EXPIRATION OE°'�ERMS 0� PLANNING CONIMISSIONERS
Commissioner Schultz introduced and discussed the terms of o�fice of�
Planning Commissioners, advising that he felt the terms o� four members
of a seven member board expir.�ng at the same time could create problems
with a possible complete major�ty change and he fel� t�vo terms expiring

wns made by Commissioner Schultz, seconded by Commiss�oner Talley, that
the problems that could arise by the terms of fo�+xr Commission Members ex-
piring at one time be brought to the atten�ion of the C��ty Council with

ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Mayor Wood recommended the Planning Commission give considerable
thought prior to changing existing zoning as many property owners do
not reside in the immediate area and would not be aware of the proposed
changes.
Mayor Wood also requested the staff study the City street system
and plan now where existing dead end streets may be continued in the
future nnd control the development to avoid structures being installed
in proposed right-of-ways, Some of the streets suggested for such a
study were: The Pike, Leanna Drive Woodland Drive, Farrell Road, a
connecting street between Huasna Road and the Freeway, and the area east
of Alpine Street.
