D. Public Hearing: Zoning Regulations:
1. Ordinance #8-91. Arterial Street Standards and
Special Review Procedures. Mayor Dannels declared the
public hearing open. Director Stamey reported that the
Planning Commission recommended modification of the
Arterial Street Standards, and Special Review language.
The purpose of the arterial standards is to create a
visual landscaped buffer along the Town's entryways. The
special review language modifications remove some of the
more subjective criteria and require more information
from the applicant at the time of submittal. In other
action, the Planning Commission recommended not to
proceed with a separate Sport and Recreation District,
and tabled proposed revisions to the Bed and Breakfast
rules to allow for another study session.
Trustee Habecker expressed concern regarding the
requirement that the proposed 25' planting buffer on all
arterial streets be irrigated and disagreed with the
statement "avoid unnecessary damage to the natural
environment through design adaptation to the
particularities of the site". Administrator Klaphake
expressed concern with respect to the Town's requiring a
25' front yard setback which might decrease the
developable building space or eliminate the possibility
of parking spaces in front of the site. Director Stamey
noted that there are provisions within Section 17.24.020
which allow the Planning Commission to approve
alternatives to the planting specifications, and which
also allow for existing vegetation to be counted toward
Board of Trustees - April 9, 1991 - Page 3

the public hearing closed. Town Attorney White read the
