Next was the approval of the Preliminary Plat of Amrita Acres AMRITA ACRES located West of the intersection of Old Wire Road Preliminary Plat and Highway 45 East, Dr. John Andre, developer. Old Wire Road F, Hwy. 45 East Dr. John Andre, Saieed Noorbakhsh, and Lamar Pettus were present to represent. Chairman Jacks asked if the additional right-of-way is shown on both roads. Mr. Noorbakhsh said they have given four feet additional right-of-way on Old Wire Road which makes it 30 feet total right-of-way from the centerline, and an additional 10 feet on Mission which makes it a total of 40 feet right-of-way from the centerline. Bobbie Jones said this is adequate. Chairman Jacks asked if the sewer easement has been worked out. Dr. Andre said the City Engineer is supposed to check into this and if one is needed, they will give it. The gas easement is shown as required. Dr. Andre said Warner Cable is going to go on the pole with the Electric Company. He said the Electric Company will be coming in from two places, and Warner Cable is satisfied with the same easement as the electric company has. Mr. Noorbakhsh said they are showing two street lights. Jerry Bird, whose parents own the property to the north said they are concerned with the placement of the street. He said his parents home will be located about 10 feet from the proposed drive. Dr. Andre said he had talked with Street Superintendent Clayton Powell and the problem is getting the safest access to the property. He said Clayton Powell felt the only place to put the street was in line with the exit lane coming off Mission onto Old Wire Road from the East, which is in line with the north side of the property. Mr. Bird asked about the drainage problem. He said the road will be above his parents' property. He said he doesn't know if there will be room to put adequate drainage in the one -foot setback between the road and the property line on the north side. Dr. Andre said the placement of the drive will be determined by Joe Fritz. He said Mr. Bird would not have to be concerned about the drainage. It will be a north/south slope on the drive --the drainage will go into the ditch where the culvert is. Dr. Andre said there will not be any under- ground utilities. The power poles will be placed in the one foot setback on the north side of the drive. Jerry Bird said his parents are also concerned about the street surface. They are concerned about what will happen in the future as far as maintenance of the road. He asked if all the property owners would have to go together to pave and maintain the road. Chairman Jacks said they will have a joint responsibility. Mr. Bird said his parents are concerned that in the future the dome home Dr. Andre is proposing to build will be a model home. Mr. Bird questioned if it would be used as a permanent display and generate more traffic. He said the drive will have the character of commercial traffic rather than just the four -party traffic. Lamar Pettus said that if Dr. Andre uses this as a continuous model, the Birds will have a legal recourse. Mr. Bird said his parents are also concerned about the location of the street lights, but he was satisfied when he was shown where they were shown on the plat. Mr. Noorbakhsh explained that the drainage will be to the south and there will be curb and gutter on the south side of the drive. Keith Newhouse said this will take care of the drainage. Bobbie Jones said there should be a sidewalk on the lots adjoining a public street (the East side of Lots 1 and 2). Chairman Jacks said they would take it on to the Planning Commission noting that the sewer easement be worked out to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and the sidewalk be shown along the East edge of Lots 1 and 2, either when the building permit is obtained or within 5 years. r �3 • Subdivision Committee Meeting May 23, 1977 -3- Next was the approval of the Revised Preliminary Plat and the Final Plat of Villa North located north of Township Road and west of Villa Boulevard, Holley - Ogden Enterprises, Inc., developers.

Chairman Jacks asked if Mr. Ogden is meeting Harold Lieberenz's requirements and Mr. Ogden said that meeting the requirements of Ordinance 2319 is part of their protective covenants. Mr. Ogden said Mr. Lieberenz wanted to be sure this would be in their covenants. .. Mr. Ogden said the location of the driveways will work out. He said they are 60 feet apart at a minimum although some may be closer than 121 feet to the side property line. Chairman Jacks noted that they are only 8 feet from the side property line. Chairman Jacks asked Mr. Ogden to add a note on the plat saying that there will be a minimum separation of 25 feet between individual driveways.
