The Planning Commission met in regular session with Vice Chairman Porter pre-
siding. Present are Commissioners Bowles, McMillen, St. Denis and Strother. Chair-
man Moss and Commissioner Nunes are absent. Also in attendance are Mayor Levine,
City Administrator Butch and Planning Director Gallop.
MINUTE APPROVAL
On motion of Commissioner McMillen, seconded by Commissioner Strother, and
carried, the minutes of the regular meeting of August 4, 1970 were approved as pre-
pared.
ANNEXATION REQUEST - DON P. BARBER
Director Gallop advised that Mr. Barber's request is for annexation of a parcel
of property immediately adjacent to the easterly city limits, north of Huasna Road,
and consists of approximately 12 acres. He also advised that Mr. Barber had previously
filed a pre- zoning application on this parcel of property, which was denied by the
Planning Commission. He stated that Mr. Barber had appealed the Planning Commission
denial to the City Council and that the Council took no action in either approving
or denying the request, therefore, the Planning Commission denial stands. He further
advised that if the annexation is approved, it will be annexed under the present
Zoning Ordinance as RA -B3.
After discussion by the Commission, on motion of Commissioner Strother,
seconded by Commissioner Bowles, and unanimously carried, that a recommendation be
made to the City Council approving this annexation.
DISCUSSION ON PROPOSED ORDINANCE - ABANDONED AND /OR INOPERATIVE VEHICLES
Administrator Butch advised the Commission that the proposed ordinance is very
similar to an existing ordinance the city now has, which is Ordinance 3 C.S. Director
Gallop pointed out that in comparing the two ordinances, No. 3 C.S. "Abandonment of
Accumulated Waste Materials" covers accumulation of all kinds of debris and junk,
however, it applies to private property only, and does not include public streets.
The Accumulation of Waste Materials Ordinance does not provide for the legal pro-
cedure of abating licensed vehicles. He stated that perhaps we should take the
better parts of the proposed ordinance and amend Ordinance No. 3 C.S. Administrator
Butch stated the City Attorney advised that 3 C.S. is a difficult ordinance to en-
force and this might be a good time to "beef" it up and make it more enforceable.
After discussion, the Planning Commission requested that the staff consoli-
date the two ordinances, taking the better parts of both and coming up with a workable
ordinance.
DISCUSSION ON PROPOSED ORDINANCE - HOUSE MOVING
Director Gallop indicated that the proposed ordinance is not yet completed
because there is one section to be included and he has not received the reference
material yet. He stated he felt the prefab or module houses should be exempted.
He requested that the item be held over to the next meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO APPOINT ALTERNATE STANDING COMMITTEE MEMBERS
Director Gallop pointed out that there are two standing committees, each of
which have two Commission members assigned to it, and that during the past several
months there has been some difficulty setting up Committee meetings. He suggested
that alternates be assigned to these two committees, the Architectural Review
Committee and the Lot Split Committee, to eliminate holding requests for two weeks.
Vice Chairman Porter suggested that Commissioner Bowles be assigned as alternate
to the Architectural Review Committee. Commissioner Strother moved that the
Planning Commission approve the assignment, motion seconded by Commissioner McMillen
and carried.
Vice Chairman Porter stated that Commissioner McMillen had volunteered to act
as an alternate on the Lot Split Committee. Commissioner St. Denis moved that the
Planning Commission approve the assignment, motion seconded by Commissioner Strother,
and unanimously carried.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business before the Commission, Vice Chairman Porter
adjourned the meeting at 7: P.M.
