Session 1480, Minutes November 7, 1988 seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Page 5 There was discussion regarding what should be done about notices, and Mr. Wag - mer moved that notices be mailed to the 20 nearest residents. Mrs. Schuman seconded the motion. All voted Aye except Councilmember Adams and Mayor Ma- jerus, who voted Nay. WArZORG BACK TAX'S - 1305 EASTC�VER The City Manager said the hoarse owner at 1305 Eastover purchased the adjacent vacant lot at a tax sale and promises to maintain it, ensuring a better ap- pearance as well as saving the City future weed mowing costs. He --- t that back taxes and liens amounting to $1,670 be waived, in accordance with Council policy in such cases. Mr. Price moved approval, with Mrs. Thoapson seconding the motion. All voted Aye. PRS—UNARY PLAT - UNIVEEi.SITY PLACE SUBDIVISION The City Manager recommended approval of a preliminary plat for University Place Subdvision at Blackberry and Hanley, with the following conditions: 1. All lots for single family detached dwellings shall be no less than forty (40) feet in width at the narrowest part. 2. The median within the proposed Balson Avenue right-of-way shall be in- creased in width if approved by the St. Louis County Department of High- ways and Traffic. 3. "University Place" is not appropriate as a street name; thus the name for the proposed westernmost street must be changed. Mr. Price moved approval with all conditions. Mr. Schoomer seconded the mo- tion. The developer, Mr. Richards Bruno, came forward. He and Mr. Mark Conner, the other developer, were in agreement with the second and third conditions; how- ever, Mr. Bruno noted there were three lots of irregular shape on Blackberry that, while averaging a width of greater than 40 feet, were not that wide at all points. Mr. Schoamer said it was his understanding that this was accept- able to the Plan Commission. Mr. 011endorff pointed out that the first condi- tion stipulates that all lots must be no less than 40 feet wide at the narrow- est part, and if it turns out that this is a misinterpretation, it will be straightened out at the Plan Coammission meeting when it considers approval of the final plat. Mayor Majezvs asked Mr. Price if he wished to modify his motion of approval in light of Mr. Bruno's statement. Mr. Price wished to know what would happen if his motion remained as stated. Mr. 011endorff said the developers will have two choices --each lot will have to be at least 40 feet in width at its narrowest part, or it was possible that he misunderstood and the Plan Commission was willing to accept the variation in width. In that case, the Commission will address that when it sees the final plat. Mr. Price said he would let his original motion stand.
