He also noted that the plat does not involve a subdivision of property and the evaluation standards are substantially different from a standard plat.

Consider/Discuss/Act on request for final plat for the Richardson Second Addition, property located at 1107 N. Riggins street, being 0.906 acres in the Henry Brantley Addition. Clarence Richardson, 1107 N. Riggins Street, Anna, TX gave brief presentation regarding request to build a duplex on property located behind his residence (1106 N. Riggins street) on the east side facing North Riggins street. Molly Young asked a question regarding if the duplex would have some type of cover or garage for parking. Jon Hendricks expressed same concern. Ms. Young stated that a duplex having no garage for parking affects the appearance of other homes in the area. Mr. Richardson stated that he has other rental properties in Anna that do not have garages and the property is very well kept. M. Lawrence noted that currently the zoning ordinance does not require enclosed parking for duplexes; and this location was approved for Two Family Residential zoning by council. Mr. Lawrence reviewed the comments of Maurice Schwanke & Company and stated that the main concern was the 30' street roadway dedication on the east side of the property (currently Riggins street side) and where the centerline of the existing street is located relatively to the 30' easement. Mr. Lawrence stated that the part of the DART right-of- way currently used as a street is a prescriptive roadway right-of-way. Mr. Lawrence suggested that if plat is recommended for approval to consider recommendation conditional on satisfaction of concerns in the Schwanke comments. Motion made by Joseph Boda, seconded by Keith Green, to recommend approval of final plat for the Richardson Second Addition conditional on satisfaction of concerns expressed in Schwanke comments. 3 aye ( Boda, Green, Rattan) 3 nay ( Hendricks, Deragon, Young) 0 abstained Motion failed due to a tie vote.

Mr. Price informed that the existing house would be renovated for use as a day care center. After a lengthy discussion, Mr. Lawrence reviewed an e-mail he sent to each committee member regarding the Price's request and stated that the issue is to whether to accept the plat of the single acre or whether to request the owner of the land to plat the entire piece of ground, which would be the City's standard procedure and would be consistent with the City's subdivision ordinance. Mr. Lawrence stated that the dedication versus easement question was not an issue since it was City policy to accept a roadway easement in situations where the lot was one acre and sanitary sewer was unavailable. Motion made by Billy Deragon, seconded by Keith Green to recommend approval with the condition that there be a 30 feet wide right-of-way dedication. 2 aye (Deragon, Green) 4 nay (Rattan, Young, Hendricks, Bode) 0 abstained Motion denied.
