Corporation.
Dennis Olmstead of Stoeppelwerth & Associates, representing Steve Wilson, presented the
following: All comments made at TAC meeting on January 27, 1993 have been addressed with
the exception of the County Highway Dept. Sections 1 and 2 of Windemere have been approved
and are already under construction.
Staff Comments: Mike Hollibaugh stated that the only agency outstanding was the County
Highway. After reviewing their comments, Dennis appears to have addressed them with Steve
Milboume and Les Locke; final approval is pending Steve and Les' return to their office.
Sue Dillon asked about the number of trees being preserved on the lots. Dennis replied that only
those trees that are in roadways and utility ways will be removed; very few will be removed for
actual construction of homes.
Barbara Myers asked what types of trees are involved and the approximate number of trees that
will be removed. The response was that most of the trees are hardwood, and less than 10% will
be removed for construction purposes.
Sue Dillon moved to approve Docket No. 12-93 PP; said motion amended to include Docket No.s
13-93 PP and 14-93 PP, seconded by Salim Najjar, unanimously approved.
Item 4. Committee to consider Docket No. 8-93 PP, a primary plat application for Cornerstone
place Subdivision. The primary plat consists of 26 lots on 9.27 acres of land located on the west
side of Central Avenue, approximately 400 feet north of 106th Street. The site is zoned R-1 and
R-3 residence districts. The petitioners is requesting approval to plat a 26 lot subdivision for the
development of 9 two family and 17 single family residences. The petitioner is also requesting
the following Subdivision Regulation variance: 6.3.7 - length of a cul-de-sac to exceed 600 feet.
Filed by Mike Keen.
Present for the petitioner were Rick French and Stan Neal. Mike Keen presented the following:
In compliance with the regulation of stubbing into Pam Road, a variance is being requested for
the length of the cul-de-sac. The issue of drainage has been addressed and restrictive covenants
will contain a statement prohibiting construction in the retention or detention areas.
In response to Ron Houck's questions about the location of the retention/detention areas, Stan
Neal replied that it was located behind lots 11 through 16, which will be about 5 feet deep with
multiple slopes. During a period of heavy rain, it will have about 3.2 feet of water; the outlet
for this water is the Vernon Asher drain along the north line of the subdivision.
Sue Dillon asked about cattails in the drainage ditch. Stan Neal responded that while they are
good for erosion, they would inhibit the functioning of the drain. `
Ron Houck asked about the drainage onto Pam Road. Terry Jones responded that the County
Highway wanted drainage into an open ditch and the County Surveyor did not. There is an
existing pipe in the area and the highway was suggesting that rather than duplicating the work,
the existing pipe should be utilized. However, this would cause a potential problem, since the
pipe has been sized to handle existing runoff.
Terry Jones stated that all other questions brought up at the TAC meeting have been addressed.
The public hearing was left open on this case due to the notice problem.
Tim O'Neal moved to approve Docket No. 8-93 PP contingent upon no further unresolved issues
at the continued public hearing at the next meeting, seconded by Norma Meighen, unanimously
approved.
There being no further issues to come before the Committee, the meeting was adjourned.
