changing the zoning requirement for maximum lot coverage from 40% by the main building to 60% by the main building, accessory buildings, driveways and parking for SF2 through SF8.
