330 Councilman Britschgi suggested that the City Engineer work along with Mr. Nackard, the Chief of Police and a couple of the residents of Nimitz Avenue and bring back a report to the Council. iHe believes that they can work out something on this matter and bring back sufficient information for the Council to act upon. Councilman Herkner stated that he wanted a map showing two or three plans for entrances and exits to this property. Councilman Herkner moved that the public hearing be held up one week, seconded by Councilman Weiss provided that all information of the facing of the lots, where the var- iance will apply and the proposed exploration of the driveways also be furnished to the Council. Councilman Herkner included this in his motion. Mr. Nackard was asked to bring his information to the City Engineer.

In his report, the City Manager stated that he discussed this with the City Engineer and it is Mr. Jain's understanding that this structure is to be used for the purpose of ingress and egress to a private garage, which is to be located on private property, as is the pro- posed bridge. In this event the Engineering Department's only concern would be to make sure that the bridge in question is structurally sound and that the water way is of sufficient capacity to permit the uninterrupted flow of storm water during the peak periods. Mr. Rolison can see no objection to the granting of the extension of time requested, providing the use of these premises in the meantime does not conflict with parking or other City regulations caused by the absence of such structure. The construction of this proposed bridge was a condition established by the Planning Commission and the Zoning Ordinance, in order to fulfill the requirements that an accessible garage be provided to serve the new residence built by the owners. It is Mr. Rolison's and Mr. Jain's opinion that this request be referred to the Planning Commission. Councilman Weiss moved to accept this report and refer this to the Planning Commission as requested, seconded by Councilman Britschgi and carried.

This was followed by discussion in which Mr. Jain stated that the City would have to get the contractor and have the work done in order that they can bill Mr. Ibie on his taxes. Council- man Stout moved to accept the report and the City Engineer to be instructed to proceed with the carrying out of the ordinance. This was followed by discussion.

OR Councilman Weiss moved that they rescind the previous minutes action and that they proceed with the Mai suggestions as stated tonight and proceedmith the carrying out of the ordinance. This was followed by considerable discussion. Councilman Stout felt his motion was still in order and Councilman Weiss's was out of order.
