(PROPERTY LOCATED EAST OF HWY. 157 AND SOUTH OF ASH LANE) Mr. Elliott stated he is with the firm of Elliott and Hughes Engineering and is representing Lakewood Joint Venture, of which Mr. Pasteur is one of the trustees. They are requesting final platting of Block 1 , Lakewood Addition, 2nd Installment. There will probably be two or three additional installments before the addition is completed. Originally, Lakewood Addition consisted of about seventy acres. The School District purchased a portion of the property and the City purchased a portion for a park site. Also, there were some townhouses, duplexes and residential development in Phase I . Lakewood Joint Venture purchased the tract of land shown as Tract 2B several years ago and now desire to develop a portion and sell a portion of the tract. Fourplexes will be developed on the property in Phase I which includes a portion of the "C-2" zoned property. Therefore, a change of zoning will be requested on that property which includes a portion of Lots 5 and 6. Mr. Elliott stated he has received a copy of the City Engineer' s letter which outlines four items pertinent to this development. He stated they are in agreement with each of the items. The easement to the North mentioned in item one will be granted to Haydn Cutler by Lakewood Joint Venture. However, there is another property owner to the North from which permission must be granted. Acting Chairman Adams requested the City Engineer' s letter to be made a part of the minutes. Mr. Eden inquired about Tract A. Mr. Elliott stated the tract will be utilized as a common area, possibly with tennis courts, a swimming pool and playground equipment, and will be maintained by the home owners. Mr. Pasteur stated this is what they would like to do unless it gets too complex, in which case, it would be a common area with just playground equipment. Acting Chairman Adams asked the square footage of the quadraplex units. Mr. Pasteur stated the two bedroom fourplexes will have about 4200 square feet and the three bedroom fourplexes will have about 5000 square feet. (Paqe Three, Regular Meeting, Planning and Zoning Commission, July 18, 1978) Mr. Elliott stated there are two fourplexes with three bedrooms and four fourplexes with two bedrooms. Acting Chairman Adams asked if they will be two story. Mr. Pasteur stated they will be two story, studio type units. Acting Chairman Adams inquired about the City property in the Eastern corner. If the right-of-way is to be aban- doned, now is the time to do so. Mr. Barnes stated he is not sure the adjacent property owners want the property. However, this will be considered by the City staff and Council . Mr. Jones asked if a physical barrier, such as a brick retaining wall , will be required between the Timber Ridge and Lakewood Additions. Mr. Elliott stated a screening fence is required between residential and multi-family dwelling. However, it is not required to be brick, it could be a wood or masonry fence. Mr. Eden made a motion to recommend final plat approval as requested, subject to the City Engineer's letter. Mr. Jones seconded the motion and the vote is as follows: Ayes: Messrs. Eden, Jones, Deithloff, Adams, and Mrs. Lightbody Nays: None Acting Chairman Adams declared the motion carried. II . CONSIDER PLATTING - REPLAT OF LOT 2R, BLOCK 2, CEDAR HILLS ESTATES. (PROPERTY LOCATED NORTH OF HOLLY- WOOD BLVD. AND EAST OF VINE STREET) Mr. Barnes stated the replat is being requested because the owner wants to build a house on the lot, which was originally fifty-five feet wide. Later, the boundary line was shifted five feet by deed, but was never filed, platted and recorded with the County. This must be done prior to the issuance of a building permit to maintain the five feet and twelve feet side yard requirement. (Page Four, Regular Meeting, Planning and Zoning Commission, July 18, 1978) Acting Chairman Adams requested the City Engineer' s letter to be made a part of the minutes.
