DON BUNN - CITY ENGINEER
In response to a question from Mr. Bunn, Mr. Gray explained they
would be starting the first phase this year and the other phases
would be determined by sales and the market.
Mr. ,Bunn explained that all of the easements asked for would need
to be shown on the final plat of Phase I. He further explained the
plat was showing a six-inch line into the four -inch for the water
line. He stated he would like them to use eight -inch instead of
the six-inch. He also pointed out they would need to request a
waiver from the Planning Commission on the length of the cul-de-sac
since it appeared it was over 500 feet.
Mr. Bunn stated they would ask for a Bill of Assurance on
improvements to Ed Edwards Road on the part that was adjacent to
the subdivision.
He explained that the zoning ordinance indicates that tandem lot
approval should only be for areas where it is not practicable to
subdivide because the terrain does not lend itself to a
subdivision. He also requested a preliminary grading plan for
Phase I.
BECKY BRYANT - PLANNING DIVISION
Ms. Bryant agreed with Mr. Bunn regarding tandem lots. She
explained they could only have tandem lots if there was a
particular terrain problem. She stated she liked the design of the
project. She suggested an access easement to the south for future
development. She also suggested setting the sidewalks back to the
right-of-way line.
MICKEY JACKSON - FIRE DEPARTMENT
Mr. Jackson stated the hydrant located at Cattail Court would be
better at the intersection. He further stated they would need two
additional hydrants in Phase III - one at Milo Way and Ed Edwards
Road and one between lots 70 and 71.
PERRY FRANKLIN - TRAFFIC DIVISION
In response to a question from Mr. Franklin, Mr. Gray stated he had
not checked with Jim Johnson on the street names but Mr. Johnson
did have a copy of the plat.
