Show BOTHER Wednesday, October 19, 1977 Page 3 Saddle Condos Move Step Closer The latest episode of the Saddle Hill condominiums saga proved propitious for the project's developer, as the Planning ( ommission Wednesday night agreed to alter a setback requirement blocking approval of development. As presently written, the city's zoning ordinance requires a building setback of mi feet from any public or private road. Engineer Jack Johnson, who said it would be ' impossible'' for the Saddle Sad-dle project to comply with a strict interpretation of the law, offered his own interpretation. inter-pretation. Johnson argued that public streets have a defined right-of-way. usually 50 feet, and that setbacks are measured from the edge of the right-of-way. However, he contended that since private roads, such as the ones which will access the Saddle project, have no defined right-of-way. the setbacks should be measured from the middle of the road, not the edge. The engineer admitted that his was an "arbitrary interpretation" but claimed it was "as good as anyone else's." If measured from the center cen-ter of the road, the Saddle -setbacks meet or exceed 30 feet. Commissioner Bob Wells, who successfully moved for preliminary approval of the project at the commission's last decision-making meeting, said "no interpretation" inter-pretation" was involved in his decision. "I didn't see any advantage advan-tage or disadvantage to the 30-foot setback in this case." he said. "I thought the intent was to disregard the ordinance. or-dinance. I haven't heard anything that gives merit to the 30-foot setback." City Planner Dave Preece cited the "safety aspect" of the requirement, saying it was intended to insure adequate visibility for exiting driveways. Van Martin, former city-planner city-planner and now an employe of Johnson, responded that a setback measured from the center of the road would be sufficient for spotting oncoming on-coming cars. "The 30-foot setback was inadvertently adopted." he added. "I thought it ' was a misprint." Commissioner Kurt Nelson commented. Commissioner R o y Reynolds proposed that the zoning ordinance be amended amen-ded to require a "more reasonable setback" and was supported by the rest of the commission. Reynolds said the planned unit development section of the ordinance was designed to provide "a more ecological solution" to problems faced by the developer. The 30-foot setback set-back requirement was penalizing the developer by imposing restrictions more stringent "than on any lot downtown," he added. The setback in no way affects af-fects whether it's "a good or bad project," Reynolds said. The commission instructed instruc-ted City Planner Preece to draft an amendment to the zoning ordinance, apparently apparen-tly paving the way for approval ap-proval of the 30-unit Saddle Hill condominium development, develop-ment, to be located east ot the Summit Medical Clinic.

At the regular Planning Commission meeting Tuesday, Oct. 11. LaMar Pace from Hoytsville was elected Chairman of the Summit County Planning Commission to fill the vacancy created by the fruition of out-going Chairman Chair-man Al Cooper's term on the commission. Mike Ivers was elected Vice-Chairman. Ivers was recently appointed to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of Bill MeComb. In his farewell remarks Cooper expressed ap-preciation ap-preciation to the county planning staff and his fellow commissioners for having had the opportunity of working with them. Cooper is credited for being the driving force behind the county's planning process which recently culminated in the passage of the coun ty's first zoning regulations. The former chairman who has filled two successive terms on the commission counseled the three newly appointed planning commissioners com-missioners that the greatest challenge to the job is to be consistent. "You will undoubtedly un-doubtedly see developers who are smooth in their approach ap-proach and others who are abrasive and outright rude, but yet whose plans are every bit as good as those of the more accommodating personality," remarked Cooper. "The planning commissioner's biggest responsibility," continued Cooper, "is to treat all who come before him with equality and without prejudice. Analyze the project, not the people behind it," advised Cooper. Schools Undergo Accreditation Survey P. C.
