ELK HOLLOW SUBDIVISION 2ND FILING - PRELIMINARY PLAT:
Bill Van Horn, on behalf of Valley IV Inc., presented the preliminary
plat of Elk Hollow Subdivision 2nd Filing which proposes dividing 6.29
acres in Elk Ridge Addition into thirteen lots. Letters regarding the
preliminary plat were received from the following:
Light St Power Director ...... 12/05/80
Public Service Company ...... 12/08/80
Town Attorney....................................... . 12/08/80
State Highway Department ..... 12/10/80
Town Engineer/Planner..........................12/11/80
Bill Lamont....................................... . 12/08/80
Mr. Van Horn stated that the utility easements would be provided as
requested in the Light St Power Director's and Public Service Company's
letters. Considerable discussion followed as to whether or not Elk
Ridge Court should be extended to connect with University Drive. From
a planning point of view, the streets should be connected but due to
the physical terrain, the resulting street would have a 13-15% grade.
Mr. Van Horn indicated that an existing spring also poses problems in
developing a street. Members of the Planning Commission felt that a
visit to the site would increase their understanding of the factors
involved and, therefore, member George J. Hix moved the preliminary
plat of Elk Hollow Subdivision 2nd Filing be tabled in order to allow
the Planning Commission to visit the site. Member Houston seconded
the motion and it passed unanimously. Bill Van Horn agreed to mark
the proposed cul-de-sac area of Elk Ridge Court and the right-of-way
of University Drive abutting Elk Ridge Addition and to notify the
Planning Commission secretary when the markings are in.
