The site plan had previously been presented to the Commission for their consideration. ~ A general discussion of the plans followed. Mr. Perlmutter was questioned as to who was responsible for the maintenance of .fences separating the development from single family dwellings and he stated this would be the responsibility of the Home Owner's Association. The. plans call for the dwelling and garage, including front open space to cover 1,891 square feet. It was pointed out that the ordinance said that each building site should be 2,000 square feet. Mr. Perlmutter said their interpretation. was that the building site could include common areas, in which event each owner would have more than 2,000 sq. ft. It was suggested that the building site be extended, and such deeded to each individual owner, to the area to the center of the driveway at the rear of each unit. Messrs. Perlmutter and Robinson stated that this was acceptable to them. The matter of sewer lines was discussed and Mr. Perlmutter stated that he understood that he - may have to install a lift station. Mr. Whitt Johnson, City Manager, arrived at the meeting at this time and advised that a study had been made by the City Engineer and the Water-Sewer Superintendent and it was -their opinion that an eight f 8') inch sanitary sewer line would have to be installed to replace a six (6") inch sewer line for about three (3) blocks east down the center of Cason St. and that this construction would be the responsibility of the developer. Messrs. Perlmutter and Robinson said this was agreeable and they were advised to contact the City Engineer for specifics. Mr. Johnson stated there was no problem as far as sanitary sewer service being adequate in the Kirby Drive area. Motion by Mr. LaCook, seconded by Mr. Dahlin, that the architect's plans and site plan be approved as submitted with the stipulation that owners' lots be extended to the dedicated easement at the rear of each unit.
