This property is zoned R-2, Medium Density Residential District. Jacks noted from Don Bunns Comments that the drainage and Utility easement should be separate and Hopper stated they had taken the drainage easement off the West side as requested and made it simply a 20' utility easement. Jacks asked if this satisfied all of Don Bunns requirements and Hopper stated yes. Jaeks stated a Bill of Assurance would be required for street improvements to Joyce. Jaeks asked if notification of the adjoining property owners had been submitted to the Planning Office and Hopper stated they had received return receipts from all property owners with the exception of Mr. Diggs who is deceased and could not find addresses on his heirs, Hopper neglected to bring the receipts to the Planning Office but would have them by 5:OOp.m. for the Planning Commission meeting. Green asked what the requirements would be for street improvements to Joyce as it is a Collector and Jacks stated the maximum would be half the street to City Standard pending the City Boards decision. Madison stated the Green Space requirement would be for 12 single family lots. MOTION Madison moved to recommend approval of this plat subject to: 1. Plat Review Comments; 2. Bill of Assurance for street improvements to Joyce Street with the maximum of one half pending final resolution by the City Board as to determination of off-site improvements; 3. 1 • • • Subdivision Committee August 11, 1986 Page 2 Proof of Notification of return receipts given to Sandra Carlisle by 5:OOp.m. today; 4.

SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH - EXPANSION OF LSD 1707 CROSSOVER ROAD - LAVON SMITH The second item of consideration today was a proposed addition to Seventh Day Adventist Church for a small School, located at 1707 Crossover Road and submitted by Lavon Smith. This property is zoned P-1, Institu- tional. Jacks asked if all requests have been met as to the notification of property owners, Bill of Assurance for a Sidewalk and 80' of dedicated ROW. Dennis Ledbetter of the Fire Department asked if there would be a temporary building for the students while the sehool was being eon- structed. Mr Smith stated they had sehool there last year and it was held in the fellowship room on the ground floor, his question was what would be required in way of a fire eseape to hold Blass up- strairs Ledbetter stated any room that would be used for pre-school, kindergarden or first grade shall not be located above or below level of exit discharge, in other words it has to be ground level and Mr Smith stated they would hold class in the fellowship room again this year until the aonstruetion is eompleted. Sandra Carlisle noted a Bill of Assuranee would be required for the sidewalk, the 80' of required ROW is dedicated and she has proof of notification in the file. Madison stated technically they were not a sehool last year because they were not zone P-1 until June 3rd of this year. MOTION Madison moved approval of the Large Seale Development for the Seventh Day Adventist Church, with the stipulation of a signed Bill of Assurance for a sidewalk along HWY 265, seconded by Green and, upon roll Ball, the motion passed 3-0-0.

PARTNERSHIP The third item of consideration today was the preliminary plat of Oakridge Addition, submitted by Oakridge LTD. and represented by Ervan Wimberly of Northwest Engineers Ina. for property located South of Township and West of Old Wire Road. 'L� • • • Subdivision Committee August 11, 1986 Page 3 Jacks stated a variance would be required for the jog distance between Hummingbird Lane and Township Common and the tandem lot drives would be maintained by the property owners. Jacks asked if they would have covenants and Wimberly noted the covenants are being prepared by attorneys and it would be done. Jacks asked if proof of notification of the adjoining property owners had been submitted to the Planning Office and Wimberly stated all but 2 and they were out of town. Jacks then stated sidewalks would be required on the South side of Township and one side of Hummingbird Lane. Jacks asked if Wimberly would give a Bill of Assurance for the sidewalks and Wimberly stated no they planned to put the sidewalks in as they develop. Wimberly stated the telephone Company had asked that the 25' building setback be dedicated a utility easement incase they ever needed it and they changed it to a 15' utility easement. Carlisle stated there has been a problem with the Board vacating numerouse easements beeause the utilities are taking more than what they actually need. Madison asked if the sidewalks would be to the property line and Wimberly stated they would be at the property line. MOTION Jacks moved to recommend approval of subdivision subject to: 1. Waiver of the jog distance; 2. contingent upon receipts of the 2 property owners; 3. sidewalk on the South side of Township and one side of Hummingbird Lane. Madison seconded and, upon roll tall, the motion passed 3-0-0. GLEN OAKS - PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION PLAT EAST OF OLD MISSOURI AND SOUTH OF SWEETBRIAR - JAMES LINDSEY The fourth item of consideration today was the preliminary plat of Glen Oaks Subdivision, submitted by James Lindsey and represented by Gary Carnahan, property located East of Old Missouri and South of Sweetbriar, zoned R-1, Low Density Residential District. Carlisle stated she had comments from City Board members and Don Grimes as to they did not like the entrance located at Old Missouri and Glen Oaks Drive because of the intersection at Stubblefield and Old Missouri also the plan had been for Errol Street to extend through, therefore there would be no point in planning for through streets if they are not carried through. Carlisle stated Mr. Grimes wanted his vehement objections to Errol Street not going through. Jacks stated the fact that Errol Street did not go through would be a problem. Carlisle then stated Mr. Grimes would not mind if there were some jogs and turns, it would slow traffic down but it would 1,0 • • • Subdivision Committee August 11, 1986 Page 4 also bring traffic through to