- Downtown Parking Task Force (C. Ockert): Citizen Task force had sent

out recommendations in October 2012. Planning Commission asked for a

new parking task force. Concern about the composition of the new

committee and whether Fan-FH will be represented.

- Block 137 (Wizers) update with focus on parking (C. Ockert): Monday

6:00pm July 21st is the DRC hearing on the revised application.

· Types and numbers of parking places:

· Use of hydraulic lifts as parking spaces

· Bike parking spots are at the front of each car spot

- Transportation Systems Plan (C. Ockert):

· FAN-FH was successful in adding wording that the neighborhood

association will be heard and any changes have to be measured against the

Neighborhood Plan.

· Plans for pathways through private property have been mostly removed.

· Will come back to Council July 29th

- Edge of roadway R6 code update (C. Ockert): Where the house setbacks

are sited are currently defined by the "edge of roadway" or edge of the

pavement, which varies widely depending on width of the street. CO

and JB met with senior planner and City surveyor. Staff cannot defend

rational for the ordinance and it was agreed to drop it and use the

property line.

- Sunningdale site (C. Ockert):

· Sunningdale water tower property was approved by NRAB and PRAB approved

and recommended the property become a city park.

· Councilors Jordan and Hughes brought this forward to the council for

approval. CO contacted City Attorney for directions on how to proceed.

· Kim Stafford advised asked for meaningful dates for the Staffords.

· Need a name for the park and a date for the dedication, ask Kim?

· PRAB does not want this to be an "active" park but a "contemplative grove."

- Front Porch update :

· Per Asst. City Attorney E. Boone R-6 is different from other zones and

code does limit lot orientation choices

· Met with senior planner who supplied re-writes of the code which we

don’t need, as that would require a re-write our neighborhood plan.

· Planner says there is "no definition in the code for ‘front’"

· Further staff will list all the properties built with the mistaken

interpretation as "non-conforming"

· Board consensus is to proceed with forcing code to be correctly applied

Other: D. O’Neil brought forward Air B&B concept coming to LO and will

have implications in the neighborhood

submitted

·
