Information concerning Bryan Street '

Director of Community Development, Roy A. Bi.ngman, spoke to the following:
We have had considerable discussion on the status of Bryan Street south of
Crestmore. This is only a half -street; and even parts of this half -street
are not actually dedicated to the City. On the east side of Bryan Street
is University housirg. The students have been using the parking in this
area and causing confusion in this half -street area. Our staff has been
working with CSU personnel for some time regarding this matter. It now
has been decided that CSU would install a fence and some planting -screen-
ing between the parking lot and Bryan Street. It is also hoped that some
type of turn -around will be constructed at the south end of this dead-end,
}-calf-street.
No action taken on this item.

Review of Zoning Board of Appeals Decision
City Attorney March stated the appeal had come from the Building Inspector
tf� to the Zoning Board of Appeals to interpret a provision of the Zoning
Ordinance as to a proposed specific use; that was whether the University of
Martial. Arts would be permitted in the H-B zone. As originally presented,
it was presented that they wanted to be classified as a membership club.
The Board broadened the question of their own motion, with the concurrence
of the applicant to consider whether, under an classification, they would
be allowed. The Board never reached the question of a membership club,
by virtue of that because they decided that it was an office use.
Attorney March stated he felt some of the members of the Council were con-
cerned with a building code question, not a zoning code question.
' Councilwoman Reeves stated she was concerned about children using the school.
No action taken on this item.
Purchase of Fertilizer tabled
Assistant City Manager, Mike DiTullio, stated a shortage was evidenced last
year, at that time the Administration had requested a sole source purchase
for fertilizer in January of 1974 which Council had approved. The Admin-
istration has been negotiating with Scott's Pro Turf, who advises that sub-
stantial savings could be made available if an order was placed now for
delivery in June. However, under the City's accounting procedures, an
order cannot be placed without encumbering funds to pay for it. The
Administration is requesting Council authorization to exceed the 1974
budgeted amounts for fertilizer and authorize the purchase under sole source
again.
Councilman Russell inquired if there was not a local Scott dealer in town.
Mr. DiTullio responded that, in the past, the local dealer had been unable
to furnish bulk amounts, bids had not been solicited however on the 1975
request.
Mr. Dan Beck stated he felt a product was being spec'd in which is elimi-
nating local.suppliers from providing the product. Also, how did the
Admviistration know that a savings is being affected if competitive bids
were not solicited.
Councilman Russell spoke to the problems with sole source purchases. City
Manager Brunton stated he would also like to speak to the local dealers.

Citizen Participation
1. Mr. Henry Olson, 255 South Taft Hill Road, stated he wished to speak
about the closing of Briarwood Street. Shifting traffic onto Taft Hill
Road: Mr. Jerry Arnold, 345 South Taft Hill, stated the problem was
that traffic was going from Laporte to Taft Hill which is in poor repair,
and that cars turning right do not stop but turn right on the red light.
Also truck traffic had increased due to the closing of the Port of Entry.
The suggested remedies were (1) reduced speed limits and no right turn
signals at the intersection.
Ms. Carol Stephen, 125 South Taft Hill, also requested that caution sign
indicating horseback riders be installed.
Mayor Fead stated he thought the Administration should examine the situation.
City Manager Brunton stated he had received an inquiry from Mr. Olson and he ,
had responded on October 10, plus requesting that the traffic committee
study the situation. The Manager read the letter to Mr. Olson at length.

d. Putting a crossing guard at that intersection during school hours.
Councilman Bowling stated he had met with the Staff. and Mr. Scarboro at this
corner and was requesting that the Administration immediately paint the
cross walks and see if a crossing guard can be obtained and that an
education program be initiated for the school children in that area.
City Manager Brunton read a letter at length; a letter sent to the P.T.A.
' and P.T.O., regarding this matter, in which a traffic study had been requested.
The Manager stated he hoped to have a report at the Traffic Committee meeting
on Tuesday.
Councilman Bowling stated that he, as a Councilman, was making a formal
request for the crosswalks to be painted and to find out how soon a cross-
ing guard would be available for this crossing.
City Manager Brunton stated, that if Council. directed, the crosswalk would
be painted, the Administration, as a rule, did not like to put crosswalks
in unless additional safety devices were installed.
Mayor Fead stated that if there was a report in progress, and Council would
get it in the next week, that the request was premature and he would favor
waiting for the report. Councilwoman Preble also stated she favored waiting
for the report.
City Manager Brunton stated,if Council desired,a crossing guard would be added
to the 1975 budget.

Application by City for Federal Funds
to improve Bridges approved
City Manager Brunton stated earlier this year the TOPICS program had been
changed - the guide lines are unclear.
Director of Community Development, Roy Bingman, stated the problem was that
the Highway Department is not familiar with how this operates either; one
of the people from the Greeley office had talked to the federal people, he
had received a telephone call indicating that the City could not use the
Lincoln or linden Street bridges because they are not on the TOPICS Type II
System as adopted by the Federal Highway Administration.
There is some money available and could be used in other areas
Acting Director of Plauiing, Ted Rodenbeck, spoke to the recommendation of
the Staff and Planning and Zoning Board that priority be given to .the
replacement of the Lincoln Street bridge.

Final Plat Plan and Landscaping Plan
for Walters Subdivision approved
Assistant Planning Aid, Paul Deibel, identified the area and stated Council

from the requirement for a standard frontage road. This proposal revises
the plan to include a standard frontage road across the site, except that
it preserves an existing 36' shared curb cut at the northern property line.
The Staff recommended that the plan be approved but that the utility plans
be revised to indicate that the island will be extended north to the
northern property line, which would close off the curb cut.
