T0: Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: City Manager
SUBJECT: Subdivision Committee
DATE: December 19, 1975
At 3 P. M. on Thursday, December 18, 1975 the Subdivision Committee
met at City Hall to discuss necessary changes to the SubDivision
Regulations.
Those present were:
Ben Cunningham, Chairman
Henry Czech, Member
Richard Williams, Member
Robert Hopkins, City Manager
Harvey Nagel, Director of Community Development
The following changes were discussed;
1. City Council approval of preliminary plat
Under the existing regulations, the preliminary plat is not reviewed
by the City Council before final plat preparation is authorized.
The committee felt that it should.
The same is true for the improvement plans after review and
approval by the city engineer.
2. Parks and recreation sites (20-16(F))
Under the present regulations, a developer must dedicate 5%
of his site to parks or pay to the city a sum of money equal to five
percent of the value of the property for park purposes.
The committee debated the merits of this provision and decided
against any changes.
3. Curb and gutter (20-17(G)(7)(e) and 20=17(I)(3))
The present regulations require curb and gutter
The committee felt the provision should be amended to call for
curb and gutter when required by the City Council upon recommendation
of the Planning and Zoning Commission. This flexibility would allow
for drainage swales and similar natural drainage systems when
appropriate.

4. Water Main (20-17(H)(3))
