SKETCH PLAN REVIEW, PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION OF PROPERTY LOCATED
ALONG Tnr-NORTH SIDE OF PIONEER TRAIL, i MILE WEST OF~REAT PLAINS BLVD.:
The applicants are-fequesting approval to-crea~our separate parcels to
provide for the dissolution of an existing partnership with potential for
the future resubdivision of the entire tract into 18 rural residential
lots. The property contains 55.3 acres. The Planning Commission recom-
mended that JCB Partnership proceed to the Preliminary Plat stage for
their proposed subdivision. The applicant should work closely with City
Staff and affected referral agencies to insure that the transportation
issues identified by all parties are adequately addressed in the prelimi-
nary plat. The applicant should also redesign the lot layouts along the
bluff line to insure that adequate area is available on the hilltop for
septic systems and building sites.
Mayor Hamilton - Does the drainage on that property create a problem for
the residents who are to the east of that property and already have a
drainage problem?

Bill Monk - What we would do in any rural subdivision would be to maintain
existrng-drainage patterns and the proposal to put this into four lots
would not appreciably alter the drainage pattern. I have not looked to
see exactly where the water goes. I had assumed it would find its way
south under Pioneer Trail. If the amount of water were increased tremen-
dously we would look to on-site detention or retention of some type so
that we would not cause a problem off-site but with the proposal of just
four lots, I don't see a major impact in the area.
Herb Baldwin, representing JCB Partnership, Bob Hendrickson and Bob Modeen
were present.
Councilman Horn moved approval of the sketch plan review for the JCB
Partnership property. Motion seconded by Mayor Hamilton. The following
voted in favor: Mayor Hamilton, Councilwomen Watson and Swenson,
Councilmen Horn and Geving. No negative votes. Motion carried.

SYNOPSIS OF PENDING OR UNFINISHED PLANNING CASES:
Councilwoman Swenson~ I note that we have quite a few that go back for
quite a while. Do we not have a time limitation on these approved
developments? I think I would like to, on a blanket basis, just notify
all these people that their year or two year period is up.
Scott Martin - It depends on the type of application. A variance is good
for a year year. A preliminary plat is good for a year. A final plat is
good for two years. A PUD is reviewed annually. It's all different.
Councilwoman Swenson - We have got development approvals, we have got pre-
liminary plat approvals here and we have got a couple of preliminary plats
that go back to 1981.
Bill Monk - I asked Bob to go back in his memory as far as he could
because we don't have anybody on our staff to rely onfor history on a lot
of these things anymore. It's just like on Western Hills 3rd, the deve-
loper was in on that again and was told he would have to go through the
process again because his two years was up.
Councilwoman Swenson - I think we should save this record.
Scott Martin - I am using this for reference to make sure that if there is
something pending on something as we get inquiries on it that I am aware
of it.