Katherine Street. Carnahan stated they would like to make a proposal to change the Eastern part of Errol Street to Glen Wood so there would not be a conflict with the name. Carnahan stated there is one home on that street and it has a Katherine Street address. Carnahan noted if Errol Street extended through to the East it would never go any further than Katherine and that would not relieve the City's traffic burden. Green stated the sight distance where Errol Street intersects with Old Missouri is poor, he said you cannot see back to the right and felt personally they would be creating a hazardous traffic situation if they gave the people in Huntingdon away to get out which they would use, directly to Old Missouri at a point of intersection which is dangerous. Carnahan stated there is a better sight distance at Old Missouri and Glen Oaks Drive, he said you can see to the right down the hill, Stubble- field intersection is very clear and you can see around the curve and to the left and up to Mr. Stubblefields house. Carnahan stated they meet the separation between Glen Oaks and Stubblefield. Green stated the western part of Errol Street is a poor location for a street to exit onto Old Missouri because it is blind back to the right. Green stated he feltit would be better for traffic to some out in this configuration, it would be difficult for them to cut through a residential neighborhood at a relatively low rate of speed than it would be for a straight shot where they could reach a higher rate of speed in a residential neighborhood. Green stated the point of a residential neighborhood is not to facilitate traffic flow in the City. Jacks asked Carnahan if they were proposing to rename Errol on the West and Errol on the East and Carnahan stated yes. Madison stated if at least one person on the City Board felt this strongly as she understands then we need to discuss this because they can appeal whatever we do. Madison stated her support would be with the City Board on this Subdivision. Jacks stated he felt there is a need for a liaison with the City. Carnahan stated he would visit with Mr. Grimes after this meeting in regards to this Subdivision. Madison stated one concern, that would be perhaps upper most in their minds is the volume of traffic that would come from Huntingdon and if Errol would some up to Glen Oaks it would at least split the flow. • • Subdivision Committee August 11, 1986 Page 5 Jacks asked Carlisle if there were any plans to upgrade Old Missouri in the future and Carlisle stated the only upgrade would be Mud Creek bridge. Madison asked if Errol Street extended to Glen Oaks by way of lot 36 would that satisfy the City Board and Carlisle stated she thought that would probably work as Mr. Grimes said he did not mind jogs and turns. Jacks stated the Plat Review Comments noted a 2 year Bill of Assurance for temporary cul-de-sacs. madison stated 2 years is a short time as developments go and her concern is it would deceive property owners because they see a concrete curb and think it is a cul- de -sac. Jacks then stated the sentiment here is to forget the 2 year bill of assurance and just ask for a temporary turn -a -round. Jacks asked Carnahan if proof of notification of all adjoining property owners had been turned into the Planning Office and Carnahan stated yes and it took a lot of effort to do this. Jacks asked Carnahan if he had talked to Don Bunn about the sewer situation at some length and Carnahan stated that was a mistake in the minutes it should have said he had talked to Carnahan at some length about the sewer situation, Carnahan stated Don Bunn is satisfied with the sewer situation. Jacks question the Green Space requirement and Carnahan stated they are showing 2-1/2 acres of Green Space and he is assuming they do not want the land and want the money, he then stated we would pay the Green Space fee. Madison asked if they could use the 2-1/2 acres for lots and Carnahan stated no but they are leaving the open spade there. Carnahan stated the name of the Ordinance is Green Space but it has a common name called the Parks Fee Ordinance. Madison stated she would be willing to make a recommendation that the Parks Department think about accepting the 2-1/2 acres and she fully supports neighborhood parks that are within a subdivision. Jacks stated the Parks Department probably felt there are plenty of parks in this location. Jacks stated the point about a Green Space Ordinance or a Parks Fee Ordinance is another matter. Madison questioned the Mesquite Tree Nursing Center and Carnahan clarified there is a Company named mesquite Nursing Home and they own the land and building and have leased it to the Apple Tree Nursing Center. Madison then stated if Mesquite owns the land they should have been the ones to whom notification was given not Apple Tree. • Jacks asked the committee what they thought about Errol Street and Green stated it should be renamed Glen Wood from Katherine West except • • • Subdivision Committee August 11, 1986 Page 6 the Western piece of Errol. Madison was not satisfied that renaming it would pure all the objections to the situation. Carnahan stated there were 3 objections: 1. confusion about the name; 2. whether or not the intersection is a safe intersection; 3. someone feels betrayed because they were told Errol would go through. Jacks asked the Subdivision Committee if they would like to hold this until the Planning Commission meeting tonight or make a recommendation on items 2 and 4. Green stated he would be willing to make a recommen- dation on the whole subdivision. MOTION Green moved to recommend approval of this preliminary plat subject to: 1. renaming Errol Street to Glen Wood, the eastern stretches of Errol to Glen Wood; 2. allowing a temporary turn -a -round at the south end of Glen Oaks, Glen Park and Glendale until such time as they are extended throught; 3. Don Bunn"s statement as to the sewer situation has been agreed upon; 4. notification of Mesquite Tree Nursing Center as opposed to Apple Tree Inn. Jacks seconded and, upon roll sail, the motion passed 2-1-0, Madison voting "Nay". 20
