SITE PLAN REVIEW Preliminary SP-87 (A) - Henry Bartlett Mr. Henry Bartlett was present to discuss the proposed 24 one bedroom apartments to be located at 424 Live Oak Street in the R-5A zoning district. Mr. Bartlett stated he had revised his plans to incorporate several changes the department heads had recommended at the meeting of 8/17/81 and presented storm water management computations. The Board questioned Mr. Bartlett if the question of opening Live Oak Street had been resolved. Mr. Bartlett stated he would have to meet again with the City to resolve this matter. He further indicated he did not consider his projects as a subdivision, nor did he wish to carry the entire burden of cost of opening the street alone since he felt the City should provide access to his property, even though the area is undeveloped. The Comprehensive plan was reviewed under medium density require- ments. The City Attorney stated the Board might consider this is possibly dividing land for development which changes an existing road in which the City would assume responsibility for maintenance. Mr. Bartlett said this would be under one ownership and no division of the land. The Department Head remarks from the review meeting held 8/17/81 were discussed. Mr. Winter made a motion to approve the preliminary site plan (dated 8/12/81 Rev. #1) with the stipulation that utilities be shown prior to final approval and a workable solution be met between the City and developer regarding the street. Mr. Wheeler seconded the motion. Upon roll call the motion CARRIED 8-0.

The Fire Department had indicated fire fighting vehicles would have difficulty turning in the area near the East end of the complex. Redesigning the project was also discussed. There was further discussion regarding the fact this motel was similar in design and appearance as the apartment complex on the adjacent property, which could have an appearance of a "subdivision", without being governed by the appropriate regulations. Mr. Nolan made a motion the preliminary site plan be tabled until a workable solution can be obtained with the developer and the Fire Department for approval of the site plan. Mr. Wheeler seconded the motion. There was further discussion and Mr. Winter made an amendment to the motion to discuss the implication of the zoning of the B-3 permitted uses at the next workshop.

Carder requesting consideration of allowing townhouse development as a new permitted use in the B-5 zoning district. This matter had been tabled from a meeting August 13, 1981. Mr. Nolan made a motion to remove the matter from the table, which was seconded by Mr. Winter. Upon roll call the motion CARRIED 8-0.

Mr. Carder stated he planned a 56 unit homeowner townhouses on the 3.75 acres.

Mr. McKillop reported that he had been working on street names and numbering in his capacity of Edgewater Postmaster, in conjunction with the site plans in the Planning Department. He asked the Board to allow him to continue with this project to keep duplications from occurring. It was the consensus of the Board that Mr. McKillop should be allowed to continue with the project and report back to the Board. The City Attorney reminded the Board they had not set a public hearing as the first step of revising the zoning ordinance. Since the Board would be meeting the second and fourth Wednesdays in September, Mr. Winter made a motion to set a public hearing for September 23rd in reference to the updating and changes of the zoning ordinance.
