ordinance. Instead, we will require curb and gutter of streets in areas with MDR or more dense zoning. Another change and issue of concern was from Mr. Jeter about when would a second entrance be required in a subdivision. Mr. Jeter suggested that in Part C of the Subdivision Regulations draft, on page 27, that rather than set an exact standard or set a standard on a number of trips, that we stay with the language proposed by staff with the exception that reads in the first sentence, "where traffic impact analysis, the planning staff or Planning and Zoning Commission detei-tines it is necessary that a divided entrance or a second entrance "will be" required rather than "may be" required.

Mr. Jonathan Marshall, Senior Planner, addressed the Board stating that in addition to Sue and himself, Mr. Lewis Brownlow and Mr. Dewey Moose were also at the meeting as well as Commissioner Kenneth Olio-Mills.
