D. ENGINEERING COMMENTS:
PUBLIC WORKS CONDITIONS:
1. Dedication of right-of-way is required to 60 feet wide

Straighten the "S" curve of a smoother transition to

3. Barrow Road is listed on the Master Street Plan as a
minor arterial. A dedication of right-of-way will be
required to 45 feet from centerline for this 5 lane
minor arterial.
4. Provide design of streets conforming to "MSP" (Master
Street Plan). Construct street improvements to Labette
Drive including 5 foot sidewalks.
5. Stormwater detention ordinance applies to this property.
6. Eliminate drive way and access across Lot 1 parking lot.
The driveway does not meet City Ordinance and creates
traffic congestion at Barrow Road.

Ordinance Sec. 31-210. Redesign with a 25 foot wide
median and 18 foot lane.
8. Grading permit will be required on this new development,
if it disturbs more than one acre.

G. ANALYSIS•
A revised plat was submitted to staff on January 22, 1998.
The revision addresses all outstanding issues as discussed
by the Subdivision Committee.
The applicant has redesigned Labette Drive, providing a "T-
intersection at the west property line as requested by
Public Works. The access drive across Lot 1 has been
removed from the plat.
H. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat subject to
compliance with the conditions noted in paragraphs D and E.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT:
Pat McGetrick was present, representing the application. Staff
briefly introduced the item.
Several of the Public works concerns were discussed. These
included the reverse curve on Labette Drive, the access drive
across Lot 1, and the double drive entrance to Labette Drive.
Mr. McGetrick indicated that he would not be able to achieve the
appropriate curve radii and would likely request a waiver of the
requirement. He also indicated that a revised plat would be
submitted to staff addressing as many of the concerns as
possible.
The Committee determined that the lot size for Lot 4 meets the
minimum size requirement of one (1) acre due to the fact that the
density for multi -family lots is measured to the street
centerline.
After additional discussion, the Committee forwarded the plat to
the full Commission for final action.
