Present were members Banks, Bowers, McBee and McManama, Chairman Backes. Absent were members Bradshaw, Burton, Dixon and Hull. Chairman Backes explained that this meeting had been set for this date and hour because of the lack of a quorum on the regular meeting date of July 18, 1972. The first order of kbusiness was to elect or appoint a secretary. McBee nominated Bowers and Bowers nominated McBee. McBee was elected Secretary. Frank Bruce appeared before the Commission seeking approval of a revised preliminary plat for Sierra Vista Subdivision and explained that he preferred to develop this in two units and explained the reasoning. This revision was necessary because the original plat had included property of the Walter Carr's but upon signing the final plat, the Carr's had declined to sign . The ab- sence of the Carr property necessitated the redesign of streets and lots which in turn required a new preliminary plat to be submitted. On a motion by Meblanama seconded by Bowers and unanimous vote of Commissionmembers present, the revision of the preliminary plat was approved. }Ir. Bruce then presented the final map of Temple Court Subdivision asking that it be approved and the proper signatures be affixed. This was the same layout as the preliminary plat previously presented and lays just south of the Sierra Vista Subdivision whose revised preliminary had just been approved. On motion by Bowers and seconded by Banks, the final plat was approved by unanimous affirmative vote of Commission members present, and Chairman Backes and Secretary McBee signed the appropriate document indicating Commission approval. Mr. Bruce next asked for Commission approval of the final plat of Sierra Vista Subdivision, Unit #1. This final plat agreed in detail with the pre- liminary just approved. On a motion by McManama, seconded by Bowers and un- animous affirmative vote of Commission members present the final plat of. Sierra Vista Unit #1 was approved and the Chairman and Secretary signed the appropriate document. Mr. Bob Russell next presented himself .representing W.L. Moore Construction Co. to answer any questions relative to the petition to annex 9.44 acres lying west of the second unit of West Pine. Villa. 'Phis was originally known as an extension of West Pine Villa, but subsequent to changes, a new name was required and from now on this will be known as Moore Park Annexation and development. The preliminary plat was available for consideration of the annexation but had not been presented in sufficient time to be considered for approval at this meeting. It was generaW considered that even though this parcel was land-locked and would have to have to have its ingress and egress through West Pine Villa Unit #2, it was designed for expansion thru surrounding lands in the future. Upon a motion by Banks, seconded by Bowers and unanimous affirmative vote of Commission members present, the Commission recommends to the City Council that this property be annexed and developed as R-1-8. I Special Meeting City Planning Commission ' July 20, 1972 Page 2 The petitions of the Coulters at 473 and the Carlsons at 475 Freeman Road were next presented for Commission consideration. A brief back- ground was presented on the reasons for this request and the City actions taken to invite Freeman Road residents to annex in an effort to help solve the sanitary sewer problem in that area. On a motion by Bowers, seconded by McBee and unanimous affirmative vote of Commission members present the Commission recommends to the Ctiy Council that these two properties not be annexed at this time until it can be determined how many residents in the area want to be annexed. A general discussion ensued pointing out the desirability of leveling out the ration of industrial, commercial and residential areas to be annexed to the City. Member McBee emphasized the impact residential annexations and development made upon school facilities and oprating costs. It was generally agreed that this would be most desirable but the Commission ad- mitted it was at a loss as to how this could be accomplished. There being no further business to come before the Commission, the meeting was adjourned at 10:25 P.M.
