NEW BUSINESS . BA 81-2 APPROVED Request of Clarence H. Dixon, Jr. to vary from the Zoning Ordinance #179 on Tract 2A2C, Abstract 146, William D. Barnes Survey, to be allowed to build on two acres in Agricultural zoning without being required to put in the street until such time he subdivides said property or until the area around develops. This property is located south of Sayers Lane, approximately 84 feet west of where the existing paved road stops, and is bounded on the south by Crestwood Estates. Mr. Dixon came forward. He said that prior to buying this two acre tract, he came in and discussed with Mrs. Calvert the possibility of being allowed to build without having to put in the street. Mr. Dixon said Mrs. Calvert told him she would check into it and send him a letter. He said he received the letter stating it was okay. . Mr. Dixon said that about two weeks ago he came in to see about the water and sewer and was told he would have to put in the road. . . . Page 2 Z B A Minutes March 12, 1981 Mr. Roseberry asked why Mr. Dixon was given a letter saying he did not have to put in the street before he could build and then was told different later. Mrs. Calvert said when Mr. Dixon first came in she talked with the Assistant City Manager, Dennis Horvath, about Mr. Dixon's problem and they agreed to let him build without having to put in the street at this time; then when he came in to talk to Mr. Bronstad, Director of Utilities, about the water and sewer, Mr. Bronstad said he would have to put in the street. Mrs. Calvert stated that Mr. Bronstad said it had always been the policy of the city to require the subject put in the street before he builds. Mrs. Calvert said she again talked with the Assistant City Manager and they decided to have Mr. Dixon appear before this Board for this variance so there would be no problems. Mr. Helton asked about the upkeep of the street. Mr. Rice said the city does not want to be held responsible for the maintenance of the street. Mr. Roseberry said if this is a city street and Mr. Dixon pays city taxes, why wouldn't the city maintain it. Mrs. Calvert said this is not a dedicated street, it is an easement. . Mr. Roseberry asked Mr. Dixon if he would agree to signing a covenant. Mr. Dixon said he would be glad to sign a covenant with the city. Mr. Stimmel asked at what time would this area be deemed as developed. . . . Page 3 Z B A Minutes March 12, 1981 Mr. Rice said it would be when the city feels it necessary to meet the needs of that area. Mr. Roseberry said the city requires a developer put in the streets when he develops an area. Mr. Erck asked Mr. Dixon if he had any plans to subdivide this property. Mr. Dixon said he did not intend to subdivide it. Mr. Roseberry said he was sure the City Staff had that stated in Mr. Dixon's request for their protection. Mrs. Calvert said that was correct. The Chairman called for anyone wishing to speak in favor of or in opposition to this request to please come forward. There being no one wishing to speak, the Chairman closed the public hearing. Mr. Roseberry made a motion to approve BA 81-2 with the stipulation that in the covenant that Mr. Dixon signs with the city agreeing to pay his pro rata when the streets are put in that he would incorporate in it that he would also be willing at such time to dedicate that property in front as a street without cost or charge to the city. This motion was seconded by Mr. Stimmel. The motion carried 4-0 with the following vote recorded: Roseberry, yea, Stimmel, yea, Erck, yea, and Helton, yea. Mr. Dixon asked if he could ask another request. He said the existing street (Sayers Lane) was extended several feet beyond the water anå sewer lines in error. Mr. Dixon said he will have to dig up some of the existing street. He said the cheapest he could find to replace the road was $2000 and he would like to not be required to fix the road back. . . .
