Again Taryon Bowman introduced the item to the Commissioners.
She stated that all staff comments had been addressed; there-
fore, staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat.
Mr. Pete Hennessey of Hennessey Engineers, was present to
represent this item. Mr. Hennessey stated that they had
worked with the City Engineering staff and Taryon Bowman to
comply with all staff comments. As requested by staff, they
have included the lay out of the proposed sanitary sewer, the
existing service they will be tying into, the planned water
service, and they are adding one fire hydrant and two storm
sewers.
After questions from the Commissioners, Mr. Hennessey stated
that the fire lane will be completed in Phase II. Richard
Moore, Pastor of Christ Our Savior Lutheran Church, stated
that they currently have a Kindergarten and a preschool
program. He further stated that the school will open with
first grade in the fall, and will be providing extended care
for students after school. Mr. Moore then stated that they
intend to add one grade per year, up through fifth grade.
Following discussion Commissioner Tunnell moved to approve the
preliminary plat for Christ Our Savior Lutheran Church as
submitted. Commissioner Green seconded the motion; motion
carried (7-0) with Chairman Munsch and Commissioners Green,

P & Z Coordinator Taryon Bowman again introduced the item to
Minutes of May 19, 1988

the Commissioners. Ms. Bowman stated that this plat, if
approved, will allow the construction of forty-seven (47)
single family detached homes, with a typical lot size of four
thousand eight hundred (4,800) square feet. She also stated
that the applicant is requesting variances to the Comprehen-
sive Zoning Ordinance. Those variances are:
1) The deletion of alleys along the exterior lots.
2) Lot 1, Block 2, front entry access requested.
3) Lot 14, Block 29 an 18 inch RCP lies under the drive
approach, located within a fifteen foot drainage
easement.
Ms. Bowman then stated that all DRC comments had been ad-
dressed; therefore, staff recommends approval of the final
plat.
Mr. Don Peebles of P.R. Engineering was present to represent
the item and answer any questions. Mr. Peebles stated that
the only difference between the final plat and the preliminary
plat, was that they were going to try to include more common
area in back of the larger lots facing the lake. After
talking with staff, it was felt that this was probably a
traffic generator, and that they would have to provide some
type of park type parking. Since this would eliminate a
number of lots, they went back to the original scheme with
access easements along the lake, and leaving the bigger lots.
Following discussion Commissioner Weaver moved to approve the
final plat for Channel Pointe Addition as submitted. Commis-
sioner Johnson seconded the motion; motion carried (7-0) with
Chairman Munsch and Commissioners Green, Johnson, Pope,
Thomas, Tunnell and Weaver voting in favor of the motion.
The meeting was then adjourned.
