February 20, 2006 - Regular Meeting Page 513 Ms. Sifford responded to questions about the status of continued Federal funding for the Community Development Block Grant program. (G-2) Zoning Text Amendment [C2006-0l(ZT)] Side Yard Setbacks in Conventional Subdivisions in the Countryside Residential Zoning District Kassie Goodson, Planner, presented petition 2006-01(ZT) to change side yard setbacks and reviewed the Planning Staff report recommending approval. She stated the Zoning Text Amendment was in response to a citizen's request to build an attached garage onto his home in the Cessna Springs subdivision. This property was rezoned from Medium Density Residential to Countryside Residential (CR) during the mass rezoning in 2005. The CR zoning requires a side yard setback of 20 feet on either side with no flexibility. The proposed amendment would change the side yard setbacks to 10 feet single and 40 feet total. The Planning and Zoning Board unanimously recommended approval of the text amendment at its meeting January 19, 2006. Ms. Goodson and Susie Zakraisek, Planning and Zoning Manager, responded to questions. They advised that there would be a minimum of 20 feet between two houses and that would be sufficient for a fire truck. At 10 :48 p.m., Chairman Carruth opened the public hearing on petition 2006-01 (ZT) regarding side yard setbacks. The Public Hearing Notice was published in THE INDEPENDENT TRIBUNE on February 6 and 19, 2006. There was no one present to address the Board, and Chairman Carruth closed the public hearing.
