regulations, including either constructing or posting a bond for the
construction of Happy Hollow with 31 ft. of pavement back of curb to back
of curb, and installation of storm drainage. Clayton stated there is a
natural drainage ditch running across Lots 4 and 5, and it carries a
considerable amount of water off the hillside to the West. He stated that
if the natural drainage is rechanneled, he recommends concrete lined
drainage ditches on every lot line, or storm drainage. The drainage must
exit this subdivision at the same point the natural drainage exited if
it is rerouted. These drainage easements must be dedicated.
Mr. Mathias stated he plans to leave the existing drainage as it
is so it will stay with the creek. Clayton stated in this case, the
future property owners should be made aware that there is a natural drainage
ditch across their property. This will be noted on the plat.
2. Larry Poage (City Fire Inspector) A fire hydrant will be required at the
corner of 4th Street and Happy Hollow Road.
3. Dennis Burrack (SWEPCO): Burrack stated that this subdivision is split

SWEPCO's territory includes that part of the subdivision starting 10 ft.
North of the North lot line of Lot 5 and extending to the Northern boundary
of the subdivision, including most of Lot 6.
The subdivision is not of sufficient size to warrant underground service.

the Planning Commission sees fit not to require any improvements to Ray Avenue,
redesignate as a street easement not subject to City maintenance until improved to

as an arterial street. He felt that it should be known that the owner of the
lot South of Lot 5 was the same owner as the developer of this subdivision.

and felt that in the future, both the name of the builder and the actual owner
should be included on the building permit.

built on the right-of-way. He said he would provide the radius, but he
does not own the land either side of the drive.
