STAFF REPORT
A. EXISTING CONDITIONS
This site is principally located on the eastern slope
of a large hill mass, rising from an elevation of 350
up to elevations of 410 or more.
B. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL
This is a proposal to plat 27.5 acres into a
residential subdivision of single family homes.
Several variances have been requested. They include a
waiver of all sidewalks required. Any improvements on
Hinson Road and double frontage on Lots 27, 28, 29 and
partial street improvements adjacent to Lots 1 - 4.
1. Conformance to Ordinance
The variances are stated above.
0 2. Legal Considerations
K,
None at this time.
C. ENGINEERING CONSIDERATIONS
Recommendations include:
1. Hinson Road should be improved or tied to future
development.
D. ANALYSIS
This is a request for double frontage on the lots
mentioned and the partial street improvements adjacent
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.
E. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approval, subject to conditions stated above.

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.)

Plan issues, this plat was deferred until February 24, 1981
