the extension of 4' on the alley, which would
result in a 20' alley running into a 16' alley.
The new city standards for alley width is 20
feet.

132 with the FRDO recommendations, except recom-
mendation #2 (page 1). Recommendation Nos.

eliminated. Second Paliga. Unanimous.
Two Mile Tracts Mohn presented a request by Somers Land Company
Phase II for Preliminary Subdivision approval of a
21-lot residential subdivision on 14.41 acres
known as Two Mile Tracts Phase II. Mohn noted
the proposal had been approved in 1979, but had
since expired. Two Mile Drive has been widened
since the 1979 approval. Public comment was
received from Forrest Rockwood stating the
fence line is 10' into his property; not as
shown on the map.
FRDO Approval With FRDO recommended preliminary approval of Two
Conditions Mile Tracts Phase II with the following condi-
tions: 1. All water and sewer systems be
approved by the State and County Health Depart-
ment. 2. That the water system extension
provide facilities for the West Valley Fire
Dept. at the following locations: Lots 26,
31 and 37 and provide 300 g.p.m. at 40 p.s.i.,
to be tested and approved by the Fire Depart-
ment. 3. The park requirement be met by the
combination of 1.27 acres dedicated and the
cash value of .71 acres be paid to the county
park fund, with the addition that a 20 foot
pedestrian -bicycle access be dedicated between
Lots 22 and 23. 4. All roads be built to
county standards and be paved. 5. A drainage
easement 25 feet wide, from the centerline

Subdivision Regulationsj6. Brook Drive be
extended into the Lot 41 and park area and
provide a "T" shaped turnaround and public
access to the park area. The park site, as
provided, has no access.
(2)
Public Comment Allen Riebe noted concern with his water line
across Brook Drive easement on the West boundary
through the park area. He stated traffic would
go over his irrigation line. Paliga questioned
the problem and there was some discussion if
the responsibility was to be carried by the
developer or the county.
Hans Mize noted approval of Carver's proposal
to pay cash in lieu of a county park and stated
this was economically feasible as the county
could not care for this park; it is in a low-
lying area and could cause problems. Norm
Sundholm questioned parking facilities on the
park site. Doyle stated it could be a home-
owners park instead of a county park. The
Board agreed the county could use the money.
Developer Comment Carver commented on the Fire Department require-
ments of 300 g.p.m. and stated that was more
than required in Phase I. He had no objections
to the hookups. Forrest Ferris, Fire Chief
from West Valley Fire Department, stated they
were requesting this to meet State specifica-
tions. He noted they were lenient in asking
for 300 g.p.m. and did not require a hydrant,
\1 but were requesting the pressure. Carver stated
�J their well is drilled and the pump is installed
and the system was not compatible with 300
g.p.m. Carver noted one well provides for
both subdivisions and it was adequate.
LeDuc agreed with Ferris on Fire Department
requirements and noted on the easement, he
would like to see the cash in lieu payment
put as a homeowners deal.
Two Mile Tracts Heller moved to approve the Two Mile Tracts
Approved With Phase II with all 6 previously listed FRDO
Conditions recommendations, changing No. 3 to read, "the
park requirement be met by the combination
of 1.27 acres as homeowners association park
and that $2500 be paid as cash -in -lieu of .71
acres to the County Park Fund. In addition,
a 20-foot pedestrian -bicycle access be deeded
to the homeowners association between Lots
22 and 23." Second Paliga. Unanimous.

set -back lines from 15 feet to 5 feet to allow

acceptable to some of the residents. LeDuc
stated the day of the stick house is limited
and statutes prohibit discrimination against
modular homes. Heller suggested covenants
be re -worded .to require permanent foundations
for tax purposes. Discussion was held on what
