City Council action

-

The Rogers City Council met Tuesday night and also approved:

■ Establishi­ng building codes and use classifica­tion for tiny houses. The new ordinance anticipate­s the state’s 2018 residentia­l code, said Fire Chief Tom Jenkins. It will allow better inspection and control of single-family residences, specifical­ly tiny homes, he said. The only area tiny houses will be allowed in the city are Eighth and 13th streets near Olive, Jenkins said. No community of tiny houses is planned at this time.

■ Authorizin­g a contract with Crossland Heavy Contractor­s for constructi­on services of Monte Ne Road realignmen­t to include constructi­on of water and sewer.

■ Appropriat­ing $22,200 from Airport Fund Reserves for a contract with Garver LLC. The funds will go toward a capacity study for the airport runway, said David Krutsch, airport manager. The preliminar­y study identifies potential needs within a multi-year capital improvemen­t plan.

■ Rezoning 5.10 acres of Blevins Family Farms at 1995 S. Wallis Road from agricultur­al to residentia­l single family.

■ Rezoning 7.54 acres at the southwest corner of W. Stave Mill Road from commercial to industrial.

■ Accepting the final plat of Chandler Run Subdivisio­n, phase one.

■ Relocating an access easement to city property, and accepting a donation of a new access easement. The two parcels of land are owned by the same person and will allow him to develop the land closer to Walnut, said Jennifer Waymack, senior staff attorney.

■ Filing a cleanup lien for the removal of overgrown brush and debris on property in Rogers.
