He advised that they have contacted Hal Morton of the Solid Waste Management Department regarding the trash dumpster service drive and location. Mr. Morton has stated that it meets all of the requirements. Mr. Skiles noted that the utility companies requested that they indicate the easements on the plat which they did. In answer to a question from Commissioner Nickle, Mr. Keating stated that there are two existing fire hydrants and from their calculations they meet the 400' distance requirement. Mr. Skiles noted that the hydrants aren't shown on the plat because they aren't on this site.

FINAL PLAT OF KEATING ESTATES RICHARD AND GEORGE KEATING - N OF TOWNSHIP RD, W OF PRIMROSE LN The final plat of Keating Estates was submitted by Richard & George Keating for property located on the north side of Township Road, west of Primrose Lane and zoned R-1, Low Density Residential. The property contains .78 acres with 3 proposed lots. Commissioner Ozment asked if he and the staff had worked out the contract for the construction of water and sewer. Mr. Keating stated that, as he understands it, the Parks Department is going to give some money towards the project. It is really a question of the two developers, Mr. Kennedy and himself, working out how they are going to share the cost of bringing the water across the street. In answer to a question from Commissioner Nickle, Mr. Keating stated that the City Engineer was going to review this to determine if a variance from the distance between street lights would be needed. He added that there is an existing light in front of the Winwood Baptist Church. Commissioner Nickle stated that, as he remembers it, when the preliminary plat of this development was approved by the PLanning Commission, the only conditions placed on the developer was that adequate driveways be constructed so that cars won't be backing into the street. Commissioner Nickle stated that the building permits should reflect this driveway requirement. In answer to a question from Commissioner Ozment, Mr. Keating stated that he is in agreement with the Parks Department's recommendation. Commissioner Ozment advised that they will address the street light issue at the Planning Commission meeting. MOTION Commissioner Ozment moved to recommend that the final plat of Keating Estates be approved subject to Plat Review comments, seconded by Nickle. The motion passed 2-0-0. PRELIMINARY PLAT OF WATERMAN WOODS SUBDIVISION G. TOMLINSON & B. BROOKS - S OF CLEVELAND, E OF SANG The third item was the preliminary plat of Waterman Woods Subdivision submitted Gerald Tomlinson & Bill Brooks and represented by John Mahaffey of Mahaffey Engineers for property located on the south side of Cleveland, east of Sang /q8 • • • Subdivision Committee July 12, 1990 Page 3 Avenue and zoned R-1, Low Density Residential. The property contains 11.42 acres with 23 proposed lots. John Mahaffey advised that the developers don't have the covenants finished yet. Commissioner Nickle stated that there was an easement requested from lot 18 to lot 17 which isn't reflected on the plat. Also, the Plat Review minutes reflect that the easement between lots 20 & 21 can be taken out. He asked if they met the fire hydrant minimum distance. Mr. Mahaffey stated that all the lots are within the required minimum distance. Commissioner Nickle stated that the staff requested that the present owner and the wooded areas be shown on the plat. The Planning Secretary, Elaine Cattaneo, advised that the staff would prefer that there either be a note reflecting that all the property is wooded or a tree outline on the areas that are wooded. In answer to a question from Commissioner Nickle, Mr. Mahaffey advised that a sidewalk is shown on Cleveland. Commissioner Ozment advised that the City Engineer indicated that there might be a requirement to construct half of the street on Sang Avenue and Cleveland. Ms. Cattaneo noted that the city engineer would be looking into the additional right-of-way needed on both streets to ensure that what is shown on the plat will be adequate. Commissioner Nickle requested that the City Engineer determine if the fire hydrants and the additional right-of-way comply with the requirements. Mr. Mahaffey stated that they found an old deed which shows the 10' of additional right-of-way on Cleveland has already been dedicated. Ms. Cattaneo advised that the Water Meter Division has requested that one part of Archer Drive be named something else since part of it runs east/west and part of it runs north/south. She suggested that Mr. Mahaffey contact Jim Johnson in the Water Meter Division regarding this. She further stated that the staff would like Mr. Archer to be listed on the plat as the owner since he presently owns the property. Mr. Bonner, who owns property across Cleveland from the proposed development, was concerned about the classification of Cleveland and whether additional right-of-way will be required. Commissioner Ozment advised that the City Engineer will be looking into that. Mr. Bonner stated that the Planning Commission should take a look at the existing sidewalks in that area and the problems with them. There is a sidewalk down the other side of Cleveland to about Ashwood. At that point it stops because of a cement drainage ditch. He advised that something should be done about having an integrated sidewalk coming down Cleveland for safety purposes for the children who walk to Leverett School. iqq • e Subdivision Committee July 12, 1990 Page 4 Commissioner Nickle stated that the issue of the sidewalks in that area would need to be discussed at the full Commission meeting. Mr. Fields, who owns property to the west of the proposed development asked if the City has any intention of carrying the additional right-of-way offset from this development on to the corner of Cleveland and Sang. Commissioner Nickle stated that the City Engineer will be researching the right-of-way needed for that street. Mr. Fields stated that they would object very strongly to that street being widened because it would put their front door right on the street and their driveway would be destroyed. Commissioner Nickle stated that he doesn't know what the future plans might be, but they are requiring this developer to provide 10' additional right-of-way at this time. In answer to a question from Mr. Fields, Commissioner Ozment stated that everything indicates that the utilities will be below ground. In answer to a question from Mr. Fields regarding curb and gutters on Sang Avenue, Commissioner Nickle stated that the City Engineer hasn't made that determination yet. In answer to a question from Mr. Fields, Ms. Cattaneo advised that the City Engineer will submit a staff report stating the requirements for this development by Wednesday or Thursday of next week. Commissioner Ozment advised that the City Engineer's report should address the curb, gutter & drainage on Sang Avenue, the off -set of right-of-way on Cleveland and the sidewalk situation along Cleveland Street. Mr. Fields stated that they feel that the sidewalk should be continuous all the way down Cleveland Street and should be on the north side of the street to tie in with the existing sidewalks. Commissioner Ozment suggested that the Planning Staff should take a look at the sidewalk situation along Cleveland before the Planning Commission meeting. MOTION Commissioner Nickle recommended that this preliminary plat be approved subject to Plat Review comments and the city engineer's comments, seconded by Ozment. The motion passed 2-0-0. Elaine Cattaneo, City Planning Secretary, stated that they will need to submit 12 revised copies of the plat to the Planning Office by Monday, July 16th. Zoo
