No problems. 7. Bobbie Jones (Planning Administrator): Show the total number of units and how many bedrooms in each unit. Show the parking, and note that it will be paved parking. Show the total density and the uses by acreage. Dimension the setbacks and show the width of the drive. Dimension the distance between buildings where they are pretty close. Robert Windham said he could not give exact dimensions, since they are not sure what plans they,lwill use for each building, but he would show a maximum distance. Bobbie Jones said to put a note on the plat that these buildings indicate the maximum size. Put a note on the plat that they do not indicate the exact size or configuration of the buildings. Show existing rights-of-way for all three streets. Bobbie Jones said she thought Multi -Properties had dedicated an additional 8 feet right of way on Starr Drive. She said he would need to work with the power company on the easement which they have next to Starr Drive. Show any existing easements. Bobbie Jones felt they may have to adjust some of the buildings after they show the 8 feet additional right of way on Starr Drive. She stated that some of the parking may need to be relocated on two of the buildings. The covenants will need to be amended to cover the additional property.:.,.-. The Planning Commission has the authority to require up -grading of Starr Drive. Jerry Sweetser said the previous:owners had been required to upgrade Starr Drive when the original Sequoyah Woods plat was brought in. Jerry Sweetser said this is a county road and the original owners had given money for the maintenance of this. Street Superintendent Clayton Powell indicated he did not feel this property owner should be required to upgrade Starr Road since it was required of the original developer. Bobbie Jones said to designate the private drives as "private roads". A sign saying "private road" should be put on each private road The private road is shown as 25 feet,-- 20 feet is required, built to City standards and with approved drainage plans. Bobbie Jones noted that there is a section in the ordinance which states that any road connecting one or more public streets must be built to City standards. She thought this may apply to this subdivision. Jerry Sweetser said he did not feel this was the intent of the ordinance. Clayton Powell said he felt these would be "driveways" rather than "streets". Clayton Powell said he did not feel the Planning Commission should impose PUD standards on this since it will be a privately owned apartment.complex. Bobbie Jones said the lots would have to meet PUD requirements so they could be individually owned if Mr. Sweetser ever wanted to sell them. She said they would have to file a final subdivision plat. A PUD is the only basis for multiple units in R-1. A r Plat Review Committee Meeting March ,2U, 1978 -4- 31 L Bobbie Jones said if the Planning Commission did not want a through street, they could build a cul-de-sac. Jerry Sweetser pointed out that the Planning Commission has already given approval to a through street on the original proposal. He pointed out that it would really be two accesses into the apartment complex, one from Cherokee Drive, and one from Starr Drive. Bobbie Jones asked for a revision by Monday, April 3, in order to go to the Planning Commission on April 10. The only other item for consideration was the REGENCEY NORTH preliminary plat.:of Regency North Subdivision, Wade Bishop located north and east of Appleby Road. No one was present representing the developer so the utility companies asked that this be tabled until the next meeting so they could.talk to the developer. They did note that they would not need the 20 foot north/south easement shown on the east.:side of Block 3 --they would use the 60 foot gas easement. The power:Company also noted that there are no easements shown for the street lights. He requested a 5 foot easement on either side of the lot lines where street lights are shown.
