Mr. Johnson stated that this petition did not need to go in front of the County Board for a vote due to the fact that they are making only one split. They would, however, like the approval of the City since it is within the 1 1 /2 mile jurisdiction. They ` would like to make two building lots on Lot 3.

Mr. Johnson presented the tentative plans for the annexation of Conover's Subdivision. He stated that Mr. Conover would like the Plan Commission's opinions on it before they go ahead with the annexation. Mr. Johnson stated that they had met with the State , and the State had approved the the exit. However, the State would like, to see a slow down lane or the frontage road moved back. It will be zoned for light business. There is no heavy traffic from Plano. The road is narrow. The State will allow them to dump surface water off under the road with a permit. They would like to try to save the trees that are planted along the road.- North Avenue would be a collector street. Mr. Johnson stated that Conover's may not annex if they have to make alot of changes. The City would like to have the business in. It was suggested that there be a right hand turn lane on Route 34. This would not be feasible due to the ditch along the road, and it would make the turn narrower. Mr. Groner questioned about the stop lights that are to be put at the intersection. Mr. Johnson stated that the lights will be put in when the improvements are made on Game Farm Road. Mr. Ament suggested putting stop signs on North Street back away from the entrance. It was felt that the businesses may want a different entrance. Mr. Feltz suggested moving the trees with a transplanter. Mr. Clarage suggested moving a portion of the frontage road back so there would be a 20 feet radius rather than 10 feet, and they would stay within the right of way. Mr. Clarage stated that five of the trees would have to be transplanted. He felt that this all could be done for under $ 1 ,500. They would not lose anything on the building lots. Mr. Hayden felt that the stop signs should also be put in. Mr. Johnson stated that he would like to see the tar and chip used for the street surface. The street widths follow the subdivision control ordinance. Mr. Johnson stated that Conover's would like to tie into the storm drain, but if not , he would like to see an easement provided on private property to the west of Game Farm Road and have it run into the grass and then into the creek. Mr. Johnson stated that if Conover's agree with the suggestions made, it may come back before the Plan Commission. Mr. Ament made a motion to adjourn. Mrs. Price seconded the motion. All members were in favor. The meeting was adjourned . ���y 1� Debbie Robertson, Rec. Secretary
