Also needed before final plat submittal, is all easements for utilization by the utility companies need to be indicated. There are a few other things which would promote problems with the proposed park dedication in the Park Central Subdivision that were indicated by a memorandum submitted to the City Staff by Mr. Kevin Conklin, Director of Parks and Recreation. Besides a drainage problem, the park would be adjacent to the back yard fences of 14 lots, thereby creating a potential trash problem; also a potential problem of barking dogs whenever someone would walk to close by the fences. The other problem would be a parking situation which would not allow proper ingress and egress to the park. There being no further discussion, Richard Atkins made a motion to table plat to the Regular Planning and Zoning Commission meeting scheduled for September 18, 1984, and Gerald Norman seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Atkins, Norman and Ehgholm Nays: None Absent: Joyce and Wilbanks Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was the preliminary plat of Banyan Place.

He noted also, that before approval is taken on a final plat on this project, that a complete drainage study and proposed improvements will need to be reviewed. Chairman Spencer directed. questions concerning the zoning to Mr. Eberhart, stating that zoning needs to be approved before consideration of the preliminary plat.

Mr. Crook also questioned with the Commission as to whether this plat complied with ordinances. Then there was some controversial discussion between the Commission and the City Staff concerning submittal of preliminary plat without submittal of requested zoning and the course it would take in the processing to final plat.
