Mr. Knirlberger stated he had talked with previotls Building Inspector Thurston and explained his problem. Have provided the 7 spaces of parking, put them in the front since access to the alley is not feasible in the winter time. Alley is not plowed.

Chairman Tharp reported Mr. Benninghoff was absent at the meeting when the plans were approved and also absent at this meeting. If a member is interested he should appear when the problem is discussed. Alley access is a Council matter. COMMITTEE REPORTS Service Yards - Mr. Heneghan and Mr. Hartmeister stated they had looked at different sites in town with Buiding Inspector Mahnke which they believe to be classified as service yards.

Undecided as to whether the Board should set a policy on the figuring and issuance of height variances or whether the height provisions in Title XI should be changed. Commission agreed to change the law may degrade the law, this is a problem the Board of Adjustment will have to solve themselves. ABSENTEE MEMBERS Chairman Tharp reported out of a total of 15 meetings this year, there has been 20 absences which is a considerable number. Each member has something to contribute to the meetings and if at all possible should attend if he is in town. NC? 29 - .-.. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves FORM" C.F.HOECKELB.B./lL.CO. Reg. Meeting, P & z, 5/28/68, continued. It is untrue and insulting to have one or more members absent and then read in Fridays paper that something was rammed through the Planning and Zoning because such. and such member was not at the meeting. Chairman Tharp stated he would be absent on June 11th. ADVISORS TO THE COMMISSION Attorney - Chairman Tharp reported there are occasions when an attorneys opinion is needed by the Commision. Also if it can be anticipated that a highly controversial issue is coming before the Planning and Zoning, to have an attorney attend the meeting. Commission agreed if an issue arises or an op~n~on is required, this information can be obtained after the meeting. Would be an unnecessary experlditure to have an attorney attend the meetings. Administrator Wurl reported attorneys are usually unable to give an instant opinion but if one can anticipate a problem from the agenda coming up it may be a good idea to have an attorney atterd for that reason. Commission to contact Administrator Wurl if legal assitance is needed. Planner - Chairman Tharp stated it had been called to his attention Jerry Brown's contract has expired. Feels the assitance of a Planner is necessary to the Commission. Administrator Wurl reported Mr. Brown I s contract terminates in July. T all<a d unofficially with Council, Mayor, Building Inspector and have indicated we would work with Jerry Brown on an hourly basis for the time being. Unofficial future plans are to hire a planner to work with the engineering department who would be the planner for the City and County. Would be his responsibility to make reports and plans for submission of all fasis of planning. Nothing budgeted this year for the expenditure of a planner full time. PLANS FOR REVIEW Chairman Tharp stated ther seemed to be some confusion on just what plans are required to come before the Commission for review. Mr. Whitaker feels remodeling plans need not come before the Commision, only new construction. Mr. Hartmeister stated the code requires review of remodeling also.
