Regular City Council Meeting Monday, September 16,2013 Page 22 proposed development at the intersection of County Road B and Lexington Ave- nue, and his concerns with sight lines at that intersection. Mayor Roe opined that the issue was addressed in the regulating map, with a building possible up to the property line,but not necessary. Councilmember Willmus opined that, in some areas, the City should allow that to occur as it could create unintended consequence for fairly significant intersec- tions. Mr. Paschke noted that it was a balance with that and to avoid not having parking lots serving as front yards for businesses, another undesirable consequence. Mayor Roe opined that this was what he liked about the regulating map, it provid- ed enough flexibility and considered what worked for a particular development, while still allowing parking no closer than 25'. Even with busy agendas coming up in the next few weeks, Mr. Trudgeon advised that staff would like to return for further discussion sooner rather than later to keep things fresh for everybody and continue making progress. Mr. Trudgeon summarized that the consensus was to head in separate districts with distinctions within the CMU designation, which staff would bring back as a draft at the next opportunity. Mayor Roe opined that by focusing on CMU sub districts, perhaps including some with a primary focus on residential, but not precluding all other uses, it sent a clear message to developers what the City's primary intent was. 15. City Manager Future Agenda Review Mr. Trudgeon noted the Closed Executive Session on September 23, 2013, for the pur- pose of discussing the PIK property acquisition and updates on potential park property acquisitions, estimating that a minimum of one (1) hour would be needed for that Ses- sion. After some discussion, Mayor Roe determined that a 6:00 p.m. start time would go for- ward. Councilmember McGehee left at approximately 9:24 pm 16. Councilmember Initiated Items for Future Meetings Councilmember Willmus requested that Mr. Trudgeon review current code language re- garding pervious surfaces related to new construction, in order to address a citizen con- cern for a property on Owasso Boulevard.
