Members Absent: Dr. Walter Brown. Others Present: Wesley Howe, Harold Lieberenz, Wells Bone, Jerry Sonderegger, Larry Wood, Ken Lazenby, Bill Graue, Paul Mattke, James Walker. Chairman Clark McClinton called the meeting to order. Item 1 on the agenda was the rezoning petition of Kelley Brothers Lumber & Supply for property located on the North side of Highway 71 By-pass and on the East side of Scull Creek from A-1, Agricultural District, to R-2, Medium Density Residential District. This was also related to Item 2, the preliminary plat of the proposed Centerbrook Subdivision located on the above property. Wells Bone with Kelley Brothers and Jerry Sonderegger with McGoodwin, Williams, & Yates represented the petition for rezoning. The subdivision plat shows the required service road for property along a controlled access highway. The staff i report was discussed. Mr. Bone was asked why they were requesting R-2, were duplexes planned on some of the lots? Mr. Bone said he thought R-1 would be adequate. Mr. Wood said that regarding his staff report the flood line of record is shown on the plat. He felt the engineer should calculate what flooding might be likely to occur with the full development of the drainage basin. Mr. Bone told Mr. Donaubauer there are 51 lots platted; he anticipates 51 structures. Mr. McClinton said he thought straightening and flood work on the creek should be worked out. Roy Clinton gave a report of the Subdivision Committee's findings. There were a few minor problems: 1. radii on streets, 2, request for an easement across the North of the property and to Johnson Road, 9, widening of one utility easement to 15 ft. Mr. Clinton moved that the Planning Commission approve the rezoning petition of Kelley Brothers Lumber & Supply to rezone to R-1 rather than the R-2 requested. Ernest Jacks seconded the motion. It was approved unanimously. KELLEY BROTHERS LUMBER Al Donaubauer moved that the Planning Commission approve the preliminary plat of the proposed Centerbrook Subdivision subject to the Board of Directors approval of the rezoning petition on file and subject to CENTERBROOK SUBD. changes recommended by the Committee. Al Witte seconded; it was Preliminary Plat .. - 10-6-70 -2- The next item before the Commission was the Final Plat of Sun Valley Addition located West of Old Wire Road and East of Butterfield qW Subdivision, Bill Graue, Developer. Mr. Graue was present. It was explained that the plat has been checked by the Plat Review Committee. The easements shown are only 10 feet, but the plat was started SUN VALIEY ADDITION processing prior to the adoption of the current subdivision Final Plat regulations. Drainage will be channeled between Sun Valley Addition and Butterfield Subdivision. Helen Edmiston moved that the Final Plat for Sun Valley Addition be accepted. Byron Boyd seconded the motion, and it was approved unanimously. The next item for discussion was a letter asking to withdraw the rezoning petition of Humble 011 & Refining Company for property located on the East side of Highway 71 and North of Stearns Road. Helen Edmiston moved that the Planning Commission accept the withdrawal; Byron Boyd seconded the motion; it was approved unanimously. Item 5 on the agenda was an informal plat to replat Lot 17, Block 1, Oakland Hills Addition. Eunice Rudolph desires to divide the lot at the northwest corner of Rolling Hills Drive and Sheryl Avenue into two lots. Neither the engineer nor the developer was present. Mr. Lieberenz explained that the street superintendent has requested a radius of at least 20 feet. The lots would be large enough to meet the minim,m, R-1 requirements. The main problem is the Major Street Plan. Rolling Hills Drive is shown as being an arterial (801) street in the future. The present width is 62.11, wide enough for a collector street, but lacking in width for an arterial. Larry Wood and Paul Mattke had questioned the wisdom of widening this street. Mr. Wood summarized his memo to the Planning Commission recommending that the Major Street Plan be amended to show Rolling Hills Drive as a collector. He stressed: HUMBLE OIL & REFINING CO. I Highway 71 North REPIAT OF LOT 17, BLOCK 1, OAKLAND HILLS ADDITION (Informal Plat) 1. Present development of much of the street for residential purposes. 2. Township Road to the South and Joyce Street to the North also shown as arterial. 3. The probability of extending encroachment of commercial uses into the residential sector if this were made a major street. 