BOOK 95 F,1u 7. Update of Chapter 912 SR 60 Setback Allowance. This proposal merely updates a section of 912 that parallels a section in 911.15(5)(c) regarding the SR 60 special building setback provisions. Reference: PSAC meeting summary: 12/15/94 (attachment #3, p. 5). Planning and Zoning Commission meeting minutes (attachment #7). 8. Open Space Calculation for Agricultural Properties with Manmade Water Bodies. On project sites, the current LDRs limit the amount of required open space that can be satisfied by water bodies. This limitation is intended to ensure that a sufficient amount of green area is provided on multi -family and commercial sites. The limitation, however, has not proved practical for mining projects in agricultural districts where open space requirements range from 60% - 80% and where significant portions of a site are, by the nature of mining operations, covered by manmade lakes. The proposed amendment allows for an alternate open space calculation for agriculturally zoned properties, whereby open water area could simply be excluded from a site's open space calculation. Examples: Under current LDRs, A-1 zoned site Under proposed LDRs, A-1 zoned open space is calculated as follows: site open space is calculated by alternative method as follows: Gross site: 100 acres Gross site: 100 acres Lake area: 65 acres Lake Area: 65 acres Impervious improvements: 5 acres Impervious improvements: 5 acres Open space required: 60% of gross Open space required: 60% of area = 60 acres non -lake area = 21 acres Open space provided =non -lake area Open space = 35 acres (non - open space + lake area open space: lake area) - 5 acres = 30 acres •Non -lake area open space: 100 acres - which exceeds the requirement 65 acres - 5 acres = 30 acres Lake area open space: 30% of 60 acres = 18 acres *TOTAL: 30 acres + 18 acres = 48 acres, which is 12 acres short of the requirement In staff's opinion, these changes would provide a more logical alternative for certain agriculturally zoned properties that consist largely of manmade lakes.

According to two real estate professionals on the PSAC, the current LDR restriction on the hours an "open house" sign can be displayed does not realistically reflect the fact that some open house traffic usually occurs in the early evening hours. Currently, the LDRs restrict "open house" sign display to the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. In staff's opinion, these signs should be allowed to be displayed in the early evening hours and should match the hours that model homes are allowed to be open for display. Therefore, the draft proposes changing the "open house" sign display hours. The new hours will be: 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. These are the same hours that model homes are allowed to be open for display.
