The following members were present: R. W. Smedul, Chairman Frank Pope, Commissioner Gary Adams, Commissioner Peyton Weaver, Commissioner Co -Chairman Geren Burton was not present. Also present were City Secretary Dorothy Timmons and City Planning Coordinator Scott Barnett. The meeting was called to order and everyone asked to stand while Commissioner Pope gave the invocation. Following the invocation, Commissioner Pope moved that the minutes be approved as submitted; Commissioner Weaver seconded and motion carried 4-0. ITEM NO. 4: Consider approval of preliminary plat of MacArthur Boulevard Phase IV (street right-of-way). ITEM N0. 5: Consider approval of final plat of MacArthur Boulevard, Phase IV, (street right-of-way) Mr. Lynn Kadleck and Mr. Don Brock made the presentation to the: Commission. They stated that the intersection at Beltline Road is planned to decrease from a 6 lane to a 4 lane road in anticipation of the improvements on the existing Beltline Road. At this point, MacArthur Boulevard will be higher than Beltline and will transition down to the Beltline intersection. A stop sign will be placed on MacArthur until such time as a signal light is justified. The 24' median will continue from the south to the intersection of Beltline and Mac- Arthur. Following discussion on this item, Commissioner Adams moved that the preliminary and final plat be recommended for approval; Commissioner Pope seconded and motion carried 4-0. ITEM N0. 6: Consider approval of preliminary plat of Townoak Centre (Minyards) Mr. Delbert Duncan and Mr. Glen Hinckley made the presentation to the Commission. It was stated that Minyards will provide a full service food store and Univest will furnish the building shown as A, B and C on the plat. The submittal of the plat was made prior to the adoption of the new zoning ordinance and meets all requirements with the exception of the area to accomodate landscaping features and the overhang of vehicles in the parking into the City's right-of-way. Everything in the shell frame and the store fronts will be built as the first phase. Mr. Hinckley stated that it would be impossible to include the addition- al 10' of greenbelt without redesign of the development and squeezing the park- ing places down where some of the spaces would be lost. Mr. Duncan also stated that the additional landscape requirements would require a complete redesign and would move the building closer to Sandy Lake Road. The question was raised as to whether this was a joint venture between Minyards and Univest on the development project. Mr. Duncan stated that Minyards owned the land and that they had conveyed some of the land to Univest which essentially did make the venture a joint venture. City Manager Ron Ragland was present in the audience and stated that the staff had proposed a procedure whereby the 10' landscaping could be worked out. He also stated that Univest Development was involved in the review process of the new ordinance and was aware of the new requirements. He reminded the Planning and Zoning Commission that the applicant could request a variance but that it could be granted only by the Board of Adjustments. He then stated several recommendations of the City in order for the development to come in compliance with the new ordinance; however, he stated that the problem was not one for the City to solve for the applicants, rather the applicants needed to bring the recommendation for solving the problems back to the City. He stated that basically the Planning and Zoning Commission had three options: They could deny the plat at this time, they could approve contingent upon the Board of Adjustments approving the variances, or they could approve it with the stipulation that the two parties involved work out the problems to bring the development into compliance with existing City ordinances. Mr. Ragland also informed the Planning and Zoning Commission of a problem concerning the drainage that needed to be worked out prior to final approval. Following discussion on this item, Commissioner Weaver moved that the preliminary plat be recommended for approval subject to resolution of the zoning variances with the Board of Adjustments prior to submission to the City Council; Commissioner Adams seconded and motion carried 4-0. ITEM NO. 7: Consider approval of final plat of Townoak Centre (Minyards) Following further discussion, Commissioner Pope moved that the final plat be approved subject to the same stipulations as Number 6 above; Commissioner Adams seconded and motion carried 3-1 with Commissioner Weaver against.
