HOSKINS for property located at 731 S. RAZORBACK ROAD, S OF 6TH STREET. The property is zoned I-1, HEAVY COMMERCIAL/LIGHT INDUSTRIAL and contains approximately 3.04 acres. The request is to divide the subject property into two tracts of 2.31 and 0.73 acres. Jesse Fulcher, Current Planner, gave the staff report, describing the request for a lot split. Staff is recommending approval with conditions as listed in the staff report. The Commissioners may strike condition #1(d), requiring additional right-of-way, as the State acquired 115 feet of right- of-way for the widening and the City only requires 97 feet. Derrick Thomas, applicant, stated he had wondered about the 20 foot utility easement over the overhead electric, as they will be developing this site and would prefer to not have to vacate it at a later date. Fulcher stated he may need to contact the utility company to discuss, but staff was supportive of that request. No public comment was received. Motion: Commissioner Trumbo made a motion to forward the request to Planning Commission with a recommendation of approval, striking condition #1(d). Commissioner Kennedy seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed with a vote of 3-0-0. Subdivision Committee August 28, 2008 Page 5 of 5 PPL 08-3072: Preliminary Plat (TWIN CREEKS VILLAGE, 172): Submitted by MCCLELLAND CONSULTING ENGINEERS for property located at THE NE AND SE CORNER OF GREGG AVENUE AND VAN ASCHE DRIVE. The property is zoned C-1, NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL and contains approximately 20.71 acres. The request is for a commercial subdivision with 6 commercial lots. Commissioner Graves stated no applicant was present, and that in this case we usually table an item, but let's go ahead and have the staff report. Jesse Fulcher, Current Planner, gave the staff report, describing the request, which is bounded by Gregg Avenue and the recent extension of Van Asche. The proposal is to split the tracts for future development. Staff is recommending the item be forwarded with conditions as listed in the staff report. At the time of individual lot development, we will look at a requirement for an assessment for a signal at Steele & Van Asche. Access to Gregg does meet the access management standards. Glenn Newman, Staff Engineer, stated that a previous grading permit has been issued on this site, and we'll take a look at drainage and other grading at the time of development. Commissioner Graves stated that there was no applicant and no public comment received. He asked other commissioners if they want to proceed. Commissioner Trumbo stated that he would prefer to have the applicant here, but the request seems straightforward and he is okay with forwarding it on. Commissioner Graves stated that it was the second time this week this has happened. He stated that staff needs to stress to the applicants to be present for their item. If it's important enough for to us to be here, it should be important enough for them to be here, as well. Motion: Commissioner Kennedy made a motion to forward the request to Planning Commission. Commissioner Trumbo seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion passed with a vote of 3- 0-0. All business being concluded, the meeting was adjourned at 9:17 AM.
