Gerry Zin~ne~ voted naye because he is opposed to the roadway, he feels the roadway Should be located on the north side of the property to minimize access points onto County Road No. 5. It was-noted that Trott Brook Estates was formerly called Ed Klemish Sketch Plan. Engineer P~at~ reviewed his report concerning this plat with the Cor~,~ssion. Ha noted that a drainage easen~nt is shown but it is included as part of thru park land, therefore, tam area available for park as shown on the prel~dnmry plat is 1.5 'acres or 5 percent of the gross area. Discussion was held regarding the Engineer's Raport. The P & Z Conmission feels .it would'be to the city's advantage to grant a variance to Item No. 4 regarding the cul de sacs because it is necessary for natural extension of the streets in the future.
