Subdivision Ordinance Review (Cont.) (Agenda Item III)
Mr. Petty stated that two areas in need of consideration in the review of the
Subdivision Ordinance are 1) Engineering; and 2) Design Standards. He requested
the opportunity for staff to work through these items before considering bring-
ing in speakers. He suggested that during the engineering and planning review
it would be appropriate to hear from people that are involved in this area. He
discussed the differences between requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance and
City policy; i.e., Kim lighting fixtures. He discussed the cost of electricity
involved in lighting the residential subdivisions with street lights being placed
every 300 feet.
Mr. Petty suggested that the first phase of the review be utilized by the Com-
missioners to become completely familiar with the Ordinance.
The Commissioners requested a listing of City policies that are being enforced at
this time. Acting Chairman Armand requested clarification from staff as to the
meaning of the codes used on page 20 of the Ordinance.
Acting Chairman Armand requested staff to address the progress on the
McDermott project (Phase 2/3 of Main Street). Mr. Petty informed the Commis-
s'
ommis-
sinners that the Shell station is in the process of condemnation, and that there
are still two other properties to be acquired. He advised that the City will be
accepting maintenance on the roadway, which will allow the 12" water main to
remain under the pavement.
Mr. Tom Keener stated that there may be a zoning item on the next agenda.
Exchange Park South is requesting retail use in the building.
