No. 3126~-Authorizing initiating process for sidewalk construction on Warren Avenue from Bailey Hill Road to Timberline Drive; and on Timberline Drive from Warren Avenue to Wilshire Lane (1224), was read by number and title. Mr. Delay moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, to adopt the resolution. Motion carried unanimously. East Butte Historic Landmark Area--Ordinance distributed. Manager said this item had been held over from the Monday, April 9, meeting. Judy Rees, HCC, reviewed the changes made in the ordinance which were in response to Council's direction from its March 26 meeting. Those changes included the following: 1) In Section 4(1), Standards For Alteration of Existing Structures, the phrase, "While maintaining the integrity of the structure" has been inserted after, "incompatible" in the last sentence; 2) Section 4(4)(a) Sun Exposure Plane Regulations were amended to include "may be waived for buildings up to two-and-one-half stories in height"; and 3) Section 4(7) Guidelines For Public Improvements--last sentence replaced with, "In order to enhance and contribute to historic character of East Skinner Butte Area, the City shall use the following guidelines to review all proposals for improvements to public spaces." Mr. Obie wondered if the two-and-one-half story limitation in the sun exposure plane would have any impact on the density and how it would affect developers wanting to build on vacant land. Ms. Rees replied there are two height regulation factors in this area: One, the sun exposure plane waiver would allow higher density. The second regulation affecting height in the area was the Skinner Butte View Corridor. C.B. 1853--Designating a portion of the East Skinner Butte Area as an Historic Landmark Area, and declaring an emergency, was read by council bill number and title only, there being no Councilor present requesting it be read in full. Mr. Delay moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, that findings supporting the Historic designation, as set forth in Historic Review Board staff notes and minutes of February 8, 1979, be adopted by reference thereto; that the bill be read the second time by council bill number only, with unanimous consent of the Council; and that enactment be considered at this time. Motion carried unanimously and the bill was read the second time by Council bill number only. Mr. Delay moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, that the bill be approved and given final passage. Rollcall vote. All Councilors present voting aye, the bill was declared passed and numbered 18371. Manager said the resolution amending the Whiteaker Refinement Plan required a public hearing.
