She also noted there had been a question as to whether the line was a 12 -inch line. She stated that, while there was a fire hydrant on Highway 62, it was across the highway from the subject site. She explained Chief Jackson had been fearful of trying to fight a fire with the hydrant across the highway and had suggested the hydrant to the south.

TIM JOHNSON - WARNER CABLE Mr. Johnson pointed out there was a pole line running along the east side of the property and across the front. He requested the easement be shown on the plat. He asked if the utility easement was in the proposed right-of-way dedication. He stated the utility easements had to be shown on the plat in order to determine whether they were in the right-of-way.

PERRY FRANKLIN - TRAFFIC DIVISION In response to a question from Mr. Franklin, Mr. Hennelly explained the pavement width was not uniform because they wanted to keep vehicles from cutting through the bank property from Salem Road. Mr. Franklin stated he did not believe reducing the pavement would solve the problem. Mr. Hennelly explained the entrance would be to Highway Department specifications and would remain the same location. He stated they had planned on narrowing the paving from the entry. Ms. Little stated staff had discussed making the entry one-way which might solve the problem. She also asked if street lights were required on Salem Road.

She pointed out part of the entryway was on the adjacent owner's property. She explained that, if the adjoining property owner was not developing at the present time, the bank would have to show the off-site right-of-way. She stated the City would work with them if they were unable to obtain the adjoining right-of-way. She also advised they could just curb the west side of the entry and pave to their property line.

He also advised he would need a preliminary grading plan and drainage plan. He asked that the water service be shown on the plat. He advised there was a water line easement along the front of the property which • • • Plat Review Meeting March 9, 1995 Page 5 needed to be shown on the plat. He asked why the right-of-way was only 40 feet instead of 50 feet. Mr. Hennelly explained there was a drainage ditch at the location. Mr. Conklin pointed out there was an adjacent 30 acres which would be developed in the near future. Ms. Little stated that, in a normal 50 -foot right-of-way, there was 10 feet on either side for utilities. She pointed out the north side was completely developed and staff had assumed they would not need 10 feet on that side. Mr. Bunn advised either the street would have to be constructed or the developer would have to make a cash contribution toward the construction of the street. He also pointed out a half street and stated the same conditions applied to it. Ms. Little further noted the city had been collecting money to extend Salem Road to the north to Mt. Comfort Road which included the cost of a bridge. Mr. Bunn also noted there would need to be a cash contribution for a signal at the intersection of Salem and Highway 16. He further advised there would also be a requirement for a cash contribution toward the improvement of the sewer lift station. He explained that most of the time water and sewer were extended in dedicated right-of-ways. He advised there was a possibility the city would ask for an easement for the water and sewer. He also asked that the nearest fire hydrant be shown on the plat. MICKEY JACKSON - FIRE CHIEF Chief Jackson advised a hydrant would be needed at the southwest corner and another toward the northern portion of the development. Ms. Little stated the adjacent property owners needed to be listed on the plat and notification would have to be made prior to the Subdivision Committee meeting. She also noted the dumpster location would have to be coordinated with Cheryl Zotti, Solid Waste Coordinator. In response to a question from Mr. Bunn, Chief Jackson stated a hydrant would not be necessary if only Phase I was being built. • • • Plat Review Meeting March 9, 1995 Page 6 PRELIMINARY PLAT - BOIS D'ARC SUBDIVISION JULIAN ARCHER - S OF CLEVELAND, E OF SANG The next item was a preliminary plat for Bois d'Arc Subdivision submitted by Tom Hennelly, Jorgensen & Associates, on behalf of Julian Archer for property located south of Cleveland, east of Sang.

Mr. Hennelly asked if they would be allowed to have one-way traffic on each side of the island. Ms. Little stated she would agree with that but believed the island needed to be elongated on the end so a motorist would not have a difficult time in knowing when he was approaching the island. Mr. Hennelly explained the shape allowed the residents of Lots 5 and 6 a wider area to turn. Mr. Franklin suggested a cross -hatch could be painted on the island to alert motorists. He pointed out there would be only local traffic in the subdivision. Mr. Hennelly stated the street snaked through the subdivision at the request of the developer. He asked the minimum radius. Mr. Franklin pointed out the design would eliminate any on -street parking. In response to a question from Mr. Bunn, Mr. Hennelly stated there would be subdivision covenants. Mr. Bunn requested the covenants address on -street parking. He further noted there were some geometrical standards which would have to be met together with sight distance requirements.

He further stated a preliminary grading plan was also required for the entire site and a preliminary drainage report for the site. He noted there was established drainage on both the south and east sides of the tract. He advised he did not want a drainage ditch at the back which would interfere with utilities and adjoining lots. He went on to say that, on the street plans, the developer might have to dedicate more than 50 feet of right-of-way to accommodate some back slopes. He also reminded the developer the water and sewer lines needed to be put in at sufficient depth on the slopes so that driveways, etc. would not interfere with the lines. Ms. Little stated the city had adopted a policy that the entire right-of-way had to be at grade. Mr. Bunn further noted the developer would need to construct one-half of Sang Street to city street standards. He stated he believed Cleveland Street already met city street standards.
