BUSINESS FROM MANAGER Resolution 4097-Lawrence Park Master Plan At the Work Session of May loth, 1993 the Council received a report from Mike Baker, Director of Parks and Recreation, concerning the costs of certain improvements in Lawrence Park.' The Council has previously considered short and long term improvements to Lawrence Park as part of a Master Plan process. In order for the Parks Department to proceed with funding of improvements it is necessary that the Council adopt a Master Plan for Park development. The adoption of a Master Plan for Lawrence Park does not necessarily mean that the Council agrees to fund all the improvements called out in the Master Plan, nor does it mean further review of any proposed improvements cannot take place. The City has for a number of years pursued the development of a greater Lawrence Park and the Master Plan document provides the City with a vision of what the Park may look like in 20 or 30 years. Williams and Staff recommended that the Council adopt the Lawrence Park Master Plan. Nystul moved Resolution 4097, a resolution approving the Lawrence Park Master Plan and not committing any dollars at this time. The motion was seconded. N f) 5 6 1. 564 Kennedy commended the Friends of Lawrence Park for all of their hard work and appreciated the Master Plan.being brought forward. Rauthe complimented the Council vision to fund the Master Plan Study this past year. With a vote the motion carried. Mission Street -No Trucks The Council considered certain options regarding traffic problems on Mission Street at the Work Session of May 10, 1993. At the Work Session by consensus, the Council agreed to install a guardrail toward the top of the hill where Crestview turns into Mission. The Council also determined that a "one-way" up was not desired by the neighbors. The only issue to be resolved is whether or not the Council desires to limit truck traffic on Mission Street. The Council should be reminded that posting Mission Street "no trucks" does not necessarily mean that trucks will be prohibited on the street. Under Section 17-48.2 Trucks Prohibited on Certain Streets: . . . This section shall not prohibit: (a) The operation of trucks upon such streets where necessary to conduct business at a destination point thereon within the City limits; provided, that streets upon which such traffic is permitted are used until reaching the intersection nearest the destination point. Williams and Staff had no recommendation on the Mission Street problem. There was discussion. Larson moved that the Mission Street, Buffalo Hill Street between Charlotte and Crestline and Crestline be posted "No Truck Traffic" as per the drawing provided by Public Works Director Babb. The motion was seconded. Kennedy, Larson and Collins spoke in favor of the motion. There was more discussion. The motion carried with a vote. South Meadows Subdivision Request Dennis Carver appeared before the Council at the May loth, 1993, Work Session and requested that the South Meadows Subdivision be allowed to utilize a "rural road" section for road construction. The "rural road" section does not provide for curb/gutter/sidewalk placement and storm water run-off gathers in swales. Carver's previous lot development in South Meadows utilized the "rural road" section and he indicated that it would be difficult to install curb/gutters/sidewalks in the development without installation of a storm water system. The "rural road" section is included in the City Standards for Design and Construction as an acceptable method of road construction; however, most new subdivisions in the City are required to have curb/gutter and a storm drain system. South Meadows is approximately 15 years old and is a mobile/manufactured home park. Granmo abstained from discussion and vote. Buck moved the Council approve the "rural road" Section in the South Meadows Subdivision. The motion was seconded. Atkinson spoke against the motion. 0'5 6 } 1 1 I 1 565 Larson, Nystul, and Rauthe spoke in favor of the motion. Upon vote the motion carried with Atkinson voting against. South Meadows Covenants Revision City Attorney Neier received a request from Dennis Carver regarding revisions in the Covenants on the South Meadows Subdivision. The revisions desired include: 1. a change to allow only double wides or factory built or custom built homes with a width of 20 feet or greater; 2. eliminate restrictions on children from lots within the subdivision; 3. eliminate restrictions on pets; and 4. eliminate requirements that the local governing body (City) approve changes to the covenants. Neier recommended the approval of No. 1-3 revisions. Granmo abstained from discussion and vote. Atkinson was not in favor of No. 1 revision. Kennedy moved that the City of Kalispell approve the South Meadows Covenants revisions to include revisions No. 1-3 only. The motion was seconded. With a vote the motion carried with Atkinson voting against.
