Public Works Director Moore stated that the staff is concerned about having potential access into the commercial area via the residential area which is not good planning.

Item R8 -I Regular Council Meeting May 21, 1991 Page 189 Director Tremere stated that the City Council considered an application on April 22 and directed that the City Attorney prepare an ordinance amendment which would allow for three dogs per household in certain situations. A City Code amendment providing for a waiver of the kennel requirement is attached together with a Zoning Ordinance amendment. The Zoning Ordinance amendment requires a four-fifths vote. Councilmember Ricker exprdssed .-onnarn that the number of doge is really an arbitrary issue if they are appropriately controlled. Councilmember Vasiliou was co..cerned abou• the number of dogs that could be allowed in an APUD, especially one with attached housing. Three dogs is too many per household. Mayor Bergman was concerned that the community service officers have more productive things to do with the enforcement of animal control ordinances than verify lot sizes and numbers of dogs on a selective basis. Jane Fredberg, 13112 Sunset Trail, stated that she was the pecitionir and encouraged the City Council to increase :he number of dogs within reasonable restricti3na. She stated that she did not believe this would result in significant problems for the City. Councilmember Ricker queationed whether the waiver could be for a specific time and subject to renewal. Attorney Thomson stated that it could. Councilmember Ricker suggested that the waiver fee should be substantial and renewable as a further control. Councilmember Helliwell believes that if done on a one acre or larger lot which is totally fenced, the ordinance would be appropriate. MOTION was made by Councilmember Helliwell, seconded by Councilmember Ricker, to amend and ordinance AMENDING SUBSECTION 915.09 OF THE PLYMOUTH CITY CODE; RELATING TO WAIVERS OF DOG KENNEL LICENSE REQUIREMENTS which would add totally fenced" to (21 of the proposed ordinance. 10) 40 *41LO141P) 00-w4fj Regular Council Meeting May 211 1991 Page 190 Motion failed.

Councilmember Vasiliou asked about the status of erosion control. Director Moore stated that the process has been going well and that a part-time person was just hired to do the necessary monitoring. The existing policy will be reviewed shortly to determine whether it should be made more enforceable and understandable. Director Moore stated that the primary revisions made to the Engineering Guidelines were housekeeping. He stated that the major change is increasing the trail standards from two inches of bituminous over four inches of crushed rock, to three inches of bituminous over four inches of crushed rock. The rens^n for this is to enhance the longevity of the trails since they are now being plowed with heavy equipment which tends to break up the lighter trails.
