Central Point Planning Commission Regular Meeting Feb. 11,,1957
Mason-present:, Obenchain-absent
Lovejoy-present Krupp-present
Noel-present Dysinger-present
Kincaid-present
The meeting was called to order at 7:30 P.M. by President
Kincaid and roll call was answered by members as recorded
above. Because reading of minutes of the meeting held Jan.
14, was passed over in the immediately past meeting of
January 31, the president called for reading of those meetings
in their chronological order, upon which both records were
approved without change.
Old business was then called for. President Kincaid;` taking
cognizance of the presence of individuals wishing to present
proposals to the Commission, suggested tabling any old business
same to be taken up after hearing the suppliants now present.
Accordingly, new business was called for.
Thereupon, Mr. M. F. Hoover came forward to present his final
plat for record of Roxy Subdivision, for the signatures of the
Commission-. President and Secretary. The stipulation contained
in paragrah 6 of the recorded minutes of the meeting of Nov. 13 ,
1956, concerning procedure for elimination of the dead end of
the street indicated as "Extension of Lotus Lane" in the event
of future development of certain conditions is hereby noted and
made a condition of acceptance of the final plat of record.
Whereupon, Commissioner Krupp moved that President Kincaid and
Secretary Dysinger be authorized to sign the document according
to law in their official capacities. The final plat was there-
upon signed in the prescribed manner and became a plat of record:
Now comes Mr. Keith Lawton to present his tentative plat of
Lawton subdivision, covering proposed platting of some 4j acres
bounded on the west by the westerly city limit of Central Point,
on the south by Main Street, on the East by the property of
E. J. Dodson, and on the North by the property of J.R. Krupp.
The plat is notated: Tentative plat of "Lawton Subdivision"
February 11, 1957--Exhibit "A", for identification. Long dis-
cussion ensued, centered principally on the problem of sewer
connection with the present sewer main, or trunk, on Amy Street.
Combining the factors of length, grade , crossing of Griffin and
Daisy Creeks, probable number of homes or other establishments
to be served, both in the proposed Lawton Subdivision homes , in
that area south of Main Street, and undeveloped area which could
be feasibly served by natural grade to the propesed line, brings
about the asking of several questions concerning costs and the
fair apportionment thereof: manner of approach with respect to
ownership; necessary branch lines; participation by the City
because of City-owned Haskell Park; sewer line diameter necessary
to carry all probable connections; most practical route, and
other technical details. There being in this commission, no
member qualified to answer such questions, the President entertain-
ed a motion by Commissioner Mason that the Commission;. request
the common council to obtain such information for the guidance
of the Planning Commission in determining their action. Second-
ed by Commissioner Krupp and carried.
(Feb. 11,1957-continued) -
Discussion then turned to " Street -layout, as . shown on the "drawing. In the
light of past decisions on the determination of street widths, the
commission continues an established policy of requiring a minimum
width of 60 feet. The streets- as shown are tentatively approved, ,
notwithstanding the fact that Jackson Street is terminated at its
northerly end by a dead end. The thought is expressed that- this
exception permitted per se shall not be construed as a precedent
in future action inasmuch as the actual dead end portion is of but
100 feet length and serves only one residential lot; and inasmuch-
as its very short length should not create any undue maintenance
problem. The Commission -body having arrived at the. foregoing. con-
clusions as to the tentative plat only", Commissioner Lovejoy moved
that the tentative plat be accopted as such for the purpose of de-
fining the Commission' s attitude reserving definite committment ,
contingent upon presentation of a more detailed preliminary plat.
'Motion seconded-' by Commissioner. Dysinger- and carried without did=
senting vote.'
There being no other business for consideration, Commissioner Krupp
moved that adjournment be voted. Seconded by Commissioner Lovejoy.
Leland -L. .Dysinger.
Sec. "
