'2 PR~.IMINARY PLAT APPROVAL FOR CASE OF ED EI.FMISH, '~ROTf BROOK ESTATES" It was noted that Trott Brook Estates was formerly called Ed Klemish Sketch Plan. Engineer P~atikka reviewed his report concerning this 'plat with the Commission. He noted that .a drainage easemmnt is shown but it is included as part of thru park land, therefore, the area available for park as shown on the prellm4nary plat is 1.5 acres or 5 percent of the gross area. Discussion was held regarding the Engineer's Report. 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.
