CALL TO ORDER
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Ted Ware.
PRELIMINARY PLAT - DOVE CREEK
The first order of business was to consider the Preliminary Plat of
Dove Creek Addition. Mr. Sands made a motion to recommend approval
of the Plat. Mr. Burgess seconded the motion and all in attendance
voted aye.
REQUIRED PARKING SPACES
The next order of business was to consider the adequacy of the pre-
sent parking ratio requirements in apartment developments. The City
Staff provided the requirements of various cities for discussion pur-
poses. The present problems of Fire and Police Department, and
the lack of parking spaces for tenants was discussed. The problem of
boat trailer parking and recreational vehicle parking as well as two
(2) and three (3) car families was discussed and the concensus of
opinion was the existing 12 spaces per devilling requirements was in-
adequate, and that the Garland requirement of 22 spaces per dwelling
or one (1) space per 400 square feet of floor area would probably
eliminate a majority of the problems.
The next order of business was to discuss the driving area and parking
space dimensions necessary to provide emergency vehicle access. After
much discussion of turning radii and lengths of cars, the concensus of
opinion was that driving lanes whould be 25 feet wide, 9' X 20' park-
ing space dimensions with all spaces and driving lanes striped.
STREET, WATER, AND SEWER SPECIFICATIONS- SUBDIVISIONS
The next order of business was to discuss whether or not street, water,
and sewer specifications should be included in the subdivision regula-
tions. The concensus of opinion of all members was that this should
be done.
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS -NEW SUBDIVISIONS
The last order of business was to discuss public improvements adjacent
to new subdivisions. The concensus of opinion was that the developer
should be required to improve 2 of adjacent existing streets or estab-
lish an escrow fund for this purpose.
