Escrow Ordinance (Carom. #8-75-3) Motion by Jaworski, seconded by Heil, that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends the City Council adopt the Escrow Ordinance as submitted, per attached. Motion carried unanimously. Weed Ordinance (Carom. #7-75-4) The Commissioners reviewed a model Heed Ordinance. Mr. Jalvorski stated he felt this model wasn't suitable for Andover. The Commission directed the Clerk to ask the League of Municipalities for Weed or Nuisance: Ordinances from other municipalities and also to request the source of the materials already presented. Andover needs a simpler fonl of Ordinance. This will be on the agenda for the next regularly scheduled meeting. Review of Ordinance lOB (Comm. #4-75-3) The Commission discussed the "Park Section" they had received frOI:l T.K.D.A. It was felt that it should be clarified in regard to park dedication and market value. The Commission speculated that the City should adopt a street standard and have the urban are~ be Class 5 and the rural areas all be tarred. This would be very practical because the roads would be easier to maintain in the rural area and in the urban areas the utilities, etc., could be installed without t-Irecking the blacktop. Re:: Stockwell, City Engineer, suggested the word "Lanes" be removed from Page 15 - lO.OSD - Street Improvement Standards. Motion by Orttel, seconded by Heil, to table Ordinance lOB until the next meeting for review by Park Board and clarification of comments on park dedication. Motion carried unanimously. Motion by Johnson, seconded by Jaworski, to bring back the item previously tabled. }wtion carried unanimously. Mr. Stockwell asked the Commission if they wanted the Stret)t Standards attached to. the Ordinance. He was advised to write a letter to the City Council suggesting they adopt a street standard. Motion by Johnson, seconded by Jawerski, that the Engineer pursue the street problems by our next meeting and draft a paragraph inserting these into Ordinance lOB and also review the street standard sec~ion for the whole City to make everything cOI:lpatible. Motion carried unanimously. Motion by H~il, seconded by Orttel, to table the review of Ordinance lOB until A~gust 26. Motion carried unanimously.
