Director of Support Services Virginia Moody Councilwoman DISCUSSION Don White, from Phillip Swager and Associates, briefed the Council on the proposed schematic design of the new Fire Station 1/4, Training Center and Administrative Offices. Some concern was expressed about the utilization of the north/south road on the east side of the property. This issue was resolved and the only change in the facility will be the relocation of the proposed parking area from north of the fire station to a less visible location. As much land area as possible will be retained for future use. Access to the north/south street will be provided for in the revised site plan. RNL explained the provisions in the new Grass and Weed Ordinance as a major departure from the way we are presently doing business. The main item of discussion ASSIGNMENT Dennis/Stan Follow up Jeanette Publication Dennis Memo to Stan regarding implementation ITEM DISCUSSION was the $75.00 administrative fee for the first time notices to violators. After a lengthy discussion the City's Attorney advised that it would not be necessary to amend the ordinance but the staff was directed not to apply the $75 administrative fee for first time notifications. There would be no second warning and at the time of the next violation the $75 administrative fee would be imposed along with the mowing charge.

Councilman Newman asked how many homes could be built on the R-3 versus the R-2. Councilman Newman stated he assumed this was one of the reasons for requesting the R-3 zoning. Mr. Perkins stated the main reason for the R-3 was because of the commercial zoning that abutted it on both sides of Bursey Road and it was more advantageous to have R-3 zoning. Councilman Garvin asked what size houses would be built. Mr. Perkins replied that it would meet the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Councilman Garvin stated that recently other zoning in the area for R-2 and R-3 was approved and requirements of 1,600 square feet was placed on the R-3 and 1,800 square feet on the R-2. Councilman Garvin stated he would like to see the City be consistent and put the same restrictions on these requests.
