Bids were opened Tuesday, April 14, 1998 with the following results:
Poe Asphalt Paving, Inc. 54,064.30
Motley & Motley, Inc. 58,932.48
Quad Cities Construction, Inc. 60,714.10

landscaping which is estimated to be $2,180. With the low bid of
$54,064.30 and the landscaping cost of approximately $2,180, the total
construction cost should be approximately $56,244.30. The City share
amounts to $15,300, which leaves the L.I.D. construction portion at
approximately $40,936. When 20% E and A is included, the total L.I.D.
approximate cost is $49,723. The advertised amount for the L.I.D. was
$44,241. The increase in cost to the L.I.D., based on the bids, will be
approximately $5,482. By State Code we are allowed to assess 20% above the

2. Public Hearing - 7:30 p.m. - Annexation and Zoning of Property Located
on the=20
Southeast Corner of N. Polk Extension and Empire Way - Dale Pernula
Moscow Fire Department proposes to locate a new fire station on a half-acre
parcel of land at this site which would require rezoning of the property
(to R-2) and annexation. After annexation, a Special Use Permit will be
required for the fire station. The Planning and Zoning Commission held a
public hearing on this matter on February 11, 1998 (minutes enclosed).
This will also require rezoning of the remainder of the property from which
the half-acre will be divided and a lot division.
ACTION: After conducting the public hearing, reject proposal, or approve
the annexation and rezoning and adopt the enclosed Ordinances (rezoning
both parcels with separate ordinances) on first reading, or under
suspension of the rules requiring three complete readings. Findings of
fact are required on the rezoning. If the rezoning is approved, consider
approval or denial of the lot division.

Mr. Bob Heisch proposes to rezone 1.91 acres of land (indicated as parcel
"A" on the enclosed map) he owns from FR to R-3 and to create six lots
(which could be used for single family or duplexes); and to plat the
remaining 1.11 acres of land (Parcel "B") into two single family
residential lots currently zoned and to remain R-1. In addition to the
proposed rezoning, City staff proposed rezoning Anderson/Frontier Park
(Parcel "C") from FR to R-3 or R-4. A public hearing on this matter was
held by the Planning and Zoning Commission on March 25, 1998 (minutes
enclosed).
ACTION: After conducting public hearing, consider the following actions:

adopt enclosed Ordinance on first reading or under suspension of the rules
requiring three complete readings. Findings of Fact must be made on this
issue.

or without conditions.

4. Public Hearing - 8:00 p.m. - Consideration of Ordinance Reducing Minimum
Sideyards=20
for Lots Served by Alleys and Reducing Minimum Street Frontage on
Cul-de-sacs.- Dale=20
Pernula
The reduction in sideyard requirements for lots served by alleys is
proposed to encourage the use of alleys and because access to the rear of
such lots is satisfied by the alley and the extra space for the side yard
is thus less important. This reduction in minimum lot frontage on
cul-de-sacs corresponds to the adoption of a reduced radius on cul-de-sacs
last year. A public hearing on these matters was held by the Planning and
Zoning Commission March 25, 1998 (minutes enclosed). Reviewed by
Administrative Committee April 16, 1998.
ACTION: Reject proposal; or approve amendments to the zoning code and
adopt enclosed Ordinances on first reading or under suspension of the rules
requiring three complete readings.

was held on this matter by the Planning and Zoning Commission on March 11,
1998 (minutes enclosed). Reviewed by the Administrative Committee April
16, 1998.
ACTION: Reject proposal; or approve amendment to the zoning code and adopt
enclosed Ordinance on first reading or under suspension of the rules
requiring three complete readings.
6. Public Hearing - 8:20 p.m. - Ordinance Amending the Penalty for
Violation of the Zoning Code - Dale Pernula
The proposed amendment would remove the specific penalties currently
provided in the zoning code for violations in order to make the penalties
consistent with the remainder of the City Code. A public hearing was held
on this matter by the Planning and Zoning Commission March 11, 1998
(minutes enclosed). Reviewed by the Administrative Committee April 16,=
1998.
