77.21 Final Plat - Fox Industrial Park - Unit 5
Attorney Grant Wegner, who is associated with Mr. Tom Grant, presented an
Application for Review of Final Plat for Unit 5 of Fox Industrial Park. 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.
Mr. Wegner asked if the commission could sign the final plat subject to final
approval by the city council. Mr. Woodworth moved to approve the final plat for
Fox Industrial Park, Unit 5 subject to city council review. Seconded by Mr. Langland.
A roll call vote was taken with all members present voting aye. 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.

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 then passed out
final plats and Subdivision Development Agreements to all members and stated there were
six items which had been clarified.
1 Mr. Loftus will remove at his own expense areas of the parking lots for proposed
Lots 5 and 8 which encroach upon the center area.
2. He will close off at his own expense a temporary driveway between proposed
Lot 5 and Lots 3 and 4.

right of way to be dedicated to the city which would provide access to the
center portion of Block 3.
— 3 — September meeting
A '
Mr. Clarage stated that no utility easements were shown on the final plat.
Mr. Kramer stated that signatures could be withheld from the final plat pending
