dealt with the property owner on N. 3rd Street and he is present to

Mr. Umphrey asked are you moving that the sidewalk be installed and
the other staff recommendations on page 4?
Mr. Young stated yes, both the staff recommendations and the pole
movement request.
Mrs. Alkire asked is there existing sidewalk being replaced and
this is in the same location?
Mr. Andrew stated there is no existing sidewalk, there is a
sidewalk in front of the Street Department building and the General
Services building and this would essentially extend that on to the
west probably as far as that west driveway. There is really no
place to put it after that because of the railroad tracks.
VOTE:
The vote was 6-0 in favor of the motion.
Motion carried.
Mrs. Penrod asked do I hear anyone making a recommendation that the
Engineering or Police Department or a combination along with the
parties involved discuss the situation and possible signage or
something like that?
Mrs. Alkire stated I think there should be a way, the manual on
Uniform Traffic Control does not say that you are required to use
any certain length of time, there is a lot of leeway on your
wording and it would be appropriate with the concerns shown for
this to be safe in terms of both party's trucks and where they
might legally wait adjacent to the street rather than blocking the
traffic.
Mr. Andrew stated what might be in órder for you as a Board would
be to make a formal request that the Engineering Department review
the situation and possible signage and possible striping and things
like that. The staff is here to serve the Board and if you make a
request of that nature, we will pass that on to the Engineering
Department as a formal request from this Board. That would carry
more weight than if we as individuals or staff members did that.
MOTION:
Mr. Umphrey moved to make a formal reques1: to the
Engineering Department to review the situation and
possible signage and report back to us by the next BZA
meeting.
SECOND:
Mr. Young seconded the motion.
VOTE:
The vote was (6-0) in favor of the motion.

setbacks and carport additions on to the front of houses and asked
the Board how they wished to proceed with text amendments r~lating
to those items.
The Board indicated they were in favor of taking over
responsibility for fence variances and reducing nonaddress side
setbacks for houses on corner lots. The Board also agreed the
carport change should not be pursued.
41=4.
