Summary

Council discussed proposed zoning changes to allow above-ground pools on adjoining vacant lots, removable sheds up to 144 sq ft on gravel bases or skids/pillars, and removing adjoining-lot setbacks; Solicitor Wachter will draft suggested ordinance language for future council review.

Council discussed proposed amendments to the zoning ordinance July 9 that would relax rules for structures on vacant adjoining lots.

Council members reviewed previously approved revisions related to Skill Games of Chance and then considered new provisions that would permit above-ground pools on adjoining vacant lots and removable sheds up to 144 square feet if placed on a gravel base or on skids or pillars. The proposal would eliminate side-yard setbacks on the adjoining property line while maintaining front-yard setback requirements. Solicitor Tim Wachter was asked to draft suggested language for an amendment to the zoning ordinance and present it to council for future consideration.

The discussion produced no formal vote at the meeting; council asked the solicitor to prepare draft language for later review and potential formal action.
