." I,'
Mr. Buhmeyer indicated an 8 inch water line would be required.
Mr. Rettig also noted an 8 inch water line would be required
and the lines must be a minimum of 4 inches at the meters. Easements
would be required up to the meters.
'Mr. Henderson commented that ,by giving the easement in lieu
of the dedicated right-of-way needed for a lOO-foot 1/2 right-of-way
for McMullen-Booth'Road the developer would still be insuring that
the property would always be available for the road.
Discussion ensued, regarding the one acre needed and its bei~g
dedicated right-of-way or a right-of-way easement.
Mr. Campbell requested the developer supply him a tree survey
which also 'indicates the location of ,the proposed buildings. In
addition, he indicated the trees in Phase II and the ou~ parcels
should be retained and barricaded for protection durLtg the construc-
tion of Phase I.

Mr. Meerians suggested:
1., Elimination of the Island shown in the south access road
entering McMullen-Booth Road.
2. A left-tUrn lane to be constructed on Eastland Boulevard.

3. Site Plan approval of the out parcels to prevent
internal traffic problems.
Mr. Healey commented that a recommendation of approval of
this Site Plan would be a commitment to future commercial uses
when he felt even the presently indicated square footage for
commercial uses was in excess of what was economically justifi-
able. '
Mr. Henderson made a motion to recommend approval of the
Preliminary Site Plan with the following condition and note -
50' ROW easement to be granted to the City to make a total of
100 feet from center line of McMullen-Booth Road and to note
the Planning Department is not in agreement with the concept of
the 'out parcels.
Mr. Buhmeyer seconded to motion. The motion was passed
with dissenting votes by Mr. Kenton and Mr. Healey.

Mr. Henderson explained the City requires all drainage plans
be designed by a certified engineer but the County .1111 accept
drainage plans done by an architect. The 'construction of Phase I
will be started in the County. However, the plans will be reviewed
again by the City before Phase II is begun.
Mr. Paroby indicated he had prepared the letter to the County
which would enable the contractor to get a County Building Permit.
A motion was made to recommend approval of the Pre1imdnary
Site Plan subject to the dedication of the right-af-way. The
motion was seconded ~nd passed unanimously.
Cedar Hei~ts - located on the Northeast corner of Hercules
Avenue and Montclair Street' -' Agreernent,to Annex - Review of
Commun1ty' Impact Statement andlPrelimlnary' Subdivision ~l~t
Mr. Healey explained this property could not be annexed because
it would create an enclave.
Mr. Rettig stated the developer should tie into the existing
8-inch water line on the west side of Hercules Ave. The line should
be looped with no dead ends. The sewage would go to the lift station
to the north in Charter Oaks and then flow to the Marshall Street
Treatment Plant. The lines should not cross City property but ease-
ments will be required. '
Mr. Henderson stated the retention pond in the northeast corner
of the property would have to be platted into the adj acent lots and
the property owners made aware of their maintenance responsibilities.
The park shown in the southeast corner is approximately 150 feet
by 420 feet and Mr. Wilson indicated although the size is smaller than
usually accepted it would be acceptable for use as some type of
community building.
The Fire Marshall indicated an additional fire hydrant would
be required.
Mr. Kenton noted the 'environmental section of the CIS was
totally lacki~g.
Mr. Meerians stated the Traffic Engineering Department would
prefer the street go ~traight through from the Charter Oaks connection
to MOntclair Road.
The.need for sidewalks along Hercules Avenue and Montclair Street
was noted by the representative of the Building Department.
Mr. Paroby had no comments.
