MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION AUGUST 8, 2002 PRELIMINARY PLAT — THE PRESERVE equipment at this location as has been presented by and agreed to by Mr. John Seibel. Motion seconded by Barraclough. Motion carried 6 — 0. Mr. Kevin Von Reidel, Dayspring Development, appeared before the Commission to present the Preliminary Plat of The Preserve for the Palma') property located east of McMenerny Road and north of Viking Drive. Von Reidel noted that the preliminary plat consists of 17 single - family lots and is consistent with the R- I zoning of the property. There are no variances being requested. Von Reidel reported that they have redesigned some factors with regard to the plat in response to the reviews done by the City Planner and the City Engineer. Those redesign elements will be presented this evening. Von Reidel noted that the plat includes two storm water holding ponds that have been designed for a 100 -year event. The placement of these ponds have been reviewed and approved by the Watershed District. Von Reidel indicated that they have located as much of the Williams Pipeline easement on the preliminary plat as was possible at this point. He noted that there is no pavement or filling proposed over the pipelines other than at the location of the road connection (Preserve Trail) to Viking Drive. Von Reidel noted that the closest point the pavement for Preserve Court is from the pipeline is 15 Peet. Von Reidel indicated that it is their understanding that Williams Pipeline will review the proposed development and will indicate what can be done and what cannot. Duray asked if any of the development was within the easement. Jeff McDonald, representing the developer, described the specifics of the easement as shown on the plat, as well as noted that there is a blanket easement for Williams Pipeline that runs through the area. McDonald explained that Williams Pipeline will review the development proposal and will provide specifics as far as what can and cannot be done. McDonald noted that there are three pipelines running through this area One is a 12 -inch line and two are 6 -inch lines. Only the 12 -inch line is active. While Williams knows the location of the 12 -inch line, there are certain areas where they are uncertain as to its depth. Any construction in these areas will have to be hand -dug and the pipe physically located. With regard to the two 6 -inch inactive pipes, McDonald noted that Williams has the specific location for about 50% of those two pipes.
