Regular City Council Meeting Monday,May 15, 2017 Page 16 When speaking of the Pathway Master Plan, Councilmember Willmus sought clar- ification as to which variation was being referenced, noting that the most recent plan from his recollection had some rather interesting dynamics when last dis- cussed. Mayor Roe questioned if that document had actually been adopted by the City Council, opining that the original 2008 Pathway Master Plan remained in effect. Mr. Lloyd confirmed that, noting that it was included in the transportation plan process for updating at this time. Councilmember Etten opined that this section wasn't easy to understand in the cur- rent language while the new language seemed to do so; and suggested that the lan- guage of the current code in its entirety wasn't necessary to carry over,but some of the items could be included to make the revised language more clear. Mayor Roe suggested a hybrid, and used examples to include from current code, and without objection, staff was so directed. Pages 1 —4, Sections 184—202 (1103.02: Streets) In these various sections, Mr. Lloyd advised that the effort was being sought to make this more consistently address rights-of-way from the street. Mayor Roe agreed with that intent, noting that what was being platted for subdivi- sions was for rights-of-way and not streets. Councilmember McGehee suggested including something in the definition section to ensure that anyone reading city code could easily determine what a particular street was. Mayor Roe noted that there are some industry known terms, and therefore wasn't sure how they needed to be defined in city code, even in the definition chapter. Mr. Lloyd advised that the rationale in leaning toward more technical terms is to avoid any confusion, since many state and county roads or at least segments of them had been turned back to the city and therefore. Public Works Director Marc Culver responded that each of those street definitions were clearly defined in the transportation plan; and in an effort to be efficient and not duplicate definitions in numerous places, staff had chosen well-known defini- tions in the plan, as indicated in Mayor Roe's comments. Councilmember McGehee agreed to their use in the manual, provided illustrations were included.
