(Page Two, Regular Meeting, Planning and Zoning Commission, January 3, 1977) FINAL PLATTING - LOT 1 , BLOCK 1 , CEN COR ADDITION NO. 3. (BEING A PORTION OF BLOCK 3, OAK FOREST ADDITION GENERALLY LOCATED NORTH OF HARWOOD ROAD AND WEST OF NORTH MAIN STREET) Mr. Whitaker stated they have met all of the provisions of the City except the question involving the fire hydrant which will be resolved as soon as the location of the fire hydrant can be established. Mr. Barnes stated the main concern is that the property will be covered within a 350 foot radius. Therefore, the location of the fire hydrant and the establishment of adequate fire coverage is all that is necessary. Chairman Tyson asked Mr. Whitaker if he is familiar with Mr. Sribhen concerning the drainage as mentioned in the October 4th meeting which stated they would work with the church and the City concerning the drainage problem. Mr. Whitaker stated he is and that Mr. Sribhen is in the audience. Mr. Sribhen stated that according to the plat, no more water will be dumped onto the church property than is already being done. Chairman Tyson stated he had more drawings indicating the location of the building on the property and the drainage flow. He further stated that the City staff has reviewed the infor- mation and determined that all of the drainage will be drained to the back of the property and will not effect the church. He stated a curb will be constructed all around the parking lot to contain the water and dump it to the back of the property. Mr. Adams asked Mr. Addison if there had been previous water problems at the church. Mr. Addison stated there have been problems at the front of the church as it was built in the low area of the property. There are no entrances to the side or back, therefore, since the drainage will be to the back of the property, he does not foresee any problems with the church being flooded. However, there is an existing problem with water standing behind the church. (Page Three, Regular Meeting, Planning and Zoning Commission, January 3, 1977) Mr. Sribhen stated that since they will be excavating anyway, they will be glad to put some of the excess dirt on the church property to prevent any more water from going to the back of the church. Chairman Tyson requested that the letter from the City staff be made a part of the minutes. Mr. Johnson made a motion to recommend final plat approval of Lot 1 , Block 1 , Cen Cor Addition No. 3, subject to the installation of a fire hydrant by the developer to insure adequate fire protection to the property. Mrs. Lightbody seconded the motion and the vote is as follows: Ayes: Mr. Johnson, Mrs. Lightbody, Messrs. Porter, Adams, Munir, and Tyson Nays: None Chairman Tyson declared the motion carried. II .
