. . Minutes - Plan Commission Page 2 August 10, 1988 REQUEST FOR RESUBDIVISION OF 8109 OLIVE BOULEVARD BY DONOHUE HEATING & AIR- CONDITIONING, INC. Chairman McCauley noted that Mr. Robert Raben, Secretary of Donohue Heating & Air-Conditioning, Inc., had requested a resubdivision of the Donohue property at 8109 Olive Boulevard. Chairman McCauley called on Mr. Raben to present the proposal. Mr. Raben stated that Donohue had originally owned the property known as 8109 Olive Boulevard but within the past two years had acquired the property at 8109 Olive-Rear for an expansion of its heating and air-conditioning business. The properties were now unified in ownership and in use by recently laid asphalt for parking of company vehicles. The combination of parcels by the proposed plat, "Donohue's Place," would aid the company in financing on the property. Chairman McCauley inquired about the purpose of keeping the access easement on the east side of the front lot. Ms. Elwood stated that her same inquiry of the surveyor, James Engineering and Surveying, Inc., revealed the preference to retain the easement on the record plat since the same easement and building lines were still a matter of record by deed. Ms. Elwood indicated that the proposed plat appears to conform in all respects with the city's Subdivision Ordinance. After further discussion, it was moved by Ms. Kreishman, seconded by Mr. Washington and passed by a vote of 5-0 that the Plan Comaission approve the resubdivision of property at 8109 Olive Boulevard in accordance with the plat entitled "Donohue's Place." Chairman McCauley informed Mr. Raben that the subdivision request would be referred to the City Council for consideration at its next meeting. REQUEST FOR SUBDIVISION OF 3 ACRE PARCEL NORTH OF RUTH PARK. CORVETTE SUBDIVISION. REVIEW OF FINAL PLAT Chairman McCauley noted that the Toro Corporation had requested review of the proposed final plat for the Corvette Subdivision, consisting of 15 lots for attached single family homes with a proposed new street and wooded common area. Mr. Tobin and Mr. Roufa of the Toro Corporation were present to respond to questions by Commission members. Chairman McCauley recognized Frank Ollendorff, City Manager, who reviewed for Commission members some of the changes incorporated into the final plat and supporting documents at the request of the City. Mr. Ollendorff informed the members that he had met personally with neighbors in the area surrounding the proposed subdivision and learned that they were opposed to an open parking lot within the subdivision as well as a deep concrete storm-water detention basin within the common area. Therefore, the developers proposed a widening of Swarthmore Lane south of Blancha Drive to accommodate increased on-street parking as well as a grassy swale to allow gradual release of storm water run off down the hill north of the lots. He stated that the City had agreed with the developers that the City would
