Absent: Commissioner Lachenbruch. Council was represented by Councilman 'Halter A. Benson. APPROVAL OF MLYUTBS: September 25, 1967. Commissioner Dawson stated that because he was not present at the last Planning Conaaission meeting, the Amended Motion was not clear regarding the building site approval of Rudi Ligtelyn (BSA -35-67), P. 3, Para. 3. Commissioner Hibner was of the opinion the Motion should be ariended to in- clude that tae private road be brought up to maximum road standards of 16', since he was sure he had stated this Motion in accordance with the Fire Chief's recommendation and that the Motion had passed. However, Commissioner Bowler stated that at the time he voted he lid not understand the Motion to call for above the minimum width and if this were the intent of the 14otion, he would 06 withdraw his vote of approval on the Ligtelyn building site approval. Com- nissioner Bowler questioned the basis on which the higher width would be called for on service of two lots and stated the Town has a standard and wanted it known whether the standards were being challenged. City Manager pointed out that during the September 25th meeting, the Amended Motion was made without a Second to require a 16' width but in discussion was changed to read "in accordance with the recommendations of the City engineer" and so published and approved by the City Council. Commissioner Bowler stated he objects to the requirements of the Fir,_ Chief in that there are other considerations besides fire safety. Commissioner Hibner pointed out the standard specifications call for a paved width of 1^- 16' on a private road with 24' to 32' rights of way. Tire City Engineer stated the determination of a 14' or 16' width is dependent upon whether aspu:alt berms are required on the driveway. If none, then the 14' width, if berms are constructed, then 161. If a drainage problem, it would necessitate a berm and the 16' width required. Cormissioner Hibner said he would accept the recormendat ions of the City angineer, and the Motions remained uncorrected as published; however, a correction was made to the format correcting "Amended Motion" to 'Amendment to the kotion'. MOTION, SBCONDED & CARRIED: Commissioner Perkins moved; seconded by Commissioner Sherlock, and unanimwsly carried by voice vote, that the Minutas of September 25, 1967 be approved as corrected.
