Council adopts revised driveway rules, adds designee language
Summary
The council suspended rules, waived readings and approved Ordinance 8-10-25 to update driveway requirements; members discussed circular-driveway interpretation and added language to allow a designee in section 2 before approving the ordinance.
The City Council approved Ordinance 8-10-25, which repeals and recreates parts of the city code concerning driveway requirements.
During discussion members clarified that, legally, a circular driveway—whether fronted on a single street or a corner lot fronting two streets—would generally be considered one driveway. Staff noted that property owners can pursue a waiver through the Plan Commission where concerns arise.
A council member asked that the ordinance be amended to add a designee in section 2; the mover amended the motion to include the designee language. The amended ordinance was approved by voice vote after suspension of the rules and waiver of readings.
The ordinance change will be codified by staff and the city attorney as provided in the packet; no immediate fiscal impact was described at the meeting.
