directly to Spruce Street. Lot 7 fronts Pine Street with access by an existing curb cut on Pine Street. Lots 2 and 3 access Spruce Street via Outlot A. Outlot A is proposed as a 20' wide private fire lane maintained by the owners of Lots 2 and 3. Outlot B is th~: 15% land dedication. Planning Commission's recommendation was that the subdivider be responsible for the maintenance of Outlot B. At Planning Commission's public hearing on February 8, 1994, they ap~,roved Resolution No. 3 by a vote of 7 - 0 with eight conditions of approval (SEE ATTACHED). Conditions 4 - 8 have been completed by the applicant. This Resolution No. 16 had three conditions of ap~,roval (SEE ATTACHED). Davidson called for the applicant's presentation. Bok. Grolsch, representing applicant Terry Kristovich, stated concerning Outlot B being maintained by the homeowner's ass.ociation, that with an outlot of this size and there being no homeowner's association, it didn't seem worthwhile to establish a homeowner's association to maintain a xeriscaped piece of ground. On the cost of developing Spruce Street, the public improvements are estimated to be $160,000. He received an estimate of $231,000 for the development of Spruce, which does not include the cost of burying the utility lines currently along West Spruce Street, an add.ed $30 - $40,000. He asked Council if they would be interested in working with Public Works and pay half of the public improvement cos.t for the City of Louisville and look for the recovery in future development. Davidson called for Council comments and questions. Ho%'ard wanted some trees on Outlot B. He was reluctant to have taxpayers money up-fronted for the West Spruce Street improvements. He felt the burden of development should fall on the developer. Lat.hrop felt the developer should be responsible for their development and all associated costs thereof. Mayer wondered about the on-site detention. Tom Phare, Public Works Director, stated detention would be taken care of within the project. It will discharge to Pine Street. Gr¢.lsch stated Lot 6 would take care of any drainage. Mayer wondered who would maintain the 20' landscape and drainage easement. Gr¢.lsch: It will be the responsibility of the homeowner to maintain. Mayer wondered about the difficulties of a shared driveway. 8
