MINUTES
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Green and the minutes
of the February 7 and 8 meetings were considered. As there were no
additions or corrections, the minutes were approved as distributed.
CHESTNUT II APARTMENTS
REVISIONS APPROVAL
The only item of consideration today was that of revisions proposed
by Lindsey and Associates for Chestnut II Apartments located on Chestnut
and Ernie Jacks Blvd., represented by Gary Carnahan.
Carnahan explained that he is requesting permission to complete 96
units in this development, rather than 120 as previously planned. He
said the main water line, two fire
a lift station and a 24" storm sewer
He added that curb and gutters as
court have also been installed.
hydrants, a new trunk sewer system,
on the west side have been installed.
well as a swimming pool and tennis
At Green's request, Carnahan explained Street Superintendent Powell's
comments regarding the extension of the sidewalk, curb and gutter
on Chestnut. He said the length of sewer pipe used ended about 8 feet
beyond the property line on the west side and instead of being cut
off, was fitted with a headwall. He advised that when sidewalk, curb
and gutter were added, they were extended only to the property line
and Powell requested they be taken as far as the headwall. Carnahan
said the street was previously paved by the developer on the west
side of Chestnut with the agreement that this developer would install
sidewalks, curbs and gutters. He said that Powell has requested that
these improvements be extended to the end of the asphalt. Madison
noted that a temporary turn -around was to be installed on the north
end of Chestnut but Carnahan said there was ample room for turning
vehicles.

Green asked if there were any problem with utility company comments
and Carnahan said there were not.
Carnahan said he would prefer to keep the utility easement just south
of the northern -most building at 25 ft. instead of the originally
planned 30 ft. because of tight spacing. Carnahan said he is working
with a surveyor to prepare an over-all easement plat as well as an
"as -built" showing exact locations.
Jones advised that the first eight buildings are ready for occupancy
except for the easement recordings and striping the parking lot.
Carnahan demonstrated the location of the internal streetlights on
the plat. He said they are private, not City maintained.
Madison said she did not think the new parking plan was as desirable
as the original because there are not as many loops allowing through
traffic in the development. She added that the original plan shows
sidewalks and the new one does not. Carnahan said the walks have
been left out of this plat but they are intended. He agreed to eliminate
some of the excess parking spaces. Stockdell agreed with Madison
that the two points of ingress/egress should be kept as clear as possible,
although Stockdell said she was not opposed to some parking over that
required. Madison said she did not like the dead end parking lot which
will hold 68 vehicles. Carnahan suggested connecting the east and
south parking lots with the dumpster placed at the end of the new
parking lot. He also suggested turning the northern -most proposed
building to align with the eastern building and connecting the east
side parking lot with the south side parking lot.
MOTION
Stockdell moved approval of this revised plat subject to 1. Plat Review
comments; 2. building #2126 being relocated as far south as the east/west
(south side) utility easement; 3. building #2132 being rotated 90
degrees to align with building #2126; 4. six parking spaces at the
existing northern exit being eliminated; 5. seven parking spaces at
the south end being eliminated; 6. easement plats being filed; 7.
an updated "as -built" being furnished; 8. striping of existing packing
spaces being finished; and, 9. the ditch on the south border being
cleared (as per Street Superintendent Powell's request). Madison seconded
and the motion to approve passed 3-0-0. Carnahan said he would notify
the utility companies of the changes made today.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 4:30 p.m.
