Mr. Gilmore said not to charge the developer the preliminary plat filing fee since this was only an improvement to the City drainage system. This would be our part in helping make these improvements. The road pavement surface will be forty-four feet in the existing sixty foot right-of-way. There are some problems with the County on this project, but the Staff is working these items out since they would not help support the project. Bob Andrews made a motion to approve the final plat. After a brief discussion, James Harden seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous in favor. #4 CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION: Final Plat Windy Meadows Subdivision with Variance Merwin Willman said the information submitted-for this project was not complete - there is no site plan, which he felt should be shown on the final plat. After a brief discussion, it was agreed this information was not needed on the plat. However, from the size of the area shown on the plat, it appeared the lot sizes were too small. Following are some items the Commission had agreed to in the past, but some were never voted on: - 8.3 maximum mobile home spaces per gross acre - fire extinguisher stations are not required - walkway will be required within the park - no need for paving and may be part of the utility easement - 36' x 95' minimum size of mobile home spaces - 20 feet between mobile homes - 10 foot front yard setback - trailer can be parked at an angle with 8 foot/ 12 foot ratio (this is only within the park streets) - off-street parking spaces will be paved a minimum size of 8' x 18' - 30 foot safety lanes with required off-street parking spaces A site plan is needed of the areas showing: - the number, location and size of all mobile home spaces - location, width and specifications of driveways, roadways and walkways - location and specifications of water and sewer lines and riser pipes - location and details of lighting, electrical and gas systems - location and specifications of all buildings constructed or to be constructed within the park - fire hydrant locations After discussion. about the proposed lot size and the width of mobile homes, Merwin Willman made a motion to disapprove. the final plat until the Commis- sion receives a site plan showing the information indicated above. Darwin Peek seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous in favor. Merwin Willman made a motion to disapprove the variance on-the l0 foot building setback lane along the East side of Oak Street. Oak Street will be a major route in the future, and the building setback is needed for adequate off-street parking. Bob Andrews seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous in favor. #5 CONSIDER AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION: Final Plat Schertz Modular Park Earl Hartzog advised the Commission that the City Staff still had not received the information required to approve the final plat. There were still a number of questions unanswered pertaining to development in the floodplain and floodway. The plans the Staff have received thus far have not been approved for various reasons. Bob Andrews made a motion to disapprove the final plat until City Staff had completed the review process of the construction plans. Darwin Peek seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous in favor. #6 CONSIDER AND P~AKE RECOMMENDATION: Special Exception to Zoning Ordinance - Autumn Winds Development Wayne Kinzel presented his proposed development and future plans for Autumn Winds home for the aged. His proposal was to expand the existing facilities in the future to accomodate 400 beds. Another area of the project would consist of Triplexes and Duplexes, and the remaining four acres of property would be developed as a five-story apartment complex for the aged, Earl Hartzog advised the Commission this would be a special exception to the ordinance which would require a Board of Adjustment action. (a) Height Restriction Darwin Peek made a motion to recommend approval of the height of 75 feet for the back four acres of this property. James Harden seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous in favor. (b) Parking Merwin Willman made a motion to recommend the complete site be considered an area for the aged, and the parking of one space for every four units, as indicated in the existing ordinance, be permitted as long as the property is used as a home for the aged or similar use. Bob Andrews seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous in favor. (c) Number of Units per Acre Bob Andrews made a motion to recommend approval of a density of 28 units per acre for the back four acres of this property with the understanding the three acres planned for Triplexes and Duplexes would be permitted the existing den- sity of 24 units per acre. The balance of the eleven acres (four) is a special project, and density is not an issue and number of units is controlled and approved by State Agencies for the use as a convalescent home for the-aged.
