1. LOT SPLIT REQUEST: L.S. �1�70-08, FREDERICK A. SKOG: Ten feet of Lot 17
to be added to Lot 18, Block 2, Parkview Oaks lst Addition.
Mr. Skog was present and explained that for seven years now, the "sharp
cliff", belonging to his neighbor, and partly behind the garage, has been
unimproved. There are rocks in the grass so that it can't be mowed. His
neighbor, Mr. Harris, said he would give him ten feet of this area. Mr. Skog's
garage is 3z feet from the South property, which was a mistake when the house
was built. If he had the ten feet, he would make good use of the extra land
for patio, and other recreational purposes. Mr. Skog said his neighbor`s
house was probably 4 or 5 feet higher than his garage level. The whole area
is on a hi11. There is a drainage easement North/South and East/West. The
gully to the South is sodded for drainage but when water comes down from
the hill, the dirt comes with it.
The Engineering Assistant said that he felt if the two neighbors could
divide the property up, as far as the City is concerned, there would be no
objection. The easement would still be there the same as it is now. The
description would be simple "the North 10 feet of Lot 17".
MOTION by Crowder, seconded by Zeglen, that the Plats & Subdivisions-
Streets & Utilities Subcommittee recommend approval to the Planning Commission
of the Lot Sp1it request, L.S. #70-08, by Frederick A. Skog for the North 10
feet of Lot 17, to be added to Lot 18, B1ock 2, Parkview Oaks lst Addition.
Upon a voice vote, aIl voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
2. LOT SPLIT REQUEST: L.S. ��70-09, WENDELL ELLIOTT: South 20 feet of Lot 1,
Block 1, Sandhurst Addition deeded to Lot 2.
Mrs. Wendell Elliott was present.
The Engineering Assistant said that the two lot splits were similar, except
in this case, the land had already been deeded. The petitioner is the person
who sold the 20 feet. The reason for the lot split request is to make the
transaction legal because a new street is being built and Mr. Elliott does
not wish to pay for the special assessments. Mr. Elliott owns Lot 1 and all
the Subcommittee is concerned with is that he has sold off 20 feet. Referring
.: �lats & Suhs.-Str. & Util. Subcommittee June 17 1970 Pa e 2
to the drawing on Page 5 of the Agenda, Darrel Clark said that in subsequent
years, there has been other lot splits over a period of 10 years. On four lots,
five homes have been built.
Mrs. Elliott said there was approximately 52 feet between the houses, 20
feet between Mr. Sampson's garage and the new line and something around 40 feet
between their house and the new lot line.
MOTIQN by Zeglen, seconded by Crowder� that the Plats & Subdivisions-
Streets & Utilities Subcommittee recommend approval to the Planning Commission
of the Lot Sp1it request, L.S. #70-09, by WendelZ G. Elliott, splitting off
fhe South 20 feet of Lot 1, Block 1, Sandhurst Addition to be added to Lot 2,
BZock 1, Sandhurst Addition. Upon a voice vote, a1Z voting aye, the motion

3. PROPOSED PRELIMINARY PLAT: P.S. ��70-01, ROGER M. JONES: Part of the SW4
of the NW1� of Section 2 for golf driving range - M-2 zoning.
Mr. A1 Davies, Mr. Fred E. Jones and Mr. Roger M. Jones were present to
discuss the petition.
The Engineering Assistant stated that last fall �r. Jones �ixst �roposed the
golf driving range. The land was purchased under an agreement tha.t he would
get a Special Use Permit for a driving range. The permit was processed through
the Board of Appeals and Council approved subject to the dedication of 30 feet
for 81st Avenue, also the Easterly 30 feet for Main Street and also a 50 foot
looped service drive across the Easterly edge which is adjacent to University
Avenue.Because this would be a very long description, Mr. Jones agreed to
plat and record it prior to some time this early fall. At this time he will
be platting the South 400 feet of the Southwest Quarter of the Northwest
Quarter and put up a temporary type building on the East side of the service
drive. He has a three year agreement with the opportunity of renewing unless
the area begins to develop.
Referring to the loopback at the Southeast corner of the proposed plat,
this is back from the highway to give more room for traffic. It was brought
up that this would give another site for a filling station, however, it ia 1.3
Acres and would not necessarily have to be a filling station. The plat and
the area around it was zoned heavy industrial.
Speaking of roads, Darrel Clark said that there was no reason to build a
road until the land is developed, but when one is built, it will be 9 Ton
design.
Mr. Fred Jones said that the golf driving range was something they hoped
would support the cost of the property until industry would build. They were
contract purchasers of the property.
Mr. Crowder asked if Mr. Jones could provide an entrance to University
Avenue. Darrel Clark answered the Highway Department has built an approach
and it is blacktopped goint to the property line at 81st Avenue. The street
pattern lines up with those in East Ranch Estates 2nd Addition which is to the
South of 79th Avenue. North of 85th Avenue, there is land being purchased by
the City for Open Space.

The Subcommittee felt they would like the absent member pass on this request,
and because they received the information when they arrived for the meeting,
they would like more time to study.
MOTION by Crowder, seconded by Zeglen, that the Plats & Subdivisions-Streets
& UtiZities Subcommittee table to the July 8, 1970 meeting the proposed prelim-
inary plat, P.S. #70-Olm by Roger M. Jones for part of the Southwest Quarter
of the Northwest Quarter of Section 2 for a gold driving range. Upon a voice
vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
