RANDY ALLEN - STREET DEPARTMENT
Mr. Allen requested a copy of the drainage plan. He noted there was an easement
on lot 37 showing a concrete swale. He asked if that was coming off the railroad
property and then onto Dawn Circle. He asked what happened to the drainage at
that point.

Mr. Allen stated that could create problems in the winter. He further stated he
would prefer to see the drainage underground, if possible. He also noted on lot
16 there was a 10 foot drainage easement and 15 foot utility easement. He stated
10 feet was too narrow and would prefer a minimum of 20 feet. He advised there
had been problems in the past when there were drainage and utility easement
adjoining because there was not enough room to work on the drainage easement.
Mr. Bunn stated they did need to separate the drainage and utility easements and
show which portion was for the drainage easement. He also requested a drainage
easement in the floodway portion of Skull Creek.

PERRY FRANKLIN - TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT
Mr. Franklin advised the applicants had requested non-standard street lights for
the subdivision and there had been attempts to draw up agreements but they had
never reached an agreement. He stated he wanted standard street lights in the
subdivision. He explained the applicant had proposed the POA would own and
maintain the street lights and pay the electric bill but nothing had ever been
executed.
Mr. Jorgensen stated he thought that had been agreed to. He stated he would talk
to the applicants.
Mr. Franklin stated the applicants also wanted to put non-standard street markers
in the subdivision. He advised he was opposed to that due to emergency service
personnel being able to identify a street.
He expressed concern that, should this subdivision be allowed to have non-
standard lights and signs, they would end up with POA's all over town who had
agreed to maintain the equipment. He stated the POA could easily flop and the
City would end up owning the lights in 5 years. He further stated the applicants
could have done this development as a P.U.D. and would have owned everything.
He further advised any such agreement would need to go to the City Council for
their approval.
Ms. Little stated she would like to have the agreement in hand before taking the
plat to the Planning Commission.
Mr. Crownover requested additional easements for the street lights.
In response to a question from Mr. Bunn, Mr. Jorgensen advised the water and
sewer was in and the street was cut to grade.

He advised they would be willing to share the easement as long as everyone stayed.
10 feet off of the line.
MICKEY JACKSON - FIRE DEPARTMENT
Chief Jackson advised that, at the preliminary plat stage, he had thought there
had been discussion regarding access to the north.
Me. Little stated such access had been suggested for the circulation for
emergency vehicles. She further stated she had recalled the applicants proposing
an outlet to the north in lieu to providing right-of-way to the south. After
reading the plat review meeting minutes for the preliminary plat, she advised
that matter had not been approved.
PERRY FRANKLIN - TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT
Mr. Franklin requested a letter from the electric company stating they would not
maintain any non-standard street lights.
Mr. Regal, SWEPCO, noted they would not have parts to repair non-standard street
lights.

had with the city.
Mr. Franklin advised all street markers, etc. would be installed according to
city standards.
DARRELL RITCHEY - POST OFFICE
Mr. Ritchey asked about location of the sidewalks.
Mr. Jorgensen advised there was a possibility of sidewalks along Old Missouri

be put on the outside of the fence.

Mr. Bunn advised the sidewalk should be completed along with the other
subdivision improvements.
TIM CONKLIN - PLANNING DEPARTMENT

RANDY ALLEN - STREET DEPARTMENT
Mr. Allen asked if there was a drainage plan.
Mr. Jorgensen explained that, when the preliminary plat had been approved, the
grading and drainage ordinance had not been in effect. He stated there was a
grading and drainage plan incorporated with the plat. He reviewed the drainage
path.
Mr. Allen asked if improvements included storm sewers and curb and gutter along
Old Missouri.
Mr. Bunn stated the requirement was to give the right-of-way and then improve the
ditch. He advised that, since they were not using Old Missouri as an access,
improvements were not required. He stated the applicants were improving drainage
at the intersection so the drainage would not over -top Old Missouri Road.
Mr. Allen suggested an underground system. He further stated he would prefer to
collect all of the drainage in the subdivision and then bring it down rather than
have it sheet flow.
Ms. Little recalled there were at least 2 neighboring property owners across Old
Missouri Road expressing concern about the drainage.
Mr. Jorgensen advised the biggest problem was that the ditches had contained
gravel, construction debris, etc. so the run-off could not go down the ditch.
He advised he would get in touch with Mr. Allen.

not have it in the subdivision but provide access to it.

the street names.

minimum of 40 feet from intersection to curb cut. He suggested just having one
curb cut onto Highway 16 (entrance only) with the exit to be on Marvin.

the building back 98 feet to prevent stacking on Wedington and blocked
visibility.

would have to install an additional pole.

Mr. Bunn advised the average street grade for the first 300 feet greater than
10%.
Mr. Allen stated they had recently chip and sealed the roadway but doubted it
would hold up under construction vehicles.
Mr. Bunn stated the city normally required the developer to improve half of the
street but, in this instance, the street was all on the developer's property.
He stated he was not sure what the city could do. He stated he believed the most
the city could require was that half of the street be brought up to city street
standards. He advised they were probably be talking about concrete and it
appeared going down Hillside Terrace Circle was also 10% grade. He noted some
of the options they could look at included requiring improvements to the entire
street, to city standards, in an amount that would not exceed the cost of
improvement of half of the street. He advised he did not know if that was a
possibility in this case. He also noted the City might be able to put some money
with the developers to'improvement the entire street. He stated if the grades
were greater than 10% there was no choice but to use concrete.
