PUBLIC HEARING - ENTERTAINMENT SUBDIVISION Bob Sanderson spoke regarding the application for preliminary platting of Entertainment Subdivision which will now be called Laurel Business Park Subdivision. A master plan for the remainder of Entertainment Subdivision was submitted. The far east lot has been sold to the greenhouse. The minimum lot size will be 1/2 acre, up to tracts as large as 3 acres. This is zoned Highway Commercial. The entire project will be done in phases, and this submittal includes only 5 lots, which is phase 1. The subdivision will be serviced by city water and sewer and storm drains. The streets will be paved. East Railroad will be widened, and the other streets within the subdivision will be commercial widths. The improvements will be covered in a private contract that will be secured with an irrevocable letter of credit naming the City of Laurel. This will guarantee that the funds will be in place before the final plat is filed. The traffic accessibility study for Entertainment Subdivision is being updated by Bob Marvin and Associates. It should be done within 10 days. The developer will participate financially in any area wide traffic improvements that may needed due to trafic this development creates. OPPONENTS: Bill Bernhart spoke regarding the fact that him regarding his irrigation ditch that subdivision. no one has contacted runs through this Cal states that nothing has changed in regards to what was originally promised to Mr. Bernhart regarding his ditches. Mr. Bernhart was satisfied with the explanation. The public hearing was closed. Larry McCann questioned how, if an SID was formed in this area, traffic impact would be assessed area wide, and he wants to make sure that some type of language is involved regarding this issue. Cal states that there could be some trigger points based on increased traffic volumes and the resulting need to build off-site improvements. Larry's other question was on storm water control. He'd like to see Laurel have an ordinance drafted that addresses that issue. At this time that issue cannot be addressed due to lack of ordinances. Mr. Sanderson states that they will control storm water runoff into the City's storm drain as much as possible in the proposed subdivision. He will work with the City on this. Question on whether or not there are enough fire hydrants? Larry states that there are enough for what is proposed and that fire code is being met. Cal recommends approval of this application subject to: 2 1) granting of variances they've requested, which are waivers of the requirement for alleys, sidewalks and street lights; 2) an updated traffic accessibility study, that will indicate traffic volume trigger points that the city can utilize for assessing off site improvement needs; 3) utility easements as requested by the utility companies, be granted; 4) the letter of credit be prepared for the cost of the improvements to the city, made out to the city; 5) the turn around be included in the letter of credit to allow the city to pave it after 3 years if the developers haven't proceeded with the next phase; and, 6) that the storm water runoff be restricted on-site as approved by the City Engineer. Motion by Miles Walton, second by Gerald Shay, to recommend approval of the Laurel Business Park Subdivision preliminary plat subject to the above five (5) conditions. Motion carried.
