The first item for discussion was the North Leverett Avenue Large Scale Development Plan of Walter S. Robinson, Jr. Large Scale Development to construct a 10 -unit apartment in the 1500 block of Leverett Avenue. After going over Plat Review Committee minutes, Mr. Jacks found that 10 feet of additional right-of-way was needed for Leverett Avenue (West side of the property.) Also a 10 foot easement on the North and South sides was needed for SWEPCO and Southwestern Bell Telephone and it had been requested. to control the drainage. After further discussion, the Subdivision Committee was ready to recommend to the Planning Commission the approval of this large scale development plan with the three contingencies that are mentioned above. PROPOSED AMENDMENT The Subdivision Committee went into a Large Scale Development Ordinance short discussion on the proposed amendment to the Large Scale Development Ordinance Mr. Jacks discussed whether or not the "non-residential" from Page 4, paragraphs (2) and (3) should be omitted. Planning Administrator Bobbie Jones said she interpreted "non-residential" to be anything other than a single-family residence as it pertained to these regulations. Mr. Jacks then pointed out some other items which he felt should be brought out at the Planning Commission meeting. They were as follows: PAGE 1, Paragraph 1 Wording which read " The Subdivision Committee shall consist of three members of the Planning Commission appointed by the Chairman of said Commission." He pointed out that the Planning Commission By-laws stated only that one of the members of the Planning Commission had to chair the committees. Bobbie Jones pointed out that at the last Planning Commission meeting that Jim Lindsey ("Task Force" Study Committee), said that the Board of Directors indicated at one of their meetings that the Subdivision Committee should consist of at least someone appointed by that elective body. PAGE 2, Paragraph 2 (e) Mr. Jacks pointed out that it should be defined which Subdivision Committee meeting they were talking about in this paragraph. There was also discussion on the blanks on Page 2 concerning the time limitations that should be set. PAGE 3, Paragraph (4) Mr. Jacks pointed out that there had been an omission of one of the paragraphs which stated that one of the reasons for disapproving a large scale development plan was the fact that City water and sewer service was not available, PAGE 3, Paragraph. (5) Mr. Jacks said there were several things omitted in this paragraph but felt that the City Attorney was trying to simplify the wording since he did refer back to the Subdivision Ordinance. • Subdivision Committee February 10, 1976 Bobbie Jones said she had talked with. City Engineer, Paul Mattke and. that he had pointed out the fact.that under the present .regulations,,,a. Cert ficate of Occupancy could be obtained.before.the streets and water. and sewer was,completed as long as a bond was posted. Mr. Mattke felt that occupancy should not be permitted until the water and sewer was completed. He also pointed out the following question: How could "as-builts" be submitted when this was not completed? Mr. Jacks felt that Mr. Mattke should be satisfied concerning this. There was no further discussion. The meeting was adjourned at 3:50 P. M.
