'Mr. Mayo referred to his memo which listed problems' with the plat. He pointed' out that if a four-plex were built on each R-4 zoned lot the net density would excee,d 16 units per acre, and that the 25 foot wide commercial lots left the possibility of numerous curb cuts on.11anuel Drive. Mr. Mayo pointed out that the plan for this area which had been generally approved by Council required that Maneul Drive be located on the south property line in cooperation with L. J. Kirkpatrick. Mr. Mayo pointed out that this would allow deeper lots and greater design flexibility ., Don, Garrett, project engineer, stat'ed that Mr. Kirkpatrick was not ready to develop his property at this.time. He presented a proposed plan for one of the four-plex units. Mr. J. W. lvoad stated that he had been asked to prepare a plan for one unit on one lot, and that he felt this was the wrong way to do the project. He stated that a site plan should be prepared for the entire property. The basic concerns of the Commission were: 1. Density over 16 units per acre. 2. The 25 foot wide commercial lots. 3. The monotony of the site plan. Mr. Garrett stated that the owners would just as soon plat.the commercial lots as one lot, and they could easily increase lot size to meet the density requirement.

City Planner Mayo pointed out that each four-plex would require a use permit unless the entire project were submitted at one time. Mr. Delamaiter, a resident of the area, asked Mr'. Lacey" another resident, if Mr. Cain had presented any more complete development plans. Mr. Lacey stated that Mr. Cain planned to meet with him the following day to show him plans of the entire development. Mr. Delamaiter stated that he was under the impression that Mr. Cain would build duplexes and he objected to four-plexes. Commissioner 11athewson noted that the preliminary plat which the Commission had approved under other business at the August 4, 1977 meeting differed from the original plat in that the first preliminary plat showed duplex size lots where the present plat showed larger, four-plex lots. Chairman Stover noted that the plat considered at the August 4 meeting was presented at the request of the Commission and that the plat under consideration reflected the Commission's recommendations as to street alignment and circulation. Commissioner Mathewson suggested that since the plat considered at the August 4 meeting had not been on the agenda, the approval of that p.r~liminaryplat might be invalid.
