Mayor Ihde led a discussion concerning proposed Ordinance No. 05-213, an Ordinance amending the Code of Ordinances of the City of Bondurant, Iowa, 2002, by adding provisions pertaining to screening requirements. Mr. John Bein, Planning and Zoning Study Committee Chair, gave an overview concerning how the Committee had reached their recommendation of the proposed Ordinance. They held lengthy discussions; visited the actual site; arranged for a public meeting to gather input from the residents; and asked City Staff to gather information from surrounding communities, as to how they address this issue. After the committee reached the decision that the Bondurant Municipal Code should remain as is, they felt that some sort of screening was necessary for aesthetic reasons and continuity. Objections from Council pertaining to the screening were the cost to the developer and the maintenance and replacement if needed, of the plantings after the homes become occupied. Council Member Cordes asked that proposed Ordinance No. 05-213, be placed on the October 03, 2005, Council Meeting Agenda for further discussion.
The following item(s) were discussed as part of Mayor Ihde’s comments:
