request is a reduction from the required 58 feet cul-de-sac right-of-way radius to a 50
foot cul-de-sac radius. Item C.2 is the remainder lot for Mr. Bannister's property, who
sold a portion of his property to the developer of Harmon Farms. Item C.3 is a SUP for
two detention/retention ponds within the development.
Senior Planner Clayton Comstock came forward to present Items C.1, C2, and C.3.
Vice Chairman Bill Schopper asked Clayton Comstock to explain if it is appropriate to
approve the Final Plat the way it is with the smaller cul-de-sac. How do we open it up
for a variance?
Senior Planner Clayton Comstock stated that the Commission's recommendation
regarding the variance should be subject to staffs review for emergency access,
drainage, consistency of previous approvals, etc.
Vice Chairman Bill Schopper opened the public hearing and asked for comments from
the public.
Larry Adams, 7252 Eden Rd. came and expressed concern about who will maintain the
retention pond and was specifically concerned with mosquitos.
