Commissioner-Chris Mehl: 2nd
08:40:23 PM Commission discussion on the Motion
Deputy Mayor Taylor stated that this is in an R-3 zone and welcomes the project. He does have
concerns with Condition 8. He heard staff in regards to emergency access, two accesses for
emergency vehicles is important. Condition 8 does not say the cost but could be many things.
There are a lot of loose ends. He says leave condition 8 intact.
Cr.Andrus supports the motion as it stands. She supports the YMCA.The public service director
made a good point in regards to connectivity. She welcomes a discussion with the County.
Mayor Krauss stated that we haven't heard anything about the City's responsibility to the road
and that is a piece of the proportionality of Vaquero. He gave examples of areas where the City
has waived for themselves. The City has a responsibility for putting in the road. We need to
examine what the City's responsibility is. He proposed that the motion be amended and the City
commits to half of the road.

that the road needs to be built. He isn't comfortable in making a decision on the City portion and
