Bill Beard, Assistant Director of Public Works reviewed the history of the proposal and stated it is consistent with requirements made of other businesses on Talmage Road. Mr. Clarke spoke and stated he had requested a use permit at a prior time for an addition to the existing Bottle Shop and at that time a right of way dedication was to be placed on the use permit. He objected to giving land to the City as a pre-requisite for a use permit and considered this extortion. He stated it appears that the City has no definite plans to widen Talmage. It could be years before the street is widened. He stated when street widening negotiations with the State begin is the time to deal with the right of way matter. Council pointed out the proposed dedication requirement would not in any way deprive Mr. Clarke use of the land as it pertains to ingress, egress and parking. It was also pointed out that the City will pro- vide curb, gutter and sidewalk at such time as the street is widened. Council has become more sensitive to traffic flow problems and proper arterial streets are a necessity and plans must be made to prepare for such eventuality in a way that is most equitable for all. City Manager pointed out it is important that Council determine a policy with respect to new developments from this time on. If it is determined that the City will buy right of ways, then should money be, reimbursed to those property owners who have given right of way to the City? M/S: Brannon/Hickey to require the dedication of property from Mr. Clarke as recommended by the Planning Commission and at the time Talmage Road is widened, the City will provide curb, gutter, and sidewalk. In the interim, an encroachment permit will be issued to Mr. Clarke to cross subject area. Carried by roll call vote: AYES: Hickey, Myers, Simpson, Brannon, Snyder.

Councilman Myers Will be out of town at the Jul 18th meeting. y Councilman Brannon Where do we stand on purchase of the Smith property? This will be covered in Litigation Session at the end of the meeting. Several months ago Council determined that matters within the Parking District should be passed through the Parking Advisory Commission. Has the parking variance for the Telephone- Company been calendared - - before the Parking Advisory Commission? ayor Snyder It has been brought to my attention by Planning Commission members that the Planning Comrission does not have a set of procedures. Would it be advisable to provide the Commission with a copy of Council procedures which may provide a means to shorten the length of their meetings. Each commission should set its own procedures, but if they are not effective, Council could give suggestions. Council determined the next budget hearings would be 6-21, 6-25, 6-26 at 4: 00 p.m. each date. COMMENTS FROM AUDIENCE COMMENTS FROM AUDIENCE Ted Feibusch Asked if he could attend the Liti- gation Session since he and Clyde Oakes had been a part of the nego- tiations on the Smith property. City Attorney advised Council may invite who they choose. M/S: Brannon/Hickey that inasmuch as Ted Feibusch is a member of the Parking Advisory Commission, he may participate in the Litigation Session as it relates to the Smith property. Carried unanimously. ADJOURNMENT ADJOURNMENT yor Snyder at 8: 50 p.m. to Litigation Session reconvene, and adjourn to June 21, 1979, 4: 00 p.m. HATTIE M. TILLOTSON City Clerk Roo.Mtq . 6-20-79 4
