• urged to review the Ordinance, particularly
the definitions, the single family section and
the P&Z section. Informal imput from archi-
tects, builders and individuals building homes
would be solicited. After that information
and imput was received, the Commissioners
would meet and determine what sections, if

concept of producing "interpretive rulings" of
various fact situations which have arisen to
date and caused difficulty in the application
of the 1987 Zoning Ordinance. The Inter-
pretive Rulings would 1) identify a fact
situation and then apply the Ordinance to it,
2) be approved by Wayne Perry, the City's
Building Official, the Planning and Zoning
Commission and the Zoning Board of
• Adjustments, and 3) be available in the City
Building Official's office for distribution to
the public. The intent of the Interpretive
Rulings is to help clarify certain provisions
of the 1987 Zoning Ordinance which have proven
difficult for the public to apply to various
fact situations. The Commissioners agreed to
propose various fact situations for inclusion
within the Interpretive Rulings. Commissioner
Wilson agreed to contact the various officials
involved to get their feelings on this
concept.
