REGARDING SIDE AND REAR SETBACKS FOR A LOT WITH MULTIPLE PRINCIPAL
BUILDINGS
Given its second reading;
MOTION BY ALDERMAN O’BRIEN FOR INDEFINITE POSTPONEMENT OF O-17-029
ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Cookson
How does the city planning board provide a favorable recommendation and the committee sees indefinite
postponement as the solution to this piece of legislation?
Alderman Clemons
| would have not have supported it. | felt it was too restricted. It was also pointed out by some people in the
public comment that it might make for some existing lots to be non-conforming and would present problems for
future development of those lots. In my opinion, it’s too restrictive. There could have been a lot of unintended
consequences so for that reason | will be supporting indefinite postponement.
Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja
It came back from planning board with a favorable recommendation, but based on some input we received at
our next meeting during public comment and discussing it, as Alderman Clemons said, some of the items that
were brought before us were discussed and reconsidered. If seemed if something was going to be done we
should probably think it through again.
Alderman Moriarty
| voted against the indefinite postponement, and | am going to vote against indefinite postponement tonight
because | don’t mind the additional restrictions. | kind of want them.
MOTION CARRIED
Ordinance O-17-029 declared indefinitely postponed.
