NEW BUSINESS
FINAL PLAT OF THE CENTRAL BUSINESS PARK
The first item of new business was for the Commission to consider the
final plat of the Central Business Park and make a recommendation to the
City Council.
Mr. Baddaker then advised that this plat covers property located on the
north side of Northwest Highway, immediately east of the Yamaha
dealership and adjacent to Cluck Park. Further, he said that available
utilities were adequate to serve the property, and that a sewer line
crossing the property will be relocated at the developer's expense. Mr.
Baddaker further advised that no problems with drainage or street layout
anticipated.
There was a brief discussion relative to drainage, followed by a motion
from Vice Chairman Cook to reconuend that the Council approve the plat
as submitted, and Member Harlen Joyce seconded the motion which
prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Joyce, Norman and Atkins
Nays: None
Absent: Wilbanks & Powers (late arrival)
N�: i�wrurr�r�r� ►•��rr_y�_��i���r�y�;����t���. ����ir�: ��= ����e��
The next item for consideration by the Commission to make a
recommendation to the City Council was the preliminary plat and site
plan of the Dove Crossings Subdivision.
Mr. Baddaker advised that this plat and site plan cover the area which
was recently rezoned by the Council on Dove Loop Road, immediately north
of Marina Del Rey Apartments, and it incorporates most of the changes
made by the Council after the public hearing. The City Engineer further
discussed the present problems that will require work before final plat
approval, ie., sewer lay -out, and drainage easements required on
Willowbrook Court, Briarcrest Drive and the east end of Stoneway Drive.
There was some discussion of the flood level; however, it is not recom-
mended to accept the park dedication as the site plan would indicate.

Note: Mr. Powers arrived during this deliberation.
There were extensive questions from Commissioners relative to the
flowage easement, the two flood plain lots, and a great deal of deliber-
ation relative to the 7500 square foot lot requirements and the planned
area for a park (which members agreed should be relocated due to close
proximity to an through street.) Mr. Haynes, the applicant, responded
to the questions indicating an open mind to making the suggested
changes.
Following the discussion Commissioner Joyce made a motion to recommend
that the Council approve the plat as submitted. The motion failed for
lack of a second. Vice Chairman Cook made a motion to table the plat,
and Tom Powers seconded the motion which prevailed by the following
vote:
Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Powers, Norman & Atkins
Nays: Joyce
Absent: Wilbanks
