Deliberate and act on the Preliminary Plat, Final Plat, and variance request for the improvement of drainage channels of Lots 1, 2 and 3, Block A, Essent PRMC Addition 306 #1, located at 365 DeShong Drive, 1025 DeShong Drive, 2850 Lewis Lane, 2870 Lewis Lane, and 2890 Lewis Lane. City Engineer Shawn Napier recommended approval of the Preliminary Plat and denial of the Final Plat and variance request. Mr. Napier explained that there were two unimproved drainage channels on the hospital property and that a drainage easement was required, because water was flowing from off -site through the hospital property to another off -site property. Mr. Napier said that subdivision regulations required the drainage ditches be improved and that Paris Regional Medical City had requested a variance from having to improve the channels. He also said that the variance request included them from having to show utility easements. Mr. Napier told Council if they denied the variance, they would have to deny the final plat and that PRMC would have to improve the drainage channels or subsequently enter into a subdivision improvement agreement prior to proceeding with their development. Council Member Rhonda Rogers inquired as to what PRMC would have to do next, should Council not approve the variance. Mr. Napier said they would have to come up with a plan to improve the channels before they could obtain a building permit. Council Member Pickle wanted to know if denial of the final plat would slow the project. Mr. Napier said that was a possibility.
