Discussion on separation of buildings on various zones; Municipal Code is
contrary to the Uniform Building Codes in some instances and conflicts. 12'
in City Code to 8' U.B.C. depending on use and type of construction in a zone;
R-1 Zone (Section 17.20.060) calls out 10 feet; R-2 and R-3 could be 10 feet
but distance in Section 17.24.070 "C" can be no less than 121 . More discussion.
Motion by Emery, second by Hillyer that Planning- Commission send Resolution to
Council to change the distance to 8' between separate buildings on the same tax
lot number in the R-1.Zone, R-2 and R-3 Zones to be more like the Uniform Build-
ing Code rather than having to allow variances in the footage separation of
principal buildings and. accessory buildings; Code 17.20.060, 17.24.070 and 17.
17.28.070. With an all in favor, the voting was unanimous in favor of the Reso-
lution to Council.

Miscellaneous Matters (continued
Letter from Dept. of Housing & Urban Development mentioned under "Correspondence".
Discussion on letter's requirements and recognition that there is no low-cost
housing in our City for elderly people. Secretary was requested to draft letter
in response, citing lack of present housing, the economic situation of the elderly,
median income in our area, coat of new houses, closeness to medical, shopping
facilities, etc.
Neat item for discussion under Miscellaneous Matters paragraph 5 of page 3
February 22, 1979 City Council Minutes regarding smoking during Planning Commis-
sion meetings. Nothing resolved. Chairman MCManam8 requested each member to
keep their smoking to a minimum during meetings to :;hl•ieviate some of the problem,
and especially when a large audience is present..ventilation is a problem itself!
General feeling is the inconvenience of having to stop a meeting in order to
allow "smoke breaka" among the Commission members. Each member pledged their
cooperation with the request.
No further business to come before this body, motion was made by Member Nordby
and seconded by Member Thelen to adjourn. All in favor, adjournment came at
