RE: COURTYARD ADDITION FINAL. PLAT REVIEWED (5TH WEST & MAIN STREET)
TOPIC: (400,108,,,COURTYARD ADDITION,FINAL PLATS,HOMESTEAD,5TH WEST,
MAIN STREET)
Final plat review of the Courtyard Addition on 5th West and Main. Joe
showed the plat and explained it. We previously had approved a site
plan but they had not submitted a final plat. The only exception they
have noted on the plat is the lot width. Joe felt everything else
seems to meet the regulations. They will come in for a variance on the
percent of concrete at the next meeting. (John Millar arrived) A
motion was made by Jim Long that we approve the plat based upon Joe's
recommendation that it meets all regulations. Seconded by John Watson
(Ted Whyte abstained) All others voting aye.
RE: BOWEN & THOMASON PLAT APPROVED
TOPIC: (400,108,,,BOWEN & THOMASON,PLATS,RIGHT OF WAY,6TH SOUTH,
3RD WEST,2ND WEST)
Bowen & Thomason Plat- Rose took this plat around to all the members
and seven approved it, one did not sign and two voted against it. John
asked Joe if all the property owners signed the plat. Joe explained
they had tried to get everyone within the ground that Bowen and
Thomason originally owned to be signatures for the plat so we could get •
the right-a-way for 6th South, 3rd West and 2nd West. Bowen and
Thomason have already sold off property to nursing home, to Bill
Henderson and Bob Lee so in the end what we were able to get is a
~~
r right-a-way for 6th South, 3rd West and part of 2nd West. In sometime
in the future we will still have to get a portion shown in pink on the
plat for the East, roughly 1/3 of the right-a-way for 2nd West and a
little strip on either side if we get our full 90 or 99 foot
right-a-way. We do have a 80 foot right-a-way. He further explained
the plat. Bob Lee did not sign it because he wanted the city to do the
improvements on the street or pay him for it. If Bob Lee wants to
develope his land he will have to pay for the improvements. John
reminded the group they had already approved the plat when Rose carried
it around to the group. A motion was made by Ted Whyte and seconded by
Jim Long to approve the Bowen & Thomason Plat. Those voting nay: Doug
Smith and Mike Thueson, all others voting aye. Motion passes.
RE: ASSISTED LIVING CENTER PLOT PLAN ACCEPTED
TOPIC: (400,109,,,ASSISTED LIVING CENTER,PLOT PLANS,FIRE LANES,
PARKING,DRAINAGE)
Assisted Living Center Plot Plan- Joe explained the plan and showed the
site plan, showing the development portion of the lot. The building
will be the interior portion with a courtyard. Showing the main
entrance on 3rd West. They will have 24 parking spaces which is within
the requirements of the ordinance. It is a flat lot on a hill side
location so they are cutting down with the slop with 6 to 8 feet on the
east and there will be a fill of around 6 feet from the back of
sidewalk at another location up to the base of the building. Their
! • driveway coming in is around 3 to 4~ grade. Showing the crushed gravel
fire lane that the fire department requested with a 6~ grade. A
discussion on the parking and comparing it with the Nursing Home
parking. John Millar suggested that we need to review our ordinance,
but as far as this unit is concerned it is in compliance with our
ordinance. The ordinance requires parking for Multi Family Dwelling for
the elderly to be .7 spaces per unit, which would mean 27 parking
places. (Suggestion that at a work meeting, we need to review and
possibly adjust the parking for a nursing home.) Discussion on gravel
fire lane vs a paved road. Discussion on how this unit could be
classified. Their staff parking on the biggest shift was 12. John
Millar stated he thought the most parking places we can require is 27.
A motion was made by Jim Long to accept this plan and require the
number of parking places required for Multi Family for the Elderly
which would be 27 parking places. (discussion) That they design an
additional drainage plan in addition to what they have already shown
and that it be so indicated on their site plan. Seconded by Mary Ann.
All Aye (discussion on the roads in that area)
We need to draft a Drainage Ordinance.
Mike Thueson and Ted Whyte left at 8:00 P.M.

RE: MILLHOLLOW SUBDIVISION DISCUSSED
TOPIC: (400,110,,,MILLHOLLOW SUBDIVISION,IMPACT ZONE,PLATS,
ANNEXATIONS,WATER HOOK UP,SEWER HOOK UP)
Millhollow Subdivision- Mr Sepherd was at the meeting to discuss the
plat. He first discussed their future plans on the rest of their
property on the East Side. They own about 30 acres of land. They had
bought about 44 acres. The future development will probably be a long
time away. This parcel is off the hill of Millhollow and goes into the
Gene Palmer property. He wanted to talk about the road situation and
future development on the East side. (discussion on the roads and
location) Talking about a road through Smith property for access and
the Gene Palmer property which would have to be developed first. Mr
Sepherd stated that they would not object to an L.I.D. by the three
houses indicated which would widen the road.
Bruce Sutherland commented on the Millhollow street. About three years
ago we suggested an L.I.D. for that street and no one wanted it so the
City Council decided that because it the narrowest road in the city and
probably the most dangerous, we would not require it at the present
time but when the street needs to be repaired then it will be widened.
