HISTORY:
Country Estates was approved as a preliminary plat by the
City Council in 1989, as well as a zoning change from (C)
Commercial to [SF-12) SinGle-Family-12. The plat was
approved with the condition that the roadway concerns for
Bethel School Road be resolved prior to final plat

ANALYSIS:
The plat as submitted, conforms to City codes and
ordinances, however, staff is concerned with the angle of
the intersection at Bethel School Road and Harris Street,
and recommends that "No Parking' signs be placed along
Harris Street, from Brooks Street north to Bethel School
Road·
The applicant's engineer has submitted a request to leave
the area between lots 3 and 4 of Block A, in its natural
condition. The Engineering Department recommends that the
stream be placed in a storm sewer line along a portion of
the property, in order to avoid future erosion problems
along the sides of the channel.
Staff has no objections to the approval of the final plat,
provided:
· no parking signs are placed at developers expense
along Harris Road between Brooks Lane and Bethel
School Road
· the drainage issue between lots 3 and 4, Block A is
resolved to the satisfaction of the City Engineer
· no alleys be provided behind lots 1-4, and 9-13, in
Block A

RE: Count:~ Estates
NDM Job No. 89-04-060
Dear Ken,
Thank you for taking thc time to meet with Peter Stnt~ and me to uy to resolve our difference~ reprdins our
desire to leave Str~-qm 'O 2-A* in a natural condition ~s it c~o~ses a poflion of Count~ Estates. We
appreciate your position that this proposal dcserv~ a fliorough analysis. The following is a summary of steps
we have agreed to take to try to pin your support for our proposal
We will reshape the channel bottom to flatten it's slope., widen the bottom and assure a side
slope of 4:1 or lcss. T"njs will reduce the velocity in the channel m leto than 5 feet per serond.
We propose to sod the channel's sides in any area subject to the 10(~mr evunt
It is our belial that the reshapin[ and passin~ of the dlnanel v;m yield a nen-ezudw~
+
In order to provje, e additional erosion protection at the end of our pipe whare the ~ocity is
greatest, we propose to place grouted mmsap stone in lbo channel
At our enst pmpe~ line ~ the improqml channel vdli transition into t~e natural
channel, we have agreed to increase tha width of the flotdwey areL
In order to assure that the City will have no implied maintnaunc~ respunsfbility [ditl~ to
tha channek we have a~reed to place a no~ to that effect on the plat nad to file a deed
KL'n, Country Estates will offer some of the most atUactive and n~st expemive bomes w~thin ~ In
order to maximize the aesthatic qualities of this subdivislun, we think it is or vital impommo~ t° preserve /
natural channel and thc trees along it.
We understand your position that replacing the channel and uees with a concze~ pipe would address the
drainege issu~ in a virtually maintenanoe free manner, if this ~ere a erect home subdivis~n, v~ wouM
probal~ly agree with your approach. Howe~r, duc to the upscale dmm:ter we are uyinS the adlieve, we
request the latitude to be able to develop a more creativt solution.
