This is a request by the applicant to final plat a recently
approved preliminary in two phases. The plan has not been
altered in any other fashion. The reason relates to the
need for construction of a required 8-5" service line, which
would allow for a fire hydrant within 400' of every corner
of existing warehouse on Lot 1. Water Works has agreed to
allow postponement of this construction until a final is
filed on Lot 1. Thus, the applicant is requesting that only
Lot 2 be finaled at this time. He wants to postpone
construction of the water line because: (1) an easement is
required that would sever Lot 1, and the owner is uncertain
as to the ultimate development plans for Lot 1; (2) the
design and construction of the water line would create an
additional delay in selling Lot 2; and (3) the expense of
$9,000 to $12,000 for design and construction is an expense
that the owner would like to defer until further development
of the property makes it economically feasible.

SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIE�i
The issue discussed concerned whether or not approval of the
request would discourage the owner from ever final platting
Lot 1 and, thereby, providing the fire line requested by the
utilities.
The applicant was requested to revise the plat by moving the
western lot line of Lot 2 further west so that a permanent
access easement would be established for access to Lot 1.
WATER WORKS - A 6" or 8" fire service line will be required
for development of the second phase.
�,���NNTNG COMMISSION ACTIDN
The applicant was represented by Mr. Bill Ruck of Garver &
Garver. There were no objectors. A motion was made to
approve the phasing request, subject to:
1.) Moving lot line of smaller lot so that a permanent
easement would be platted to the larger lot.
2.) Building Permit process on larger lot, which should be
renamed I-at-2, be conditioned on provision of the fire line.
The motion passed by a vote of: 10 ayes, 0 noes, 0 absent
