Commissioner Horlen, substituting for Chairman Mooney, called the meeting to order at 6:33 p.m.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 1: Discussion of Unified Development Code and Associated Issues.
Development Services Director Callaway reported that the last revised draft has been mailed along
with a list of key points that were identified and where they are or are not located in the new draft. He
asked the Commission to report to Staff any that may have been missed. This list has been shared with
the Consultant. There is another round of meetings scheduled and this will likely be the last time that
we meet before the Joint Workshop on July 11, 2001.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 2: Discussion of Agenda Items.
Commissioner Warren asked about the driveway for the Alam Addition Preliminary Plat on tonight's
Consent Agenda. Assistant City Engineer Mayo said that one driveway would be very difficult to
move the traffic in and out of the site. A final plat of this same footprint for the driveway was
previously approved. The applicant chose to begin again with a preliminary plat and tweak a few
details internally. He stated that these are shared access driveways to go to the adjacent tracks and that
he has agreed to a 40' driveway opening verses a 36' driveway opening for better ease in maneuvering
the traffic and trucks onto and off the road.

Mooney. He added that there may be some that will want to speak about the College Hills Plat. Staff
has advised the Home Owner's Associations that this may be done during Agenda Item No. 2, Public
Comment for the Record. Commissioner Horlen will point this out during the meeting. Mr. Callaway
