Subdivision Plat - Cumberland Falls Plaza, request for approval of their proposed plans
Mr. Cannon ask Mr. Burke to please explain the proposed plans for the Subdivision Plat to the Commission.
Mr. Burke explained the Subdivision Plat apparently had been in the planning stages for sometime, but no one had contacted the Planning Commission for approval.
We are trying to get an Applebee's Restaurant in the Cumberland Falls Plaza Development. Part of the guidlines before they will sign the final contract requires the Planning Commission to approve the development.
There are five lots marked off on the Subdivision Plat. Lot #2 is the proposed site for the Applebee's. Lot #1 is the track that separates Burger King from the proposed site for the Applebee's.
They also have proposed a fifty foot right away connecting the two connect roads already existing, those will have to be developed by the developer when he puts the structure in.
There was some discussion as to how the Subdivision Platt was to be laid out and how the Platt was to be sub divided out, the large center lot will not be sub-divided at this time, the developers will have to maintain this lot.
The lot purchased by PT Pros has been exempted out of the Lots for the Subdivision Plats.
Mr. Cannon explained that there are two stages that need approval, the Preliminary plan stage where we are now and then the Final plan stage. According to the development ordinance the Final plan shall be approved no sooner than two weeks following approval to the Preliminary plan.
Mr. Burke further stated that in order for Applebees to continue development plans the Final Plat must be approved. He is hoping he can type up a response that the Preliminary plan has been approved and that will be enough for them to continue to move forward.
The floor was opened up for further discussion and questions.
Mr. Burke stated that Applebees hopes to have the structure constructed and to be up and running by summer. Further in the discussion he stated that they are anxious to get started with construction.
An additional discussion was the concern of an increase in traffic causing potential problem, and if a stop light might be added when the Applebees goes in.
Mr. Cannon added that the construction on the hill proposes that a four lane highway be constructed and extended all the way to 25W, the proposal has been sent to Secretary of Transportation Bill Neighbert. The transportation cabinet has committed to fund this construction, but at this time we do not have anything in writing. The proposal sent to the Transportation Cabinet does have signaling the intersection included in it.
Mr. Cannon summarized that by the end of the coliseum construction project all the road and traffic signal concerns will be addressed.
Other items of concern were utilities and fire hydrants which Mr. Burke stated had already been established.
Ms. Martin had an concern with water erosion as there has been a problem with some of the other structures that have been constructed in the past few years.
Mr. Robinson brought up that we should approve the Preliminary Plan as it stands right now, without a erosion control and landscape plan, with the stipulations that those two plans be in place before the Final Plat is approved.
A motion was made that they waive the requirements for the erosion control and landscaping plan.
