Item No. 2 (Continued)
D. ISSUES/LEGAL/TECHNICAL/DESIGN:
The preliminary plat is basically in good form with
resolution of the following several items required:
1. AP&L has requested 10 feet of easement on the
front of Lot 4.
2. Adjacent subdivision and owner names should be
reflected on the plat.
3. Building line on Lot 4 should be turned back to
the north after 200 feet. Also, show 10 foot rear
building line on the final plat.
E. ANALYSIS:
The Planning staff finds no serious fault with this
preliminary/final plat. However, resolving the several
items pointed out in Item D above will be required.
The staff also would like to add that all physical
improvements are under public project on Hinson Road.
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the preliminary/final plat
subject to the resolution of the several items pointed
out in Item D.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (March 1, 1990)
Mrs. White and Mr. William Dean, the project engineer, were
present representing the application. Mr. Dean described
the plat and various elements of the proposal. He indicated
that AP&L deleted the 10 foot easement along Lot 4 frontage
and put 10 square feet of easement at the corners of Lots 1,
2 and 3. He also pointed out that the staff recommendation
presented no serious problem. In a brief discussion, it was
determined that a 25 foot building line on Lot 4 and 10 foot
rear building line is appropriate for this steep lot.
