Don Hunnicutt called the meeting to order.
Jones, David
The only item for consideration was the Concept Plat NETTLESHIP PLACE, A PUD
of Nettleship Place, A PUD, located South of the proposed Concept Plat
Drake Street extension, West of Villa North Subdivision,
North of Township Road, and East of Gregg Avenue (formerly Johnson Road).
Dr. Anderson Nettleship is the owner. The property is presently zoned A-1,
Agricultural District and R-0, Residential Office District.
Planner Ed Schweitzer was present to represent.
He said that Dr. Nettleship wanted to keep the overall density on this development
low density and wanted to develop a medical park which already has R-0 zoning.
There is also a small neighborhood commercial area proposed in the development.
The PUD would contain 59 acres and adjoins Villa Mobile Home Park, Villa North
Subdivision and is:Just Southwest of Bishop Addition, all of which are designed for
• medium density. He also wants to preserve some steep slopes. He said the area is
divided in two by Scull Creek which cuts through it. They plan some recreational
facilities. Mr. Schweitzer said they have maintained a large block of 5 acres for
primarily recreational areas. They are proposing 60 single family dwellings. The
access for the multi -family would be to the extension of Drake Street. He said that
Dr: Nettleship would propose that Drake Street be rerouted partly onto the propery
to the North to avoid cutting across the steep slopes. He said that Drake Street
would align on Dr. Nettleship's North line from Bishop Addition to about half way
across Dr. Nettleship's property before it would swing to the North completely off
Dr. Nettleship's property. This would require only one stream crossing instead of
two.
David McWethy said he thought it would be the strong opinion of the Board of Directors
that Drake Street should intersect in a 4 -way intersection at Gregg Avenue and should
not jog to the North. Mr. Schweitzer said Dr. Nettleship would be very opposed to
this for environmental reasons. He pointed out that the City's General Plan proposes
this as open space and flood plain. Mr. McWethy asked if Dr. Nettleship had contacted
Mr. Martin, the adjoining property owner to the North about swinging the street to
the North, or if they had any cost sharing proposal on it. Mr. Schweitzer said they
had not done either. He acknowledged that it would have to be done with the cooperation
of Dr. Nettleship, Mr. Martin and the City. Mr. McWethy said he thought Dr. Nettleship
should expect to construct the entire street on his property.
Bobbie Jones said that Drake Street is presently constructed from North College Avenue
through the intersection with Villa Boulevard. There is one-half of a street
dedicated across the North of Villa North Subdivision and there are about 9 lots being
held by the City until the street is constructed. There is also one-half of a street
• dedicated across the South of Bishop Addition and a Certificate of Deposit being held
to insure its construction there.

Mr. Hunnicutt said that something will have to be worked out to tie Drake Street on
through to Gregg Avenue. Mr. Schweitzer said they would probably want to start with
the single family development.
Mr. Schweitzer asked if under the Green Space ordinance the City was going to want
a donation of land or money for public park facilities. He was informed they would.
Mr. McWethy said they could take part of the open space and dedicate it to the City.
He said he thought the City might have instances wherein they would agree to accept
some flood plain area where it was part of a larger parcel which was developable.
Mr. Hunnicutt said the Parks and Recreation Board is looking for sites of 5 acres
or more. Mr. Schweitzer said he was not sure Dr. Nettleship would be willing to
give the land to the City. Mr. McWethy said he could have the option of giving cash
in lieu of land that would be used to purchase park land somewhere else.
Larry Wood said that the adopted plan does show a park to be needed somewhere between
Highway 71-B, Township Road and the By-pass.
Mr. Schweitzer said he would want to have all the A-1 property rezoned to R-1.
Bobbie Jones listed some of the points for consideration as she saw them as:
1) rezoning to residential; 2) the proposed commercial; 3) the alignment of Drake
Street; 4) the new park requirements.
Mr. Hunnicutt advised Mr. Schweitzer that the flood plain must be shown on the
preliminary plat.
Mr. Hailey advised him that any recreational facilities shown on the RUD plan
must be constructed in connection with the first phase of the development.
Mr. Hailey then moved to recommend approval of the Concept Plat of Nettleship Place
to the Planning Commission on condition that the property will have to be rezoned,
based on the comments discussed at this meeting and on the premise that before the
final plat is approved for the multi -family portion, the matter•of where and how
Drake Street will be extended to Gregg Avenue will be taken care of.
Don Hunnicutt seconded the motion.
The motion was approved unanimously.
The minutes of the January 12, 1981 Subdivision Committee Meeting were approved
as mailed. MINUTES
The meeting was adjourned at 4:55 P.M.
