Minimum 7,500 square foot lot shall be included to insure uniformity of lot sizes based upon the R-2 District This was the time and place set for the continued hearing of the City/County Planning Staff for a Zone Code Amendment - Chapter 18.21. The proposed amendment, if adopted, would provide for future city-sized lots in subdivisions featuring initial lots of less than three acres in size. This idea has been considered a number of times recently when rural subdivisions have been proposed, particularly when the City is con- cerned with safeguarding the options for future City expansion. The Planning Director presented the staff report which recommended approval of the Zone Code Amendment. Following discussion, the Commission continued the hearing for further study.

The Planning Director advised the Commission that the Planning Board would welcome any ideas of input by the Commission at any time. Discussion - re proposed By-Laws of Library Board of Trustees Dr. John Parker, Chairman of the Library Board of Trustees, was present to discuss the proposed by-laws submitted for Commission consideration. The proposed by-laws had previously been submitted to both the City Manager and the City Attorney, as well as the City Commission. After Dr. Parker's introductory remarks, a discussion ensued which seemed to center around Article III, Sections 1 and 2. These largely address the relationship between the Librarian and the Administration, and the Library Board and the City Commission. It was stated that the Library Board has acted in a strong, semi-professional advisory capacity tofue City Commission, and that this arrangement has apparently worked well over the years. It was the consensus of the Commission that this relationship should remain unchanged. Changes in the wording of Sections 1 and 2 of Article III were suggested, and Dr. Parker consented to a further review of these provisions by the Library Board, after which they would resubmit the proposed by-laws tofue City Commission.
