The meeting was called to order at 6:03 PM with Mayor Spencer

ITEM 1 - APPROVE WOODSTONE FINAL PLAT
Mr. Bill Lewis, Engineer for Terry L. Davis Companies, was pre-
sent and stated that the final plat meets all subdivision regu-
lations. Mr. Thompson recalled this is the same multi-family
where they requested it rezoned so they would not have to cross
a creek.
Mr. Thompson had been given a preliminary site plan by Mr. Bill
Lewis and he said it more or less alleviated the problem about
on-street parking but it presented another problem in that it
appears we have too large a percentage of land covered with
dwellings, although he felt sure they were. in compliance with
zoning regulations but there are 40 units of dwellings on 6.9
acres. Mr. Lewis commented that is less than half of what they
are allowed. Mr. Gorzeman said Mr. Lewis is correct, they are
allowed 90 plus units.
Mr. Wrestler commented he did not see a recreation area on the
map and Mr. Lewis replied when they first platted the Three
Lakes area they used six acres for park, just two blocks away
from this platted area.
Mrs. Fickle stated these are final plans only and site plans
will be submitted later. Mr. Thompson said this process seemed
to him to be putting the cart before the horse. Mr. Gorzeman
said it would cost a builder a lot of money it they did not re-
late to each other at the time the site plans are submitted.
Mr. Meyer suggested the site plan and plat be submitted togeth-
er. Mr. Gorzeman said the problem with that is the site plan
could change many times, even change hands. It will continue

to change as it is developed and he feels a developer needs
that option and flexibility.
Mr. Thompson reexpressed his concern about what he feels are
too narrow of streets. Mr. Spencer asked the average width of
streets and Bill Williams replied 26' is average. Mr. Gorzeman
suggested he could alert the TAC Committee that the City Coun-
cil is concerned with parking. Mr. Spencer said he knows it
shows very little parking but it meets requirements, so what
actually can be done about it. Mr. Gorzeman said we can spot
some of those problems when they review the site plan.
Motion was made by Robbie Fickle, seconded by Boyd Spencer, to
accept and approve bloodstone Final Plat per Planning Commission
and City Engineer's recommendations.

Mr. Thompson asked that it be made a part of the minutes that
the TAC Committee must very, very carefully look at the site
plan when it comes before them for approval and that they be
read the minutes of this meeting as well as the August 21,
1979, meeting, regarding the Council's apprehensions regarding
this particular plat.
