I am in favor of Mr. Harold Copher creating a culdesac in the middle of Koen Lane, with entrance from Dickey and Dunaway. Further more, it would serve no purpose to extend Koen Lane through." Chairman Weber also read a letter dated February 1 , 1972, signed by Messrs. B. G. Wiegand of 401 Koen Lane, and W. J. Hyde of 400 Koen Lane, as follows : "This letter is to advise you of concurrence with the plans of Mr. H. L. Copher as prepared by Mr. W. A. Elliott, Jr. for the development of the 400 Block of Koen Lane in Oak Crest Estates. In the review of the plans, I was advised of the installation of a culdesac, a new water line, and the probable requirement for a street name change. Additionally, I was assured that any damage to existing property in the construction of these improvements would be repaired." Mr. Elliott advised that the proposed plat revision indicates names of the culdesacs as Dunaway Court and Dickey Court, however, the developer proposes to change the names to Copher Court and McCormick Court respectively. Mr. Bullard advised that the City's Consulting Engineer informed him, by telephone, that his firm recommends approval of the plat revision subject to payment of pro rata share of existing sewer facilities by the developer, and subject to details on the drainage channel being worked out to the satisfaction of the City Engineers and the City Council . Mr. Cline moved to recommend approval of the revision of a portion of Blocks 9 and 10, Oakcrest Estates, sub- ject to compliance with the City Engineer's recommendations.

APPROVAL OF FINAL PLAT: MORRISON SUBDIVISION (PROPERTY LOCATED EAST OF MARTHA STREET ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF S.H. 183) , MORRISON SUPPLY COMPANY Chairman Weber recognized Mr. Glen A. Turbeville, who presented a plat of the proposed Morrison Subdivision.

APPROVAL OF FINAL PLAT: 350 COMPLEX (PROPERTY LOCATED ON SOUTH SIDE OF SPUR 350, WEST OF NORTH MAIN STREET) Chairman Weber recognized Mr. Walter A. Elliott, who advised that developers propose to subdivide the Mobil Oil Company Tract, located on the corner of Spur 350 and North Main Street, and construct an office building on the site. It was pointed out that a thirty (30) foot easement has been dedicated to serve for ingress and egress to the tract for which the office building is proposed. (Easement located south of existing Mobil Service Station, extending from Main Street to subject property. ) Mr. Elliott was asked if he is agreeable to dedicating a twenty (20) foot fire lane. He replied that he plans to dedicate a fire lane to connect with the existing easement, however, he wishes to do so under a separate document, when he has had an opportunity (Page Four, Minutes of Regular Meeting, Planning and Zoning Commission, February 15, 1972) tor to locate it in conjunction with the development plans. Mr. Elliott was advised that the pro- posed location of the eight (8) inch water line extension would create a dead end on the existing water line -- that the City's plan indicates the water line should be extended from the end of an existing line. Mr. Elliott took exception to this statement, stating that it would not be practical to extend the line from the end of an existing line, due to the placement of traffic signals at Spur 350 and the existing service station driveways. Mr. Elliott was informed that the City will agree with his exception and allow the line to be placed as shown on the plat, providing the line is "killed" at the service station or some means, such as a fire hydrant, is installed to permit flushing of the dead end of the line. Mr. Elliott took exception to this statement, stating that the City created the dead end themselves when they cut this line and plugged it for the construction of Spur 350. Mr. Cline moved to recommend approval of the Final Plat of 350 Complex, subject to the resolution of the dead end water line. Mr. Johnson seconded the motion, and the vote is as follows : Ayes : Messrs. Cline, Johnson, Wallace, Leggett and Weber Nays : None Chairman Weber declared the motion carried. V.
