SD00-46 Final Plat Approval - Phase 4 River Mill(generally located north of Windmill
Rd and south of Fairhope Avenue) Christopher in his comments said the issues
associated with this were: Comprehensive Plan, It is in conformance with the
comprehensive plan, Greenspace, when Mr. Dyas submitted his final plat it showed the
greenspace moved to Windmill Rd but has since said he will keep where approved in
interior. Sidewalks, No sidewalks were constructed with this phase but Mr. Dyas said
he would make a contribution to the sidewalk fund. Street signs, there is an issue with
signage in River Mill but the Public Works Dept. is in the process of creating and
installing the street signs. It was his recommendation to approve subject to the proper
installation of street signs, greenspace being provided at the original location and a
contribution to the sidewalk fund. Craig Dyas spoke on his behalf he moved the
greenspace to the lot on Windmill Rd because it was the only lot with trees and it was a
dead-end road, not a lot of traffic. It was pointed out that the lot being in the center of
the subdivision was a safety issue and better for kids if in interior. The sidewalk issue
was discussed and Craig said he would like to meet with Tim, possibly put in sidewalk
on River Mill Drive to park. A motion was made by Lee Turner, seconded by Bob Clark
to approve the plan with Lot 120 being the greenspace and the stipulation that the
sidewalk issue be settled with the Planning Department and other officials. Motion
carried unanimously.
SD00-47 Replat of Marshall Brunden(two lots into one) generally located at Fairwood
and Ronforth Christopher had commented that Mr. Brunden owner two separate and
legally recorded lots, both zoned R2. That he wishes to combine the lots so that he
can construct an addition to his residence. He said it is in conformance with the
comprehensive plan, no new infrastructure is required and no drainage study is
needed. He recommended approval. The plat was looked at and Christopher explained
it is unusual because of the curve in road, there are no drainage issues and a note will
be placed on the plat all other issues have been met. After discussion, Lee Turner
moved to approve the change as requested. Dan McCrory 2"d and motion carried
unanimously.
