Regular City Council Meeting Monday, June 19, 2017 Page 11 Mr. Lloyd provided several examples, such as with a recent City Council approval of a street width for a private road in a subdivision serving four lots and based on there being no other on-street parking for some distance outside that plat. Mayor Roe asked what constituted a plat and whether road width was part of that or how they were otherwise linked and standards applied; questioning if there was a link between a plat and a roadway width requirement. Mr. Lloyd responded that if there was some perceived value in assessment of street width and parking it may be better to locate that language earlier in the sec- tion of roadway improvements (e.g. lines 308-316) in keeping it in the subdivision code versus in the Design Standards document. Mayor Roe suggested if it is retained in the subdivision code, he wasn't sure if it needed to be rearranged tonight at the bench unless and until it was clear that a roadway standards section was indicated. City Attorney Gaughan opined that the first clause struck him as not the typical clause seen in code, and suggested the additional of a new section (e.g. 1103.02.5: Roadway Standards) so as not to link the rights-of-way and standalone design standards. Therefore, Mr. Gaughan reiterated his suggestion that preface lan- guage in line 408 be struck "While not strictly pertinent to rights-of-way..." and instead of Section G (in Chapter 1103.02.5) to reinstate Chapter 1103.02.1 (Roadway Standards). Without objection, Mayor Roe also noted the need to strike "existing" from line 409. Page 12, lines 449 and 468 Direction was provided to correct typographical errors, to remove the comma in line 449 and to remove the hyphen in line 467. Page 13, line 496 Mr. Lloyd addressed a staff discussion with the city attorney addressing when plans that were not amended for this to provide a standard way of accounting for proposed changes, and to further clarify it with the additional language, "...as ap- plicable at the time a plan is in effect at the time of application," While that was a staff discussion, City Attorney Gaughan opined that this may put too fine of a point on it, and by acknowledging that comprehensive plans and oth- er master plans were periodically amended or updated, suggested leaving the door open for a more lengthy comprehensive process rather than adding that clarifica- tion.
