MINUTES The first item for discussion was the RECONSIDERATION of MAPLE TERRACE reconsideration of action taken on two P, SMOKE RISE SUBDIVISIONS subdivisions on January 9 and January 10, S. of Hwy 16 W $ W of Hwy 71 Bypass 1978 --the final plat of Maple Terrace, Bryce Davis, developer; and the preliminary plat of Smoke Rise Subdivision, Demaree, McChristian, and Demaree, developers. Both subdivisions are located west of Highway 71 Bypass and south of Highway 16 West. City Manager Don Grimes explained that he had been working with both developers on the problems of sewer and drainage in the area. He said the City has a manhole near the Frontage Road at a depth of approximately 10 feet. He explained that when Maple Manor hooked on to sewer, they came up three feet with a manhole and 150 feet further west, came up two more feet with another manhole, so they are at minimum depth. He said sewer, as it is, will serve Smoke Rise Subdivision and part of Maple Terrace. The northernmost lots on Maple Terrace cannot be served at the present time by the existing sewer. Mr. Grimes said he had talked to Bryce Davis and Mr. Demaree and they both seemed agreeable to working something out. Bryce Davis had indicated he would move Jewell Road to the south of Smoke Rise Subdivision far enough to allow for the lot depth of a residential lot. The developer of this property (south of Smoke Rise) would then extend Jewell Road to the Frontage Road. Mr. Grimes said he had talked to the Board of Directors about the sewer problem and they approved the idea of the City relaying the sewer line (at a cost of approximately $25,000-$30,000) so they can have more depth to serve a larger area, contingent on the Water and Sewer Committee approval. The Water and Sewer Committee asked City Engineer Don Bunn to field check to see if the additional area which could be served would be large enough to justify the expense. Mr. Grimes said he shoiuld..have some figures on this within the next few days. Planning Consultant Larry Wood said he had talked to Street Superintendent Clayton Powell about the improvements_to the existing service road He said Mr. Powell felt it is inconsistent with the City policy not to bring the Service Road up to City standards. Larry Wood said he would withdraw his comments from the previous meeting about not upgrading the service road and go with Mr. Powell's comments. Pat Demaree asked that the reconsideration of Smoke Rise Subdivision be tabled until a later date so that they might work with the developer of Maple Terrace on the problems of drainage and the proposed street stub:to the frontage road Bill Kisor made a motion to accept the tableing of the reconsideration of Smoke • Rise Subdivision. Keith Newhouse seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. 7 �� 13 J • • • Subdivision Committee Meeting January 23, 1978 -2- The second. item for discussion was the approval of the Final CENTURY ESTATES Plat of Century Estates located North of Township Road and Final Plat West of Old Wire Road; Rose Construction Company, Inc., N. of Township Road Developer.
