PC-85-4 - Resubdivision of Lot 3 of Conover's Third Subdivision by John &
Alice Conover & Robert Corwin
----- ------- - ------ ------
Chairman Groner stated that the third item on the agenda was the resubdivi-
sion of Lot 3 of Conover's Third Subdivison. 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. Feltz stated that it is on
a private road. Mr. Clarage estimated the lot to be approximatley 3 1/2 acres
with lot 2 having 2 acres and lot 1 having 1 1/2 acres. Mr. Feltz inquired as
to whether the property is on septic. Mr. Johnson stated that it is,
The members agreed the lot should have been
split better. Mr. Langland inquired as to whether there would be enough
building space. Mr. Clarage suggested putting more space at the end for a
turn around easement .
Mr. Langland made a motion to approve recommendation of the resubdivision of
Lot 3 of Conover's Third Subdivision subject to the inclusion of a turn around
easement to be provided along the east line of the subdivided property in the
depth that the County would feel appropriate for turn around purposes for fire
and emergency access. Mr. Holdiman seconded the motion. A roll call vote was
taken.
Feltz - yes Holdiman - yes Langland - yes
Price - yes Groner - yes Ament - yes
The motion carried 6-0 .
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 .
