i Mr. Woolston left the meeting at this point. The Commission next heard a request from Eddie Vincent for an exception to the Subdivision Regulations relative to drainage requirements in Windsor Estates. Richard Babb, Consulting Engineer for the development presented information supporting the request to delete a 2 foot wide concrete lining for a drainage ditch running across the rear portions of 6 lots on the south side of the subdivision. Tom Pine, City Engineer, reviewed the requirement in the regulations stating that the concrete lining would permanently mark the drainage way which might otherwise be filled in or used by residents for gardens, etc. Mr. Vincent stated the lots had been presold before construction plans were presented and the proposed buyers objected to the concrete lined ditch across the lots. The matter was discussed at length and Mr. Nutt made a motion to not allow the exception. Mr. McMonigle seconded the motion which carried 7 ayes, 0 nays. Chairman Swaim announced the next item was to consider the request of R.J. Brannon for release of escrow deposit for future curb and gutter installation on Henderson Street in Brannon Addition. Mr. McCollum explained that the escrow deposit was required when the plat was approved in 1982 because it was not feasible to construct curb and gutter at the time of approval due to drainage considerations. He recommended release of the deposit because it did not appear that Henderson Street would be improved with curb and gutter on both sides in the forseeable future. A motion was made by Mrs. Smith, seconded by Mrs. Battle to recommend release of the deposit to the City Council. The motion carried 7 ayes, 0 nays. Mr. McCollum presented information relative to the location of satellite receiving antennas which had been gathered for consideration at the request of the City Council. He said that the City had received several inquiries on the subject and there was some interest in placing restrictions on their location. He went on to say that those Cities which had ordinances, restricted their location to the rear yard of residential structures. The Commission discussed the issue and generally agreed that some control was necessary. A motion was made by Mr. McMonigle, seconded by Mr. Nutt to recommend to the City Council that an ordinance be prepared for consideration. The motion carried 7 ayes, 0 nays. Mr. McCollum next presented information on the land use in the vicinity of 28th N.W. and W. Cherry Street which the City Council had requested a study of, to determine if there was 'reason to create a One Family Dwelling District No. 3 (SF -3) area. He pointed out that the only area which had lots fitting the SF -3 requirements was from Cherry Street south to Graham Street and from 27th N.W. to a block west of 28th N.W. The other platted lots in the area were larger and should remain zoned SF -2. The Commission discussed the matter and the consensus of opinion was that there was no justification to call public hearings on the matter. t
