which will take the drainage over too interstate 480. Once the plans are submitted, they will be submitted to the Department of Transportation for their permission to use their drainage system. If the Department of Transportation does not approve the plans, it will be up to the developer to come up with an acceptable system such as a larger pipe or pump. The developer wants to bypass the existing system and go directly into interstate 480, which would have no effect on the other residents. Ms. Schroder suggested five new houses would mean an increase in the amount of cars parking on the street. There are already a lot of cars ` that park in the street and she is worried about emergency vehicles being able to get down the street and turn around. Mr. Koeth indicated there is a rule that all the streets have to be cleared of cars at night. Ms. Schroder indicated the extra cars have been parking on the empty lot. Mr. Lang, a resident, who lives on Kennedy Ridge, reiterated what Ms. Schroder had just said about cars parking on the street. He would also like the Planning Commission to make a specific note that there are not any storm sewers on Kennedy Ridge, he drains right into the ground. He suggested there were only sanitary sewers, the storm sewers are the ones O.D.O.T. put in when they built interstate 480. He would like it stipulated that all of Mr. Lusardo's lots drain in an easterly and southerly direction so there would be no encroaclunents of the neighbors to the west. Mrs. 0'Rourke indicated they would have to set that up even before the plans were submitted. Mr. Lang indicated that lot sizes are sufficient for homes of at least an equal nature that already exists on the eastern end of the street. He questioned if the developer had any sketches of the houses that would be built on the lots. Mr. Lusardo indicated that everything would be built according to code, he was not your typical track builder. Mr. Koeth indicated he would have to conform to B residence of the zoning code. Mr. Lang also wanted to bring to the commissioner's attention that there is not an emergency vehicle in the city that can make the turn at the end of the street. He suggested presently there were no curbs, and he does not want to be accessed for sewers iu the future. He further requested that the constniction of the new homes not change the RFD mail system to a walk system. He indicated if the mailing system changed to a walk system, the residents would have to put in sidewalks. Mr. McDermott indicated the City would require the developer to put in sidewalks for the new houses, but unless council enacts it the older homes would not be required to put in sidewalks. Mr. Lusardo indicated it was his experience that if it was a RFD route it would remain so, the postal department does not want to hire more people to deliver mail.. About the parking issues all of the new homes will have t-,vo car garages with a 50'foot driveway, which should be sufficient to park their cars. R. Koeth motioned to approve the Lusardo Homes; Subdivision, Preliminary Plan their proposal is to subdivide permanent parcel 4236-10-008 into five residential lots.

This case is to go to the Board of Zoning Appeals and the Planning Commission recommends the variance be approved. The motion was seconded by K. 0'Rourke and unanimously approved. Motion Cart•ied. In the framing of the motion Mr. Dubelko indicated that the code governs what the discretion is in ruling on what is proposed in minor subdivisions and drainage is not something that the Commission has discretion in. The clerk announced that the case would go to the Board of Zoning Appeals meeting on April 1, 1999 and that no fiirther notices would be sent out. She also indicated Mr. Lusardo would need to submit an application and pay the fees to the building department as soon as possible. 3).
