plans are reviewed.

plus left turn lane into 116th Street and probably right turn--no room for four lanes.

can reduce the 40 foot setback line to 20 feet. County Highway would also like more
R.O.W. on 116th Street. Petitioner will work with Highway Dept.

Don Tharp, owner of the real estate, and Doug Miller of Miller Engineering appeared before the
Committee representing the petitioner. Also in attendance was Jim Nelson who gave an overview
of the project.
The proposed site is located in Homeplace on the southwest corner of 106th and College Avenue.
The site plan shows the orientation as being northeast to southwest; there will be a privacy fence
along the west property line and south property line in keeping with discussions with neighbors
in the area. Decorative fencing will match that of the cemetery. The petitioner believes that no
formal BZA or Plan Commission approval is required for this development. Revised plans are
being furnished to show detail of fencing and detail on trash refuse area (moved to rear). The
mechanical equipment will be roof mounted and not visible. Petitioner is in process of preparing
a signage package and will return at a later date when details are known. Regarding sidewalks,
Jim Nelson is in process of preparing commitments for installation of sidewalks at such time as
a plan for the area is completed.

sewer and improvements. Substantive matter of plans approved; would like details on

- DOCD, Mike Hollibaugh concerned about adequate buffering to property to the south

want anything established on easement. Mike defers further comment until lighting plan

sanitary sewer.
