This property is located at 7440 North Forty Road. Acting Chairman Bowen stated there were several issues regarding this plat that need to be discussed. Mr. Glenn Harvey Norman III, 7440 North Forty Road, came forward to speak. He stated the main issue is Meadow Creek Road, which does not physically exist south of North Forty Road. He stated he is replatting four lots into two lots. He stated the lots would run north/south and front North Forty Road. Mr. Norman stated the people in the neighborhood are against extending that portion of Meadow Creek. He stated he has maintained the right-at-way for the last sixteen years. He stated they PZ Minutes - Page 2 June 10, 1993 originally requested that the right-of-way be abandoned, but that fell through. He stated he is replatting and hoping to avoid any need for the extension of Meadow Creek. Mr. Wilson asked about the drainage easement that runs along the west side of the property. Mr. Norman stated in 1986, he dedicated a drainage easement to the City. He stated the easement is now 37-feet wide with a concrete culvert. He stated his neighbor to the west refused to dedicate any land for the easement, and the culvert is entirely on his own property. Acting Chairman Bowen asked whether the road needs to be extended. He stated any gain from the right-ot-way would be a wash compared to the easement. He stated if the right-ot-way were abandoned, the city should not charge more than a nominal fee since they are looking at about the same amount ot property. Acting Chairman Bowen stated the road may not be needed with the low population density in that area. Mr. Lueck stated that the property to the south could possibly be developed using a cui de sac, without putting Meadow Creek Road through to Chapman Road. Mr. Norman stated the area is very rural. He stated the neighbors are against any road extensions at all. Mr. Lueck asked it they approve the plat, the road has been left out. He asked how they would handle that. Mr. LeBaron stated the Commission could recommend that the City consider incorporating the right-of-way at a later date. He stated it would be up to the Council. Mr. Lueck made the motion to approve PS 93-09, and recommends that the City abandon and transfer the right-of-way to Mr. Norman at a reasonable cost and allow the right-of-way to be incorporated into the replat of the property. The motion was seconded by Mr. MiUer Mr. Lueck stated Mr. Norman has maintained the right-of-way tor sixteen years and given up land on the west tor a drainage channel. He stated the City should also consider reducing the fees involved if Mr. Norman comes back to replat the right-of-way into the property. He stated there is probably less than 100 square feet difference in what Mr. Norman gave the City and what we would be giving him. The motion carried 4-0. 3. PS 93-13 Request of Resolution Trust Corporation for Raplat of Tract 1 R, Richland Terrace Addition. This property is located at the southwest corner of Edison Drive and NE Loop 820.

Mr. Wilson asked if it were possible to increase the size of Lot 4, Block 6, since it is a corner lot. He stated it is smaU for a commercial comer lot.
