NEW BUSINESS
Chairman Lentz explained to the Commission and to the members of
the audience that the Planning and Zoning Commission is trying a
new approach regarding the approval of plats. He stated that
staff will prepare a letter to the Commission listing the sug-
gested corrections that need to be made to the plat. At this
time, the Commission can make a decision to approve, disapprove
or approve the plat with contingencies.
As you may or may not be aware, Mr. Lentz explained, state law
requires a city to act on a plat within thirty days of submittal.
Staff has in the past accepted the plat, reviewed it, sent it
back for corrections, reviewed it again, and then placed it on
the agenda of the Commission. This process may take longer than
thirty days.
On a final note, Mr. Lentz stated that no plat will be approved
until all plats are signed by the Drainage District and all fees
are paid prior to submittal.

Chairman Lentz read the recommendation letter from Staff Repre-
sentative Guynes. Several items listed in the letter were dis-
cussed with Mr. Tom Eikel, Eikel Engineering. The Commission
questioned one of the street names, Pin Oak Circle, in the subdi-
vision. It was pointed out that in Oakbrook Subdivision there
is a Pin Oak Drive which could be confusing for the mail service
and also in an emergency situation.
The Commission discussed other items such as the approval from
the acting City Engineer on the construction drawings, receipt of
letters from the pipeline companies releasing the drainage ease-
ment on the west side of the subdivision, and the addition of
three permanent bench marks.
After no further discussion, it was moved by James Garner, sec-
onded by Mary Starr, that the final plat of West Oaks Subdivision
be approved contingent upon the following:
1. The drafting error be changed from 50 residential lots to 60.
2. The letters from the pipeline companies be received by the
City.
3. Plat be corrected to show three permanent bench marks.
4. The construction drawings be approved by the acting City
Engineer.
5. The duplication of Pin Oak Circle be finalized in a satisfac-
tory condition to the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Motion passed 6 to 0.
In discussion it was questioned whether the subdivision ordinance
required approval of the construction drawings prior to plat
approval. Upon checking the ordinance, it was determined that
this was not a requirement for approval.

COUNCIL REGARDING THE EXTENSION OF MYRTLEWOOD STREET (IN THE

that a letter be prepared to the City Council recommending this
extension.
It was moved by Jack Womack, seconded by Helen Beckman, that
recommendation be made to Council to approve the extension of
Myrtlewood to Dixie Farm Road.
