out of tolerance at one location. $7,000 is being withheld from payment to cover a city contracted inspector to do the inspection. Motion: Council Member DeLapp moved to approve Change Order No. 2C thereby decreasing the contract amount by $12, 215.41 to a total contract amount of $1,154, 965.59, defining a 5-year warranty period for workmanship and materials, and defining the concrete shaft inspection process. Council Member Johnson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Consider request for swimming pool covers Senior Planner, Ben Gozola, asked direction from the city council as to whether there is interest in accepting powered swimming pool covers as an acceptable barrier for pool safety in lieu of fencing. The city has recently received two separate requests to examine the utility of powered swimming pool covers as a viable alternative to required safety fencing. Motion: Council Member DeLapp moved to direct staff to addpool covers to the 2007 workplan. Council member Johnson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Senior Planner, Ben Gozola, explained the purpose of Ordinance no. 97-195 is to create the HD-LB-SRD Holding District to govern two of the properties to the south of 10"' Street. The HD-LB-SRD holding district was inadvertently missed during the initial process as a result of staffs concurrent updating of the City's official zoning map. Both properties in question were depicted as "Highway Business" on the city's zoning map, but staff discovered that the correct zoning for these parcels was actually Limited Business. Neither of the parcels being zoned HD-LB-SRD are subdividable under their current zoning. Motion: Council Member Johnson moved to approve Ordinance No. 97-195 creating language to govern the Limited Business sewered residential holding district (PID-LB- SRD). Council Member DeLapp seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Ordinance no. 97-196 prohibiting open space preservation development in adopted holding districts Senior Planner, Ben Gozola, explained the purpose of Ordinance no, 97-196 is to prohibit open space preservation development in holding districts with the based zoning of Rural Residential (RR) and Rural Estates (RE). He said the reason for creating holding district was to restrict development of parcels of less than twenty (20) acres in size. The adopted holding district language failed to prohibit OP development options in all holding districts being created on parcels formerly zoned RR and RE.
