He explained that, due to the trend to utilize higher elevations of land, the, problems existent, and the problem,of providing a continuous road system from the low to high areas, he was directed, along with the City Engineer, to make a study of the physical characteristics of the Central Drive neighborhood, And to develop an adequate through road pattern for the area. -' Mr. Barrett reviewed the report in its eat�rety.. The report is on file., and copies are available.

The Manager replied that copies are available for the Planning Commission; that the general public may purchase copies at $2.00 per copy. Mayor Henley announced that it is the intention of the Council to have the Planning Commission study the report and to hold public hearings. ACTION: That the Council accept Mr. Barrett's .report, and the planning Commission be directed to .agenda the report for study; that the.Council take the report under advisement. MOTION: Davey; SECOND: Fowle; Councilman Aiken stated that he would like to make asubstitute motion, but: upon the suggestion of the Mayor, decided to first hear comments from the Floor. - Mr. David Jansson,commented on the formula for slope development. Councilman Aiken made the following statement: .!'This report contains little or no discussion about the subject matter --traffic flow. .There is no dis cussion of other streets. The report states that Central Drive is through road. It has not been so since,. at least 1947. The report recommends that Central Drive be athrough road, but states (page 24) that use of Central Drive should not be encouraged. I note that three (3) pages out of a total of twenty-four (24) are devoted to selling clusters! This is not called for --even the report itself indicates clusters need have no bearing on average density. I find that this report does not directly relate to the subject, to the matter of traffic flow, and that parte, of the report are ambiguous. and inaccurate. I move a substitute .motion that ,thisreport be rejected." .. 1 1 -3-
