The easement requested under 4A of the Plat Review Committee comments which is located outside the subdivision, is now being recorded. It is also noted on the revised plat. 2. On the South side of Tract 3, there is a 35 ft. utility and drainage easement. The Plat Review Committee requested a 15 ft. easement outside that utility and drainage easement.. Research_has_brought to light an adjacent 25 ft. utility easement outside that drainage and utility easement on the adjacent property. Crafton proposed that sleeving be run under the concrete drainage ditch to the utility easement. He stated that the 35 ft. drainage and -Utility easement has been increased to 40 ft. to accomodate the concrete ditch and with the 50 ft. setback in the C-2 zone, the addition of the 15 ft. easement outside the drainage and utility easement would restrict thebuildable area too much. 3. On item 56, Ma Bell requested that the perimeter easement around tracts 1 $ 3 be increased. On the East side of tract 3 there is a 30 ft. utility easement that is presently dedicated and recorded. On the East and Northeast sides of Tract 1 a 15 ft. utility easement is indicated on the plat. This had been dedicated for the gas line. Crafton stated he did not see the possibility of any other utilities ever locating in that easement. Crafton stated each tract will have to be reviewed under the Large Scale Development process and that utility connections will be better known at that time, and if additional easement is needed, it should be requested at that time. It was stated at the Plat Review Committee meeting that there:is a. building setback anyway, however a waiver can be requested from the Board of Adjustment on setbacks, but it cannot be requested for an utility easement. Beth Crocker left the proceedings at 2:10 P.M. 4. Regarding Item 8C; there will be no covenants with this subdivision. Bobbie Jones stated that needs to be stated on the plat. 5. Item 8E; Crafton stated the plat is not ready to file ;yet.

The next item for consideration PRELIMINARY PLAT was the Preliminary Plat of HAPPY ACRES SUBDIVISION Happy Acres Subdivision to be located WEST OF OLD WIRE ROAD West of Old Wire Road, North of Ash Street, and East of Juneway Terrace. Property zoned R-1, Low Density Residential District. There was no one present to represent. Beth Crocker stated she has a definite problem with this subdivision, in that it is located in the Flood Plain and very few of the lots appear to have buildable areas adequate to construct a house. Crocker stated she understands. that the accident rate at the corner of Sycamore and College warrants a traffic signal. She said if one is installed Ash Street will probably become a cut through point to Old Wire Road.from North College Avenue. She felt this developer should bear his portion of the cost of widening Ash to Master Street Plan standards. Since: there was no one present to represent, Hunnicutt moved this item be passed on to the Planning Commission with Crocker's comments. Williams seconded. The motion passed (2-0).
