Mr. Langland asked if Mr. Wegner had the original preliminary plat. Mr. Wegner responded negatively. The original plat had been filed four or five years ago. Mr. Langland inquired if the final plat conformed to the original one filed. Mr. Clarage stated the plat should indicate the required set back lines. The front yard should be shown as there is a twenty-five foot front yard requirement for manufacturing districts. He stated the final plat should show all final improvements plans such as drainage, sewer and water main sizes, lighting, etc. He also stated the city engineer has to set a bond for improvements and that the Department of Public Works and the city engineer needed to approve the plat.

Motion carried. 77.22 James Stark - Bristol Station - Preannexation Attorney Jim Wilson who is an associate of Dallas Ingemunson, presented a Petition for PreAnnexation Agreement* He stated there should have been a public hearing but that t e o c al no ice ah d not been published in the paper and that the hearing was scheduled for October. Mr. Clarage stated there were a number of items which needed clarification. He stated that for a preannexation, there were a number of zoning requirements. He stated there should be a certified survey and stated that sketches were insufficient for a formal preannexation agreement. It should be drawn up in exhibit (picture) form for a permanent record9 and should be entitled Plat of Survey including legal descriptions. Secondly, he stated the B-3 zoning shown on the westerly edge off Rte. x#47 should be changed. The plan commission had previously stated that we did not want B-3 zoning abutting residential areas and that this would have to be changed. Thirdlyq he stated the sketch plan presented tonight showed fifty feet rightaways for streets. The ,city would not agree to this. Because of the intensity of use in a commercial district, there could be up to eighty feet required for rightaways. Referring back to his first point, Mr. Clarage said that the pages were not properly marked. A certified plat of survey should be shown rather than the sketches in order to have a permanent record for the future. We also need to know specific zoning - all units and lots should be numbered. He also said that it should be in writing that all — 2 — September, 1977 meeting lots fronting Rte. #34 would not have individual driveways so there would be no misunderstandings. We would only want the three accesses originally shown. Mr. Clarage stated that the access on Bristol Road is now on a bad curve and that an engineer should look at this. An agreement regarding the cash and/or land contribution ordinance should also be reached with the petitioner. He also said the total number of acres in the development should be noted in the petition as it is not shown. Regarding Item 3, Paragraph C of the petition asking that the permit fees be maintained for a period of ten years, Mr. Clarage stated that fees for building permits for the total city would be applicable to them also for fairness to all. Mr. Madden stated he felt the plans presented tonight were too vague. It was stated that if Mr. Stark is now definite in his plans, he must give us more information. Mr. Langland then moved to table the petition until Mr. Stark can present all documents,, pertaining to our ordinance. Seconded by Mr. Feltz. All present voting aye. 77.23 Randy Ericksen — Review Preliminary Plat — Acreage in Countryside Center Attorney Grant Wegner, representing Mr. Ericksen, first submitted a letter from Mr. Ericksen stating that he would be responsible for the surfacing of Powers Court. He then passed out a preliminary plat for the Lee ReSubdivision to all members and stated that they were asking for approval for the preliminary plat. Mr. Clarage stated that several items needed further discussion. First, the location of sidewalks was not shown on the plat. Second, ai.l building setback lines should be indicated by note. Third, the preliminary plat should show direction, size and distance to the nearest water and sewer lines and also show how they will tie into existing lines. Fourth, utility easements to all lots must be indicated. Mr. Clarage stated this was critical because if utility easements did not abut the center core there would be problems. We would want to see this in order to avoid future problems. Mr. Kenton then moved to table the petition until the petitioner complys with the subdivision control ordinance. Seconded by Mr. Price. All present voting aye. Dr. Coleman than read a letter from Mr. Simon Dickson which stated his objections to the proposed name of Bristol Station for James Starks' new development. 77.24 Final Plat — Kountryyside Kommons — Robert Loftus Attorney Dan Kramer stated that he had gone to the city council with a petition to vacate Powers Court and that a hearing was scheduled for October 27, 1977 regarding this and also the question of rededicating the new street to the city.

He will close off at his own expense a temporary driveway between proposed Lot 5 and Lots 3 and 4. 3. He will construct at his own expense a driveway serving as a permanent means of egress and ingress from proposed Lot 5 to a public street currently known as Powers Court. 4.

Mr. Kramer stated that signatures could be withheld from the final plat pending easement recordings.
