Hr. Whitaker, Secretary for the Connnission was asked to read the proposed Sub- division Regulation. Mr. Whitaker read the regulation in its entirety. Mrs. Goodnough asked if there were not fairly stiff requirmments for survey markers on both front and back of lots. Mr. 1iIhitaker said he felt these requirements necessary and of a nature what they should never need to be replaced. He felt also that they would probably be less expensive thana total survey each time measurements were needed. Mrs. Goodnough asked how they arrived at an Be foot width for streets. She felt this to be excessive. Mr. Walls explained that this wasnot just street width but was the entire width of the right of wa:y, which would include sidewalks etc. Question was asked, how do secondary streets and minor streets differ. Mr. Walls explained that anything up to 600 feet would be a secondary street. anything under 600 feet would only include four or so homes and would be considered a minor street. Mr. Anthony asked if any septic tank regulations had been approved. Mr. Walls explained that only that it must be acceptable by the Colorado Department of Public Health standard which is set out in that section of the regulation. Mr. Thurston explained about the Septic Tank Specifications as published by the U. S. Department of Public Health. He hoped that it would become a departmental policy to adopt the",if not in fact then by policy. When asked if there were many places in the city where these subdivision regulations would apply Mr. vlalls answered that there were actually very few but it is necessary to have these regulations before the new imporvement district can come into effect. Mr. Roy asked if subdivisions outside the city to be annexed to the city wonld have to come up to these standards before being annexed. Mr. Walls expalined that nothing in the regulations could be retroactive. Mr. Dunaway asked if subdividers who want to be annexed to the city must comply. Mr. Walls explained that this would depend on whether improvements had already been started and also that the Coup.ty is also considering these regulations for adoption, but that they would have to be discussed with the County Commissioners and The County Planning and Zoning Commission. Question was asked about tiein-g in with City streets. Mr. Whitaker explained that this ,;as also covered under streets in the regulations. When asked if these regulations would extend beyond the City limits Hr. WaIls read from the Colorado Planning and Zoning statutes that these regulations could be carried as far as three miles out from the City however he hoped that the County Planning Commission would also adopt these same regulations with ;the necessary variations, and that they would be able to work togjlther on all subdivisions. Rob Roy asked if the Connnission thought the County would cooperate with the City Planning Commission. Mr. Walls answered yes, he felt that after the discussions they have had with ;the County Planning Commission th at they will adopt these regulations with certain variations of course. Mr. Ken Hoore asked if the annexation of certain subdivisions and lodges would effect their liquor licenses. Mr. Walls explained that this was not a problem for the Planning and Zoni!lg Commission but rather for the County and The City Council.

If there is no extreme opposition offered he hopes that the Commission will adopt the regulations in fact. He explained that the regulations would need to be published the necessary number of times consecutively before becoming lawful and put into pamphlet form for public information. The will then be processed as a City Ordinance and become a part of City Ordinances. The commission will have no authority until this procedure is completed. Mr. Hoore asked if Condiminiums would come under subdivision regulations. 111'. Walls anSlier. no. Hr. Dunaway asked if tests of subdivision regulations had ben met by any subllivioon around town. Mr. vlalls answered by saying that in certain respects they would conform because they had minimum setback requirements, water and sewer regulations and 6000 foot building area regulations as already imposed, However it was unlikely that they would meet all of the regulations requirements. Mr. Hoore asked if the City would annex substandard subdivisions. Mr. Walls explained that he did not know since the Planning Commission has no control over annexation. Hr. Dunaway asked if they thought the majority of the annexation would be of substandard subdivisions. Mr. Walls answered, Haybe. However it must be considered that the County and City have different standards of building specifications therefore those in the City and thoRe outside would have slight variations.
