Dick Rooney, 3620 Summer Hill, property owner, spoke in favor of the petition.
Mr. Rooney stated the development sits on roughly one acre of land and will consist
of 11 units; two quad units and one triplex. The units will be single story two
bedroom, two baths; there will be a front and back door with adequate lighting.
Chairman Chalaire asked if this is going to be single story brick construction. Mr.

the street on the north side be used as. Mr. Rooney stated that the hammer head
or T shown on the site plan is for the fire department to use to turn around.
B. No one spoke in opposition.
Charles Morrisman, 2440 Highland Road, property owner, stated he is not opposed
to the development; he just had concerns regarding drainage. He stated the back
side of our property floods, what will they do to address the flooding issues that
already exist in the neighborhood. Shawn Napier stated that this site does have a
detention pond to help slow down the water, which is required. Chairman Chalaire
stated that the water flow will be directed to 25th Street N.E. and the detention pond
which will slow down the water; so the water flow will not increase, it will remain
the same as it was prior to development.

subject to the City Engineer's recommendations. Motion carried 5 -0.
4. Consideration of and action on the Preliminary Plat of Lots 1 and 2, Block B, Morningside
North #2 Addition, being located at 4200 Block of Lamar Avenue.
Shawn Napier, City Engineer, stated Mr. Glass brought in an updated preliminary plat with
all of the recommendations addressed except for item 2, the 5 feet right of way dedication.
Mr. Glass submitted a letter for the 5 foot right of way dedication. David Glass stated
the transaction called for a 28 foot ingress /egress easement. Shawn Napier stated this is
much larger than what he called for originally. Chairman Chalaire stated effectively what
they are asking for is an exception to item 2 of the Engineer's memo for the 5 foot right of
way dedication. Chairman Chalaire asked when this property was originally platted in
1988 was the major thoroughfare plan in place. Shawn Napier stated he was unable to
find one for that time, if there was one in place. David Glass stated he didn't see a written
document, however at that time we were required to put 42nd to connect to Morningside
and line in curb to Lamar. There was a thoroughfare plan in effect at that time, the City
did opt out of participating in the plan, or participate financially to widen the road to the 60
foot. Mr. Glass further stated they have followed what the City required at that time and
have complied at this time. The houses built behind this property are on a zero lot line and
he can't see how they could ever widen that road. Motion was made by Richard Hunt,
seconded by Keith Flowers to approve the preliminary plat, subject to the City Engineer's
recommendations except for item #2. Motion carried 5 -0.
5. Consideration of and action on the Final Plat of Lots I and 2, Block B, Morningside North
#2 Addition, being located in the 4200 Block of Lamar Avenue.
Shawn Napier, City Engineer, stated that the recommendation memo includes all the same
comments as the preliminary plat except for item 6.
Motion was made by Jerry Akers, seconded by Keith Flowers to approve the final plat,
subject to the City Engineer's recommendations except for item #2. Motion carried 5 -0.
6. Consideration of and action on the Final Plat of Lots 1, 2 and 3, Block A, Lamar Business
Park Addition, being located in the 800 Block of Loop 286 S.E.
Shawn Napier, City Engineer, stated they had to add infrastructure which included
building a sewer line and adding a couple of fire hydrants. They had to build the
infrastructure prior to getting the final plat approved. At this time all work has been
completed and approved by the City. Motion was made by Richard Hunt, seconded by
Keith Flowers to approve the final plat, subject to the City Engineer's recommendations.
Motion carried 5 -0.
7. Consideration of and action on the Preliminary Plat of Lot 1, Block A, Victory Baptist
Church Addition CB 316, being number 3155 Pine Mill Road.

keep water from draining into the backyards located to the east of the property. They have
already started the dirt work with approval from the City. Motion was made by James
