250 COUNCIL- MEETING January 13, 1986 Page Six Mr. Reinert said he was surprised this was not brought up when considerating Ordinance No. 16 -85 since it was proposed to the Planning and Zoning Board by Mr. McLean. Mr. Reinert said this falls in line with an ordinance that was proposed a while ago in regard to the length of a driveway that was required on some of the acreage parcels and the requirement that they be blacktopped. The cost of this would have been prohibi- tive. He understood that the ordinance now being considered tonight would requirement urban street standards to be applied to the large acreage lots and felt this was also prohibitive. He felt the City should prepare for subdividing larger percels into smaller lots and felt that the way this ordinance is presently written no one could afford to construct urban standard streets on large parcels. Mr. Toddie said that the type of street required in a new subdivision would depend on the proximity or possibility of extending sewer into that area. He felt it was not wise to develop an ordinance that required, for instance, urban standard streets when the lots were platted five acres or larger. The economics as well as other factors dictate more the type of street rather than size of lots. Mr. Reinert said he understands that when a City requires that a street be put in on some of the larger parcels, preparation is made for updated or urban streets at some future date. This would not make it prohibitive to develop larger acreage lots. Mayor Benson noted the Ordinance No. 16 -85 deals with the substance of the street, not what type of street would be reqiured. It was brought to the Council by the Public Works Director, not the P & Z Board. Mr. Reinert felt this ordinance could have been packaged better. Mr. Marier moved to accept Ordinance No. 16 -85 for the 2nd reading and waive the reading. Mr. Bohjanen seconded the motion. Mr. Bisel asked Mr. Reinert if he was satisfied with this ordinance. He felt this was being considered piece meal, there is a better way of handling this. Mayor Benson said this could be addressed at the special P & Z meeting 1/15/86. Voting on the motion, motion carried unanimously. B.
