E. ANALYSIS•
The Planning Staff's review of this replat finds little to
comment on. The applicant needs to provide written consent
from Spring Valley Realty Company, Inc. as stated in the
Bill of Assurance and the Arkansas Health Department's
approval for the additional connection to the private sewer
system.
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends the approval of this replat subject to the
applicant providing written consent from Spring Valley
Realty Company, Inc. and the Arkansas Health Department's
approval. Further, the waivers will be granted as requested
and forwarded to the City Board of Directors.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (OCTOBER 3, 1991)
The applicant was present. The staff's recommendation was
discussed. Mr. McGetrick indicated that he will provide a
written consent from Spring Valley Realty Company and the
Arkansas Health Department before the Planning Commission
meeting. There were no significant issues to relate to the
full Commission. The item was forwarded without further
comments.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (OCTOBER 22, 1991)
The owner and engineer, Mr. McGetrick, were present.
Mr. McGetrick offered an overview of his client's request
indicating that no new lots were being created. He stated the
two lots have existed since the late 19601s. Only one new
building site will be created since a residence exists on the
other lot.
A lengthy discussion followed and staff pointed out there was a
letter of objection from a neighbor. The objector, Mrs. Mikes,
presented her thoughts, which the Bill of Assurance requires
approval from the property owners before replatting.
Another lengthy discussion was held involving staff and the
Commission on whether the Bill of Assurance enforcement was their
responsibility. The consensus was whether it should be reviewed,
but not be the determining factor in the Commission's action.
Additional items of information were introduced to support both
sides of the matter, however were found to be inconclusive.
