City Council Minutes of D~cember 12, 1989
Item 28:
D~scussion, consideration of approval of a corrected final
plat, and abandonment of the previously fil.~d final plat, for
Shadowridge Estates, 4th Increment, located at the northwest
corner of Plantation and Bethel School Road, at the request of
Centex Real Estate Corporation.
Planning Coordinator Taryon Bowman made the presentation to the Council.
Ms. Bowman stated that the previous plat being abandoned was approved by
Council on September 8, 1989. This plat backs-up to the east end of
Kaye street. After approval of the original plat the Engineering
Company later determined that the grades were to steep along the north
side. of the property between the proposed sub-division and the existing
sub-division to the north. To alleviate the problem of building a
retaining wall along the north the applicant increased the width of the
platted alley from the required minimum of fifteen (]5) feet to twenty
(20) feet. The Development Review Committee reviewed the corrected plat
and their only concern is with the maintenance of the grassy areas along
the north side of the alley. The Planning and Zoning Commission has
recommended approval of this plat with the condition that a note be
placed on the plat that the homeowner is responsible for mowing the
grass on the other side of the alley. Following discussion on this
item, Councilman Robertson moved that the plat be approved with the
condition as stated. Councilman Thomas seconded the motion; motion
carried 7-0 with Mayor Pro Tem Wilkerson, Councilmen Thomas, Morton,
Smothermon, Cowman, Robertson and Nelson voting in favor of the motion.
