Council meeting. In response to Ambrisco, Moen explained the Zoning
Ordinance is being modified to distinguish between two special
exceptions that are commonly granted by the Board of Adjustment: 1)
special exception to evaluate a particular use is appropriate in

Zoning member Scott voted "no." Moen stated Scott had a particular
concern regarding the effect of the requirement to demonstrate unique
circumstances on yard modifications in older neighborhoods.

residential zones. The accessory apartments would be subordinate in
size to the main dwelling unit in the house, and the units must be
occupied by either an elderly person 62 years of age or older, or a
handicapped individual. In response to Dixon, Moen stated that
Planning and Zoning member Clark voted "no" because he felt the
ordinance amendment may act as a blanket zoning change to enable
duplex units in certain residential zones and Planning and Zoning
member Dierks wants to preserve single family atmosphere in the
residential zones.

moen explained the Planning and Zoning Commission made a recommenda-
tion that no parking signs be placed on the turnaround of Cambria
Court. In response to Courtney, Moen said the Planning and Zoning
Commission did not consider the parking on the other streets on the
other side of Willow Creek Park when considering the parking on the

area. Moen stated the Planning and Zoning Commissionuis recommending
that any effort to facilitate turning movement on Highway 1 north of
I-80 be supported. Ambrisco asked if the need for a light was
considered. Moen stated the issue of lighting was not addressed.
Atkins stated lighting was considered during preparation of the
preliminary RISE application.
CDBG PROGRAM RECOMMENDATIONS
Reel 87-C49, Side 2
Kubby presented information regarding the CDBG program recommendations.
Kubby noted the program administration budget is 510400 less this year
than the previous year.
Regarding the Benton Street culvert project, Kubby explained that if
$50,000 is not available after funding CCN's reduced funding recommenda-
tion, $20,200 should be put into rehabilitation funds and the remaining
balance into the contingency fund. Kubby noted that CCN wants to know by
July 1, 1988, if the Benton Street project is going to occur and that CCN
recommends that if the project is to occur, the money be spent by April
1989. Atkins stated City staff is currently reviewing the CIP and the
Benton Street bridge, street,and drainage projects are being prepared as
one project. Kubby said CCN is assuming that some of the Benton Street
project will be funded by the CIP monies.
Kubby stated CCN will present Council with formal recommendations regard-
ing lighting on Linn Street.

Courtney asked for an explanation regarding the use of the consultant for
low income home ownership assistance program. Milkman explained
additional expertise is needed to find out where the specific problems are
in getting loans for lower income persons and in developing the loan
programs. Atkins stated the most difficulty will be in developing
standards and requirements for individual participation in the programs.
Courtney stated the restrooms in the City Park should be funded. Kubby
stated CCN members agreed on the project but not on the source of funding.
Kubby stated because City Park is used by such a large population, that
CDBG funds for the City Park restrooms would not be the most appropriate
use of those monies. In response to Ambrisco, Kubby stated Mayor's Youth
Program did not have the capabilities to build the type of restrooms
needed.
Milkman stated that Housing Rehabilitation Program will be revised to
include human service agencies who have residential homes.
Milkman stated the final CDBG program statement will be presented to
Council at their next formal Council meeting for final action. The
program statements needs to be sent in by December 1. Milkman noted the
final statement will include a change showing a $245,000 budget for the
Benton Street project because the project, as originally approved, would
be cancelled and the funds carried over to this year.
REVIEW PENDING LIST Reel 87-C49, Side 2
Atkins and Helling reviewed items on the pending list as follows:
Leasing of Airport Land for Commercial Use and Airport Funding Issues.
Atkins stated these items will be scheduled for discussion during the
budget sessions. Atkins noted he has received a report outlining the land
around the airport available for development.
Stormwater Management Ordinance Review. Atkins stated he received
correspondence from the home builders group, has met with City staff to
discuss the stormwater management issue, and will present Council with
suggestions in the next few weeks.
East Side Storm Drainage Improvements. Atkins stated this issue will be
discussed during the upcoming CIP sessions.
o Waste -to -Energy Study. Melling stated the waste -to -energy study was
updated recently and there is a capital project on the CIP list that
relates to this item. Helling assured Council this item will be reviewed
periodically.
Mesouakie Park Development and Name Change. Helling stated input from
interested citizens has not yet been received and recommended item be
removed from the pending list.
