represent.
Hunnicutt stated that the Committee was looking at quite a few waivers.
He asked the Developers to explain each request, and the Developers obliged.
After much discussion, Newton Hailey moved to approve the subdivision based
on the following recommendations:
1. Keep existing roll-over curb and gutter.
2. The Developers suggestion for flaring ,the existing 30 ft. pavement to widen
it to the required 31 ft. of pavement will be accepted.
3. Recommending denial of waiver of base requirement of SB -2 unless approved
by Clayton Powell.
4. Agree to waive the requirement that curb, gutter and sidewalk be installed
in temporary culs-de-sac with the Developer entering into an agreement with
the City that if the temporary cul-de-sac is not extended within a five
year period, the cul-de-sac will be brought up to City Standards at the
Developer's expense.

easement's for the City Water and Sewer Lines only. The Developer proposes

utilities may share them with City utilities. Mr. Mattke stated that
the easements will be platted into the Subdivision at the same width or
wider than the existing easements.
8. Cleveland will be constructed when Camelot Avenue is constructed to
connect East with Aberdeen Avenue and Lancelot Avenue. The easement.

General Bruce Kendall commented for the County. The County requires that
this Developer dedicate 30 ft. of right-of-way from the centerline of
County Road #650 toward his subdivision. Bobbie Jones reported that General
Kendall had also required for the County that the proposed cul-de-sac be constructed
to the same standards as County Road #650; that is: a hot mix application
rather than chip and seal.
Bobbie Jones asked if the Developer had worked up the cost estimate on
running water to this subdivision as requested by Don Bunn at Plat Review.
Gray stated that the cost of running a 6" public water line to this subdivision
would cost slightly over $13,000.00. The existing water line that would have
to be tapped is on the North side of Highway 16, and the road would have to be
bored under. Gray stated that there are existing wells on Lots 2, 3, F, 4. To
install an individual well runs approximately $1200.00 per well.
Newton Hailey asked that if an improvement district was formed, if the
Developer could recoup some of his cost if he is required to run water to this
subdivision. Gray stated that he could. Gray stated that in order to bring
water to this subdivision, S80 ft. of off-site work would have to be done, and
the subdivision is only 5S0 ft. wide, he thought that was a bit unfeasible.
Hailey asked if Gray had received perc test approval for the subdivision.
Gray replied the perc test had been scheduled, but that he had not yet: had one
performed.
Harry stated that the state requires that there be sufficient area for two
fields on each lot.
Newton stated he would not want to recommend this subdivision for approval
without water, as the area is growing so fast He asked Gray if he could get
together some information for an improvement district.
Don Hunnicutt wondered how much a developer should have to spend to get
water to a subdivision when there is already existing well water. He said
he knew that there is a 300 ft. limit for requiring someone in the City Limits
to hook on to sewer, and wondered if there was some type of limit on water too.
Bobbie Jones thought perhaps something could be worked out by delayed
off-site improvement, where the money could be placed in an interest bearing
escrow accound, and at the end of five years, the Planning Commission would
hold a public hearing if the improvements had not been performed. n At;that_
time it would be decided if the money should be used for some other type of.
improvement or refunded. If the money is refunded, it goes either to the
subdivider with interest, or to the property owners at this time on a pro rata
basis with interest.
Hunnicutt asked if Mr. Gray would be willing to check into the possibility
of forming an improvement district. Gray agreed to investigate.
Newton Hailey moved to approve the preliminary plat for 0. E. Lutrell
subject to the comments made by the Plat Review Committee, the County Planning
Board. The Planning Commission will make a decision on whether the Developer
will run water to the subdivision as opposed to lots being served by existing
wells.

The last item for consideration FINAL PLAT
was the approval of the final plat WEST WIND PHASE III
of West Wind, Phase III, A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
A Planned Unit Development, located North
of Township Road, East of College Avenue, and
South of Rolling Hills. Drive; Jim Younkin and
Johnnie Bassett, Owners and Developers. Zoned R-1, Low Density Residential District.
Harry Gray was present to represent.
The Developers are asking that the Planning Commission consider the following:
1) That the Developers not be required to install sidewalks as they were not
required to construct them in either Phase I or II. Also, sidewalks
had not been required at the preliminary plat level.
2) That the Developers not be required to install street lights for the
same reasons as 1 above.
3) Should the third phase of West Wind be required to contribute for parks
acquisition, since this is partially a replat, and under the new ordinance,
replats are subject to the parks requirement.
Newton Hailey did not feel that the parks requirement should be applicable
unless a major replat is filed. Gray commented that there is only one more
lot than on the original preliminary.
Hailey stated this situation should be clarified. Bobbie Jones stated she
would check with McCord for an opinion in this case.
Newton Hailey moved that the Final Plat for West Wind, Phase III be approved
based on previous approval and according to the rules and regulations that applied
when the preliminary plat was filed. Also, since this is a PUD, and the Planning
Commission has the power to waive requirements within a PUD, recommend waiver
of the minimum street width from 22 ft. to 20 ft.
Waiver of sidewalks, street lights, and parks will be based on recommendation
from Jim McCord.
Don Hunnicutt secondedand the motion passed (2-0).
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 10:20.
