3. Conduct Public Hearing to Consider a Final Replat of property legally described as Lot
llR-1, and Lot llR-2. Block A., Lakecrest Meadows, Phase 1.
Chairperson Fenoglio declared public hearing opened.
Kevin Murphy addressed the Board, and presented corrected Plats since there was a
discrepancy between the dedication of 430.73 and the drawing of 403.73 for the distance
of the last property line.
Mr. Murphy also indicated the certificate of approval for the signature of the Planning
And Zoning Chairman was also added to the Plat.
Mr. Barton asked a question in regards to the original Plat, in regards to Lot 11, he
wanted to know what their intention was at this time, and why they were subdividing
it.
Mr. Murphy indicated on the original Plat the lot consisted of 3.2 acres, which had a
pond on the lot. The pond was not part of the drainage plan, and they made sure it
was not included. Mr. Murphy indicated at that time they thought the pond would be
an indemnity that a landowner would find attractive, and it included enough acreage
for a house next to the pond; however, they have found that people are not inclined to
live next to a pond. The market response has not been what they expected.
There intent is to fill the pond when they do their construction on the second phase.
Mr. Barton expressed concerns regarding Lot llR-1 and placement ofa septic tank and
septic system on the property and whether or not it would be in the flood plain.
Mr. Murphy indicated the area where the drainage easement comes across is low, then
there is a step, and the building site is just on top of that step.
Mr. Barton expressed his concern as to the septic system being in the lower area and
possibly being subject to floods, especially when they start Phase II. The drainage on
the west side of their development comes down to their road.
Mr. Murphy indicated the drainage ditch in that area was sized properly based on the
flows coming from Phase II, and he does not think there will be much flooding.
Mr. Murphy continued to express that the culverts, and side bar ditches on both sides
of the road were sized appropriately considering the development coming from Phase
II.
Mr. Murphy indicated that siting the septic tank would not be a problem.
Joe Higgs indicated what Mr. Barton was trying to explain is that once they take out
the easement for the drainage, it would possibly not leave the one acre necessary for
the county restrictions.
Mr. Murphy indicated he had not yet done the calculations; however, he believed it
would.
Mr. Barton indicated, after he did some calculations, he believed it would clear the one
acre necessary for the county.
Discussion.
Mr. Murphy indicated Phase II would probably be ready for presentation within the
next three weeks.
There was brief discussion on development of other surrounding properties, and
drainage concerns were expressed.
Chairperson Fenoglio declared public hearing closed.
