Howdy!
Go here to see tomorrow's agenda and here to see tomorrow's packet.
Points of interest for tomorrow's meeting:
1. Public hearing for the amending some planning and zoning rules - Bill 2459. Check out the packet to read the bill. If you want to better understand the changes in this bill, you can compare the bill to the existing code which can be found online here. When the page opens click on the folder labeled "Ozark" on the left hand side of the page. Then click "TITLE IV. LAND USE". Then "CHAPTER 405: ZONING REGULATIONS". Then you can compare the current sections 405.770, 405.785, and 410.226 to the changes to those sections lined out in the bill.
If you have questions about these changes, tomorrow is the time to bring them up.
2. Budget Amendments. This will be the first reading of the budget amendment bill and the only chance you will have to speak on this if you so choose. I would suggest you read the ammended budget that is provided in the packet and come to the meeting with any questions or suggestions you have.
3. 3 bills 2456, 2457, and 2458 aproving the use of stimulus funds for 3 projects. These bills will come to a vote tomorrow.
It's TREMENDOUS that Ozark's Code Enforcement is working in concert with the Council to more clearly define what standards will be allowed in our community! I know the vast majority of residents in our association don't want their property values to decline. Sadly, though, there are always those in any neighborhood who feel that rules should not apply to them. Such homeowners show disrespect to their neighbors in a variety of ways.
ReplyDelete- Parking commercial trailers or RVs in front of their homes, making it extremely difficult for others to pull in to their own driveways
- Allowing trash and debris to pile up
- Not mowing their yards or maintaining their properties
- Allowing their pets to roam the streets
As a result, it's critical that parameters are established on how to maintain our properties.
Everyone I've met in the City's Code Enforcement office are professional and courteous. They've come alongside and helped us whenever we've had questions or a property owner ignored our request for compliance. Their input helps us avoid civil action.
After listening to Don speak at last night's council meeting, I urge the entire Ozark City Council to partner with his crew by addressing certain areas where [code] clarification is needed. With your continued strong support, the Codes Division can continue their outstanding service for everyone in Ozark.
Many thanks,
