Page 3 P & Z Minutes February 13, 1986 . Mr. Hawkins stated some of the lots were 100 feet wide. Vice Chairman Wood asked if it would be feasible to layout a better plan. Mr. Hawkins stated you can not re-Iot it. He said Article 24 of the Zoning Ordinance gives the Commission the right to grant a variance when there is irregularity of a layout.

Vice Chairman Wood said there are two small parcels shown as common area. . Mr. Hawkins said they had to buy the whole strip and they need to know if they need to form a homeowners association to take care of it. He said they had no choice and the city does not want it. Vice Chairman Wood asked if they had considered coming through a lot in Parkridge as entrance. Mr. Hawkins stated he talked to one man and he was unwilling to do it. Vice Chairman Wood said there was some disagreement regarding the drainage. Mr. Royston stated there was still some question of the capacity of the existing system. . Mr. Hawkins stated the drop-in was put in in 1970 and later on Parkridge Estates was built and the drainage was put in the wrong place. He said this must be resolved. He said they should be able to resolve it. He said it was done before Parkridge Estates was put there. Page 4 p & Z Minutes February 13, 1986 . Mr. Schwinger asked Mr. Hawkins if he wanted to stay with his present layout. He said he does not feel the Commission can allow him to go under the R-l zoning requirements. Vice Chairman Wood stated Mr. Hawkins could come back in with a zoning request for R-2 zoning and deed restrict the size of the houses or he could drop a lot or two and make it conform to the R-l zoning. Mr. Hawkins stated he had not planned to ask for a zoning change. He said he plans to build 2300 square foot houses. Mr. Schwinger stated R-2 allows 9000 square foot lots. . Vice Chairman Wood stated the Zoning Ordinance does give the Commission some flexibility, but this is too much deviation. Mr. Hawkins said he felt the R-l would be a plus for his development. Ms. Flippo stated he did not have R-l lots. Mr. Hawkins asked what he needed to do. Mr. Royston stated he either needed to submit a zoning request for R-2 zoning or change the lots. Mr. Hawkins said with this configuration of land you would have to take out two lots. Vice Chairman Wood said the Commission can not approve something that does not meet the R-l zoning. . Mr. Hawkins stated he could not re-design it. Page 5 P & Z Minutes February 13, 1986 .

PS 86-4 Request of Burk Collins Investments, Inc. for preliminary plat of Stonybrooke South Addition. Jackie Fluitt with Stembridge and Associates came forward. Vice Chairman Wood said at the zoning of this property there was a stipulation there would be a crossing at the railroad.

Vice Chairman Wood asked about the storm drainage. . Mr. Fluitt said a study was being made and would be submitted at the time of final platting.

He said we were trying to get a circulation pattern for the subdivision. . Mr. Hallford asked wouldn't the through street also help the drainage. Mr. Royston stated it made it less difficult if you have a street to carry the water. Vice Chairman Wood said if Mr. Martin insists on having a cuI de sac we would need to see if the adjoining developer would change his to a cuI de sac also.
