PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - 9/18/79
The developer was asked if he had any comments on building two 12-unit
apartment buildings as opposed to one 24-unit building. He stated he
would prefer only one 24-unit building since construction costs would be
higher for two 12-unit buildings.
After discussing the subject, and with the approval of the developer, a
motion was made by Fred Topel and seconded by Ed Schaffer to recommend
approval of a 24-unit apartment building on Parcel "B" of the proposed
building project.
voting in favor: Fred Topel, Jim Ridgeway, Ed Schaffer, Dick Martie.
Opposed: Dave Bauer
3. Public Hearing on Ordinance Amendment to Adopt Recently Revised Federal
Regulations regarding the National Flood Insurance Program.
In order to continue its eligibility in the National Flood Insurance
Program, the City of Monticello must adopt Flood Plain Regulations which have
to be revised to contain certain criteria. By continuing its eligibility
in the National Flood Plain Insurance Program, residents of Monticello
have the opportunity to obtain flood insurance for their homes and busi-
nesses.
It should be noted that our current ordinance on Flood plain Districts
is being proposed to be completely deleted since the new regulation covers
the same area along with the revisions promulgated by the National Flood
Insurance Program. As with all zoning ordinance amendments, a public
hearing is necessary before the Planning Commission.
There was some concern about this regulation being retro-active, but
it was pointed out that the ordinance would apply only to future develOp-
ment.
Motion was made by Dave Bauer, seconded by Fred Topel and unanimously
carried to recommend adoption of this revised ordinance.
g adjourned.
