STATEMENT OF PROPOSAL:
The applicant proposes a preliminary plat for a 25.5 acre tract,
to include 58 residential lots and construction of 3,500 feet of
residential streets. All streets are proposed to be built to
standard residential street width (27 feet); however, no
sidewalks are proposed to be constructed along those cul-de-sac
streets which qualify in length as minor residential streets. A
sidewalk, then, is proposed to be constructed only along Apple
Ave. The southern and eastern boundary of the tract bound
Fourche Bayou, and dedication of the floodway to the City for
park area is proposed. (An access easement is to be provided for
access from the public street to the floodway/park area.) Some
of the lots are within the 100-year flood plain area, and a
minimum floor elevation has been established for homes in this
area. The first phase of construction is to involve construction
of Apple Ave. from Frazier Pike to the southern limits of Lot 45,
and Apple Blossom Cove from Apple Ave. to the western limits of
Lot 47, and to develop Lots 60, 61, 45, 46, and 47. Subsequent
phases of development will depend on sales of home sites within
the first phase.

(NOVEMBER 22, 1995)
Mr. Pat McGetrick, with McGetrick Engineering, the project
engineer, was present. Staff outlined the features of the
proposed subdivision, and reviewed with the Committee members and
Mr. McGetrick the comments contained in the discussion outline.
David Scherer, with the Public Works staff, reviewed the Public
Works comments with Mr. McGetrick, and there was a discussion on
there not being a need to extend Apple Ave., as shown on the

termination. Mr. McGetrick responded that he would make this
change. He also related that all information noted as being
needed or deficient would be provided. The Committee forwarded
