There was discussion of the acceptance of t: e Comi)rehensive TAnd fee
MSD . It was felt it could be recommended for acceptance with reservations,
however, in three areas in which chant -es have occurred si ce the drawing up of
the original map.
1. In the thoroughfare plan, the major question concerns the feasi-
bility of Lake Streetts ever becoedng a major thoroughfare, and extending north
over the river. The existing buildings on this street do not allow widening of
the road. The alternative of develoning the road west of the ^ew hi�-� school
site into a major north -south thoroughfare was discussed. The secre-.aryr was
instructed to write to the school board advising them o'' t :is T�ocsibili'”,
_ waic.. has been suggested by the engineers.
2. Jack Powers presented a Zoning Man, brourn ur to date, »pith all
non -conforming uses marked. Since there are so :nary discre-ancies between
zoning uses as they exist and oronosed zoning, it was felt that unqualified
acceptance of the Land Use Plan with res,,ect to zor.inF: was unrealistic.
3. With respect to Parks and playgrounds, all rronosed narks anc'
playgrounds as marked on this map are acce>>ted, with r.he only nxcepl.ion neces-
sitati^, a new ,park site south of the Sout'.view addition, which was desig-s3ted
on the origin, map as a park area.
With resect to amendments to the Subdivi^ on Ordinance, two changes
,.� were discussed:
a. a more realistic requirement for thfa Pla nin,� Ccvm: issionl s
final acceptance of a -late
b. a more detailed spelling out. of the 5.-, requirenent for . rkc
and :;1ayZrounds.
