questioned the logic of this. Olsen replied that the buyer buys with the knowledge of the possible change in set-backs. His recourse is to the Board of Adjustment.
North asked if the definition of 11 Yard 11 in the Zoning Ordinance excluded garages from 11 yards.11 Olsen replied that it did. Further discussion indicated that eaves and air-conditioners could also be excluded from yards under the definition.
Shore asked if it were too late to do something about a Zoning Violation if it had been inexistence for some time without anyone doing anything about it. Olsen answered that it was not. He stated that limitations do not run against the City.
Raney asked if this applied to the Building Code. Olsen said that this was the same situation.
Spears asked if it had any effect if one person were allowed to violate a provision and then the City tried to enforce the provision with someone else. Olsen stated that legally this would have no effect.
Further discussion was held regarding C-1 District Regulations, Fire Zones, Sign Ordinance, Zoning Ordinance, etc. Raney summarized the priorities as being Fire Zone, Zoning Ordinance, City Building REgulations, getting Subdivision Ordinance in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance, putting in Orainance form the appropriate delegation of authority for the areas the Commission feel a need to participate in, Sign Ordinance.
Olsen will write for some ordinances from other cities, including zoning ordinances.
