Mr. Sonterre provided additional explanation of how <br />the language is used regarding whether there is curb and gutter. Councilmember Elnagdy suggested a <br />grammatical change. She asked if there is a potential for confusion with the reference to the curb line <br />and/or gutter line. Mr. Sonterre replied that this language attempts to avoid that confusion and <br />provided additional explanation. <br />Councilmember Jenson asked and received confirmation that the picture would be included in the <br />ordinance, as that helps to make it easy to understand. <br />Mayor Webster referenced a scenario where a stop sign is in front of a corner home and asked if there is <br />a parking restriction within 30 feet of a stop sign. She stated that it may help for consistency to use the <br />same distance regulation. Mr. Sonterre was unsure of the regulation for a stop sign and explained why <br />the distance is required for the vision triangle. <br />Councilmember Elnagdy referenced subclause D and asked why 18 inches was chosen rather than the <br />standard of 30 inches. Mr. Sonterre stated that 18 inches was chosen as that was the height previously <br />included in the Code, and it is also consistent with the language found in the native and natural section. <br />3
