ordinance.Nick Gruber moved to have the first reading in title only.Jeff Mertz second.Don
Bailey,Jr.questioned non-compliance and compliance when an addition is added to a building.
Planning Director Chad Weaver said that adding on to an existing building falls under this

buildings strove to meet the more current guidelines without burdening the building owner.That
type of compromise would continue.Roll call:Ayes:Gruber,Mertz,Bailey,Peard,Stanton.

(24)Ordinance:Approving an ordinance to amend Chapter 304,Section 304.11,Waukee

Chapter 304 when improving or maintaining buildings or site features;and to ensure that
existing non-compliance of buildings or site features decreases or remains the same (intro and
first reading)Darlene Stanton introduced the ordinance.Nick Gruber moved to have the first
reading in title only.Bill Peard second.Council member Bailey questioned whether the
comparison was of compliance or non-compliance.Staff responded by saying compliance or
non-compliance is with respect to a percentage of compliance.When improving or maintaining
a building,the improvement or maintenance cannot be less compliant than original percentage of
compliance.If the building was originally 100%compliant,maintenance or improvements
cannot result in a building that is 95%or 85%compliant.If the original building was 75%
compliant or 25%non-compliant,the improvement or maintenance cannot be less than the 75%
compliance or greater than the 25%non-compliance.Mayor Oberman raised the issue as to
whether the building was 100%compliant at the time of completion or at the time of
maintenance or improvements.The building may have been 100%compliant at the time of
completion and ten years later when the building is to be improved and after changes had been
made to the Municipal Code during the ten year period,the building is no longer 100%
coompliant;but is now 80%compliant.Which percentage is to be used?Council member
Stanton suggested strongly that the language in this ordinance be clarified before the next
reading.Other council members agreed.Roll call:Ayes:Gruber,Peard,Stanton,Bailey,Mertz.
Nays:None.Motion carried 5 -O.Mark Arentsen read the ordinance in title only.

the proposed ordinance which would limit the size ofthe facia signs.General discussion by
council members indicated that a change in the proposed sign ordinance would not be pursued at
