CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 25, 1997 APPROVED Mr. Davis made the motion to approve the minutes of the September 25, 1997 meeting. Mr. Miller seconded the motion and it carried 6 - O. 5. PS 97-44 REQUEST OF LAURA WAUSON FOR A REPLA T TO BE KNOWN AS LOT 1, BLOCK 6, HEWITT ESTATES. (LOCATED AT 6802 MEADOW ROAD) APPROVED Mr. LeBaron explained that this item had been tabled at the Sept. 25, 1997 meeting to allow staff to review and comment on the Replat documents and to allow Ms. Wauson to determine an estimated dollar amount of her obligations for the covenants she had agreed to sign. Mr. LeBaron explained that Ms. Wauson had previously signed covenants for all the items mentioned in the P&Z cover sheets which included drainage, water, sewer and street improvements. A street light is also required for this location. However Ms. Wauson is requesting a waiver of these covenants. Additionally she is requesting a waiver of the required street light and masonry screening fence. Ms. Retha Templin, 6728 Meadow Road, voiced concerns regarding the reduction in the building line along Meadow Road from 25 feet to 20 feet. It was explained to Ms. Templin that right-of-way was being dedicated for the future extension of Holiday Lane as a collector street and the reduction in the building line was to keep the existing structure on this property from encroaching on, a building line. Mr. Charles Templin, 6728 Meadow Road, voiced concerns on waiving the masonry fence and asked about how access to this property was going to be achieved. Mr. Templin stated that he believes this entire situation has been handled improperly because of the limited access off of the future Holiday Lane thoroughfare; it is being violated automatically by allowing this drive approach. He believes the front of this house should face Buck Street, and believes it could easily be done since the degree of this remodel is so extreme. Ms. Wauson stated that because the way her house will be situated, the driving entrance will come off Meadow Road and she will have a rear entry garage. Mr. Davis made the motion to approve PS 97-44 subject to engineers requirements; reducing the building line to 20' from the required 25' along Meadow Road; that all covenants be in place for drainage, streets, water and sewer improvements; require the street light and waive the fence along Meadow Road. Mr. Wood seconded the motion and it carried 6 - o. 6. PS 97-43 REQUEST OF COLLIN EQUITIES, INC., FOR A REPLA T TO BE KNOWN AS LOT 3, BLOCK 1, WALKER BRANCH ADDITION. (LOCATED IN THE 8400 BLOCK OF EMERALD HILLS WAY) APPROVED Mr. LeBaron explained that Collin Equities is developing this 13 acre tract on the west side of Emerald Hills Way. This will be an 85 bed assisted living facility. The drainage channel that goes through this property will require a concrete channel and the developer has agreed to this. The sewer will need to be extended across the front of their property and this will be done about 2/3 of the way north on Emerald Hills Way. However, if and when the northern part of this lot is developed, it will be the developers responsibility to extend the sewer at that time. Mr. Wood made the motion to approve PS 97-43 subject to engineers comments. Mr. Miller seconded the motion and it carried 6 - O. 7. PS 97-49 REQUEST OF GARY & CINDY GRIFFIN FOR A FINAL PLAT OF LOT 1, BLOCK 1, GRIFFIN ADDITION. (LOCATED AT 7228 BURSEY ROAD) APPROVED Mr. Wood made the motion to approve PS 97-49.

Chairman Barfield opened the public hearing and asked for any proponents. Ms. Eva Strickland stated that everything was in order for this replat. Chairman Barfield called for any additional proponents. Seeing none, Chairman Barfield called for any opponents. Seeing none the public hearing was closed.

PS 97-51 REQUEST OF BARFIELD DICKINSON JOINT VENTURE FOR A PRELIMINARY PLAT OF LOTS 1 & 2, BLOCK 1, NOB HILL CENTRE. (LOCATED NEAR THE NORTHWEST INTERSECTION OF MARTIN LANE AND PRECINCT LINE ROAD) APPROVED Chairman Barfield stated that due to a conflict of interest he would be abstaining from this issue. Mr. LeBaron stated that this property is on Precinct Line Road, is zoned C-1 commercial and is being platted into two lots. Mr. LeBaron stated there are some things staff would like to see on the final plat that include: dimensions on the access easement, it should be indicated that a sign easement exists and that easement allows for signage for both lots 1 & 2, the size of the sign easement should be indicated as well. Mr. Barfield stated that all the issues have been addressed and will be indicated on the final plat. Mr. Barfield further explained that the water line was deleted when Precinct Line Road was put in because existing homes were demolished. Barfield Dickinson has made payment to the City for this water line, and the city is doing the installation. Mr. Wood made the motion to approve PS 97-51.
