Chairman Ernest Jacks called the meeting to order. Keith Newhouse made a motion that the minutes of the November 22 MINUTES meeting be approved as mailed. Bill Kisor seconded the motion which was approved unanimously. There was no one present to represent the proposed Preliminary Plat of Brophy's Subdivision, so the Committee deferred review of this item until later in the meeting. Chairman Jacks opened discussion on the approval of the STEVE LAMM $ GENE BATES Large Scale Development Plan of Steve Lamm and Gene Bates Large Scale Development for property located south of Stone Street and East of Stone Street Sang Avenue; Steve Lamm and Gene Bates, developers. Chairman Jacks asked Bobbie Jones if all of the problems found at the Plat Review meeting of November 18 had been corrected. She said the plan was completely revised after the November 18 Plat Review Committee Meeting. Only the December 2 minutes apply. The driveway has been moved 121/2 feet from the west property line as requested on December 2 and the building has been moved five feet to the East. This plan now meets all of the conditions set up so there are no problems. Bill Kisor moved to approve the Large Scale Development Plan of Steve Lamm and Gene Bates. Keith Newhouse seconded the motion, which was approved unanimously, by a vote of 4-0. The next item for discussion was the approval of the Large Scale Development Plan for a professional office complex submitted by Drs. Floyd Harris and Thermon Crocker, located on the Northwest corner of Green Acres Road and Poplar Street; Drs. Harris and Crocker, developers. Chairman Jacks asked if they had met the requirement for the additional 5 feet of right- of-way on the North side of Poplar and the West side of Green Acres Road Bobbie Jones said they still have to dedicate this 5 feet but it is shown on the plan. Chairman Jacks noted that Larry Wood had requested screening on the north be waived and instead put screening on the West side. Bobbie Jones said the Board of Adjustment would have to waive this requirement on the north side. Larry Wood did not feel strongly enough about this to recommend to the Board of Adjustment that this be waived, but Dr. Harris said they would like to file an appeal to the Board of Adjustment anyway. Chairman Jacks asked Bobbie Jones if she had heard from the property owners to the West and she said "no". She also said she still needs proof that the property hasn't been split since June of 1970. Chairman Jacks asked if they had the problem with the drainage worked out. Attorney Burke said their clients didn't think this will be a problem since the property drains to the North. Bobbie Jones said Clayton Powell is satisfied with the way they are proposing to take care of the drainage problem on their own property. He told them if they wish to put underground drainage tiles and put in curb and gutter that he would widen the pavement to the curb and gutter. She said this is not a require- ment but it is something he will do. Mr. Grimes had said there has been a drainage problem there and he wanted them to be aware of it in case they would like to make provision for it. Dr. Harris said the water will be diverted to the North and then to the ditch on Green Acres Road. DRS. HARRIS AND CROCKER Large Scale Development Green Acres Rd. & Poplar • • • Subdivision Committee Meeting -2- December 13, 1976 Chairman Jacks said there is nothing the Subdivision Committee can require to be done about the drainage problem. He said the Board of Directors was concerned about the driveways on Poplar. He asked the Subdivision Members if they thought they should take this on to the Planning Commission. Keith Newhouse said they had discussed this before when the land was rezoned, and since they passed the rezoning, he felt this showed their agreement. Chairman Jacks asked what they are going to do for the Sanitation Department trucks to get in and Carl Russell said if they enlarge the radii to ease the turn then Wally Brt said he could make it on a 20 foot driveway. Chairman Jacks said this would be the developers' problem if they don't make the turn large enough for the trucks. Carl Russell said Wally Brt had told him he doesn't need a 30 foot driveway -- he just needs 30 feet to turn. He said the drive portion of the driveway, if built to standard street specifications (10 inches of crushed rock and 2 inches of asphalt) should hold the trucks. Bobbie Jones mentioned that the Fire Chief will also need 30 feet or his trucks will break the curb if he ever needs to go into the complex. Carl Russell said they had talked to Mr. Vandergriff, Superintendent of Schools, about driveways onto Poplar, and he doesn't think this will be any problem. The people may choose to loop back out to Green Acres if Poplar is congested. Jack Ray and Bill Kisor both agreed that this isn't a problem. Bill Kisor made a motion to approve the Large Scale Development Plan contingent on (1) the 5 feet right-of-way on Poplar and 5 feet right-of-way on Green Acres be dedicated, (2) notification of the property owners on the west, and (3) proof that this is a Lot of Record. Jack Ray seconded the motion, which was passed unanimously, by a vote of 4-0. Chairman Jacks opened discussion on the final item, BROPHY'S SUBDIVISION approval of the Preliminary Plat of Brophy's Preliminary Plat Subdivision, Parts of Blocks 3, 4 and 5, located N. of Township & E. of College North of Township Road and East of College Avenue; Ralph Brophy, Developer. Jim Vizzier was present to represent. Chairman Jacks asked Bobbie Jones if they show the street lights and sidewalks on the revised plat, and if the street lights are 300 feet apart. Mr. Vizzier said one street light is 400 feet. Bobbie Jones said the sidewalks are o.k. Swepco needed the existing easements shown on the plat and Mr. Vizzier said they have shown as many of these as they could find. Southwestern Bell needed to have 25 feet easements for an underground service and Jim Vizzier said this is shown. Chairman Jacks asked if they had named the street and Mr. Vizzier said they have. All easements, setbacks, and lots have been dimensioned. Chairman Jacks asked if they are planning to extend Westview Street to the West and Mr. Vizzier said because of the cost factor they are not planning to do this at this time. He said at this point, Mr. Brophy is not sure what he wants to do with that land north of the Subdivision. Larry Wood asked if he is going to stub out to the property to keep it open and Mr. Vizzier said "yes". Larry Wood said at least it would be open if he wants to use it, and as long as the street is accessible, they would be o.k. Bobbie Jones mentioned that Clayton Powell had said they would have some construction problems but it wouldn't be anything they couldn't work out. Bi11 Kisor questioned whether the Subdivision Committee had ever waived street lights to 400 feet on a Subdivision before and Ernest Jacks said they have. Bill Kisor moved to approve the Preliminary Plat of Brophy Subdivision contingent upon (1) waiving the one street light spacing to 400 feet; and (2) their showing the 40 feet right-of-way from the center line of Township Road. Keith Newhouse seconded the motion. Bobbie Jones asked if they have the problem with the sewer worked out and Jim Vizzier said "yes". The motion was passed unanimously, by a vote of 4-0. The meeting was adjourned at 5:02 P. M.
