Corey Granderson, Staff Engineer, stated that detention is not existing and not required. There
will be more greenspace after they redevelop the site.
Commissioner Cook asked why the cross connection was so close to the street.
Fulcher stated there is a retaining wall along the property line, which limits the cross connection to
the area of the site near the street.
Commissioner Chesser stated he was concerned with splitting off the tree preservation area.
Andrew Garner, City Planning Director, stated that it’s hard to deny a lot split, but there might be
a reason hold it up if it’s associated with a large scale development. Might help to make a motion
regarding this issue.
Commissioner Chesser stated that Martin Luther King Boulevard should be improved like College
Avenue.
Motion:
Commissioner Chesser made a motion to forward LSD 16-5302 to the Planning Commission with
conditions of approval as recommended by staff, adding a condition of approval that the previously

be required as part of the redevelopment of this site. Commissioner Bunch seconded the motion.
