A letter from the City Health Officer was read, approving the subdiv- ision for septic tanks subject to conformance with Health Dept. requirements. Letter from the City Engineer was read, recommending that action on the plat be helve abeyance until a street system plan for the area has been developed and approved, but also outlining engineering requirements should the plat be approved. A letter from the Mayor expressed disapproval of the plat because of inadequate ingress and egress. Mr. Larson discussed development of roads in the area, suggesting that a looped road tying in this plat with future development of the property to the west be considered. Mrs. Engler reported that she and Mr. Sater went with the City Engineer to the property and feel that the Street Committee should make a comprehensive study of streets for the area. Mr. Middleton stated that they could give r/w between Lot 5 and 6 for future street hook-up to a road on the west. Tract A is already an easement given to the property to the east. Mr. Sater pointed out that there is a large area to the south also which is undeveloped, and said he, too, felt there should be a street plan made. Mrs. Osgood, owner of the property to the east, said her garage is five feet from the west property line and partially supports a steep bank next to Tract A. She also expressed concern about sewerage run-off from developed lots since,the she said, there is considerable drainage run-off from the property Mr. Belt offered to add an additional 5' to Tract A so any future development of the property to the east could make it a 50' dedicated road. Mr. Hubbard than said that in light of the report of the City Engineer and the Committee who looked at the property, he moved that hearing on File No. P-7-65, Preliminary Plat of Tommy Park Addition No. 3, be deferred to the meeting of November 17, 1965. Motion was seconded by Mrs. Engler. Mr. Middleton questioned the two -month deferral, saying there would have to be subsequent action on a street plan before it became official, but the Planning Commission felt that with the report in hand, they could act without L further official action. Motion carried.
