1.
Subdivision, outside
Jimmy Crownover
Comments and LIERLY SUBDIVISION
Preliminary Plat
Outside City
uacx nnitting: uzarxs Ltectric has a line along the North
of the property along the County Road. With the lots 305 fte
deep, they cannot give overhead service from the easements
along the backs of the lots if the houses are built on the
front of the lots. Requested an easement be provided along
the fronts of the lots. Mentioned possibility of going
underground,
2. Clyde Terry: Nearest service about 10 miles from this area.
3. Paul Mattke: No City water- and sewer and probably will be
about 10 years before there will be any. How are you planning
to serve sewer and water: Mr. Lierly said it would be individual
wells and septic tanks. He has a meeting June 1 to attend on
water development for this area and surrounding properties.
4. Clayton Powell: Stated he had proposed several months ago
that any subdivision within the Planning Area jurisdiction
develop subdivision streets according to street specifications
as they would be inside City limits. Otherwise, if we go
with rural street specifications contained in the subdivision
regulations, the right-of-way of Lierly Land and Weir County
Road should be 80 ft. and Velma should be 60 ft. Turn radii
should be 30 ft. on minor streets. A drainage plan should
have been presented with the preliminary drawings. Need
tile for each driveway at each lot. If the Planning Commission
continues torgoEalong with unpaved streets within the Planning
Area, Mr. Powell stated he would want at least those minimum
standards met (60 ft. ROW on Velma; 80 ft. ROW on Weir and
Lierly; 30 ft. radii; and tile at each driveway on.each street).
JinrV Crownover said he thought Lierly Lane already has a 50 ft.
ROW existing,
5. Harold Lieberenz: Asked whether they had run perc tests; they
• have not, they submitted thevletter on the basis of the type
of soil there and past experience. Mr. Lieberenz asked if

they could get 100 ft. separation of water and sewer on
lots 6 through 10 on Lierly Lane. He and Mr. Crownover
discussed the State's proposed regulations to come into
effect June 10. Mr. Crownover said they were depending
on rural water district before the smaller lots develop.

Mr. Lieberenz reviewed with Mr. Crownover past subdivisions
processed outside the City as to requirements the Planning
Commission had made on certification of the lots suitability
for septic tanks and street improvements required. He noted
that the subdivision regulations require that lots having
both wells and septic tanks have a minimum lot area of
202000 sq. ft. Lots 6 through 10 are not that large.
6! David Tucker: (Arrived late) Plat okay as drawn.
The next matter discussed was the proposed large scale development
plan for a Minute Man on West Dickson Street. Bryce Davis and
Bob Burban were present to represent the proposal. Comments and
requirements were as follows:
1. Herbert Holcomb: Have existing service up the North side
of the alley or drive and can serve the proposed building
from that point. Not sure if it is a legal alley, probably
just there by use; been there since 1928.
2. Clyde Terry: No problems.
3. Paul Mattke: Think there is a sewer line in the alley that
comes up to the West property line. Would prefer to serve
from the alleyway, to avoid having to cut Dickson Street,
MINUTE MAN
Dickson St.
L.S.Development
4. Harold Lieberenz: Any can washers or something like that?
The City frowns on washing them outside *4�this causes
health problems with the County Sanitarian and hazards with
motorists. Check with Bill Parette on can washing facilities.
Watson Street is a very narrow street. Is there a large
radius to turn out there? Will the developer make any
improvements? No on both counts.
Discussed with Mr. Burban the existing and proposed sign
regulations and told him the sign as presented would require
a variance under either regulations. Asked if East walls
would be solid brick or would there be windows in them. Only
an exit door.
5. Clayton Powell: Campbell Avenue has only 23 ft. ROW; requested
additional 131 ft. Dickson Street has 55 ft. ROW; requested
2J ft, to meet Major Street Plan. Mr. Powell thought Dickson
should be 80 ft. on the Major Street Plan. Asked that swales
direct drainage coming out of parking lot into a box culvert)
with a grille cover over it to keep drainage out of Dickson
Driveways are 46 ft. including radii; they should be no more
than 40 ft, in width. Retaining walls can be built on the

t
property line with the approval of the City Engineer; !otherwise,
it would have to be set back 2 ft. Mr. Powell suggested they
go along with the 2 ft. setback.
i
Mr. Burban said they need the retaining wall because their
parking lot will not be the same elevation of the property
next to it and they don't want cars dropping over the edge.
6. David Tucker: Service in this area on Dickson Street. Would
prefer to put in underground which would require a 1 inch
plastic pipe out of the building and to Dickson Street.
Otherwise, no problems.
The last matter discussed was a large scale development for a
proposed expansion of the Doctors Building on Spring and Locust.
There were no representatives of the proposal present. Comments
and requirements were as follows:
DOCTORS BUILDING CORP.I
Spring St. & Locust
1. David Tucker: There are a lot of problems involved with
Urban Renewal on this. Mr. Tucker stated he had met with
the architects several times, but still does not have a
solution. The plot plan itself is fine, but the telephone
company must replace its facilities on Meadow, Church and
Locust.
Everyone present discussed with David Faught,.Assistant Executive
Director of the Housing Authority, the problems each faced with the
Urban Renewal and also the effect their problems had on this proposal.
Mr. Faught suggested the parking lots should be sloped to their
center, then put in grate inlets, and put all 'surfacer. water into
storm drains.
2. Clayton Powell: Grade parking lots into storm drains and
into proposed storm drains. The City has to put in a 60
inch storm drain; will go with a box culvert if possible
or possibly two, one on each side. Will need additional
right-of-way on Church Street (10 ft.) and on Locust (5 ft.).
Need to properly drain entire parking areas into storm sewer
instead of having a slotted curb.
3. Harold Lieberena: Major Street Plan requires widening of
Church Street 10 ft, on each side and Locust Street 5 fto
on each side. Off street parking should be located 25 ft*
off streets and screened and 5 ft. off South property line.
4. David Faught: Urban Renewal requires either a 12 ft, landscaped
area or a 6 ft, decorative architectural screen betweencthis_.�%
and adjacent residential areas,
Notify of any building permit applications, rezonings, or
Board of Adjustment appeals in the Urban Renewal area.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:40 P.M.
