Private Streets/Private Drives
Lake shore setback

Nuisance Ordinance
Staff has met with the city attorney regarding noise complaints. There
are an increasing number of complaints that we are unable to resolve.
While planning department does not enforce this chapter, noise is
discussed in Chapter 20. The city attorney has drafted an ordinance.
If the amendments are just to chapter 13 the amendment may go straight
to the city council. (attached)
Design Standards
Staff has been working with the city council in trying to modify design
standards. Several discussions have been held and there seems to be a
consensus to a 50-75 percent brick or better requirement. It was left
with the staff to take pictures of other community. When an ordinance
is presented it will go the city council via the planning commission.
Lakeshore Landscaping
Consider an ordinance that would require landscaping on
lakeshorc lots.
Existing Neighborhood Standards
Consider an ordinance that would require an average lot size, and
building height based on existing neighborhoods.
Presbyterian Homes
They are looking at possible 160 assisted and independent
living rental units at villages on the ponds. The site is just
west of the church.
Fertilizer Ordinance
Create an ordinance that limits or prohibits the use of phosphorous.
