development located on the eastern boundary of Southfork.This lies
north of his residence on University.Crow wishes to wait on dev-
elopment until plans are ready and then ask for voluntary annex-

written,motion by Foster,second by Steele.
Gary Smith presented plans for an office/retail complex south of
Highway 6 between 4th &6th Streets (west of car wash facility).
After reviewing plans and drawings,Pierce brought up concern over
traffic congestion (due to one access to Highway 6 and other access
to unpaved alley).Discussion then began on possibility of opening
5th Street from Laurel to alley or using part of alley west to 6th
St.No concensus was reached at this time but opening 5th St.did
not seem to members to be in the best interests of the City.

Munsterman then said that he believed that there wa a need to plat
this area because of the break-up of parcels.At this time,Jim
Berner did not feel it was required because it had not been divided
into more than 3 parcels.However,after receiving information that
this parcel.contained discrepencies in the lot lines,both north and
south of the alaley and that the alley was not actually in line with
its correct position,it was suggested that platting should take place.
Discussion then reverted to access problem.A second access was deemed
necessary_One option was to use access to west using all or part
of landowners property to create this access.After Smith asked City
to pave alley from 6th st to development,Redshaw noted that P &Z
Commission had no authority and only City Council has the ability
to grant approval for any such request.Bailey noted that City Council
would be meeting on Tuesday,April 24 and invited Smith to present
his request to Council.
Munsterman also explained concern over drainage.He noted that water
draining from south properties woul.d be directed to this detention
pond and should be directed to pass along edge of property and be divert-
ed away.
The Commission then went through concerns from Snyder one-by-one,
resulting in the following conclusions:
1.Legal descriptioin of property needs to be cleared up
2.Plat of this block should be undertaken (by filing SUbdivision
with county and City)
3.Access request or arrangement be presented to Council
4.Storm water management to be worked out in conjunction with
Jim Berner
Foster questioned amount of time needed to address these concerns.
It was decided that if these things could be worked out and Council
could act on Smiths proposals that a special meeting by P &Z could
be scheduled in 2 weeks (May 1,1990).
There being no further business,Casey motioned for adjournment with
second by Heskett.Unanimous vote.
Meeting was adjourned at 10:12 p.m.