Mr Sepherd indicated the portion that is not in the city but it is in
the Impact Zone. If it is annexed into the city then they can require
an L.I.D. John Millar stated that with the three lots that are built
on now it would be difficult to put in a 100 feet of curb and gutter •
south and 200 feet of curb and gutter north and leave those three
pieces floating. Mr Sepherd discussed the drainage on Millhollow. John
Millar stated that those three lots are not in the city but on city
water. The city has a policy now that says that if you want to connect
on the city services you will have to be annexed. Mr Sepherd explained
that Millhollow was costly because they had to blast a great deal of
the way and the city required them to put in a 6" water line and a 12"
sewer line. The sale of those lots did not more than cover putting in
those lines. They understood at that time that by putting it in under
city code they could connect to it. .Roger asked if the county now has
a moratorium on sub divisions and the reason for the moratorium is to
get the plans through the county and with their requirements they will
require the road in the county can we put this on hold? John Millar
told him because this is in the Impact Zone it is under our
jurisdiction. That was the agreement when we set the Impact Zone.
Millhollow Subdivision #2 plat. He explained that two lots were too
small so they increased the size of those lots on the north, Lots A &
B. A doctor is buying the two lots under contract and is upset with
what has transpired. Mr Sepherd told him if he was unhappy about
anything they would refund his money. John Millar asked if the four
lots that have been built on are in another plat? Mr Sepherd told him
they were not. They were sold in leaps and bounds. Joe asked. if they
would be signatures to this plat? Mr Sepherd told him they were nat
included in this plat. They wrap around these lots. (discussion)
Stephen told Mr Sepherd that the state law does not allow plating the •
three lots and not including the four. He told him he would have to
get those four signatures on this plat, because this was all originally
//1
~•
one parcel. When the fifth lot is sold off the original parcel then
the entire parcel must be platted. It doesn't mean you get to start
platting on the fifth lot. It means if you sell it into more than five
pieces you must plat the entire area. Mr Sepherd stated that is why
they tried to go around them, they don't own those parcels. Stephen
stated you don't have to own them. The way the law reads, they can't
object to the plat as long as it does not affect their lot lines. You
have to include them in the plat and they have to be signatures on the
plat. The statute spells it out quite clearly that they must be
included but they cannot raise an objection unless you are tempting to
modify their lot lines. The 30 foot piece set back would be
objectionable if these four are not willing to go with the 30 foot
setback. When you go to the fifth lot you have triggered the
requirement that you plat it and that means you plat the entire parcel.
It is similar to what they just did with the Ray Walker property. They
have platted all but one lot, yet they had to go back and get
signatures from all the property owners. If you take the 30 foot
right-a-way off and dedicate that which you own and re-draw the plat
the lot lines will not be affected. You will dedicate your 30 foot
right-a-way which is all you have authority to dedicate. We will have
to deal with those property owners when and if the road gets
expanded. All that will do is to preclude them from having an
abjection. You will still have to get them to sign it, but if they
refuse to sign it, the statute provides a method for which you can get
it approved without their signatures, but you have to attempt to get
. their signatures and show an argument why they are going beyond their
authority.
John Millar stated that if these problems are cleared up he did not see
anything wrong with the plat but the question is with the city council.
Do they want this annexed where water and sewer is an issue?
(discussion on a small lot) John Millar stated it needs to be
understood just because we allow it to be a lot, does not mean we will
grant a variance on it sometime in the future for the setback. Those
lots are the required size, but part of them are on the hill side.
John also stated that we need to direct him exactly what he needs to do
to get this passed.
(1) is to draw this plat to include all lots with an individua_1
signature block for each property owner. (discussion) Stephen stated
that the board does not have to approve the plat at all, because the
original owner created the problem. You can require that the original
owner go back and fix it. The subdivision was created without a
right-a-way. At some point if the city opts to widen that road and the
plat is accepted as Stephen had drawn on the plat, then the city will
probably have to purchase the 30 foot setbacks for any portion they
use. The problem was created when the other four lots were developed.
(2) If the city wants this annexed before it is served by water and
sewer, which would mean to in order to develope any meaningful
annexation you would have to annex a portion of the undeveloped
,, • property on the East side of the road. That would get you around a
possibility of conflict with the moratorium on county subdivisions
which is coming. If you will redraw it with those lots it would
probably be acceptable. He thought we would be okay-with not putting in
~i ~
curb and gutter now. This would have to go before the council with the •
wavers being signed. Joe stated that we would have a development
agreement that would be signed by you and the city that would spell out
whether there would be curb, gutter and sidewalk. The water and sewer
would have to be extended across the frontage of the far south lot.
A motion was made by Doug Smith if he replats this with the conditions
as previously stated by John Millar and brings it back to this group we
will consider accepting it. Seconded by Davawn Beattie. All Aye.
John Watson reported on the parking lot at the courthouse and also the
project at the hospital.
Meeting adjourned.