4. Unless additional ROW were obtained, this could become a Major street operating at sub -standard widths. 10-6-70 -3- Paul Mattke agreed with Mr. Wood. He stated he thought the problem was actually one of understanding terms, He reminded the Planning Commission that an arterial street is one such as Highway 71 North at 5:00 P.M.He thought the street should remain a collector, Mr. McClinton stated he also agreed and admitted he had become confused about the terms when this was being considered. Mrs. Edmiston moved that the Planning Commission accept the informal plat. The motion died for lack of a second. Roy Clinton stated he felt the surrounding property owners should be notified on informal plats and lot splits, Al Witte questioned the future development of Township Road as an arterial street. He felt removing Rolling Hills Drive from the Major Street Plan as an arterial street was premature without further study. Roy Clinton said he had felt the Major Street Plan should be used as a guideline and not a hard and fast rule. He felt it should be flexible. Dr. Mashburn arrived at the meeting at 4:55 P.M. Mr. Howe asked whether this plat could be approved with the admission that Rolling Hills Drive may or may not be an arterial street in the future? Couldn't the 20 ft. radius be required? Dr. Mashburn stated he thought that due to terrain and location the street would develop as a major street, anyway. Roy Clinton moved that in the future the Planning Commission require that on requests for lot splits and presentation of informal plats that surrounding property owners be notified as on regular subdivision plats, and include this plat. Ernest Jacks seconded the motion; it was approved unanimously. The property owners are to be notified and the Commission will take action on this plat at the next meeting. Item 6 on the agenda was an easement problem on the informal plat for Lazenby's 3rd Addition, Mr. Lieberenz stated the LAZENBY'S THIRD ADDITION problem was due to an oversight of his. In checking with the Informal Plat utilities regarding easements after the August 18 meeting, he had failed to check with Mr. Mattke on water and sewer requirements, After the mylar was prepared, Mr. Mattke was hesitant to sign it, as he felt the North-South easement was necessary. Mr. Mattke explained that the easement would be necessary to serve the property to the South with sewer if it should ever be developed. This is due to the fall of the land. This was discussed thoroughly. Mr. Lazenby said the utility companies had all told him that the easement across the back of the.lots would not be necessary. Ernest Jacks moved that the plat be approved and that the easements on the South side of these 3 lots be removed and an easement of * be established along the West side of Lot No. 3, Roy Clinton seconded; it was approved unanimously. Mr. Lazenby was agreeable to this. Mr. Mattke volunteered to have the City Drafting Dept, make the necessary corrections. 106-70 -4- Item 7 was a public hearing to consider amending Ordinance 1747 AMEND ORDINANCE 1747 -Ah to permit a less cumbersome way of correcting the official zoning map ,.. also to add marine had been published in the paper.

The Major Street Plan shows Township Road extended to HighwAy 265 ' as an arterial street. Mro Winborn had a plat approved to subdivide subdivisionproperty just South of the Township line. Township Road extended (centerline) would run along the North boundary of this and ruin 4 lots, Mr. Lieberens said the City Attorney has said he feels the only relief would be to give the full • feet right of way and appeal to the Board of Adjustment for a variance on the 25 ft. setback. Otherwise a building obtained,permit might not be James Walker owns the property to the North of Winborn. He said he might be willing to give 30 or 40 feet for street purposes, but not the full 80 feet. Several Planning Commission members felt it would be difficult to develop Township Road as an arterial street due to terrain. Roy Clinton asked for a written opinion from the City Attorney on the legal standing of the Major Street Plan. Mr. Lieberenz suggested a committee be appointed to study this and consider the possibility of reducing some of the street widths. Mr. McClinton said he would appoint such a committee and asked that Larry Wood be asked to give recommendations on arterial and collector streets, both North and South, and East and West.
