REQUESTS TO SET UP PUBLIC HEARINGS: No requests were submitted. REQUESTS TO APPROVE BUILDING PERMITS: No requests were submitted. Request TO APPROVE PLATS: a. Preliminary Plat/Tara Mount Subdivision Chairman Elliott recognized City Engineer Duane Real to address the item of business. City Engineer Reel related that a Sketch Plat of the Tara Mount Subdivision was filed approximately 2 years ago with basically the same geometry. He suggested that front lot building lines proposed to be 30 feet, be changed to 35 feet, relating that culdesacs were cut down to 25’ building lines. He said that the 15’ side yard lines on corner lots presented no problems with the condition that no house would face the 15’ side yard lines. He pointed out that if a house faces the side yard line, the 35’ setback would have to be met. CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING September 14, 1992 7:OO P.M. - 7:30 P.M. City Engineer Reel stated that with these changes the Sketch Plat was acceptable, adding that this plat is not located in the flood Plain. Commissioner Brannen moved, seconded by Commissioner Piggee to Approve the Preliminary Plat of TARA MOUNT SUBDIVISION, LOTS 88- 97, with changes as suggested by City Engineer Reel. MOTION CARRIED b. Sketch Plat/Northlake Subdivision Phase VI Chairman Elliott related that this particular phase of Northlake Subdivision was outside the City Limits but still within the City’s planning jurisdiction. City Engineer Reel related that the only access into this proper- ty is at the south boundary line of Deerwood Subdivision, stating that there is a proposed tie in on Fawnwood Drive, which exits from Northlake Subdivision and would require a large amount of development going east. He further related that the proposed plat would add 78 lots, which would result in 156 more cars needing access in and out of the Deerwood area. Chairman Elliott made note of safety in the event of a catastro- phe with onlt one access in case of a street closing. Commissioner Gray proposed a voluntary annexation into the City of Jacksonville. City Engineer Reel stated that utilities would be Gravel Ridge sewer and North Little Rock water. A short discussion followed concerning the amount of time it would take to develop the access to Fawnwood Drive. Commissioner Gray stated that he felt it would be a disservice to allow development of the property without at least two accesses, which should be developed at the same time along with voluntary annexation to the city. Commissioner Gray moved, seconded by Commissioner Dornblaser to Approve the Sketch Plat with the stipulation of providing access through North Lake and Fears Lake with voluntary annexation into the City of Jacksonville under R-1 zoning. MOTION CARRIED CITY OF JACKSONVILLE, ARKANSAS REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING September 14, 1992 7:00 P.M. – 7:30 P.M. NON-AGENDA ITEM: A short discussion ensued with regard to the possibility of changes being made with regard to F-1 zoning. City Engineer Reel related that it would be an expensive under- taking to have changes, which he said need to be made in the F-1 zoning within the city limits, pointing out that with drainage improvements flood zones have been altered. City Attorney Robert Bamburg noted that the changes would have to be made by the City Council with passage of an Ordinance. PUBLIC HEARING: ANNOUNCEMENT: ADJOURNMENT: Commissioner Piggee moved, seconded by Commissioner Dornblaser that the meeting adjourn at approximately 7:36 p.m. Respectfully, ___________________________ Lula M.
