We want to replat four lots into one lot. Mr. Britton told the commission the replat was brought about by building 7-11 store. According to the subdivision ordinance a building may not cross building lines; therefore to construct this building the property had to be replated into one lot.

Long for extension of time for recording of final plat of North 820 Commercial Addition, PS 75-15. Mr. 0.0. Long - Hurst Mr. Long reviewed the past hearings for the two new members. He stated on the original plat Lariat Trail went through to Roaring Creek Drive. It was his understanding they ~ . could cul-da-sac at Lariat Trail. After he was told Lariat Trail had to be closed his client was not satisfied. He did not want me to fil for recording. He decided to sell. After a while he decided to plat according to the city IS recommendations. We have dropped block 3 and changed number of lots in block 2 from 9 to 12. We have also curved Corona at Lariat Trail. Mr. Biard stated he felt the street should have gone through. The trucks can It be too large since they service 1001 commercial lots; too it will put more traffic on Rufe Snow Drive rather than take away traffic. The comments on the engineer's letter of July 16, 1976 have been or will be met. Mr. Biard moved, seconded by Mr. Grubb to grant an extension on this plat. Motion carried 4-0 with Mr. Wood abstaining. SPECIAL HEARING PS 74-24 APPROVED Request of Mr. 0.0. Long for extension of time for the recording of final plat of Briarwood Estates 3rd filing, PS 74-24. Mr. 0.0. Long - Hurst Mr. Long stated this was not filed for re- cording because of procrastanating, building slow down and he and the city had problems getting together. Mr. Long explained each item on the engineerls letter. . #1 I have given a check for $3000.00 in escrow for this 6- water line. #2 It is not a requirement of subdivision ordinance to place water lines in the street. I personally feel it is better behind the curb and it is less expensive. I do not feel I should comply with this since it is not a requirement for all developers by ordinance. #3 This too, is not a requirement of the subdivision ordinance. I donlt feel I should be responsible for same. I have agreed to furnish flanged connectors for fire hydrant valves, Mr. Bronstad will furnish the valves, and I will have them installed. I am competing with other people and can It afford to run up the cost of my lots. . ~ . #4 My partner owned the property to the west of this subdivision. When he sold his property an easement was obtained by dedication. #5 I do not feel this problem is completely the cause of Briarwood #3.. Other developers have contributed to this problem. I am the only developer in this city or any city as far as I know that has agreed to pay #3,000.00 to help eleviate a drainage problem that is not all mine. Smithfield Road im- provement and the development of other areas caused part of this problem. I cannot be responsible for-every drop of water that goes into Hewitt St. Mr. Britton recommended that this request be denied. Mr. Grubb moved, seconded by Mr. Biard to grant this extension. Motion carried 4-0 with Mr. Wood abstaining. . APPOINTMENT OF P & Z MEMBER TO COUNCIL MEETING FOR 8-23. OLD BUSINESS Mr. Wood & Mrs. Shaunty will attend.
