See page 9 Page 3 Page 2, Planning Commission Meeting of April 12, 1982 Dale Albertson seconded Ilk motion.

STAFF DISCUSSION ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION BY-LAWS Dennis Stranger addressed the Planning Commission on amending the by-laws concerning Article II, the Monday evening meetings, being changed to Wednesday evenings. Earl Rhodes confirmed that all the Planning Commission needed to amend the by-laws is three affirmative votes on the motion. Arnold Mackley asked if the time can be left open for the start of the meetings. Dennis Stranger suggested a "Consent Agenda"; being able to take care of two, three, or four items at the beginning of the meetings with no presentations. Also, that no times be set on the agenda for items, which would give more flexibility. Barbara Lorah mentioned that this had been done before, and instead of speeding things up, it slowed them down. She was willing to try this, but felt that if things were getting bogged down, then the Planning Commission should go immediately back to set times for proposal presentations. Earl Rhodes suggested a consent agenda from 7:00 P.M. to 8:30 P.M., then set times for public hearings, etc. Discussion followed on the day that should be set for Planning Commission meetings. Mrs. Lorah felt that the secretary for the Planning Commission should be someone other than the Planning Director. Mrs. Lorah moved to amend the by-laws of the Planning Commission concerning the paragraph in Article II on changing the regular meetings from the second Monday to the second Wednesday of every month at the Garfield County Mountain View Building, 2014 Blake Avenue, Glenwood Springs, Colorado and; that the Planning Commission shall elect a secretary annually who shall assume the duties of the vice-chairman in his absence. He/she (or her/his designee) shall keep permanent Tecords of the minutes of the planning commission; he/she shall send out mailed notice of regular meetings of the planning commission one week in advance of the meetings; he shall give two days actual phone or personal notice of special meetings and carry out routine correspondence, and maintain the files of the commission. John Tripp seconded the motion. A poll was taken of the voting members: Tripp: yes; Mackley: yes; Lorah: yes; Albertson: yes; and McPherson: yes. The motion carried unanimously. Barbara Lorah moved to have the first Wednesday meeting in May. Dale McPherson seconded the motion. A poll was taken of the voting members: Albertson: yes; Mackley: yes; Lorah: yes; McPherson: yes; and Tripp: yes. The motion carried unanimously. WESTBANK RANCH FILING 114/FINAL PLAT DECISION Mr. Farrar reviewed the finalplat request for 60 lots totaling 100 dwelling units located within the Westbank Subdivision approximately 4 miles south of Glenwood Springs on County Road 109. He listed the five conditions from the preliminary plat resolution of the Board of County Commissioners, No. 81-333, which were to have been complied with by final plat. Mr. Farrar stated that they all had been complied with. He said that the staff recommendation was for approval with the condition that $500.00 per lot be paid to Garfield County for impact to the Hardwick Bridge. Mr. Stranger noted that the $500.00 should be per dwelling unit, not lot. Discussion followed in which Dale Albertson had looked up the past minutes from the Planning Commission in which they stated "lot" rather than "dwelling unit". Mr. Rhodes stated that, legally, the resolution cannot be changed. John Huebinger, owner of the proposal, said that the county is still ahead $30,000 more than they would have had, had no money been donated for the bridge. He noted that other developments have been asked to pay $200.00 per lot, rather than the $500,00 being asked of the Westbank Ranch. He also said that Westbank Ranch had contributed much to the county due to their extensive recreation area. Dale Albertson moved to approve Westbank Ranch Filing 4#4, Final Plat to the County Com- missioners with the following three conditions: 1. That $500.00 per lot be paid to Garfield County for the impact to the Hardwick Bridge. 2. That a guardrail plan acceptable to the Garfield County Road Supervisor and the Board of County Commissioners shall be provided and included as part of required subdivision improvements. 3. That a vegetation plan acceptable to the Board of County Commissioners, but in- cluding large trees, shall be provided and included as part of the required subdivision im- provements. Barbara Lorah seconded the motion. A poll was taken of the voting members: Tripp: yes; Albertson: yes; Lorah: yes; McPherson: yes; Mackley: yes. The motion carried unanimously. Dale Albertson moved the have the chairman of the planning commission sign the final plat for Westbank Ranch Filing #4. Barbara Lorah seconded the motion. The mbtion carried unanimously.
