Mr. Obie questioned what alternatives there might be to the issue. Manager said Council would have to be more specific as there may be alternatives to specific provisions of the present policy, such as lot area dimensions, driveway widths, etc. He said a street assessment study was underway, as well as the screeni ng of dri veways. He noted there were a whole range of alternatives that could be explored. Mr. Bradley felt it important to refine the policy and suggested perhaps certain neighborhoods could be exempt from the policy if they were to meet certain criteria. The panhandle policy possibly could apply to certain subdivisions created after a certain date. Ms. Smith expressed concern regarding Mr. Purdy's request, and hoped staff would be available to meet with citizens who are interested. Mr. Obie referred to the use of Council Aides, and requested a copy of the suggested procedures for their use in matters such as these. Mayor Keller summed up the discussion by saying there would be a Council tour on March 8, with a work session at that time, with a report back from staff as to alternatives for the panhandle policy.
