1. Assistant Chairperson Glenn Shaw Called the Meeting to Order.
2. Approve Minutes.
Motion was made by Mike James to Approve the Minutes. Seconded by Betty Jenkins.
Motion carried 1manimously.
3. Conduct Public Rearing to Consider a Preliminary Plat on Waco Addition Lots 1-7
being 6.26 acres in the R. Tierwester Survey, Abstract 1241.
Glenn Shaw declared Public Rearing Opened.
Mr. Coleman addressed the Board concerning this plat. Mr. Coleman indicated the site
was extremely unusual since it bad existing gravel road through the property. There
was not enough land to put a standard development. Mrs. Royal's intentions were to
distribute the property between members of her family.
Mr. Coleman addressed the following items that were indicated on the City's letter from
Travis Roberts.
Comments on the following items are listed below.
1. The plan as proposed contains 7 lots. Access to the lots is limited to designated
existing road and/or 30 foot wide Ingress/Egress Utility Easements. These
proposed access roads do provide a way for traffic to get to each lot. It is not
clear about the otlsite access rights to the north road. If possible we would
suggest that a recorded easement or legal access rights be established and the
data shown on the future final plat of this project. Lot 2 does not have any
access.
They wiU use the existing road. They have also provided on Lots 2 and 3 another
loop to allow access and not to rely on the of/site access. Mr. Coleman stated the

lot indicates a 20 ft easement on Lot 4. Georgia has transfe"ed the title to Lot 4
to her son, and he has built a house on it. It appears that the location of the
house and sewer line indicates the line is running undemeath the house. Mr.
Coleman stated that he did not believe this to be the case since they tapped on to
the sewer line. Mr. Coleman indicated he needed to go to the ground and locate
the sewer line.
2. The surveyor should provide the owner standard subdivision certificate to
clearly define and identify that access rights are provided to all lots shown on
the plat. We reali7.e the proposed plat does not conform with standard
subdivision requirements for SO foot wide right-of-way to all lots. Apparently
this is the best that can be expected due to the configuration of this property.
Mr. Coleman stated that they would provide standard subdivision certijkates to
clearly define and identify that access rights were provided to all lots shown on the
plat. Mr. Coleman stated that the 30 foot ROW is not in conformance with the
subdivision requirements of 50 feet. This is why they wiU request a private
easement so it wiU not be city maintained but maintained by the owners themselves.
3. The City should not accept the road or Ingress/Egress for maintenance. These
are less than City Standards. Approval of the Final Plat should include a note
to be added which identifies that these are provided and no City maintenance
will be provided. Also the road area should be clear as to what Lot or
ownership will exist on the File Plat.
They are not asking the City to accept the road or Ingress/Egress for maintenance.
The final plat wiU include a note that this wiU be maintained by owners and that
no City maintenance wiU be required. The road area will be clear as to what Lot
or ownership wiU exist on the final plat. Each Lot wiU get some portion of the
road. Mr. Coleman indicated there would be deed restrictions to reflect the
maintenance of the roads.
4. The normal City design requirements would require detail plans for water lines
and services, fire hydrants, sewer lines and services and drainage details.
Mr. Coleman advised they are not proposing to construct to City lines. They are
proposing to tie into existing City lines. On Lots 1, 2, and 3 they would be served
by a private lift station.
S. Lots 1 and 2 should include an established minimum finished Door elevation to
reduce the potential of flooding from the existing drainage. The existing
drainage easement or the new easement will require distance and bearings to be
shown on the Final Plat as to the specific location of the easement.

On Lots 1 and 2 they will indicate existing drainage easements on the Final Plat
as to the specific location of the easement.
6. Lot 4 indicates an existing sanitary sewer line passing under the existing Bouse.
This line should be covered by a utility easement. This may not be possible due
to its current location. The surveyor indicated all sewer to each lot would be
private sewers not maintained by the City.
As soon as they tie the line it wiU be covered by a utility easement.
7. Lot No. 2 should be connected to Railroad Avenue by an Ingress/Egress and
utility easement. At the current time, this Lot 2 does not have a way for access.
Already addressed on preliminary sketches and will be indicated on Final Plat.
8. The Final Plat must have bearing and distance on all lot lines so a suneyor can
locate the points in the field. The surveyor who prepared this plat will
understand this requirement.
The Final Plat wiU indicate bearing and distance on aU lot lines so surveyor can
locate points in the field.
9. Is it the City intent to have the developer install water and sewer lines to each
lot? The state criteria is to separate water and sewer lines at least 9 feet and
they should be in an easement. Water meters should be set on each lot.
Mr. Coleman stated service lines are in the easements and they wiU provide
easements where a service line must cross another lot to obtain the main.
Access will be provided on paper and the lot owner will be responsible to pay fees
to tie on.
Discussed was the existing water lines. Mr. Coleman stated Lots 1, 2 and 3 wiU
access the new 8" water line from Railroad Avenue.
Lots 4 has existing water. Lots S, 6, and 7 wiU use the 2" Une.
Glenn Shaw and Mike James stated they would like the Final Plat to indicate as many
lots serviced from the 8 11
, possibly 1, 2, 3 and 5.
Glenn Shaw declared Public Bearing closed.
