Chairman Banks responded with a "no, it is not necessary for a road- way easement along Jackson Creek for repairs to the Creek if riprap is put in".

Member Emery recommended that Community Development Engineer Replogle look into the riprap problem for the protection of the Creek. Question was raised about the Park space. Chairman Banks stated so much land has to be set aside or a fee had to be charged against each lot according to Ordinance in lieu of a Park space. - - Member Zieser stated that a 10-foot strip on West Pine Street for right-of- way is necessary, and it is necessary for the 4-laning of Pine Street. BOATS Study shows this and the Council will require this also. Member Holbrook in- quired 'what was expected of the Planning Commission tonight on the Corcoran plan?' Chairman Banks informed all that this is just a discussion. We have already made recommendations to the City Council. Member Emery spoke on the recommended variance for the Cul-de-sacs. He felt this should be checked with the City Fire Department to see if a 45 foot or a 50 foot radius is sufficient. - Chairman Banks said the City Council wants .the Planning Commission to re- establish the area south of Taylor Road to Old Stage Road into the Low Density Residential area for study. Discussion was held on annexation to the City with special emphasis on this area south of Taylor to Old Stage Road. - Member Bradshaw suggested to the Planning Commission that Ron Young check with Jackson County to keep the City Planning Commission informed on the latest zone changes or development plans within 1/2 mile radius of the City.
