Mr. Marston explained that these <br />lines are normally lines that are easily described such or section lines, <br />quarter lines, etc. A1 Sorteberg expressed that he had attended meetings <br />a couple of years ago a~d the boundaries, did not make sense to him. Mayor <br />Cox also expressed his problem with the boundary as established. Mr. <br />Marston said he would contact Mr. Cliff Aichinger of the EQB in regards <br />to this matter. <br /> <br />The use of natural water courses for drainage was discussed quite exten- <br />sively, as well as the use of detention ponds. <br /> <br />The discussion then went to the sizing of lots which was discussed at <br />length. The Commission members were not satisfied with the five acre <br />lots nor was Mayor Cox and all felt that 2% acre lots were adequate. <br />All felt that this lot size would be in keeping with the present 2% acre <br />lot sizes in the transitional area. <br /> <br />The next item of discussion was the section on land use. Discussion <br />included standards for the area as well as procedures for establishment <br />of the plan. Mr. Marston suggested that easements be aquired for access <br />to the river for pedestrian traffic. Mr. West explained he would not like <br />to see these extend along the river. Mr. Dunn explained that foot paths <br />and trails can result in bad erosion problems. <br /> <br />Discussion as to what other communities were doing with their Critical <br />Rivers Planning concluded the meeting. <br /> <br />Secretary Pro-Tom ~ ~ <br /> <br /> <br />
