Mayor Kirk asked whether there were any questions or comments from the public. There were none.
Engineer Asmussen, was present to address any questions or concerns from the Council. Council Member Watford
stated his concern regarding drainage in the area. It was noted for the record that Engineer Asmussen responded that
there will be no problems with drainage.
Other matters of concern addressed by Council Member Markham were the connection of the streets and the number
of fire hydrants. After looking at the plans and a brief discussion, it is apparent that the proposed plan of connecting
to Southeast 9" Avenue is the best option. A seventy foot right-of-way is formatted for this connection. Mr. Tom
Murphy, was present and responded that Fire Chief Smith had requested a minimum of five fire hydrants, however,
the proposed subdivision has six. Attorney Cook stated that City Engineer Bermudez has taken care of following up
to make sure everything is in order for this plat.

Program - Nancy Phillips (Exhibit 3).
Nancy Phillips, the Grants Funding Specialist for the City, was not present to address the Council on this matter. The
Council had received a memo from Ms. Phillips stating the reason for this request is that Displays System has
withdrawn their building from participating in the Community Development Block Grant Project since the building is
not being occupied at this time, and a building must be occupied at the time of the rehabilitative process. In place
of Display Systems, Ms. Phillips has contacted Syble's Flowers and Gifts. This building has multiple tenants and the
building would be eligible to receive up to fifteen thousand dollars for rehabilitative assistance.

A. Discuss Amending Section.66-1 of the Land Development Regulations. Katrina Cook, Agency Secretary, briefly described a memo submitted by Mr. Cook explaining the
recommendation. In Mr. Cook's memo it states that he is recommending to change the definition
of a wellhead within our Land Development Regulations to match the definition within our
Comprehensive Plan. The recommended wording to be placed in the Land Development
Regulations is "The City's Land Development Regulations shall designate a protection area of
1000 feet in radius from each public potable water well as the wellfield protection zone. The first
. 300 feet radius closest to the well shall be a zone of exclusion, where no development activities
shall be permitted except that related with water supply provision." (Policy 7.5a)
In Attorney Cook's absence, there was a brief discussion between the Agency Members and City
Planning Consultant Jim LaRue regarding the proposed amendment.
There was no further Agency comments, nor any public comment.
Agency Member Maxwell motioned to make a recommendation to the City Council to amend the
definition of a wellhead protection area located within Section 66-1 of the Land Development
Regulations to match the definition of a wellhead protection area in the Comprehensive Plan, as
suggested by Attorney Cook; seconded by Agency Member Hoover.

Memo
To: Katrina Cook, General Services Coordinator
Oscar Bermudez, City Engineer
From: James G. LaRue, AICP
Date: June 1, 2005
Subject: Airi Acres Final Plat
VICES, Inc.
As stated in our memo dated April 26, 2005, the minimum footage requirements and width
requirements for the lots in Airi Acres are compliant with the Land Development code standards.
The applicants have also been granted a variance to allow a cul-de-sac in excess of 1200 feet.
However, at the City Council meeting most of the council members
the subdivision meeting drainage standards as well as tying into the
not planning related, I informed Council that these engineering relal
before Final Plat approval. Hopefully, the applicants have demonst
issues and the City Engineer can explain this to the council at the aI
Final Plat.
If you should have any questions, please call me.

A deductive change order will need to be issued to Lozano Builders in the amount of $10,500.00
to delete this building from the construction contract.
In an effort to find a replacement building, it was suggested that I contact the Main Street
organization for assistance. Main Street provided me with one potential building on the north
side of Park. However, this building was outside of the Community Redevelopment Area
boundaries and was not eligible for the CDBG funds.
Main Street also provided me with information on the Syble's Flc

to $15,000.00 for rehabilitation assistance.
