The Commission considered a 25 lot subdivision called White Grove being
developed by Harold Thompson which is located on South side of Gayfer
Avenue between County Road 13 and Highway 27 and containing some
12 acres. Bob commented that it meets the requirements of the
subdivision regulations, that there is a natural flow for drainage largely
to the West and that the lower area will serve as a holding pond, that
everything as far as the City is concerned is all right. All questions
being answered satisfactorily, William Lucey moved to give sketch plan
approval as sought, William Richmond seconded and motion carried unanimousl,
An 8 lot subdivision/ Pleiades (land owned by Barry Boothe) was presented
to the Commission. Property located off of Taylor Street in Montrose.
The plat showed access from the subdivision on Taylor Street. Mr. Boothe sai
that these would be privately maintained streets and they had a draft
of the homeowner's agreement tonight. Mr. -Lunsford cited things needed to
make the plat complete: 1. having the engineer's seal on each sheet of plan;
2. plat does not have owner's acknowledgement; 3. approval from health
department and county engineer; 4. plat does not conform to Section 405.1
in that the legal document has not been submitted, no notation of private
streets on plat and for the record Bob noted that all lots do not meet
frontage requirements( min lot 19,550± , average lot 22700'±). Several
adjacent property owners came forward to look at what is planned. Bob
said he saw no problems with drainage. A question was raised as to paving
and it was noted that in the past we have not required paving, that it
will be the County's responsibility on the roads. Mr. Boothe said he
is going to try and get the County to work on road there. Mr. Pitman
commented on the streets being so narrow, that Mr. Booth had a lot of
depth in the lots, he could make them wider. Mr. Pitman moved to give
preliminary approval to this subdivision, William Lucey seconded and motion
carried unanimously.
There being no further business, meeting was duly adjourned.
