ment of his filing plans with the City Eggineer's office and that these plans

submitted three years ago as related to the parking and moving of buildings.
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. Wish approval on the foundation
permit, building will be built at a later date consisting of living
quarters and office.

since they are incomplete - building is not shown. Seconded by Tache.
Roll call vote - Whitaker aye; Hartmeister aye; Barnard aye; Tache aye;
Heneghan aye; Tharp aye.
Roger Mahnke reported Councilman Benninghoff called in regards to the
Commission's approval of the shed for the Nugget Lodge. Concerned as to the
street and alley access.
Mahnke also reported the Nugget made an agreement with the City in 1958 that
the alley would be open for emergency vehicles only.
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.
Commission agreed a definition would have to be drafted before enforcement
could be rendered. Contact Jerry Brown on a definition.
Subdivison Regulations - Mr. Whitaker reported he had discussed revisions
with Leon Wurl, City Administrator and Att9rney Tam Scott. Had left all
information with Administrator Wurl. Commission to contact Administrator
Wurl or Attorney Scott as to this information.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT REPORT
Mr. Whitaker reported the Board of Adjustment is having quite a few
variances on heights. 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

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.
Hartmeister made a motion that the Commission review all plans requiring
a building permit in the AR-l, AR-2, C-l and C-2 zones. Seconded by
Heneghan. Roll call vote - Hartmeister aye; Heneghan aye; Tache aye;
