PS 97-56 REQUEST OF COOK CONSULTANTS FOR A FINAL PLAT TO BE KNOWN AS LOT 1, BLOCK 1, SILVERADO BY NORTH STAR ADDITION. (LOCATED IN THE 830 BLOCK OF HARWOOD ROAD) APPROVED Mr. LeBaron explained that this property is zoned as a Planned Development for multi-family and they are now platting the eastern half of it. The three- (3) major issues the Commissioners should be aware are channel improvements, the traffic study and driveway spacing. The applicant is requesting waivers on these requirements and they are present for any questions the Commissioners might have. Barry Knight presented this request. Chairman Barfield explained that there is a lot of concern about the property downstream being able to contain the water as it comes off of this property. Mr. Davis stated that the property owner to the east is going to have a concrete channel that wants to accept the water from the north, but it needs to be in a finite point. He stated it needs to be focused into one point on the east property line. He would like to see the plat approved, and allow construction to begin while this issue is being resolved, but no certificate of occupancy would be issued until a resolution is obtained. Jim O'Brian stated that normally it is upon the individual that is channelizing to make sure that he focuses his project onto his property and leaves the existing flood plain alone. He stated that he doesn't have a problem working with this property owner and if he needs to do a transition on this property it will be done and kept under the 500' limit so that the Corp of Engineers concerns as well. Responding to a question he stated that it would be left in as natural a state as possible. Jack Cook, Cook Consultants, stated that he has met with Scott Shipp, the civil engineer for the Aguirre Corporation, who owns the property downstream. He explained that he has seen their preliminary layout and that there is quite a distance between the proposed shopping center and this property and believes a smooth transition from this property can be made. He stated there is plenty of room to make a natural transition. Mr. Knight stated that they would be willing to downsize the driveways to 24'. The drives will be one in and one out and the 16' median will be nicely landscaped. Page 3 After discussion regarding the street striping improvements that were recommended from the traffic study that was conducted, Mr. Knight stated that the striping improvements would be done. Mr. Davis made the motion to approve PS 97-56 subject to the only channel improvements being a transition along the east property line to the property that is building the existing concrete channel, as agreed to by the applicant; with the understanding that the property will be kept in as natural a state as possible, that a concrete pilot channel will not be required; that the waiver on the street striping not be allowed and that the driveway cuts be two 24' wide with a 16' median, and that all other engineering comments are met.
