The revised plan removes a front yard encroachment as required by L. R. Wastewater Utility, leaving the only encroachment into the rear yard, as outlined previously. Along with the revised site plan, the applicant submitted sign -offs from all five public utility companies, approving the rear encroachment and noting that no utility lines will be affected. Therefore, there are no outstanding issues associated with this application. H. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approval of the revised PCD subject to the applicant filing a replat (staff -level), adjusting the rear platted building line. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (AUGUST 13, 1998) The applicant was not present. Staff gave a brief description of the proposal. Staff noted that the only issue was that L. R. Wastewater Utility wanted no encroachment into the required 10 foot front yard. Staff indicated that the applicant would be contacted and this issue would be resolved. The Commission forwarded the issue to the full Commission for resolution. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (SEPTEMBER 3, 1998) Staff presented a positive recommendation on this application, as there were no further issues for resolution. There were no objectors to this matter. The Chairman placed the item before the Commission for inclusion within the Consent Agenda for approval as recommended by staff. A motion to that effect was made.
