This item was not discussed further.

4. DISCUSSION ITEMS:
A. Private Street safety issues. (IVIERRH.! .)
Mayor introduces the item.
Merrill relays a conversation with Larry Sales of ACHD, and notes the safety concerns on
private streets. Discussiom Merrill would like to have the Planning and Zoning
Commission to either eliminated private streets or re-work the ordinance. Nordstrom
feels that the ordinance could be amended to provide clearer guidelines for the City to
follow. Discussion. Staff is directed to bring proposed amendments before the
Commission and Council for consideration.
B. PUD's/size of subdivisions. (MERRII.I.)
Mayor introduces the item.
Merrill states there is currently not condition for which a PUD is required. Perhaps if we
had a PUD requirement for subdivisions of a certain size, it would eliminate the "cookie
cutter" option. Discussion.
Sedlacek comments on the proposed rules for septic systems. Perhaps a meeting with
Central District Health would be good to discuss these proposed requirements, the
Planning and Zoning Commission may want to attend as well. Discussion. Perhaps
Central District Health could attend a pm-council meeting and Commissioners could
attend that. Staff is directed to schedule this item.
C. Sio_nage for bufldinga which do not have public street frontage or along oublic
pathways. (MERRI1,1 J)

regulations currently in place. Discussion.
D. Design Review oublic hearings. (MERRll J J)
Mayor introduces the item.
Merrill notes that rarely does the public attend the Design Review Board public hearings.
Discussion. Barnes notes that generally if the public has concerns they are attending
Design Review, Planning and Zoning and Council. Discussion regarding notice options.
Murray feels that those within 300' should still receive notice of meetings, but the
requirements for posting the site and publication in the newspaper could be eliminated.

good idea.
