E. ANALYSIS•
The Planning staff finds very little to comment on in
connection with this preliminary plat. There are several
missing items concerning the plat that we feel require
additional work on the part of the developer and engineer.
This does include the request for waiver of a pipe -stem lot,
and all items required by the Ordinance which should_be
included on the plat.
F. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat subject
to the resolution of the above items and submission of the
corrected plat before the Planning Commission meeting.
SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT:
r
(FEBRUARY 6, 1992)
The application was represented by Mr. Joe White, the engineer on
the project. A short discussion of the preliminary plat was
held. Mr. White received the checklist from the Planning staff
that includes all required information that should be included on
the plat. He agreed to submit a revised plat prior to the
Planning Commission meeting. He also agreed to ask for a waiver
of the pipe -stem lots.
Jerry Gardner of Public Works indicated the proposed street
should be a minimum of 24 feet wide with a 45 foot easement.
Mr. White agreed to make the changes as suggested by the
Engineering staff. Mr. White also agreed to move the front
building lines to meet the Ordinance standards. The matter was
forwarded to the full Commission for a final recommendation.
