The applicant requests preliminary plat approval for a 12-lot plat of approximately 5.2 acres and is currently occupied by four detached houses and several outbuildings. The proposed lots will front on either Bradley or Elm Street. Lot sizes range from 9,060 square feet to just over 1.0 acre. Lot 10 and Lot 11 are essentially flag lots, but are proposed to have 40 feet of frontage per lot (fronting Bradley), which is in conformance with the R-1 zone. Section 503.4 of the Shawnee Zoning Code requires a minimum lot width of 60 feet as measured at the front building line. Lot 10 and Lot 11 measure more than 60 feet at the front building line that is established on the plat. Staff is recommending approval subject to the following six (6) conditions:
1. A building envelope shall be depicted on the final plat for Lot 10 and Lot 11, which demonstrates compliance with Section 40.2.9 of the Shawnee Subdivision Regulations.
2. The front building line for Lot 10 and Lot 11 shall be as established on the final plat and as approved by the City.
3. Sidewalks shall be constructed in accordance with Section 40.2.8 and shall be installed prior to occupancy on each subject lot. A 5-foot passing lane is required (per ADA) every 200 feet and such passing area shall be shown on the improvement plans and constructed as approved.

2. The front building line for Lot 3 (Phase 1) shall be as established on the final plat and shall meet the dimensional standards of the Shawnee Zoning Code.

4. The “common area and drainage easement” shall be constructed during Phase 1 and those lots benefiting from its instrument, subject to approval by the City Engineer.
5. Lot 1, Phase II requires a minimum lot area of 5.0 acres and therefore may only be approved and recorded upon adjustment in lot area or rezoning of the property. No building permit can be issued for a non-conforming lot, where the hardship is self-imposed.

There was no New Business.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18: Administrative Reports
There were no Administrative Reports.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 19: Commissioners Comments
Under Commissioners Comments, Commissioner Sims explained the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has new requirements for ozone air quality that will be affecting some of our local businesses in Pottawatomie County if not excluded from the requirements. Commissioner Sims would like to have a resolution requesting the exemption for Pottawatomie County. The Governor will have some input into the areas exempted. If we are not granted this exemption, it will be a definite hardship on economic development as well as businesses already in and around Shawnee.
Commissioner Harrod asked about changing the election dates so the timeframe after being elected but before taking office is not so long. John Canavan explained the City could go back to the original Charter and have the elections as they were before on a March/April cycle rather than the state cycle. The state required 35 days between any elections. We could request the Election Board waive the 35 day requirement.
Mayor Peterson wished everyone a Merry Christmas.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 20: Adjournment
There being no further business to be considered, a motion was made by Commissioner Sims, seconded by Commissioner Collier, that the meeting be adjourned. Motion carried 6-0. (8:44 p.m.)
