Resident raises enforcement and setback concerns over accessory building; council defers to mayor and planning staff
Summary
A resident urged enforcement of side-yard and accessory-building setback rules (citing sections 9-7(b) and related subsections) regarding a building and chicken enclosure; the council said enforcement lies with planning and zoning and the mayor and will bring the complaint to the mayor when present.
During public comment, a resident who identified himself as Larry raised concerns about a building and a nearby chicken enclosure he said conflicted with local setback rules. He cited code sections (9-7(b) and related subsections) and argued that accessory buildings must not be located within 30 feet of the property line adjacent to a street and described the site as on a corner lot.
Larry asked the council to enforce the ordinance. Councilmembers responded that planning and zoning handles enforcement and that they would bring the resident’s concerns to the mayor when the mayor is available. The council emphasized its legislative role and said it would discuss the matter as a full agenda item when the mayor could attend.
No enforcement action or variance was made at the meeting; councilmembers asked staff and the mayor to follow up and indicated they would review the highlighted ordinance language when the mayor is present.
