The following phase would address NRA management issues. Member Burns asked if the two year time frame should be added to the resolution. Ms. VanMeter replied that this was not necessary.

ELEMENTARY HOOL 1990 Member Carroll took no vote and excused himself from the Board due to a perceived conflict of interest. Joe Frank gave a history of the Elementary School 1990 and the decision of the Board in April. Discussions and negotiations were started on how to resolve the issues that were raised at the April P&Z meeting. -3- Council was presented with a solution at their July 18 hearing. This solution involved the City cooperating in the provision of certain improvements to Horsetooth Road between Taft Hill Road and the proposed collector street, which included 36 foot of pavement, curb, gutter and sidewalk, and two -bicycle lanes on the north side of the street. The amount of that improvement was $123,000 which was appropriated as part of the project that was currently underway on Taft Hill/Horsetooth. There was now an understanding and agreement with the School Board that they would make the improvements on the collector street between Horsetooth Road and the school site. He stated that staff felt that the August 14 hearing with the School Board was no longer necessary and would recommend that the Planning and Zoning Board rescind their April decision of disapproval of the Elementary School 1990 and approve the site plan. Mr. Peterson stated it was important to recognize the Board's contribution to creating a dialogue with the School District and the City. He said that in terms of the Board's consideration with this project, Council has not had second reading on the ordinances. He suggested that the Board consider if a rescission of the previous action was passed, to take effect after the second reading which was scheduled August 1. Mr. Eckman stated that motions, under Robert's Rules of Order, need to be reconsidered either at the same meeting or at the meeting immediately following. However, a motion to rescind can be performed at any time provided that no one has taken any action in detrimental reliance upon the earlier vote. Chairwoman O'Dell asked that if the Board rescinded their previous motion, would another motion to approve be required. Mr. Eckman replied that a new motion would not be necessary unless the Board wished to do so for clarity. Member Burns moved to rescind the Board's earlier action of disapproval contingent upon the adoption by the City of a funding for the new street improvements. Member Klataske seconded the motion. Motion to rescind passed 4-0. Member Strom moved to approve the Elementary School 1990 Site Plan. Member Burns seconded the motion. Motion to approve passed 4-0.
