B. Development Proposal
To plat nine lots, on 2.5 acres taking access by way of
a short cul-de-sac off Kerby Road. The lots are to be
utilized as detached single family residences.
C. Engineering Comments
(1) Existing downstream drainage does not exist
through Parkway Place Subdivision. Therefore, the
developer is required to provide some means to
detain the water and spread the water instead of
concentrating when it drains back to the
northeast.
(2) Boundary street improvements are required on Kirby
Road. Due to the topography in the south end of
Kirby Road (steep hill), the Engineering staff
would like to discuss with the developer the
possible reconstruction of the hill in lieu of
other improvements on Kirby Road. Please the
Engineering staff for further details.
D. Analysis
The plat as filed is in good shape except for three
areas of concern: (1) sidewalks along Kerby Road,
(2) 30' building line on Kerby Road, and (3) site
distance on Kerby south of the entrance.
E. Staff 'Recommendation
Approval as filed with compliance requirement on
sidewalks and building line. We defer to the City
Engineer on the site distance question.
F. Subdivision Committee Review
Engineering explained that the hill to the south needed
to be lowered since it created a very dangerous
situation. The applicant's engineer had not yet
informed his client of this requirement. He was asked
to work with Engineering regarding the extent of his
involvement in this matter.

The Committee felt that no sidewalk improvements would
be required due to the cost involved if the applicant
participates in the reconstruction of the hill.
Utilities - Water main extension plus on -site fire
protection required. Acreage charge of $300 per acre
may apply.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
The applicant was present. There were no objectors. Staff
reported that Winrock Development Company was concerned that
Kings Pointe Cove did not line up with Summit Ridge Drive,
which is their plat to the west. Kings Pointe Cove is
located 20' to 25' south of Summit Ridge. Both engineers
were present and worked out an agreement regarding the
off -set.
Engineering recommended that the final plat be conditioned
upon City participation in the improvement of the site
distance on Kirby Road and the cutting down of the hill.
The owner understood that without City approval and funding,
his development costs would be an additional $10,000.
A motion was made for approval, subject to working out an
alignment of the intersection with Engineering. The vote
was 11 ayes,,0 noes, and 0 absent.
