APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF SPECIAL CALL MEETING 6/24/2010.

A motion was made by Frances Cunningham and seconded by Rob Harrison to approve the minutes as presented for the special call meeting of June 24, 2010. Motion carried on voice vote.

PRELIMINARY PLAT-MAPLE GLENN/DORTON WOODS SUBDIVISION-HABITAT FOR HUMANITY (Developer)/TARE, Inc. (Engineer)

This is a preliminary plat for a 120 lot subdivision on approximately 60.15 acres, with approximately 11.8 acres as the remainder. Lots vary in size from approximately 7,000+ square feet to approximately 25,000 square feet. Topographical changes on the development range from approximately 1,880 feet to approximately 1,730 feet. Upon final completion, the City’s infrastructure would increase by approximately 5,900 feet of new roads, water, sewer, and 8 new fire hydrants.

This development borders the Obed River, Spiers Branch Creek, and Town Branch Creek. There is a 60 foot construction buffer on the Obed River and a 25 foot construction buffer on Spiers and Town creeks. These buffers are reflected in the “rear” setbacks of the properties that border the streams. Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat.

Rob Harrison made a motion to approve the preliminary plat. The motion was seconded by Earl Dean. Ayes (4) Dean, Cunningham, Harrison, and Burgess. Absent (3) Graham, Moser, and Mayberry.

The 11.8 acre remainder is under current negotiation to be deeded to the City of Crossville, which will be used as part of the “Greenway Project”. The majority of the 11.8 acres is located in a flood zone and falls within the required 25/60 foot construction buffer zone. There is also a 10 inch water line that is shown to run through a portion of the development. This is also under current negotiation for a cost share between the developers and the City of Crossville to relocate this water main.

Rob Harrison made a motion to recommend the City’s acceptance the 11.8 acres. The motion was seconded by Frances Cunningham. Motion carried on voice vote. A letter of recommendation will be drafted and submitted to City Council.

VARIANCE REQUEST-MOBILE HOME ORDINANCE

Theda Holbrook is requesting a recommendation for a waiver of the Mobile Home Ordinance. A waiver is needed due to the mobile home being manufactured over 10 years ago. Ms. Holbrook owns the mobile home and is living in it outside of the City limits. She wishes to move into the City and has purchased a piece of property located at 130 Bilbrey Street. The staff met with Ms. Holbrook and examined the pictures she provided of the mobile home. Staff recommends approval of the variance and asks the Crossville Regional Planning Commission to write a letter to the City Council indicating the request for a waiver.

Municipal Code 14-402, Regulations for placement of mobile homes on standard lot or parcel. One (1) mobile home may be placed on a lot or parcel that is not part of a mobile home park or mobile home subdivision under the following conditions:

(a) the mobile home is new or no more than ten (10) years old

(b) the mobile home may be single-wide or double-wide

The variance request is in reference to 14-402 (a). Ms. Holbrook’s mobile home was manufactured in 1998, making it 12 years old.

A motion was made by Rob Harrison to approve her request and seconded by Frances Cunningham. Motion carried on voice vote.
