MEMBERS PRESENT - OTHERS PRESENT: Jerry Allred, Tom Suchecki and Jana Lynn Britton Alett Little, Don Bunn, Dave Jorgensen and Sharon Langley PRELIMINARY PLAT - NORTHWEST ACRES, PHASE IV DR. JAMES MOORE - N OF WEDINGTON, W OF RUPPLE The only item on the agenda was a request for approval of a preliminary plat for Northwest Acres, Phase IV, submitted by Dave Jorgensen on behalf of Dr. James Moore for property located north of Wedington and west of Rupple Road. The property contains 10 acres with 23 proposed lots and is presently zoned R-1, Low Density Residential. Mr. Allred pointed out the lots in the subdivision would fit in R-1 zoning so they did. not need to discuss the zoning. Mr. Jorgensen explained the street dead -ended at Lot 13 because there was a deep ravine at that location. He also pointed out the east -west street would provide access for future development. He advised the street location could change in order to line-up with other development. He explained they were requesting a rezoning to R-1.5. He further noted he believed the use of the property should always be on the plat. Ms. Britton stated she understood that Dr. Moore did not want to put single-family homes in this area but, if they constructed duplexes, the adjoining property would be developed in duplexes and it would go on and on. She advised there had to be some type of transition. She further noted it was not so much duplexes as the quality of the duplexes in that area. She stated the neighborhood was new and was already deteriorating. Mr. Jorgensen agreed some of the duplexes in the area were not of good quality but he did not believe that could be controlled by the Planning Commission. He further stated he was in favor of mixing zoning but, in this case, he did not believe single- family homes would sell in this area. Ms. Britton pointed out that, if part of the adjoining 47 acres were to be developed as single-family homes, there would be an entire neighborhood of single-family homes. MOTION Mr. Suchecki moved to approve and forward the plat to the Planning Commission. The meeting adjourned at 10:45 a.m.
