v.
Mr. Gordon Swift, Counsulting Engineer,
stated a preliminary plat of this addition, formerly known as
North Hills Addition, was approved by the Council in 1979. He
stated the first preliminary plat did not require a mid-block
sidewalk in blocks that were 1,000 feet long. He stated the
developer concurs with the Staff's letter, except the recom-
mendation that a street be installed through Block 3. He stated
he is requesting the Council's approval of the preliminary plat
as submitted, without requiring the concrete sidewalks or an
additional street added in Block 3, of the preliminary plat.
Mr. Pippin stated some of the lots
do not meet the required sixty-five foot minimum width.
Mr. Swift stated that is an error
on the surveyors part, but all the lots will meet the City's
ordinance requirement.
Mr. Knight stated that the ordinance
requires sixty-five foot at the building line and some of the lots
are under 7500 square feet, but the developer will adjust the
lot lines to comply with the City ordinance.
Mr. Walker moved to concur with the
recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission and approve
the preliminary plat of Cinnamon Ridge Addition.

Mr. Knight stated the developer is
aware of the City's requirements on the minimum lot width and
minimum lot square footage and he has indicated he will make
the adjustments to the plat.
Mr. Pippin moved to approve the final
plat of Phase I, Cinnamon Ridge Addition, subject to compliance
with the minimum lot width of sixty-five feet at the building line
and the minimum lot area requirements of 7500 square feet, and all
other conditions of the Staff's letter, and that a sidewalk be
installed in mid-block of any 1400 foot block.
Mrs. McCormick seconded the motion.
Mr. Knight advised the Council that
there is a twenty-four inch water line in that area on the City's
Master Plan and the City will have to participate in the over-
sizing of this line over an eight inch line. He stated the cost
to the City will be approximately $42,525. He stated the Master
Plan also indicates an elevated storage tank in this area and the
developer has agreed to a site and he would recommend negotiating
with the developer for the tank site at this time in order to
reserve the site for future needs.
Mr. Swift stated the owners realize
there is a need for a site for an elevated storage tank and they
will designate the site on the plat.
There being no further discussion,
the vote on Mr. Pippin's motion is as follows:
