2. Approval of the January 27, 2026 meeting minutes.
Bartoshevich motioned to approve the minutes, seconded by Haslam. All in favor.
3. Discussion of municipal zoning code amendments for regulations pertaining to:
a. Lot and building regulations for height and setbacks
Lang presented the commission with visual handouts explaining that current
height rules rely on several calculations and layers of contextual language,
making them hard for contractors and residents to interpret when determining the
allowable height of new accessory buildings. If these standards are streamlined
it would reduce the amount of staff time spent explaining the code prior to
submittal and during project review. One example is where a property owner
wanted to build storage over his garage and the garage height would then be
higher than the primary structure on the parcel. Haslam stated he would not
support a proposal or change allowing a garage to exceed
