Item No. 6 - Continued
(2) Improve Reservoir Road to minor arterial
standards.
(3) Submit internal drainage plan to include
detention.
E. Analysis
This item was submitted as a PUD, since it involves the
replatting of a parcel into three lots served only by
an 18' private drive. The ordinance requires that
every lot abut upon a private street. Due to the small
number of lots, staff does not oppose the proposal
provided the drive is a minimum of 20'.
F. Staff Recommendation
Approval, subject to comments made.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW:
The applicant agreed to provide a 20-foot drive as requested
by staff.
Water Works - The access easement should be designated as an
access and utility easement. A watermain extension will be
required in Reservoir Road and in the easement to serve
i Lots 2 and 3.
CANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
Mr. Joe White represented the applicant. Mr. Scotty Scholl,
a member of the Unity Church Board of Directors, was
present. He reported that their parking lot abutted the
project on the south. There is an existing right of access
to rental property owned by the applicant through the
parking lot. He requested that the applicant: (1) continue
street through the plan for access to the rental property,
which would allow church to gain extra parking spaces;
(2) the plan be modified so that the street be located on
the northern edge of the property or build a fence to
discourage residents from parking on the church property;
(3) explain drainage and water retention since there was a
possibility of a great amount of runoff; and (4) explain
sewer service.

Item No. 6 - Continued
Mr. White explained that a sewer would be provided by the
City by an extension and that he was not in a position to
say that the private drive would be extended to serve the
rental property.
Mr. Larry Peters of L & L Real Estate represented his
father. He expressed concern that major disturbance of the
land may cause a water problem to the north.
Mr. White explained that Mr. Peters was upstream from the
project, so there shouldn't be a problem. Another resident,
Mr. John Ruthbend of 2722 Reservoir, expressed concerns
about drainage and a site distance problem. Mr. Scholl also
felt that the drive would aggravate an existing traffic
problem. The Commission did not feel that this development
was extensive enough to create a traffic hazard.
Finally, a motion for approval was made, subject to the
building line of Lot 3 being moved to the east side of the
drainage easement. The vote: 10 ayes, 0 noes and
1 abstention.
