1. PROPOSED PREI,IMINARY PLAT: P.S. ��`69-09 MIKE 0'BANNON: Lots 11, 12, 13 and
South 390 feet of Lot 14, Auditor's Subdivision ��22, and S'� of Lot 6, all of
Lots 7 through 16, and Lots 24, 25 and 26, Block 1, Irvington Addition.
The petitioner, Mike 0'Bannon, explained his sketch of the plat which,
basically, followed the tentative plan of the Rice Creek Road/Central Avenue
Street Study. He said that he showed all the adjacent neighbors, except
Rev. Henderson because of lack of interest, the proposed plat. There are
three people involved in the platting, Mr. 0'Bannon, John Carroll and James
Skog. The cul de sac is in the center of the Skog property and ends there
because the people to the West were not ready to plat at this time, but the
cul de sac is situated so that the road can be extended when these people
wish to develop. It was noted water and sewer was on Rice Creek Road, but
Mr. 0'Bannon plans using Comstock & Davis for putting in the sewer and
water in the plat. Mr. 0'Bannon said that, before the streets are paved,
next spring he would put the sewer in and block up the manholes. There
appeared to be no difficulty regarding the description of the land, no prob-
lem about zoning because it is all R-1, street dedications are on the survey,
and utilities are available. Mr. 0'Bannon was asked to consider underground
utilities.
MOTION by Crowder, seconded by Zeglen, that the Plats & Subdivisions-
Streets & Utilities Subco�ittee recommend approval to the Planning Commis-
sion of the preliminary plat, P.S. ��69-09, Mike 0!Ban�aon, of Lots 11, 12 and
13 and South 390 feet of Lot 14, Auditor's Subdivision �i�22, and S'� of Lot 6,
all of Lots 7 through 16, and Lots 24, 25 and 26, Block 1, Irvington Addi-
tion, as described on the May, 1969 drawing and presented to this Body. Upon
a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
2. LOT SPLIT REQUEST: L.S. ��69-18, L GEORGE WELLS• East 12 feet of North
100 feet of Lot 8C, 2nd Revision Auditor's Subdivision �i�21.
Mr. and Mrs. Wells were present.
Mr. Wells explained the reason for the petition was that they were
going to put Lot 8C on the market, and according to the position of their
house on Lot 8A, they would face the backyard of the neighbor. They would
have Lot 8B for their backyard and have no plans for using it for a building
site.

Plats & Subs.-Str. & Utilities Subc. Mt .- Jul 2 1969 p$ e 2
Mr. Wells was asked to have a legal description prepared for the Plan-
ning Commission of both parcels. Z'he certificate of.survey should be ready
for Council. The Subcommittee studied the whole area noting that the Easterly
portion of Lots 8, 8A and 8B, together with the Westerly portion of the
abutting lots of Brookview Second Addition, would have no street access if
they should be split for buildable lots. However, the size of the lots is
not sufficient to split and give necessary road easement and still maintain
a standard lot depth of 100 feet. This problem should be called to the
attention of the Planning Commission.
MOTION by Batterson, seconded by Crowder, that the Plats & Subdivisions-
Streets & Utilities Subcommittee recommend approval to the Planning Commission
of the Lot Split, L.S. ��69-18, L. George Wells of the �ast 12 feet of the
North 100 feet of Lot 8C, 2nd Revision Auditor's Subdivision ��21, subject
to a legal description of the proposed split. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, the motion carried unanimously.
3. PROPOSED PRELIMINARY PLAT: P.S. �'�69-10 GALLAGHER ADDITION WILLIAM H.
GALLAGHER: West 5 acres of NW� of SE�, except South 4 acres, Christie
Addition.
Mr. and Mrs. Gallagher were present.
Mr. Gallagher said his house and garage face Mississippi Street. The
proposed plat consisted of three lots, two facing Mississippi and the third
at the back of the property would face 7th Street. The back lot, although
it was low, was buildable without fill in the opinion of Mr. Gallagher
inasmuch as they never had water in the basement. It was felt the setbacks
were adequate, the square footage of the lots was O.K. There was a pole
which would be on a lot line that would have to be removed. As far as
easements were concerned, the Subconsnittee felt there was no problem at the
North end, but the easement situation at the South end should be checked, as
there is a 30 foot jog on 7th Street.
MOTION by Crowder, seconded by Zeglen, that the Plats & Subdivisions-
Streets & Utilities SubcoIInnittee reco�end to the Planning Commission approval
of the preliminary plat, P.S. ��69-10, Gallagher Addition, William H. Gallagher,
of the West 5 acres of the NW� of the SE�, except the South 4 acres, Christie
Addition, calling attention to the rather unclear situation of road easements
along the 7th Street edge of the property. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
the motion carried unanimously.
4. LOT SPLIT REQUEST: L.S. ��69-19, NORTH AIR HOME ASSOCIATION, J R PLEMEL:
South 150 feet of Lot 18, Brookview Addition subject to road easement over
South 50 feet.
No one was present representing the petition.
The Subco�ittee felt this would be a logical extension of the property
of the Knights of Columbus to be used as a parking lot. Mr. Zeglen mentioned
that this was swamp land. The Subcommittee wished more information about
the amount of land purchased. Although it was purchased for a parking lot,
the SubcoBUnittee felt that by adding more land to the North, a buildable
lot would be obtained, and if in the future, they wished to tear up the
w •

parking lot, they could build. This would also make the entire piece R-3,
and the parking lot could be obtained by a special use permit. The Subcom-
mittee felt they needed a discussion with the representative of the North
Air Home Association.
MOTION by Crowder, seconded by Zeglen, that the Plats & Subdivisions-
Streets and Utilities Subco�ittee continue the Lot Split request, L.S. ��69-19,
North Air Home Association, J. R. Plemel, of the South 150 feet of Lot 18,
Brookview Addition, subject to road easement over the South 50 feet, until
the next meeting. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried
unanimously.
