DISCUSSION OF JO: DESCRIPTION FOR PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION This section was passed over due to the fact that the job description questionnaire was removed from the agenda to be approved by Councilmember Benny Frank, as per Division Director - Administrative Support Glen Erwin. The packets had already been delivered. DISCUSSION OF TRAFFIC MODIFICATION AT THE INTERSECTIONS OF WALNUT AND BROADWAY City Engineer John Hargrove explained the proposed options via maps. After a general discussion of the options, Mr. Hargrove informed the Commission that they would be receiving maps with the proposed options on them. DIRECTOR'S REPORT 2 Richard Burdine, Division Director Planning, Public Works & Parks, reviewed City Council objectives from last July. One of the objectives was a landscape ordinance. Since items of landscaping are not brought before the P&Z for review, perhaps this could be required in the ordinance. Emil Beltz asked about addressing the issue of landscaping on the application form for variances and zone changes. Richard Burdine discussed the possibility of an expansion of landscaping in the Subdivision Ordinance and adopt a procedure stating that the developer will identify on the preliminary plat the trees over a certain size which are in the street right-of-way. However, the consensus was to keep it as a procedure since a procedure is easier to change than an ordinance. The main issue is to protect the trees which are already there. The next objective on the City Council's list was a revision of the Sign Ordinance. A third objective is a long range capital improvement plan which includes a thoroughfare plan (streets) and sewer and water facilities. Our public buildings are in pretty good condition, for the most part. Closing his remarks, Mr. Burdine stated that the Council would like to have input from the Commission on the three above objectives. ADJOT] The meeting adjourned at 8:42 P.M.

The variance is requested for the requirement of a 6 inch water main (minimum size). We currently propose a 3 inch main at this site. The plans for the Robin Cove, Section 1 private water system were approved by the City in 1988 (see attached). The proposed well was to be located in Section 2. As can be seen on the site plan a 3 inch main feed to the system was proposed. This line was to serve both Section 1 and 2. Section 1 has been constructed with a 3 inch main line. We proposed to upgrade the main feed from the well to a 6 inch line with 3 inch mains to serve both Section 1 and 2. We believe that the prior approval granted by the City gives credence to our request. If you have any questions or require any additional information, please do not hesitate to call. I remain, Very truly yours, Lentz Engineering Altered E. Lentz, P.E., R.P.L.S.

The request is based on the following information: At the time of the platting of Section 1, Robin Cove, the City requested that Robin Spur be added to the plat at its current location. This was to allow for the extension into the owners second tract for the future. The basic plan was to limit the number of street connections into Roy Road. We will be happy to discuss this further with the Commission. Sincerely yours, C.L.
