Kinasland Manor Subdivision, Preliminary Plat Review (Cont. ) Bill Katrenick stated that he was aware there had been a problem with flooding, but that they would furnish a 100 year flood plan. Keith Smith stated that they will look into this flooding problem to be sure the pipes are sized properly, and he intends to talk with Robert Blanton, Engineer. Commissioner Novasad stated that drainage is no problem in that area. Commission Elbert stated he had no questions at this time. Commissioner Piland noted that Exhibit #2, the Staff Report, stated there was a concern about phase #1 being completed before phase #2. Bill Katrenick stated that they hope to be finished with phase #1 before building any more units. Keith Smith stated that traffic circulation wouldn't appear to be a problem. Mayor Don Jones pointed out that if, at the end of phase #1 they continued phase #2, they would have illegal streets, and that the Planning Commission will have to go with the good intentions of the developers that phase #2 will be completed. Chairman Frederick stated that "clear intent" has been shown by the traffic circulation, and he, personally, would recommend that Planning Commission approve the plat and plan. Commissioner Christy noted that Exhibit B, #5, states that the subdivision may be developed in three phases; however, the preliminary plat approval shall expire if more than six months time elapses after the completion of construction of a phase prior to the beginning construction or signing a Subdivision Agreement for another phase. Keith Smith then asked if the Planning Commission would consider an extension, extending it another six months , for instance, as they would prefer not having the expense of doing a preliminary plat. Orrin Frederick advised that it is best to leave it as it now is , and if the Planning Commission sees problems that might be a detriment then they may renew. Chairman Frederick thanked the gentlemen for their time and effort. Owen Christy made a motion to authorize the Planning Commission chairman to sign a Resolution, #59, of recommendation to the City Council to approve the Preliminary Plat for Kingsland Manor, a Subdivision, subject to 11 conditions and requirements.
