Utility
Representatives: Herbert Holcomb, David Tucker, Clyde Terry.
Developers & Engineers: John Box.
The first matter discussed was a large scale development plan for
Lot 5, Fred Holden Addition, submitted by Leon Edens. Mr. Edens
was not
present. Comments and suggestions were as follows:
�a/vin
1.
Luther Tharp, Sanitation Superintendent, was not present
but had informed Mr. Lieberenz there was a problem in -EDENS
providing sanitation service. With only a 20 ft. driveway L.S.Development
and parking, there is no way to turn the trucks around in Spruce Street
the parking lot. This would make it necessary to back the
(a,
trucks out, which is too dangerous especially with the slope
of Spruce Street. The property owner would either have to
put a lodal on the street or figure some other way to get
C
a truck in. The City ordinances say the sanitation employees
will not go past the back of the house that fronts on the street.
2.
Harold Lieberenz: If the houses were built on individual lots
•
they would have to be a minimum of 16 ft. apart (each house 8 ft. AREA M047
e
from the common property line). He felt these should also be 9E 'PAY e0
W
16 ft. apart; the plan only shows them 12 ft. 8 inches apart.
(n
Not enough street frontage for 60 ft. for each building, but
Q
believe the Planning Commission can handle that. Mr. Lieberenz
W
wanted to check the total lot area against the number of units
IL
proposed.

3.
Clyde Terry & David Tucker: No. problems.

4.
Herbert Holcomb: Existing power service down the East property
line of the lot to the West. Satisfactory.
5.
Clayton Powell: Need minimum 20 ft. radius on drives.
6.
Larry Wood: Suggested taking drive on down and around to future
street which would solve the trash pick up problem. Also,
suggested fronting one duplex on Spruce Street and reshift
location of others. Suggested might be time to improve
Vandeventer.
7. Paul Mattke: Desired more time to study, but Mr. Edens needs
to talk to him about water metering and sewer service. He also
suggested rearranging for better use of property.

The next matter discussed by the Committee was a large scale development
plan submitted by Dr. Edwin Whiteside to permit construction of another
medical building behind his office. John Box, Contractor, was present.
Mr. Lieberenz explained to the Committee that at first Dr. Whiteside DR. E. WHITESIDE
had wanted to sell this property but had encountered two problems: L.S.Development
(1) The rear portion of the property has no street frontage and there Highway 45 East
was not enough time to work with Mrs. Yoe who owns the property to the
South and West on a street. (2) Subdivision requirements. He said he
expected this to be presented with a street in the future. A very
lengthy discussion followed. Comments were as follows:
1. Herbert Holcomb: Already have power line part way down the
East property line. Requested 20 ft. utility easement down
the East property line to the South property line. Agreed to
prepare and execute easement if furnished the legal description
of the property.
2. David Tucker: Mr. Holcomb's request satisfactory.
3. Clyde Terry: No;problem.
4. Paul Mattke: No sewer service in there now, Mrs. Yoe is
bringing a sewer line up to her shopping center (proposed).
This could go into her sewer line, but Dr. Whiteside will
need to get an easement across her property to get into it
`or there would be nothing to prevent her from digging up his
line in the future, Her construction schedule should match
Dr. Whitesi.de's; her plans call for the sewer to be in next
spring.
Mr. Mattke was more concerned about water. The water pressure
is not very good there now. The Water Department will not put
a meter back near the building unless it is adjacent to a street.
They can run a long yard line from the highway and meter on the
highway. (Mr. Holcomb suggested the yard line could be placed
in the 20 ft. easement he requested.)
Also, there would be no coverage for fire protection. The
building would not get any benefit from the fire hydrant on
Highway 45 and the fire insurance rates would be very high,
as there would be a "Class 8 rating."
5. Larry Wood: Suggested working out street first (before
development) as it would be to their benefit.
6. Paul Mattke: The City needs a 50 ft, street dedication between
the two property owners, Mrs. Yoe and Dr. Whiteside, either all
on one property or divided between the two properties. Also,
the City needs an 8 -inch water line looped through from Highway 45
to Highway 265. He felt the two property owners should co-ordinate.
He again recommended Dr. Whiteside obtain an easement to cover
sewer from Mrs. Yoe. He did not recommend a septic tank except
• as an interim until public sewer is available.

Mr. Lieberenz asked Mr. Wood and Mr. Mattke what their opinion would be
if they were to show the overall plan with a street dedicated down and
run this through the Planning Commission as a large scale development.
Mr. Mattke felt either all the street should be dedicated by Mrs. Yoe,
or an easement given by Mrs. Yoe for half the street width and a
dedication for the other half of the street width by Dr. Whiteside at
this time. The latter would tie down the location of the street. Larry
Wood was concerned that the City might get into the position of having
to maintain the .driveway as a street in the future. Mr. Mattke's
recommendation was that the matter be tabled until the street question
could be resolved.
John Box said he had seen proposed plans of Mrs. Yoeb with a street along
Dr. Whiteside's West property line and a proposal for more offices to
the South of Dr. Whiteside also served by this street.
After lengthy discussion, the Committee more or less agreed to accept
the plan provided a letter of intention could be obtained from Mrs. Yoe
stating that a street is proposed along Dr. Whiteside's property.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:30 P.M.
