Dear Steve:
Sorry for the delay in getting this letter prepared. We°ve been totally swamped.
Instead of trying to estimate what amount of time your architects and engineers
will need to make revisions, etc. on your plans, I have decided the best way for
me to address your questions is to include our flow chart which depicts the
building permit process, and I will identify the amount of time each step which
takes place in City Hall will take. Of course, the number of times a set of plans
is returned for revisions will have a great deal of bearing on the total amount of
time it takes to review the plans, so the flow chart depicts the best-case-
scenario.
I hope this will help to answer your questions. If you have others, please do not
hesitate to contact me.
We look forward to the receipt of your plans so the review process can begin.
Yours very truly,
Shirley J. Volk

Dear Steve:
I seem to be apologizing for something each time I write, but I would like to clarify one point that
I neglected to include in the letter I faxed to you yesterday. That point being that platting this
property is not required by the City since there is actually no subdivision of land taking place.
Because platting is not a requirement, it will not be an impediment to issuance of a building
permit. We would, however, urge you to plat this property for purposes of official
documentation, as well as to convey certain easements to cover City infrastructure and the
dedication of the right-of-way for South Kyle street.
Prior to issuance of a building permit, the City will require that you dedicate a "temporary blanket
easement" to cover the entire tract and will give coverage to infrastructure being built and City
personnel inspecting and doing work on the property during construction. This "temporary
blanket easement" can be released with the filing of the final plat or with submission and filing of
an "easement dedication plat" which would show the actual locations of required easements to
cover the infrastructure which will be dedicated to the City, rather than to try to install the
infrastructure in specific locations already covered by easements. Whatever vehicle is chosen to
accomplish the release of the temporary blanket easement should be processed after completion
of the project and issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy.
I am enclosing "Easement Information Sheets" which explains what is required for preparation of
the temporary blanket easement.
I hope this will help to answer your questions. If you have others, please do not hesitate to
contact me.
Yours very truly,
Shirley J. Volk

Dear Mr. Munro:
In response to Mr. Utley's request of October 5th for a letter to be sent to you
addressing the impact of a drainage easement on a tract of land, I offer the following:
In reference to drainage easements, the Subdivision Regulations for the City state that
"...Such easement shall not be considered a part of the lot area for purposes of
minimum lot size requirements of the zoning ordinance...". Therefore, a drainage
easement. would reduce the "size" of the lot. The .proposed location and width of the
utility easement carrying the underground storm sewer, as shown on the attachment,
will not affect the density calculation for the Munroe property. To include this easement
as part of the overall lot for density purposes does not violate the intent of the section
quoted from the Subdivision Regulations. In the ins#ance where a drainage easement
encumbers a large portion of a property it should be excluded from any density
calculation. Placing your storm sewer in a pipe underground will allow you to also
utilize the easement area for other paved surfaces such as parking.
The Commercial uses allowed in -the Wolf Pen Creek zoning district require front
setbacks of 25 feet, rear setbacks of 15 feet and side setbacks of 7.5 feet. Multi-family
uses typically require a front setback of 25 feet, rear setback of 20 feet and side
setback of 7.5 feet. If a drainage easement is located in one of the areas where a
setback is required, the setback and the drainage easement can' overlap.
We hope this information will help you. If you have any other questions, please do not
hesitate to contact us.
Yours very truly,

re: 8.0 ac. tract, Morgan Rector Tr. 97.
Dear 1VIr. Noonan:
I have reviewed your proposal to address the Kyle Street southern extension issue by
dedicating athirty-five (35) foot wide right-of--way along the western boundary of your
property. This will leave an additional thirty-five foot right-of--way on the adjacent tract
for the City to acquire through dedication at development or other acquisition method.
After review and consideration we have decided to recommend that right-of--way for the
future Kyle extension is centered along your western boundary (consistent with your
proposal above). We will present and support this recommendation to the City Council as
part of the normal development review process for the project proposed on your tract.
incerel ,
