The council requested staff to: (1) explain <br />why the definition of driveway only pertained to private property; (2) discuss options for extending <br />the warranty period; (3) clarify length of driveway approaches; and, (4) validate the requirements <br />for homeowners to build access ramps. <br /> <br />Staff amended the driveway definition and corrected the driveway approach references in EC 7.415 <br />prior to advertising and posting the proposed ordinance for public review and comments. No <br />changes to the access ramp requirements were required. A memo was presented to the council at <br />the public hearing recommending that the proposed ordinance be modified to revise the definition <br />of warranty period and allow for extended warranty periods. The attached ordinance incorporates <br />the staff-recommended revisions presented to the council at the public hearing. The revised <br />definition of warranty period appears on page 6 of the attached ordinance and the revision allowing <br />extended warranty periods appear on page 10 of the attached ordinance. <br /> <br />The City Council held the public hearing on the proposed ordinance Monday, July 16, 2007. No <br />written testimony was received from the public and no one testified at the public hearing. <br /> <br /> <br />COUNCIL OPTIONS <br /> <br /> <br />1.Adopt the ordinance as proposed. <br /> <br />2.Direct staff on additional amendments of the ordinance. <br /> L:\CMO\2007 Council Agendas\M070813\S0708133.doc <br /> <br />
