1. Staff presentation
Ms. Roberts gave the staff presentation. She said the plat met all requirements for plats and
recommended approval. Mr. Harvey said the addition of the through-street balances out the traffic, and
the Commission likes that design from a point of safety. He said they also like what was done to reduce
the water on the Corry Edward side and on the 3`d St side. He asked the engineer to describe what was
done to mitigate the water.
Ryan Hill said a development is only required to detain up to the existing conditions runoff, only whatever
the developer is releasing. He said the development carved off the water going onto 3`d St so that what is
going south is less than before. He said the detention pond will detain the off-site drainage coming from
the south, that 34 cubic feet per second is what's going there now, and 34 cubic feet per second is what
is proposed after. He said the development is meeting all city criteria.
2.Applicant presentation
Adlai Pennington, 1375 Gilman Rd, said his engineers had been working with the city staff and engineers
for over a year. He said all the engineering studies indicate the water flow will not increase.
3. Public hearing
Lana Sather, 421 & 423 Corry A Edwards, spoke to the Commission against the replat. She asked that
the developer be required to build a 10-foot masonry wall and stated the drainage is a concern.
Phil Head, 524 3`d St, addressed the Commission against the replat, with concerns about grading and
erosion control.
Vinita Thomas, 420 3`d St, said the drainage is a problem.
Mr. Harvey closed the asked if there was anyone else to speak. Mr. Harvey closed the public hearing.
4. Applicant response
Mr. Pennington said the drainage issue had been brought to their attention and that there will be a crew
working on the erosion control the next day. He said the grading is not complete.
5. Staff response and summary
Ms. Roberts said the Public Works Department staff has noted the grading and erosion fence complaints
and have asked this to be corrected.
6. Action by the Planning &Zoning Commission
Mr. Pugh made the motion to approve as presented. Mr. Adams seconded the motion. Mr. Harvey gave a
brief summary of this case history, that about a year and a half ago, the Commission had been presented
with this case, which had been originally platted 50 years ago. He said they looked at how the drainage
issues that are there could be mitigated, because this was already an approved plat, so the developer
could have developed it as it was, and there would still be traffic problems because it had one entrance,
there was a cul-de-sac that didn't meet code, and the water conditions still existed on 3`d St. He said the
engineering says efforts are being made to reduce the impact. He said at the platting stage, there are
state regulations that say if the plat meets the city's requirements, the approval is almost automatic. He
said the plat is complying with the regulations, and the Commission has to vote on it and pass it.
Mr. Harvey then called for the vote. The motion passed with five in favor and Mr. Browne opposed, with
Mr. Harvey abstaining.

Article 6 Commercial and Industrial District, Article 7 Employment Center Districts, and Article 11
Specific Use Requirements to establish regulations for mobile food vendors, including permitted
locations, hours of operations, proximity to single-family residential districts and schools, and
permit requirements.
Ms. Roberts stated that she had received substantive comments on the ordinance from the attorneys that
afternoon, and she had not had time to make the suggested revisions and did not have a revised
ordinance for the Commission to review. She recommended postponing the consideration of the
ordinance until a later date.
Mr. Pirtle made a motion to postpone the case until the April Planning &Zoning Commission meeting, Mr.
Pugh seconded, and the motion passed with all in favor except with Mr. Harvey, who abstained.
