CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - April 18, 1979 C. SPECIAL REPORTS: (Continued) L2. Reports of Ad Hoc Committees: a) Status Report on Traffic Circulation Study. Councilman Perkins provided a brief outline of the Report before Council, commending Staff on the progressive ideas included and the inclusion of all properties affected with various alternatives offered. He then cited two Committee recommendations: (1) That this Report and suggestions be used by the Planning Commission when they consider subdivisions in the immediate area; and (2) If this Report is accepted, it should then be referred to the Planning Commission for Public Hearings to adopt a sub -area circula- tion plan to amend the General Plan and provide the Town with the framework needed for subdivisions coming into the Town as to restraints they are up against. The City Attorney then provided clarification on the procedures to be followed. Mr. Poole,Chaparral Way, commended the Report overall and offered his understanding of the progression and hearings to be held on this matter. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Councilman Nystrom, seconded by Councilman Perkins and passed by the following roll call vote (Mayor McReynolds and Councilmembers Hillestad and Proft removed themselves from discussion of this matter due to possible conflict of interest) that the City Council accept this Report for filing and referred to the Planning Commission for their use in planning the subdivision of properties in this area as well as setting a Public Hearing for consideration of a precise plan. AYES: Councilmembers Nystrom and Perkins. PRESENT: Mayor McReynolds and Councilmembers Hillestad and Proft. L Councilman Perkins, with the City Attorney's concurrence, asked that it be noted that the "sub -area circulation plan" and "precise plan" are terms that are synonymous. He then requested that Staff forward all pertinent information to the Planning Commission in order to provide for a detailed discussion of this matter which could prove to be a model for other areas in the Town. Councilwoman Hillestad requested that the fourth line on Page 3 be deleted and Council concurred with the inaccuracy of this statement. 3. Reports from the Planning Commission: None 4. Presentations from the Floor: a) Report from Bill Shine on the Library. Mr. Powell spoke to this matter as Mr. Shine had left town due to a death in the family. First, he outlined his request for a donation to provide for fountain/plaza improvements to the library which would be approximately $30,000. Mr. Powell then answered Council questions that: (1) Various civic groups had donated nearly half of the monies needed; (2) Extensive use of the library facility by Town residents had been ongoing, (3) The library would continue despite Proposition 13; (4) These improvements would create a community gathering place; and (5) All donating groups or entities would be recognized with the placement of their name in a tile used in the structure. Council consensus was to continue this matter to the next meeting so that the City Manager and City Attorney could review the request more thoroughly. D.
