Dedicate right-of-way and improve Indiana Street to residential street standards. 2. Submit internal drainage plan. E. Staff Analysis This proposal represents an attempt by the applicant to provide several multifamily units on property of less than an acre in an attractive manner. Staff is pleased with the design, even though it proposes no side yard on the north. Since it is a definite improvement over the original plan of row -type units, the PUD process allows flexibility as to the bulk and area requirements. The proposed use is characteristic of the area, which has a mixture of multifamily development. A specific final plan and final plat for right-of-way dedication is required before a building permit is received. F. Staff Recommendation Approval, subject to comments made. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW: The applicant was not present. Mr. Graham Catlett, the attorney from the previous item, stated that he was also involved in this project so he would act as its representative at this meeting. Staff reported that a neighbor to the north had requested a 6 -foot fence bordering on her property. The applicant was also requested to make street improvements up to Mississippi which is beyond the property's boundary. Water Works reported that the maximum meter size of the existing two inch main is 3/4 of an inch. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Mr. Burt Taggert was present. No objections were raised, but some members from the neighborhood were present. A 6' fence was requested to shield property owners on the north. The developer agreed. Ms. Barbara Graves, the adjacent owner to the west, asked that the proposal not increase drainage problems and that the developer provide a 6' fence on the west also. There was some discussion as to both property owners participating in the fence on the west, if the developer would improve the street in front of both properties. February 14, 1984 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 8 - Continued As for the street improvement issue, staff requested that the applicant extend them beyond the boundaries of his property, if an undue burden was not imposed. One Commissioner pointed out that the improvements would cause the movement of two trees on Ms. Graves' property and impact her parking. Finally, a motion was made and passed for approval subject to fencing only on the north side and no improvements beyond the property's boundaries. The vote was 11 ayes, 0 noes and 0 absent.
