APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 15, 2011

 

A motion was made by Mayor Graham and seconded by Rob Harrison to approve the minutes as presented for the regular meeting September 15, 2011.  Motion carried on voice vote. 

 

COMBINED PLAT-HEIRS OF K.B. GRIFFIN PROPERTY-ROBERT PATTON, DEVELOPER/O.D. PUGH, SURVEYOR

 

This is a small combined subdivision consisting of 3 lots, located on West Avenue at the intersection of Tenth Street.  There is an existing building on the property to be lot 2.  It is exempt from the setback requirements.  There is a gravity sewer line with a 20 foot easement crossing a portion of lot 1, as well as a drainage way.  The drainage was inspected by the City’s storm water staff and a recommendation of a 40 foot easement (20’ to each side of centerline) was recommended. 

 

Mayor Graham made a motion to grant the approval of the subdivision subject to the following corrections:

 

  • Line labeled as an 8” water line on Tenth Street is a gravity sewer line
  • Missing 10” water line along the southern ROW of West Avenue
  • Need a legend item for the representation of manholes
  • Line that should be the gravity sewer line crossing the property appears to be the line for a 4” water line and not the representation of a gravity sewer line.  This also applies to the line for the gravity sewer line on West Avenue.
  • 4” water line shown on West Avenue is the line representation of the gravity sewer line

 

5 Ayes (Burgess, Cunningham, Graham, Poore, and Moser).  Abstain (Rob Harrison) Absent (Councilman Dean).  Motion carried. 

 

VARIANCE REQUEST-LOUIS MORRISON PROPERTY/DION AULT, SURVEYOR

 

Mr. Morrison is requesting setback variances off Brook Street and Hickory Lane.  Both of these roads are local city streets and have a 30 foot setback.  There is a city gravity sewer line that bisects the property, as well as a natural drain which runs along the back of the property to Town Branch Creek.  The build able area of the lot is greatly reduced due to a 12 foot utility easement off the sewer line, a 20 foot easement on the drain, and a 25 foot storm water buffer along Town Branch. 

 

Variances:

 

·        28 foot variance on Hickory Lane-30 foot ROW (leaving a 2 foot setback from edge of ROW)

·        7 foot variance on Brook Street-50 foot ROW (leaving a 23 foot setback from the edge of ROW)

 

Rob Harrison made a motion to grant the variance requests based on topography.  Mike Moser seconded the motion. 

 

6 Ayes (Burgess, Cunningham, Graham, Harrison, Poore, and Moser).  Absent (Councilman Dean).  Motion carried. 

 

PLAN OF SERVICES FOR ANNEXATION-PEAVINE ROAD (TAX MAP 88, PARCEL 60.02/60.04)

 

Mayor Graham made a motion to accept the plan of services as presented.  The motion was seconded by Mike Moser.  Motion carried on voice vote. 

 

NORTHWEST CONNECTOR RESOLUTION

 

Rob Harrison made a motion that, in regards to the Northwest Connector Section 1:

·        all developments and plans for roads connecting to the Northwest Connector must be reviewed and approved by the Crossville Regional Planning Commission; and

·        deed exhibits of affected property owners must show that all controlled access openings are permanent and may not be closed or removed; and

·        any future development will include a standard street that meets the criteria of a city collector street.

 

The motion was seconded by Frances Cunningham and the motion carried on voice vote.
