SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (OCTOBER 9, 1997)
The application was represented by Ms. Sally Boatman of the
Mehlburger Engineering Firm. The Chair asked her if the issues
offered by staff could or would be dealt with by October 30`h
meeting.
Ms. Boatman indicated that she understood the staff comments and
that she would follow-up.
The discussion centered on driveway access, the W. 16`h Street
status and the future of tracts. David Scherer of Public Works
noted that Kanis Road is a construction project of the City to
widen and that work will begin in the near future.
At the end of a lengthy discussion, the Committee determined to
pass the plat to the full Commission and directed the applicant
to provide responses by October 16.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
(OCTOBER 30, 1997)
The Chairman recognized Richard Wood, of the Staff, for purposes
of offering the staff recommendation. Wood proceeded to identify
the plat as to its type. He also pointed out there were some
continuing issues from the rezoning history of the property which
dealt with the eventual usage or discontinuance of Wilson Road
and the abandonment of West 16th Street. Wood pointed out that
the engineer and the applicant would be in attendance today and
could address those issues.

ITEM NO 6_ (Cont.) FILE NO.: 5-1162
Mr. Frank Riggins came to the lectern and identified himself as
well as Mr. Earl Paul, representing the Baptist Medical Systems.
Mr. Riggins stated the issues that were identified would be
addressed in a revised preliminary that would return to the
Commission for the next review cycle for purposes of excising an
additional lot at the corner Aldersgate Road. This revised plat
would be filed on Monday of next week November 3, 1997.
Commissioner Putnam at this point suggested the agenda as drawn
had some 11 items for resolution. Mr. Riggins indicated that
most of those items would be taken care of on this plat. Putnam
stated that he understood at the Subdivision Committee meeting
that these items would be taken care of prior to this public
hearing. Richard Wood responded by saying they have except to
the extent of the two areas of concern that were identified when
the item was introduced.
The Chairman then recognized Commissioner McCarthy who posed the
question to staff as to why this item was not deferred. Wood
responded by saying the plat is a simple issue and the several
remaining items are holdovers which can be dealt with the second
revision. Chairman Lichty stated he did not think a parallel
could be drawn between this item and a earlier issue.
The Chairman then asked if there was anyone else who wished to
address this issue pro or con. Commissioner Earnest posed a
question as to whether or not the issues needed to be resolved
were things such as construction on Kanis Road. Wood stated that
he believed Public Works had that issue of Kanis improvements
pinned down because there is a project underway.
Mr. Riggins returned to the lectern and stated that having again
reviewed this list of items he stated they will be responded to
as the various lots are developed.
The Chairman asked if there was a motion on the floor.
Commissioner Putnam offered a motion to approve the plat as
presented. The motion includes an understanding that the
applicant will address all of the items and conform to all of the
recommendations and address the issues highlighted in the agenda.
The motion was seconded and passed by a vote of 9 ayes and
2 absent.
