This is a request for double frontage on the lots

to Lots 1-4. Staff is supportive of a waiver of street
improvements for Hinson Road at this point, but not in
lieu cash contributions. The applicant should be
liable financially for his share of the cost of the
improvements. Staff is also suggesting that the
applicant make some provision for resolving the
ownership of the triangular piece of property adjacent
to Hinson Road so that future development of the street
will not be jeopardized.

Approval, subject to conditions stated above.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS:

voting: 4 ayes, 0 nays, 1 abstention (Bill Hastings) to
recommend approval of the plat and the variances.
(Editor's Note: As a follow-up to the conversation on this
plat, the Committee accepted a recommendation from Mr. Joe
White of Ed Smith Engineers that the City perform a
centerline study of Hinson Road in order that the several
developments along this street may be properly dealt with by
engineers.)

After a lengthy discussion of the sidewalk and Master Street
Plan issues, this plat was deferred until February 24, 1981
