voting action at this time.

Engineering Comments:
1. Request preliminary street grades be submitted for
review.
2. Discuss overall drainage plan with City
Engineers.... will detention concepts be used?
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW:
Mr. Don Chambers of Mehlburger, Tanner and Renshaw and
Mr. Melvin Bell, owner of the property were present.
Mr. Chambers explained that he wanted the Commission to
review this project because of the significant impact that
it would have on the area, and due to previous controversial
issues which are related. The Committee reviewed the plan
and decided that this should not go on to the Commission
until the applicant is ready to file a preliminary plat. It
was decided that the applicant should: (1) examine previous
collector commitments on the St. Charles plat to the south
and their relationship to the plat, (2) work with the
adjacent developer on utilities, (3) work with Water Works
on location of the water tank, and (4) identify traffic
impact on surrounding neighborhoods since a significant
amount of lots will access onto Beckenham and the only
current public access to the property is via Ridge Haven
Road.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
None.
