Mr. McCullough: The item on the agenda is the Parkview Manor Subdivision submitted
by Kaufman & Broad Dev. Corp and located on the East side of
Farmington Road approximately 175 ft. North of Rayburn and immediately South of Bell
Farm Subdivision approximately 2,000 ft. North of Five Mile Road in the Southwest
1/4 of Section 15.
Upon a motion duly made by Mr. Robinson and supported by Mr. Walker and unanimously
adopted, it was
#8=165-60 RESOLVED that, the City Planning Commission does hereby reaffirm its
previous denial contained in its Resolution #6-112-60 of the preliminary
plat for the proposed Parkview Manor Subdivision located in the Southwest
. 1/4 of Section 15 for the following reasons:
(1) The land encompassed by the said proposed plat is zoned RLA
which requires lots with a minimum of 9600 square feet each;
the lots indicated on the said proposed plat fail to comply
with this requirement; and
(2) The said proposed plat fails to show Myrna Street as an 86
foot wide right-of-way as required by the provision of the
Zoning Ordinance, Ordinance No. 60 and Part I of the Master
Plan, the so-called, "Master Thoroughfare Plan", and
(3) The topography of the land proposed to be platted makes the
same unsuitable for platting as proposed by the proprietor,
i.e. , the hilly nature of the land makes it likely that the
proposed intersection of Hampshire
etandon Farmington
bar ingtof the will
be an extremely dangerous int
limited sight distance for motor vehicles that would exist
if developed as proposed; and
(4) That Lots 56 through 60 and Lot 75 appear unuseable because
of an existing drain and front and rear yard requirements;
and
IL (5) That the plat fails to show or provide a marginal access road
along and adjacent to Farmington Road as required by Section
4.02 (n) of the Subdivision Rules and Regulations of the
Commission; and
(6) The proposed plat is entirely inharmonious with the character
•

of the surrounding development which composed largely of lots
even larger than 9600 square feet; and
(7) The petitioner failed to supply additional topographical information
relating to Outlot A as requested at the public hearing by
Commissioner William R. Robinson, and
The purpose of this resolution is to supplement previous Planning
Commission's Resolution #6-112-60 and shall in no event be construed
to have rescinded that resolution.
Mr. Angevine: The motion is carried and the foregoing resolution is adopted.
*Mr. Okerstrom arrived at approximately 8:10 p.m.
