wil be a icensi vehic e, and parking in a driveway only.
Zonin Code Inter retation Panel The proposal for the panel was discussed.
Present y, and technics y, the Building Inspector's interpretation cannot
be overruled except by the Board of Adjustment. It would now provide for
the concensus of three indivuals concerned, or if no agreement, it would

on file.
Mobile Homes/Manufactured Housing Zone Ordinances These ordinances and
the requirements for screening will be discussed informally at the May 3rd
informal session, and on the Council agenda at the May 11th meeting.
Colle a Hill Park area. Mayor Neuhauser called attention to the problems
encountered by persons in this area with demolition of old buildings, and
rebuilding by developers at R1A density. She suggested that Council do
what they did for the Northside people, allowing rezoning of the RIA area
to the density contemplated by the new zoning ordinance, R3. George
Woodworth, 226 S. Johnson explained concerns and pointed out that a
petition was being circulated regarding setting a moratorium, and it
would be presented at Tuesday's formal meeting. Other interested persons
were present. A moratorium is triggered by Council's setting a public hear-
ing on rezoning. Public hearing is held after receipt of P&Z's recommendation on
the rezoning request. Schmeiser thought it would be the end of the year
before the Commission and Council reviews and public hearings on the new

affected will be published.

Showalter's report in the packet noted. McDonald questioned what happen-
ed if neighborhoods change. Showalter used Elm Grove Park as an example,
it could be sold, but if there is new housing surrounding the area, it
is unlikely.. He explained how the fee per dwelling unit could be.calcu-
lated. Showalter noted need for both open space and a flat area for rec-
reational purposes. A procedure for offer of land from a developer,
review by Council, possible negotiations, etc. was suggested. Showalter
advised that two soccer fields would be constructed at the North Branch
Detention area Park. A new sketch of the present proposal will be pro-
vided. Balmer noted concerns regarding Miller Park. A small athletic
field can be placed near the Athletic Shop. Others noted concerns with
Aber Park. Council discussed if these parks would adapt to mandatory
park dedication. Parks and Recreation Comm. had asked the Planning Dept.

considerations be given at the next formal meeting.
Mobile Home/Manufa ray u x Ordinances
Boothroy explained that the screening provisions would be added to the
present screening requirements in 8.10.18, instead of Chapter 22, so
the matter should be referred back to P&Z Commission for their consider-
ation. Chapter 22 would regulate only manufactured housing parks, and
the RMH zone will regulate any manufactured housing use including
subdivisions. The requirements for screening will not be retroactive
for current parks. Perret pointed out several concerns which staff
discussed. Several persons from mobile home parks were present. They
will be informed as to when the item will be discussed by Council again.
APPOINTMENT TO RESOURCES CONSERVATION COMMISSION
Counci members agreed on the appointment of Kent Cox. Balmer asked 400-450
Council to consider the direction this Commission is going to be
taking, and which department they will be working with, after the
franchise issue is taken care of. Berlin noted that there will be
a half-time staff person, and the Commission should be working closely
with the Planning Dept.
COUNCILTIME

the current U. S. policy in E1 Salvador. Neuhauser suggested
amending the resolution. Balmer pointed out that it would open
up for any and all sorts of national issues.
2. Neuhauser suggested changing the May 25th meeting to May 18th, as
there are meetings on May 24th and 26th. Staff will check to see
if public hearings already set can be changed, and if there will
be a problem with beer and liquor permits.
3. Neuhauser stated that the E1 Salvador resolution could be at the
June 8th meeting. This meeting will have several items. Time
for discussion can be limited, and the item could be scheduled
