The duck planning authority recommends the approval of the change in connection with the amount of the additions – the Coastland Times

With their meeting on Wednesday, April 9, the members of the duck planning board recommended the approval of a text change, which made it possible for some single -family houses to meet an existing non -compliant roof height.

The change that the approval of the city council requires applies to the structures built before July 3, 2002, provided that the encore is no more than one foot above the maximum building boundary of the zoning district.

After the board discussed different limit values ​​and measurement methods with different matches, he decided on the present unit and unanimously voted for the recommendation of the council to approved the change.

There was a much longer discussion about the filling and support wall requirements.

Walls, fences and bulk goods are currently limited to heights of up to six feet in residential areas and 10 feet in commercial environments, with the guidelines for the depth, inclination, adjacent grades and real estate lines regulated.

In realizing that Duck has a variety of topographies, the number of inquiries from the special use permits increases to request a guideline check.

The members of the planning authority discussed the more authority to enable the employees to make a few filler inquiries and at the same time search for opportunities to enable a larger latitude in order to send as little as possible for the review of the Council.

When discussing the organization of code and differences between Scots and the brackets, it was found that there was a certain need for greater flexibility, but it was also recognized that it is difficult to write guidelines in order to satisfy every potential building request.

After a long discussion, the employees received guidelines for a possible change in the code, which should be taken into account at a future meeting.

There was only a brief discussion about problems outdoors, according to which the recommendation of the city walt of Robert B. Hobbs Jr., the board, did not take any measures due to some pending laws.

However, the Board of Directors discussed the enforcement of guidelines and lighting measurement methods and the implementation of employees a public survey with comments on how detailed questions must be.
