Club Parking Requirements
The purpose of this ordinance is to amend the Zoning Ordinance

"Athletic Clubs" and adding a new Section 27 .26 .050 (1) to read
Athletic Clubs: 1 per each 200 gross square feet of floor area; and
renumber Section 27.26.050 (1 through 56 accordingly). The present
standard for Athletic Club parking is l space per 100 square feet.

BUSINESS FROM MANAGER
Sidewalk Policy -tabled 7/18/94
This item was tabled on July 18, 1994.
At the work session of last week Council reviewed and discussed the
City's policy as it relates to sidewalk replacement and
installation. Council's concern was to leave the policy as is and
readdress the Peterson School sidewalk issues. Council previously
discussed the need for sidewalk from Peterson School to loth Avenue
West along the south side of 2nd Street West. This one block
stretch of sidewalk would cost approximately $3,356. The
discussion also included the option of building sidewalk along this
same stretch from Peterson School to 8th alley West at a cost of
approximately $16,512. Upon passage the City would proceed to
public notice and notify the impacted property owners that sidewalk
has been ordered in adjacent to their property along with the
approximate cost of the work.
Nystul moved to remove from the table. The motion was seconded and
carried with a vote.
The motion on the floor is to order in the sidewalk from Peterson
School to loth Avenue West and amended to extend the sidewalk to
8th alley West.
Nystul spoke in favor of the motion.
The motion carried with a vote.

Public Works is requesting authority to proceed to bid an 8" test

water well. The motion was seconded.
The motion carried upon vote.
