Chairman Bowen stated that since they still have the common property on the entrance of the plat he would not be in opposition to it as long as they have legal documents in place so that the city would not be saddled with the upkeep of the property, but the drainage problem is another issue. He said the developers must get with the city engineer and city staff and work out a solution to the matter. Chairman Bowen said the Commission might table the plat until the matter is resolved. Mr. Stewart said they feel the drainage is not a requirement because they are not moving the water over more than two lots. He stated there are other areas in the city like this. Mr. Stewart said they request they be allowed to go on to the City Council. . Chairman Bowen stated this has not been resolved and the Commission feels they cannot bypass this. Mr. Stewart said to let the City Council decide. He said if the City Council says to put them in, we will have to put them in. Mr. Stewart said the City Engineer stated that you could not move water over more than two lots and we only have 3 lots there and it would not flow over more than two lots. Mr. Stewart stated they had been on this job for 7 months and if the Commission tables this request and not let us appeal to the City Council, he feels would be unfair. . Mr. Wood stated he felt that if the Commission passed this on the the City Council, the Commission would be shirking their responsibility. He said the City hires a City Engineer to recommend what is needed and the Commission should listen to him. Page 4 P & Z Minutes May 22, 1986 . Mr. Stewart said he did not feel this is what the ordinance states. He said they are asking for a variance or relief of this ordinance. Mr. Wood said a variance from the lot size does not have the same impact as allowing water to go over lots. Mr. Stewart said they are requesting that they be put on the next City Council agenda. Chairman Bowen stated the Commission has been charged to review these requests and until they are satisfied, they will not send it on to the Council. . Mr. John Hawkins came forward. He asked if the Commission would pass this plat subject to getting this worked out with the City Engineer and City Staff. Chairman Bowen stated he felt it should be resolved before it is passed on to the Council. PS 86-24 TABLED Ms. Nash made the motion to table PS 86-24 until such time as the Staff, City Engineer and Rischon Development Corporation can attain a compromise or resolve the differences.

PS 86-27 Consideration of street name change from Rumfield Road to Starnes Road. Chairman Bowen opened the Public Hearing and called for those wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come forward. Chairman Bowen stated the reason for this change was in the Master Thoroughfare Plan it shows Starnes Road to be a collector street and it intersects with Rumfield Road and it would cause confusion to have two names. He said the Thoroughfare Plan shows the street to go from Rufe Snow Drive all the way to Precinct Line Road. . There being no one wishing to speak in favor of this request, the Chairman called for those wishing to speak in opposition to this request to please come forward. Nancy Fears, 8421 Rumfield Road, came forward. She stated she is opposed to this name change, but is more opposed to it being a main thoroughfare. Mr. Royston stated that from Davis Boulevard to Precinct Line Road would be a four lane road. Ms. Fears stated that this is a major residential area and she has property she would have to get rid of if this road goes through. She said there are more houses on Rumfield Road than on Starnes so why not change Starnes to Rumfield. Mr. Royston stated the City is looking to future development or a bond program to build the road. Mr. Wood asked how many residents were involved. . . . . Page 6 p & Z Minutes May 22, 1986 Mr. Royston stated there are 17 addresses served by city water. Ms. Fears stated that Starnes Road used to not meet Rumfield Road. She said there would have been no way of knowing it would meet Rumfield until recently when they built it out to Davis Boulevard. Ms. Fears said she did not feel it would ever be a major thoroughfare. Chairman Bowen stated that there must be an east-west thoroughfare somewhere in that area. Ms. Fears said she knows there is a need for a road, but not a four lane. Dr. O. G. Tobias, 8800 Rumfield Road, came forward. He said he had lived there for 20 years and he knows we have to have progress. He stated there were only a few houses on Starnes Road until Foster Village was put in. He asked why could it not be changed from Starnes Road to Rumfield Road. Ms. Nash said there are already 87 addresses on Starnes Road and only 17 on Rumfield Road. Dr. Tobias said the city does not have the right-of-way and they don't have a bond issue so why change the name at this time. Mr. Tucker asked how the fire department would know which place on Starnes it would be when it had always been Rumfield Road and why change it now. Mr. Royston stated that there plans for development in the area and Starnes will be developed from Rufe Snow to Davis soon. He said the city is just trying to get ahead of the game. Page 7 P & Z Minutes May 22, 1986 . Mr. Royston said the fire and police departments would go with the hundred blocks to find the area. Dr. Tobias said he did not know of any development on Rumfield. Mr. Royston said he had several contacts. Dr. Tobias said he feels this is being premature. He said he would not object later when it is needed, but until a bond issue is passed, it probably will not be done. Dr. Tobias said he has 9 acres on one side of Rumfield and 2~ on the other side. Chairman Bowen closed the Public Hearing. . Mr. Tucker said he would find it confusing, but he would agree to the change, but the time is the issue. PS 86-27 APPROVED Mr. Schwinger made the motion to approve PS 86-27. This motion was seconded by Mr. Wood and the motion carried 3-2 with Chairman Bowen and Ms. Nash voting against the change.
