AGENDA ITEM NO. 14: 83-311: Preliminary Plat - One Lil1co1n Place located on.the south
side of University Drive
Mr. Mayo explained the plat and located the land on a map. He stated that staff has no
problem with this plat, other than it would request that the access easements be designated
as "private accesseasements". Discussion followed concerning access to Lot.2 from Lincoln,
the plans for the extension of Lincoln, the reasons for the inclusion of Item #4 on the
staff report being that the street had been shown as a public street on the original plat.
Adequacy of the proposed 30ft. drive was discussed, and Mr. Miller stated he believes a
wider street is called for and Mr, Martyn said he would prefer that this be a public street.
Mr. Pullen said he had no problem with the width ifit is a private easement~ Mr. Mayo
said in his opinion, this 30 ft. private access easement would be minimal for the proposed
res identi alproJect, and a. 40 ft.. width would probably be better. Mr .Pu 11 en po'i nted out
that a private traffic study had been done for these developers and taking into account
the A-P zoning and the residential zoning, a minimum street width of 30 ft. would be suffi-
cient.. Mr. Mayo then pointed out that a 30 ft. private drive is more efficient than a
public 28 ft. street, because it wouldbea fire lane with no parking.
Mr. Sailey'made a motion to approve with Presubmissionrecommendations with the deletion
of ltem #4 and the addition of>a note that access easements shall be private. Motion
seconded by Mr. Miller and carried by.a vote of,6-l with Mr. Martyn voting against it.
Mr. Kaiser requested presentation of more information, including the pros and cons of pri-
vate access easements 30ft, inwJdth when the Final Plat is considered.

a system offnvertedcrowns.on streets to accommodate drainag~hasbeen developed as a re-
