Present: Bobbie Jones, Clayton Powell, Harold Lieberenz.
Utility Representatives Present: Clyde Terry, Herbert Holcomb, Frank O'Donnell.
Developers and/or Engineers: Wade Bishop.
For discussion at this meeting was the proposed Final Plat of Bishop Final Plat of
Addition, Unit 1 submitted by Wade Bishop. Comments were as follows: BISHOP ADDITION
Unit 1
1. Herbert Holcomb: Requested that since this is the first phase
and that there will be future phases, they go ahead and show the
easement down the West side of Unit 1 as a 25 ft. easement,
picking up the 122 ft. easement that will be on the second
phase. This will make it easier to separate the gas, power,
and communications. Three-phase power is available at the
North end of the subdivision for the sewer lift for Paul
Mattke's convenience.
2. Clyde Terry: No problems.
3. Frank O'Donnell: We have adequate distributuon lines at the
Northease corner of Block 5 and this is where we would enter the
subdivision, then extend South to serve this immediate area and
extend on West for future service. In the event you want the
whole thing piped at one time, then we would have to enter into
a paid situation where we would reimburse you as meters came on
service over a 3 -year period after we had piped it.
4. David Tucker: Not present, but had called and said everything
is okay on this plat.
5. Clayton Powell: Since I received the original street engineering
plans and profiles, I rendered my comments on the entire subdivision.
I have not received any amended engineering plans and profiles.
There is no provision whatsoever for any drainage in.the subdivision
and there are numerous points where water will collect and stand.
Mr. Powell originally requested that Bishop Drive be completed all
the way to the West perimeter of the entire subdivision at this time,
rather than doing it in segments as the different units of the sub-
division is developed. After talking to Mr. Bishop Mr. Powell said
he would accept finishing Bishop Drive to the West end of this unit
if the street will be completed to the property perimeter in the
next segment, . and if he will barricade the end of Bishop at the
West end of this unit until he develops the second segment. This is to
keep people from driving off the end of the street and out into the
field. Once they establish the habit of doing this and the area is
beaten down, the people try to get the City Street Department to
maintain it for a turn around.
On Bishop Drive, the plans show a low point at Station 6+25 which
is currently on Unit 1 the termination point of Bishop Drive.

On Richwood Street we have a low point at the intersection of
Bishop Drive and Richwood Street (Station Oi-00) and then there
is another break in the elevation where it runs back to the South
at Station 7+00. All the other streets are the same. He is not
presenting them for development at this time, but we may as well get
them corrected too.
Charolis has a low point at Station 7+50 with no provision for
drainage. The North end of Charolis is the lowest point on the street.
There is no provision for a drainage outlet on either of these streets
---Little Jon, Charolis, or Richwood. On Charolis the lowest point
is on the North end of the street. We will have to crank in some storm
drainage on these streets.
The Planning Commission and Board of Directors have re-emphasized
and reaffirmed the requirement for sidewalks. Sidewalks will be
required
From the South end of all three streets it is 936 ft. to the inter-
section. Seven Hundred feet is the maximum length for on the street
drainage. We will have to storm drain from 200 ft. South of Bishop
Drive since all three streets drain to the North to Bishop Drive
and then Bishop Drive drains back to the East. It may be possible
to storm drain Bishop Drive to the East on out to the borrow ditches
on Appleby Road, but with these low spots in the center of the
subdivision, I don't know where it will go. Richwood is okay, but
we have a low point on Charolis right in the center of the block.
The maximum length for a dead-end street is supposed to be 500 ft.;
with Richwood 900+ in length, the Planning Commission will need to
vary that requirement if they approve of this.
On the South perimeter of the property, they have left a 30 ft.
strip for a future street, but it is not annotated as such.
Richwood Street is not drawn to reflect the extension of the
street to the North property line (right-of-way). Also, Appleby
Road is only 40 ft. in right-of-way. I think we originally requested
5 ft. to widen Appleby Road. I don't see that dedication reflected.
Mr. Bishop said that he would discuss the low spot on the street with
his engineer. He said he knew Mr. Powell wouldn't have it and he
didn't want it either.
6. Bobbie Jones: Certification for water & sewer systems should be
signed by the City Water & Sewer Superintendent; certification for
streets should be signed by the City Engineer; omit "Acting' by
City Clerk title. The City Manager has written a letter to the
Chairman of the Planning Commission requesting the Commission enforce
the requirement for street lighting.
Herbert Holcomb said in the past the City's policy on street lights
has been to have a light on all intersections and somewhere near
250 to 300 ft. spacing elsewhere. He suggested they plan for one
between Lots 16 and 17 and another between Lots 20 and 21 and one
on the corner of Lot 13, all in Block 3. One can be placed on an
existing pole at the intersection of Bishop Drive and Appleby Road.

7. Harold Lieberenz: What about the turn radii on the intersection of
Bishop Drive and Appleby Road? Mr. Powell said one is needed on the
Northwest corner of this intersection.
Richwood will have to be either a "drive", "lane", or "avenue".
There is a City ordinance to the effect that "streets" run East-West
and "avenues" run North-South.
Mr. Lieberenz reviewed the terms of the subdivider's contract if
Mr. Bishop chooses this form of guarantee in lieu of required
improvements.
