for 30'rear yard.Developer is taking 8.5 ft off lots 8 &9 to add
to add to 5 &6 to make more desirable.Pierce reported that according
to code lots meet 30"rear yard requirement.
Foster brought up concern over public access to land designated as
park.Accesses were to be provided for in plats but with nothing
developed,these accesses may be creating problems when time to take
from a landowner who has landscaped property or may not be aware of
easement.
One access is indicated on storm sewer easement but because of steep
grade may not be useable.One urggestion was to have an access
between lots 18 &19 on cul-de-sac.No action taken.

present plans.Recommended to Pierce to address concerns or problems

preparing building plans to meet codes.Mr Stark said that plans

wood Acres.This is 54.5 acres along &East of R-22 &along &north
of Ashworth Road (F-64)south of Waukee.Lauterbach &Cynthia Bik
expressed objection to city request for a 300'easement along Sugar
Creek for utilities and possible greenbelt.Objections centered around
need for 300'for easement (thought it was to wide)and greenbelt
plans for a walkway or bike path.Neither resident wanted back yard of
their property opened to pUblic use.Easement for sewer &utilities
would be acceptable but not with a 300'width.Commission members
requested Mr.Lautenbach to have his engineer come up with a drawing
showing flood plain of 100 year-flood.Mr.Wearmouth pointed out that
even if city would not ask for easement that people would still go
into this area as development of this area continues.City would then
not be able to patrol or restrict use by public.Residents claimed
they wanted private natural area with no public access to creek.
