B. STREET REPAIR PRIORITIES
Mayor Bauder requested this item to be addressed before the subdivision ordinance. Tom Newman
presented the Public Works Dept.'s prioritized list of City streets needing repairs. After Haeckerville Rd.is
completed,he suggested using the remaining street repair funds to fix hazardous areas(like large potholes)
first,and then allowing the Public Works Superintendent to make as many of the remaining repairs as
possible during the rest of the fiscal year. Council agreed.
A. EXPANDED SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE
Tom Newman and Keith Gilbreath led the City Council and Planning&Zoning Commission through an
outline to set the general parameters that will form a skeleton for the-expanded ordinance. Once the
structure is established,the necessary details will be added to flesh it out. In each major area,the members
were encouraged to discuss and decide on the overall limits(i.e.,minimum and maximun lot size)that will,
in turn,guide the criteria and standards of subdivision features.
During the workshop,Council and P&Z members agreed on the following provisions. The new ordinance
will provide guidelines for large-lot subdivisions with exceptions to certain City requirements,under
specific circumstances,without need for variances,if they comply with the given standards. It will apply
within the city limits and ETJ,and require compatibility with the City Master Plan. It will require submittal
of plans for entire area to be developed,and the inclusion of transition zones. Application,process,and
approval procedures will remain the same. Subdivisions under the new ordinance will be at least 25 acres
2
_ v

in area,with a minimum lot size of 1 acre,a minimum 60-foot front property line,and 30'front setbacks,
30'rear setbacks,and 15' side setbacks. Streets will comply with current City widths and meet a 2.26
structural number standard.
After a long discussion of sewer and septic system implications,Gail Douglas suggested adjourning until
the next workshop on April 14, 1998. There was a general agreement by the members,and Bob Glisar
made the motion to adjourn.
