REPORT FROM THE PIANNING OONMTSSION: %OW Carvmissioner narhenhruch noted that at their 1/9/85 meeting the annual review of the conditional use permits for Fraront Hills Country Club and Westwind Darn had been discussed and approved. The Site Approval applica- tion for Lands of Steers, File SA #4-84 had been denied due to insufficiency of lot area. Commissioner Lachenbruch also reported on the status of the site development ordinance. It was his understanding that a draft document would be sent to the planning consultant (Connerly & Associates) after the Joint Study Session of the Planning Commission and City Council scheduled for 1/30/85. Mr. Iachenbruch referred to two major problems with the existing ordinance: 1) iters over which the ordinance has jurisdiction are limited; and 2) many projects do not have to go through the site development process. The Commission had discussed the formation of two committees: a major site development ammittee which would be made up of Planning Ccamission repre- sentatives and staff, would involve notification of the neighbors and would address projects such as swimming pools, ternnis courts, second stories, etc. The minor site develognent counuttee would be made up of staff nmbers, would not involve notification of the neighbors and would address development activies of a lesser magnitude. Mayor Allison cemented that the structure of the cammittee(s) needed to be formalized and suggested that that the carmnissioners have six-month, over- lapping terms. He also noted that the time of the site development meetings might have to be changed to facilitate scheduling. Mayor Allison requested that Council consider Item H.1a) concerning the report on obtaining funds from the Federal FSm gency Management Agency at this point in the meeting as Mr. Miller was present at the meeting. Council concurred with this request.
