The submittal was prepared by John Oliver and Associates and had a revision <br />date of June 14, 1996. It contained a preliminary plat, preliminary grading plan, and a <br />preliminary utility plan. Based on our review, we would offer the following comments: <br /> <br />A. PRELIMINARY PLAT <br /> <br />The preliminary plat contains Outlot A along Macon Street and Riverview <br />Drive. These areas are proposed to be platted into single family lots when <br />Macon and Riverview Drive are upgraded and utilities constructed. We <br />believe the preliminary plat should show the lots in these areas such that, <br />when the street and utility projects move forward, all that has to be done <br />is for Outlot A to be final platted. <br /> <br />Lot 7, Block 2, is a comer lot and should be 100 feet. <br /> <br />Lot 3, Block 3, is also a comer lot and it is questionable whether the 100 <br />feet of width is provided for. <br /> <br />At the north and south ends of Kent Street, there are eyebrow cul-de-sacs <br />proposed. These cul-de-sacs are not specifically precluded by the City <br />ordinance; however, from a maintenance standpoint they are undesirable. <br />If there is some other way of configuring the lots and eliminating the <br />eyebrow cul-de-sacs, we would recommend it. <br /> <br />230/314-2005.jun An Equal Opportunity Employer <br /> <br /> <br />
