Mr. Al Mayo reviewed the procedure to be used, the objectives of the hearing and and the steps that the city is taking to relieve certain identified problems under normal maintenance procedures. Chairman Longley opened the public hearing. Discussion followed concerning street drainage problems in the Lincoln Street project, Churchill and Avenue B, and the Kapchinskie Addition. Commissioners Boyett and Calliham pointed out that some of the items could be handled by normal maintenance effort and that drainage works are often inseperable from street improvements. Councilman Dale pointed out that many of these problems had not been brought to the attention of the City Council. He suggested that the information developed at this meeting should be analyzed by the City Entineer and City Manager to determine what could be taken care of in the maintenance budget and which items would require special funding and brought to the attention of the Council. Commissioner Chaney stated that the apartment project above the Kapchinskie Addition was aggravating the drainage problem in the Kapchinskie Addition and that the developer had assured the Commission that this would not happen. Commissioner Chaney moved that the Commission recommend to the City Council that no building permits, zone changes or final utility connections be issued to the Anderson Ridge Corporation or the Wolf Pen Village Corporation until the developer provides construction guarantees, completes construction required by the terms of their building permit, and provides required park dedications to the satisfaction of the Planning and Zoning Commission. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Miller and unanimously approved. 410 Discussion continued concerning the possibility of augmenting the Community Develop- ment funds, drainage and water pressure problems in the Richards-Sterling area, drainage in the Holleman Drive area and the McCulloch Addition. MINUTES, Planning and Zoning Commission February 3, 1975 Page 2 The Commission suggested that community needs be specifically identified and • organized into priorities, Commissioner Chaney pointed out that the expenditure of the Community Development funds would have the effect of upgrading inadequate subdivisions toward present standards.
