.' cover use of a plan checking fee. However, the City Code holds that section of the Uniform Code inoperative, and removal of that language from the City Code has the effect of putting the fee into operation. Manager explained that the proposed change would not change the status of single-family or duplex fees, only commercial, in- dustrial, or multiple-family housing larger than a duplex. Mrs. Beal moved seconded by Mr. Williams that the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with una~imous consent of the Council. Motion carried unanimously and the bill was read the second time by council bill number only. Mrs. Beal moved seconded by Mr. Williams that the bill, be approved and given final passage. Rollcall vote. All councilmen present voting aye, the bill was declared passed and numbered 16796. D. Truck Routes Maps of proposed truck routes were previously distributed to Council members. Planning Commission on April 23, 1973 recommended adoption of the plan as submitted by the Transportation Planning Committee. Favorable Council action would entail recommenda- tion for establishment of the proposed routes to the State Highway Commission, 'thereby requiring heavy trucks mo bypass other than designated streets in traversing the City. Public hearing was opened. e Mike Helquist, 2456 Madison Street, speaking for Citizens for Noise Control, recom- mended adoption of the plan. He said various neighborhood or'ganizations in the City also favored its adoption. ," ' Nick Maskal, 4652 Briars, principal of Lincoln School, favored the plan also. He noted the significant. portion of heavy truck traffic around Lincoln School and said he felt designation of other streets for trucks wouid contribute to the safety of children going to and from school. Public hearing was closed. Councilman McDonald thought motorcycles should be included because of the noise factor. He favored designated truck routes to promote safety and lessen congestion, but felt noise control also was extremely important. Councilman Wood wondered whether the proposed routes ,~ould be required for local de- livery travel, thereby eliminating use of residential streets. He thought load limits might have a bearing upon which streets could be used. Manager said there was no attempt to establish load limits, the limit in the State law was the only authority. Councilman Murray supported the plan, saying it would be a meaningful step in protect- ing neighborhoods west of the downtown area. . Mrs. Beal moved seconded by Mr. Williams to adopt the plan and transmit recommendation to the State Highway Commission. Motion carried unanimously. E.
