with water backing up on the streets ending at this site.

rear yard set backs not being an issue since this would be the

to have a 6C' right-of-way and 43' pavement the same as Parkland
Village, Unit II. When the apartments on Live Oak Road were
platted there was no approved master plan for Nell Deane.
The increased cost for police, fire and SAFES would be covered
by.the taxes from the new property owners.
There was discussion on density, the additional traffic and the
impact it would have on the other subdivisions. It was noted
Live Oak Road was planned as the major access for this project.
Funds should be available in the near future for Live Oak Road,
improvements. There was a question on density and what was
considered high density. The Commission was advised the National
Health Advisory board requires that every person have 800 square
feet of space for health, safety, general welfare and morale.
This space can be smaller with proper air circulation and other
factors, which with the national average of 2.8 per household
the density is not too high.
There was discussion on the park area and noted the city is not
permitted to require developers to set aside an area for parks.
Just recently the `Commission questioned the area Horseshoe Oaks
developers were setting up fora park and the maintenance re=
sponsibility. The present parks are not being used by the
citizens and the present problem and cost of maintaining these
areas was discussed. It was agreed by the Commission that the
staff should ask the developer if he would set aside an_area as
a green belt or park in exchange for approval of his zoning
change request.
Cam Beauchemin made a motion to defer action by the Commission
until the staff finds out if the developer will dedicate an area
fora park. Lee Boswell seconded and the vote was unanimous in
favor.
