• Planning & Zoning Board November 14, 2001 Page 5 Ms. Lane asked if he would prefer the 33 -foot easement, instead of the 66 -foot easement. Mr. Racutt replied he would like a private drive and the neighbors to the east (1196 Main St.) wanted their own driveway. Mr. Powell stated when he had spoken with that property owner, they were concerned about having to put a new driveway out to Main Street and the driveway they had been using over the years would be blocked off. Chair Schaps asked how would the neighbors get out of their property if they were landlocked. Mr. Smyser replied that was a concern the neighbors had that they would not be able to get out onto Main Street. Chair Schaps stated it appeared this needed further work. Mr. Smyser stated with the 66- foot dedication and 33 -foot dedication was acceptable. Mr. Corson stated it appeared the issue was a 33 -foot or 66 -foot easement. Mr. Smyser replied that was correct. Mr. Corson made a MOTION to approve the request of Willard Morton, 7930 Lake Drive, Minor Subdivision, subject to the following conditions: • 1. A road easement shall be dedicated to the City that includes the 66' x 597' northern parcel and the eastern 33 feet of the southern, 11 -acre portion. • 2. Park dedication of $1,665.00. The motion was supported by Ms. Lane. Motion carried 6 -0. VI. DISCUSSION ITEMS A. Lighting at Shirley Kaye's Staff explained since the re- opening of Shirley Kayes, the Police Department had noted that the parking lot was very dark. There was no exterior lighting proposed except fixtures on the building. Staff stated that during the review of the project, there was concern about bright lights on the lake. Since there were only the building fixtures, there was not a problem. Staff explained during construction, a contractor called to ask what kind of lights would be allowed in the parking lot. Since no lighting was proposed or reviewed, and there was concern about lights on the lake, staff said there was to be no lighting in the lot. Staff stated the question of safety arose from the dark parking lot. The Environmental Board discussed this and recommended that if lighting was added, the City ensured it shined down and doesn't bleed onto neighboring properties or the lake.
