(6-0} 89-346: Reconsideration of Master:: AGENDA ITEM No. 4. Preliminary Plat -Emerald Forest Phases 8, 9, 10 & 11. Mr. Callaway pointed :.out the difference between the plat under consideration at this meeting and the plat of the same area which was considered earlier in 1989 by the~Commisson and then taken to Council, not for consideration flf the lat, but for consideration of financial participation in p , the construction of the br~.dge portion of Appomattox. He s ated that his revised plat does not provide for the extension of what had previously been designated "North Forest Parkway", but does include the extension of ~ Appomattox via the bridge in which :Council has-committed certain funding. He also informed the Commissioners what the area between this property and the Bypass is not- drawn to scale on the plat, and is actually much longer that it appears to be on F, the plat. Mr. Callaway went on to inform the Commission that the City has a ''blanket easement" which provides continuous, '~ uninterru ted acce s through thi tract of land to the wa to water treatment plant, and the developer has indicated on the ...:plat that he p ans to relocate that access wary to the ,, north side of his property, and outside the boundares'of ~~ ,, thus plat.. Mrs. Sawtelle asked foran explanation of the "half street" ref erred to in the memo from Mark Smith. Mr . Smith replied that the subdivision ordinance prohibits platting half ~; streets, and it is his opinion that the reserve strip in - '~ ~ which the developer has proposed locating access to the , waste water treatment plant could represent a "half street" ~~ - in the event it is determined that this is he location for the collector street whch`is indicated as part of the Thoroughfare Plan. He exp wined that a collector street ~~ would require a 60, foot right-of-way, and this ~0 foot reserve scrip would only c-over one=half the necessary width. ;, ,, ~' Mrs. Sawtelle asked if thin would compare to the dilemma of Sebesta Road and Mr. Smith replied that this would be entirely diffevent from the Sebesta Road issue because Sebesta Road was a county road before it became access to 2 1 P&Z Minutes January 4 Page 2 subdivisions:, and this 30 :foot strip would only represent access for the City to cross th property with traffic to P&Z Minutes January 4 Page` 5 P&Z Minutes 'January ~ Page 6 P&Z.:Minutes January 4 Page Mr. Wells stated the existing treatment plan is no less than P&Z Minutes January 4 Page 1:0 ~, oo~7as ~, ', III Mayor..
