Bobbie Jones said they need to add a note on the plat that Lot 2, which is a tandem lot, is not eligible for public maintenance. Also, the east side of Lot 2 needs to be dimensioned.

Neal Albright said they would file protective covenants with the final plat. Bobbie Jones said the developer has decreased the number of lots from 21 to 20,:but she does not see any problem with this.

Company, developer. WESTWOOD SUBDIVISION Final Plat Sang $'Maple Rick Cowdrey and Jim Stephens were present to represent. Bobbie Jones said Mr. Lieberenz wants the developer to call the street North, South, and West Loren Circle, to satisfy the water department. The Subdivision Committee said they would prefer to start on the south side and number consecutively around the loop. Keith Newhouse said he felt they should change the street name to read Loren Loop, and all future looped streets should be called "loop" and numbered in the same way. The other members did not feel there would be a problem in leaving the name as Loren Circle. Keith Newhouse made a motion to approve the final plat with the house numbers starting from the south and going consecutively around the circle. Bill Kisor seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Next was approval of the preliminary plat of CANVAS MOUNTAIN Canvas Mountain Subdivision located east of Preliminary Plat Starr Drive and north of Wyman Road; James Starr Drive E. Lindsey, developer. Jim Lindsey was present to represent. Mr. Jacks noted that Canvas Mountain Road does exceed the maximum length for a dead- end street. It is 2572 feet long. Jim Lindsey explained that he owns another 40 acres to the northeast and indicated he would reserve a piece of land at the end of Canvas Road and give the property owner to the north a permanent option on that lot to connect to Canvas Road. Mr. Lindsey said he would also be increasing the size of the utilities so that Mr. Martin (to the north) could develop his property at a later date. Mr. Jacks said he felt this should be shown on the plat. Bobbie Jones said the Planning Office will need to process a lot split for Mr.. Meason's property. Bobbie Jones said if the maximum grade is over 300 feet, it will need to be waived by the Planning Commission. Jim Lindsey said they. had not checked the grade. He questioned if the County or City has jurisdiction over this. He said the County has approved the plans for the road. Bobbie Jones stated that she felt this would probably be sufficient unless this question comes up some time in the future. She noted that the County does say how the streets are to be built. Mr. Jacks said the Planning Commission should waive the intervals on the topography to allow 20 foot intervals. Mr. Jacks asked if there would be any protective cove- nants and Gary Carnahan said "no". He said there is a note on the plat that all lots will be restricted to single-family. Bobbie Jones said she felt the Planning Commission should waive City standards for the streets to permit County standards. She stated that the Ordinance is worded to require City street standards but on suburban subdivisions this may be waived to allow County standards. Bill Kisor made a motion to approve the preliminary plat of Canvas Mountain with the following contingencies: 1) provide a permanent lot option to extend Canvas Road to the north; 2) execute a lot split for Mr. Meason's property; 3)waive the grade limitation to as much as 20%; 4) waive the intervals on the topography; 5) add a note that there will be no protective covenants; and 6) waive City standards on roads to allow County standards. The motion seconded by Mr. Newhouse passed unanimously. r • Subdivision Committee Meeting May 8, 1978. The last item for consideration was the approval CROSSROADS EAST of the preliminary and final plat of Crossroads Hwy. 45 $ Hwy. 265 East located North of Highway 45 and east of Preliminary F, Final Plat Highway 265; E. J. Ball and Charles E. Jr. and Clydene Scharlau, developers. Gary Carnahan said they would like to request that sidewalks and street lights be waived on this subdivision. Jim Lindsey explained that there is a problem with hooking on to sewer. He said there are two sewer easements across this property, but at the present time the sewer backs up to approximately the 1400 foot level so any lot beneath that level would not be eligible to hook on.to the sewer. He said they are in the process now of making this a gravity sewer and it is estimated this will be in the 1978-79 budget and should be completed by the summer of 1979. Bobbie Jones said if the sewer was extended to within 300 feet of the houpe, the property owner would be required to hook on. Otherwise, if it was readily accessible, he would have to hook on within three years from the time it becomes servicable. The Subdivision Committee did not feel there would be any problem in allowing the lots to be developed on septic tanks. Gary Carnahan asked the Subdivision Committee if they would be willing to waive the sidewalk requirement if Mr. Ball would enter into a Bill of Assurance to put sidewalks on the west side of Highway 265, since he also owns that property and the terrain is not as rough. He noted that part of that property is zoned commercial and there would be a greater need for sidewalks on the commercial portion than on the residential lots. Bill Kisor said he felt they should waive sidewalk requirements for Lots 2, 3, and 4, Block 2 if they obtain a Bill of Assurance that sidewalks will be built on the east side of Highway 265. Bobbie Jones said she felt the Board of Directors would need to waive the sidewalk. requirements. Bill Kisor made a motion to approve the preliminary and final plat with the following stipulations: 1) waive the requirement for street lights; 2) the property owners be required to tie into sewer when it becomes servicable: 3) waive the sidewalk requirement for Lots 2, 3, and 4, Block 2 with a Bill of Assurance from the property owner across the street that he will build a sidewalk along his: property for -the same distance as those three lots, when his property is developed. - Keith Newhouse seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
