MEMBERS PRESENT: MEMBERS ABSENT: OTHERS PRESENT: J. David Ozment, Joe Tarvin and J.E. Springborn Jack Cleghorn and Charles Nickle Planning a.m. in Mountain Don Bunn, Elaine Cattaneo, Harry Gray, Madelyn Harris, Ralph Steinburg, Wilson Kimbrough and Dave Jorgensen PRE LIMzrf fPRYY . PLAT OF GREEN MEADOWS ADDITION HOWARD SANDERS & FLOYD HARRIS - S OF MT COMFORT, E OF RUPPLE RD ree t:n.:haR,3 The first item was a Bpi plat of Green Meadows Addition submitted by Harry Gray of Northwest Engineers on behalf of Howard Sanders and Floyd Harris for property located on the south side of Mt. Comfort Road, east of Rupple Road. The property is zoned R-1, Low Density Residential, and contains 30.6 acres with 89 proposed lots. Don Bunn, City Engineer, stated that the standard utility easements requested by the utility companies were granted. He advised that this is a revision from a former preliminary plat that didn't make it as far as the Planning Commission. He added that the changes in this plat involve the location of the tie-in of the road on the west to Mt. Comfort Road. It has been moved farther west in order to provide better sight distance and a better grade. The other issue was the collector street (the extension of Salem Road) location. The owner/developers have agreed to tie Salem Road directly into the intersection of the existing Salem Road on the north side of Mt. Comfort Road. It will go directly south and then curve back to the east in this development. At some point in the future, it will continue on to the south to intersect with the existing portion of Salem Road north of Wedington Drive. The routing of the Salem Road extension between the south end of this subdivision and the existing Salem Road to the south will depend on the development that takes place in that area. In answer to audience, Mr. would line up that, if the approximately some questions from concerned neighbors in the Bunn stated that, for all practical purposes, it with the existing road to the south. He stated property lines run due south, this road would run parallel to the property lines. 2,01 • • • • • Subdivision Committee July 26, 1990 Page 2 In answer to a question from Mr. Steinburg, Mr. Bunn stated that the City will maintain the streets once they are put in, but there shouldn't be a lot of difference in the cost of maintaining a curved street as opposed to a straight street. Harry Gray stated that the developers might prefer to have some curves in that street because of the aesthetics aspect and to discourage speeding traffic. Chairman Tarvin stated that they appreciate the neighbors concerns regarding the location of the future Salem Road, but it doesn't have any bearing on this particular plat. Mr. Bunn stated that there were no other problems associated with the preliminary plat. There are some requirements such as the improvement of Mt. Comfort Road and the approval of streets and drainage plans. In answer to a question from Commissioner Ozment, Mr. Bunn stated that the water line size will have to be resolved before the approval of the final plat. He added that there is a 50' right- of-way shown for Salem Road, but it should be a 60' right-of-way. In answer to a question from Commissioner Ozment, Mr. Gray stated that he had submitted proof of notification of the adjoining property owners and the covenants to the staff. In answer to a question from Commissioner Ozment regarding the Ozarks Electric representative's comments at Plat Review, Mr. Gray stated that they are working with Ozarks Electric on where to place the lines. Commissioner Springborn asked if it was common to have a "Court" run east/west across a collector street such as "Bluebell" is shown. Mr. Bunn stated that they will check with the Water Meter Division to make sure there isn't a problem with this. Mr. Steinburg stated that he would like for the location of the Salem Road extension to be definitely decided before they start mapping out housing additions. Mr. Bunn stated that when and if development takes place in between this property and Salem Road to the south, engineering studies will be looked at and a decision will be made at that point on the alignment. If it is up to the City to come in and build this, it may not be done for a long time. 202 • Subdivision Committee July 26, 1990 Page 3 MOTION Commissioner Springborn moved to approve the preliminary plat subject to the Plat Review comments, seconded by Ozment.
