Planning Commissioner, he has never seen an issue come before the Planning Commission on the subject. Commissioner O'Connor stated that he spoke with Jerry Iserson shortly before he left the City as Planning Director and noted that it was around 2004 that the Planning Commission stopped approving developments with wood burning fireplaces. Ms. Decker stated that the City's condition currently reads that the fireplace needs to be an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-approved wood burning fireplace. Mr. Dolan agreed there were changes to the requirements around that timeframe. Commissioner O'Connor noted that Greenbriar Homes had built a developmentwith wood-burning fireplaces, but its next development on the Bernal Property included the installation of gas-burning fireplaces. Acting Chair Olson confirmed with the Commissioners that PRZ-25, PRZ-31, PRZ-38, PRZ-39, PRZ-41, and PRZ-43 should be crossed off the list. Commissioner O'Connor noted that there were two more items on RV's (Recreational Vehicles) at the bottom of the page. Acting Chair Olson inquired why they had not been assigned a case number, and Mr. Dolan replied that the application has not been started. Commissioner Blank reiterated his frustration with dealing with sports courts and recreation vehicles. Commissioner Fox noted that the City has PUD's in the R (Residential) District where private recreational facilities are allowed to be built. She stated that the issue is how these facilities are used and whether or not ten people are allowed to play basketball ten hours a day. The Commissioners discussed whether sports courts are allowed in a straight zoned "R" district or would need approval as a conditional use. Ms. Decker described sports court as either a lawn, turf, batting cages, netting for soccer, croquette with a stick, and flatwork or concrete for basketball or tennis. She stated that these do not require a building permit unless there are very restrictive Conditions of Approval such as limitations on grading, how much area can be paved, and others. Commissioner Blank inquired if a flatworkfor a tennis court could be installed in a straight-zoned property with no CC&R's without a permit and play could occur at any time. Mr. Dolan confirmed that was correct except if an overheight fence were requested . Commissioner O'Connor clarified that the noise should not exceed certain levels. Commissioner Fox inquired what a private recreational facility was and if it was something like a private motor cross use. Mr. Dolan replied that he was not exactly sure but suggested it might pertain to something like an Elks Lodge, which is private PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, January 28, 2009 Page 7 of 10
