MATTERS INITIATED BY COUNCIL MEMBERS Regarding the matterof forming a 25-member Citizens Committee on General Plan Review, Councilman Beratlis recommended that the members of this Committee be selected on the basis of equal representation from each sector of the City accord- ing to the number of people residing in each sector. After some discussion, it was moved by Councilman Beratlis and seconded by Councilman Reid that Resolution No. 70-17, appointing a 25-member Citizens Com- mittee on General Plan Review on an equal representation of all areas within the City based on area population, be adopted. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmen Beratlis, Rega, Reid, Spiliotopoulos and Mayor Getton NOES: None ABSENT: None Councilman Spiliotopoulos reported that he had discovered that the plans the City had approved on the six-plexes to be constructed in the Fairlands Development were not the same as wha~ were being built and that he had reported this infraction to Mr. Fales this morning. Councilman Spiliotopoulos stated that Mr. Fales had issued a "Stop-Work" order on the construction of seven six-plexes because Mr. Oakes, the developer, hzd not complied with the plans approved by the Design Review Committee, the planning Commission, and the City Council. Councilman Spiliotopoulos stated that Mr. Oakes proceeded to construct the units with changes in the interior design that required relocation of the patio to the front yard, and a full mansard roof, rather than the gable roof shown on his plans. Councilman Spiliotopoulos asked Mr. Fales if this infraction was the result of the lack of cross-checking within the Planning and Building Departments. Mr. Fales replied that the lack of additional personnel needed in these departments to con- stantly check every minute detail was the only reason that incidents such as th~s could occur. Mr. Fales also cited that the pressure from the developers these departments received was, at times, unbelievable. Mr. Oakes explained that the front elevation is somewhat different than his approved plans because his architect felt the mansard roof line should be continued on both principal structures, rather than construct a gable roof. Mr. Oakes claimed that he was constructing and designing these structures for better than what was approved by the City. Mr. Oakes appealed to the City Council to allow him to proceed with sealing the roofs on these units so that no s~ructural damage would be done to the build- ings in the event of more rainy weather. Mr. Hirst stated that the City would not be held liable for the work Mr. Oakes requested to be done, in the event the Council decided the approved plans must be adhered to. The City Council gave Mr. Oakes permission to seal the roofs and also to meet with the Design Review Board regarding this matter. Mayor Gerton instructed the staff to investigate this situation and prepare a written report on the staff's findings. Councilman Splliotopoulos presented Mr. Fales with a list of names compiled by the Historical Society for use in selecting a name for the park in the Fairlands Subdivision as well as for use in naming other parks. Councilman Spiliotopoulos requested that commendations be m~de !:o approximately 20 citizens who played a major part in the success of Teen Enterprises, Incorpora- ted. Discussion ensued regarding the participation by many citizens in this program. It was moved by Councilman Spiliotopoulos and seconded by Councilman Beratlis tb-'.t appreciation to everyone who participated in Teen Enterprises, Incorporated, be officially extended.
