G. ANALYSIS:
FILE NO.: S-200-F
The applicant submitted a revised preliminary plat drawing
to staff on June 23, 1999. The revised plat addresses all
of the concerns as raised by staff and the Subdivision
Committee.
The revised plat shows a shared driveway for Lots 4B and 4C
as requested by Public Works. The applicant notes an
understanding that this drive will be limited to right -in
and right -out traffic only. The revised plat also notes
the decel lane and the 10 foot sidewalk and utility
easement as required by Public Works.
Otherwise, there should be no outstanding issues associated
with the revised plat. The proposed revisions to the
preliminary plat should have no adverse effects on the
adjacent property.

subject to compliance with the requirements as noted in
