Engineering Comments (1) This property is subject to the Floodway Ordinance. (2) Place floor elevations for Lots 745 through 749; discuss with Mike Batie in the City Engineer's Office. (3) Island should be maintenance free to the City. (4) Locate driveway at school; Engineering Division prefers only one driveway at the site. E. Analysis No significant problems have been found, providing that the applicant adheres to Engineering comments and the floodplain data as indicated. Staff has no opposition to the continuation of the pedestrian walkway. F. Staff Recommendation Approval, subject to comments made. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW: The applicant questioned the request for relocation of the driveway. It was explained that this was to prevent a direct cross flow from the school across the street. He agreed to indicate the school's driveway on the plat. He stated that the island would be a part of the Property Owners' Association. The Committee passed this to the Commission, provided that floodplain details were worked out with Engineering and placed on the final plat. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Mr. Chris McGetrick, Engineer, represented the developer. Mr. Tom Boyd, resident of Otter Creek, was present. He reported that the Home Owners' Association did not want to accept maintenance of the island. He requested that in future proposals in Otter Creek, the Commission consider requiring the drainage channels to be lined with concrete, so as to prohibit further maintenance expense by the property owners. The Commission questioned whether or not the AP&L easement was shown correctly on the plat. The applicant agreed to remove the island from the plat and work with staff to either indicate the easement as a separate tract or extend the lot lines to the property line boundary.
