C. ENGINEERING CONSIDERATIONS
Project is out of the floodway. It should be built
above 298 m.s.l. - 100 Year Floodplain. We recommend
the study of traffic movement at entrance and median
cut for redesign of median. Realignment of entrance
drive to provide "T" intersections, giving clear
indication of traffic right-of-way is recommended.
D. ANALYSIS
No issues of significance were found. The site plan
meets the requirements of the "MF-18" zoning district
and indicates a clear-cut circulation pattern. The
Fire Department, however, would like to have a second
entrance/exit approximately 200' west of the proposed
entrance. The applicant should work with them to
develop an acceptable solution. Water Works has no
objections to the plan but indicates that on -site fire
lines will be required. The applicant will have to
comply with the City's Landscaping Ordinance.
E. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approval, subject to comments made.

F. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
Mr. Bob Lowe represented the applicant. It was brought
out in the meeting that there was some uncertainty as
to the zoning, since it appeared that a portion of the
property was zoned "C-1." The applicant stated that he
would resolve the issue. Since there is no developable
land between the creek line on the north and the
property line, it was requested that the applicant take
the plat out to the center of the floodway. A motion
was made and passed for approval, subject to:
(1) Resolving the zoning issue before the Planning
Commission meeting;
(2) Resolving issue, with the Fire Department; and
(3) Platting to centerline of floodway.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
Mr. Bob Lowe was present in favor of the application. There
were no objectors. A plan was submitted which extended the
plat boundary northward to the centerline of the floodway.
Mr. Lowe stated that a small portion of the site did lie
within a "C-1" zoning district, and he would take the
appropriate steps to down -zone. A motion was made for
approval, subject to:
1. Providing a second entrance/exit approximately 200' of
the proposed as required by Fire Department down -zoning
to "C-1."
The motion passed by a vote of 11 ayes, 0 noes, 0 absent.
