City Council Meeting Minutes January 5, 2016 Page 12 of 15 However, if needed, staff can direct the applicant to get professional help on a traffic control plan. Mayor Muckle agreed. Council member Loo felt the traffic control plan should be verified by a professional. She asked if Council member Stolzmann was suggesting the City's Traffic Engineer verify the traffic control plan. Council member Stolzmann stated if the City Traffic Engineer is reviewing it, it would not be appropriate to have a certified engineer submit the traffic control plan and it would not add value to the permit. Council member Loo asked if there are a lot of plans submitted that do not meet the Traffic Engineer's requirements. Public Relations Manager Muth explained about one third of the submittals meet the requirement and the balance do not. Council member Loo stated two thirds of non - compliance is a lot. She felt it would be more beneficial to the City to put the cost off to a certified traffic engineer. Mayor Muckle asked what a certified engineer's traffic control plan would cost. It was noted by a public member that the cost would be $100. Mayor Muckle supported the staff's recommendation on a certified traffic engineer's traffic control plan. Council member Loo addressed the issue of the decibel levels and preferred to have that matter come back for City Council review. She requested information about what other communities do about decibel levels. Her concern centered on having an ordinance that is not enforced. Public Relations Manager Muth stated she and Chief Hayes looked at ordinances from the cities of Boulder, Denver and Lafayette and staff's proposal is in line with those municipalities. Council member Loo asked if staff could inquire about the enforcement of theses ordinances. Mayor Muckle agreed more work was needed on the decibel levels if there is to be an enforceable ordinance. 1125 PINE STREET MINOR REPLAT 1.
