Dale Coulam advised that Judy Gubler compiled the changes; he has reviewed the changes and concurs. After tonight’s discussion, a final draft will be completed in an ordinance format. On Page 5, f (i) of the draft under "Carports and Detached Garages" you were going to get some input from Kevin Rudd.
Chairman Hart suggested that the Commissioners review the changes page by page.

The changes will be made as per the Commissioners’ discussions.
Kevin Rudd asked if the Commissioners wanted Staff to revise the draft and resubmit it to the Commission again or set a public hearing on the multi-housing. He reminded them that the Transportation Master Plan would also be on the next December meeting schedule.
Chairman Hart felt that the Commissioners were clear on the multi-housing changes and a public hearing could be set.
Dale Coulam advised that he would put the changes in an ordinance format, but the first of the year would be better for him.
The Commissioners asked that the public hearing be set for the first meeting in January.
Commissioner Reed inquired about the verbiage in the motion to approve a Class IV Conditional Use Application for a Casita Guesthouse located at 970 Paiute Drive. The motion reads that the combined use of the casita and garage replaces the use of the detached building. There was additional language in the motion that said that no additions would be permitted to that attached building. He asked if the motion was sufficient.
Dale Coulam stated that the motion is verbatim. It has been the City’s policy that motions are verbatim but the verbiage would be checked.
Kevin Rudd explained that Martha Wilson brought up the fact that the motion could be interpreted differently, and he explained to her that he would refer to the detailed paragraph since it clarified the motion that the combined use of the detached garage and casita would not allow for another detached garage on the property.
Dale Coulam cautioned the Commissioners about correcting minutes. The minutes are now being summarized but the public will be able to hear what was actually said opposed to what are in the minutes.
Page 1, Title - Change "Agenda" to "Minutes"
Page 2, Line 10 - Delete "extra period"
Page 4, Line 17 - Commissioner Mendenhall emailed her corrections to Martha Wilson.
