(2) Relocation of the collector rising north of Rock Creek Parkway through the Mooser tract. (3) Prevention of north and south cross -flow (between Beckenham and St. Charles). (4) Master Street Plan amendment to tie a western collector in with property to south. (5) Utility service. June 12, 1984 SUBDIVISIONS Item No. 1 - Continued 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.
