. Mr. Haws moved, seconded by Mr. Hamel to authorize the expenditure. Motion carried unanimously. Approve e x. Consideration of Referral of Panhandle Policy Issues to Planning Commission for Further Study Letter distributed to Council. Mr. Saul asked the Council not to refer to the Planning Commission the Panhandle Policy for further consideration and not to open at this time the Policy for further consideration. He said that the Policy had been recently reviewed and established. In December, 1975, notifi- cation had been sent to the neighborhood organizations that the Policy was going to be considered. In March, 1976, a public hearing was held. In response to that public hearing, a proposal was drafted containing changes requested and this proposal was again sent to all neighborhood groups. Staff met with the neighborhood groups and the Planning Commission held another public hearing in April, 1976, at which time the Willa- kenzie Neighborhood Association stated its opposition to the proposal, the same reasons as stated in the letter received by Council. However, the Planning Commission did recommend the Policy as stated. Council considered the Policy in a meeting in May, 1976 and also received a copy of a letter from the Willa- kenzie Neighborhood Association. In May, the Council approved and adopted the Panhandle Policy as recommended by the Planning Com- mission. Mr. Saul further explained that to date 139 applica- tions had been received for minor partitions and, of these, 38 were approved for panhandle lots with only one appeal to date. He said he felt an extensive review of the Policy at this time was not necessary, citing having only one appeal out of 139 pe- titions. He reiterated he would request the Council not to refer the matter back to the Planning Commission, citing time pressures, problems, the recent consideration of the Policy, and the fact that there are other major policies coming up in the next few months for the Planning Commission to be considering. Council took no action on referring the Panhandle PoI icy to the Planning Commission, therefore, the Policy stands. Affirm There was a request by Dr. Glen Purdy, 2490 Lariat Meadows Drive, soeaking for Adolph Sandin, 2425 Lariat Meadows Drive; William Kirk- patrick, 2230 Sandy Drive; indicating that they wished for Item II-A-10 on the Panhandle Policy to be segregated for discussion, asking for postponement on action of that item to the Council's March 14 meeting when the appeal will be considered. e 2/28/77--31 1~7
