'I !i *Items were previously discussed at committee meeting9' of July 14 and July 21,197l. " ,. , II 7/l4/71A. Density Limitation Policy, Planned Unit Developments - Councilman Williams voiced some L !, I concern regarding a resolution forwarding a request for annexation of 33 acres west of I' Fox Hollow and south of Donald (Allen and Braezeal) to ~he Boundary Commission. He , " felt that, under present laws, a zoning classification of RA or R-l which would be placed on the property after annexation would permit 8 units to the acre under'a PUD. He felt this densi ty excessi ve, and requested the planning staff to prepare amendments .to the zoning ordinance which would permit the : Council and Planning Commission by contract to require a lower density development in situations.where staff, Commission and Council consider it appropriate. The matter should be considered by the Planning Commission and returned to the Council for action. . . Mr~ Teague and Mayor Anderson concurred with this suggestion. i Mr. Williams moved seconded by Mr. Gribskov that the planning staff prepare amendments e to the zoning ordinance that would permit Council and Planning Co~ssion by contract to require a lo~er density development in situations where staff, Commission and Council believe it appropriate. The matter should be considered by the Planning Commission and returned to Council for action. Motion carried unanimously. Approve B. Community Coordinated Child Care, Inc. (4C' s) -A request has been recei ved from the I. 7/21/71 4C's for endorsement. Councilman Mohr requested that the 4C' s be gi ven- an opportuni ty to briefly describe their program and to seek. Council endorsement. Miss J3.ckie Farrah, member of the Board of EJirectors of the 4C' s explained reasons for requesting Council endorsement, gave a brief history of the 4C's and outlined their program and its needs. Councilman Williams requested an explanation of the cf:1ange of emphasis from day care centers to a broadened fo~us. He strongly. supported day care centers, but was concerned the 4C' s might be too. ambi tious in broadening the scope of the organ- ization. Miss Farah explained that they would not administer these organizations, but would act as a referral to people seeking certain services. She mentioned that L-COG endorsed the program of comprehensive child care. I I There was Council discussion of. the scope of this operation, and whether more information should be obtained before any endorsement was given. It was the con- sensus of the Council that it was an excellent program, but that they had not had sufficient time to study its plans and needs. Mrs. Campbell moved seconded by Mrs . Beal to endorse the 4C' s,: I In response to Mr. Williams , City Mana~er said he could contact Mr. Morland of L=~OG regarding their recommendation, and the County Commissioners as to their involve- ~ ment in a community action center for the poverty program. Mr. Gribskov agreed i that he would also like more information before making a final decision. I Mr. Williams asked Mrs. Campbell to amend her motion to include this suggestion. Mrs. Campbell felt the 4C' s should have an indication of Council feeling, and said her motion would remain as stated. - Mrs. Beal requested a statement from the League of Women Voters representative as to its reasons for endorsement of this program. Mrs. Mary Briscoe,. League President, said they endorsed the concept of day care centers, and fel t this was certainly a prime concern for low income people. Councilman Hershner commented that the motion and what the Council was requested to do went far beyond endorsing day care centers. Vote taken on motion as stated. Mrs.. Beal, Mr. Mohr and Mrs. Campbell voted yes. Mr. Hershner and Mr. Gribskov voted no. Mr. Williams abstained, which. was inter- preted as an aye vote. Motion carried. C~ty Manager explained that a request had been received from Mr. Trafton, adminis- I trator of 4C's to postpone this request for endorsement indefinitely, since it has been found the federal regulations and the federal funding are so confused at the present time that the 4C's Council is not sure as to its activity scope.
