Location: Extension of Willowglen Drive
Applicant: Faust Engineering & Surveying, Inc.
Planning Commission
October 18, 2010
Mr. Richardson presented the staff report. The subject property is south of
Washington and east of Wooten.
Wooten Oaks, Phase 2 is a 4.3 acre, 19 lot single family residential subdivision.
This same replat was approved in June, 2007. However, it was never built and the
preliminary plat expired.
The applicant is requesting a waiver to the sidewalk requirement. When Phase I
was constructed, sidewalks were not required and none were built. However, there
is the possibility for a Phase 3, which when combined with Phase 2, will provide an
ample number of sidewalks for use by the residents.
Mr. Richardson recommended approval subject to the following conditions:
• Need proof of payment for five street lights and poles.
• Design curb inlets to 10 year frequency.
• Show 100-year frequency analysis of hydrological grade lines.
• Water services need to be shown S foot to the right of center of the lot.
• Extend the 6" water main to cul-de-sac and then run a 2" water line around
cul-de-sac.
• The 8" x 6" reducer will not be necessary on Oak Dale. The City will make
a tap on the existing 8" water main with an 8" x 6" tapping saddle.
and with a denial of the waiver of the sidewalk requirement.
Seven notices were mailed to property owners within 200 feet and within the same
subdivision. One response in favor and none in opposition were returned.
Slides of the subject property were shown.
Vice -Chairman Gibbs opened the public hearing and asked for the applicant's
comments.
Richard Faust addressed the Commission.
Vice -Chairman Gibbs asked for comments in favor or in opposition. None were

Block 6, Wescalder Fig Acres into Wooten Oaks Addition, Phase 2 subject to the

Planning Commission
October 18.2010
Water services need to be shown 5 foot to the right of center of the lot.
Extend the 6" water main to cul-de-sac and then run a 2" water line around
cul-de-sac.
The 8" x 6" reducer will not be necessary on Oak Dale. The City will make
a tap on the existing 8" water main with an 8" x 6" tapping saddle.
and with a denial of the waiver of the sidewalk requirement.
Commissioner Mason seconded the motion. Motion carried 6:0.
2) Replat - Lots 9A - 9C Block 21 McFaddin Second Addition: Request for a replat
of Lot 9, Block 21, McFaddin Second Addition into Lots 9A-9C, Block 21,
McFaddin Second Addition.
Location: 1775-1785 North Street and 665 First Street
Applicant: Faust Engineering & Surveying, Inc.
Mr. Richardson presented the staffreport. Three houses currently sit on the subj ect
property. The owner of the property is moving out of state and would like to sell
the houses individually. The house on Lot 9C extends into the alley by 6.46'. The
applicant has applied for a license to encroach.
Water Utilities has reviewed this replat and have found the following:
It appears that the sanitary sewer services for the proposed Lots 9A and 9B will
cross Lot 9C. It is also likely that the sanitary sewer service for Lot 9B is located
under the house on Lot 9C. Approval of the replat in its current form will likely
create future issues for the future sale of these lots.
Water Utilities offers two options:
Create a private sanitary sewer service easement for Lots 9A and 9B across
Lot 9C. For example, the easement for 9A can run along the west boundary
line of OC and the easement for 9B can run along the east boundary line for
9C. In doing so, the Owner will be responsible for locating the sewer
services to within those easements.
Create a private sanitary sewer service easement for Lot 9A across the
south portion of Lot 9B. The City can run a sanitary sewer main north from
the alley a distance of approximately 60 feet. This will allow the Owner to
tie the sanitary sewer services to a new main on First St. The City can
extend this main at no cost to the Owner. The Owner will be responsible
for relocating the sewer services to within the easements.
Mr. Richardson recommended approval subject to City Council approving a license
to encroach, satisfying Water Utilities with sanitary sewer services and the various
variances as spelled out in the staff report.

Planning Commission
October 18, 2010
Since then, Mr. Richardson said that he received additional comments fi om the fire
department, water utilities and Entergy.
The fire department states that the abandonment would increase response times by
fire units responding from Station 3, located at 805 Woodrow, to the areas east of
Rolf Christopher. An option short of complete closure is preferred.
Water Utilities states that the right-of-way will need to be retained as an easement
and no structures or appurtenances shall be placed within the easement property.
Entergy states that an easement must be retained and a letter must be submitted
from the City instructing Entergy to discontinue billing for the lights and to remove
