Minutes of a SPECIAL MEETING of the Grow Township Planning and
Zoning Commission held August 7, 1974 at the Grow Town Community
Center.
Attending were: Acting Chairman Jaworski, Commission members
Bush, Jack, Rither and Vander Laan.
Meeting was called to order at 7:35 by Chairman Jaworski.
First item on the agenda was the Public Hearing on the Kiowa
Terrace Preliminary Plat. Chairman Jaworski read a letter from
TKDA Engineering giving their evaluation of the plat. The firm
had the following recommendations which were discussed by the
Commission and the developers: 1) Park dedication--Jack indi-
cated the Park Board wanted to know the amount of money the
developers would be required to pay before they accepted cash in
lieu of land. 2) Construction of individual disposal systems
on lots 3, 4, 7, and 8 should be shown on the plat. TKDA suggest-
ed the fill from construction of the roads should provide addition-
al elevation for the problem lots. Developers stated they would
prefer to use the roadways for drainage rather than install
culverts. Jaworski noted that the lots to be filled will have
to be watched and that no Building Permits will be issued if
they are not satisfactory. Jaworski noted there was an error in
the zoning designation, that it is shown as I-Family Residential
rather than R-2. Rither read from Ordinance #10, Sec. 9.06 a(2).c
that corner lots shall be platted at least 15 feet wider than
interior lots and indicated this should be done. Developers
stated that utilities will be installed along the fronts of the
lots. Rither questioned if a drainage easement along the creek,
designated on the plat as a ditch running North to South, along
the rear line of Block #2, will be provided as per Ordinance #10,
Section 9.04 b. Developers stated there would be such an ease-
ment but didn't know how much.' It was determined they would check
with the engineer on the required width. Jaworski indicated the
temporary cul-de-sac should be shown on the plat and developers
stated easement could be given to the Township on a separate
document at the signing of the Final Plat. Rither recommended
that in the report from the Commission it be specified that
Street Section Plate #GT 502 be the required roadway. Jaworski
stated that the Township Clerk will research the amount of money
to be donated to the park fund. Commission determined there is
no conflict with the proposed Comprehensive Plan, with respect to
the proposed Major Thoroughfare Plan, as illustrated on page 168.
Commission generally felt that before the Preliminary Plat be
approved the items discussed at this meeting should be resolved.
Vander Laan moved that the Public Hearing for the Preliminary Plat
on Kiowa Terrace be continued to the regularly scheduled meeting

Next item on the agenda was a Sketch Plan from Hy Itman and
William Itman, property owners. Bruce Folz presenced the Plan
and stated that in the layout of the plan it is difficult to
meet the requirements of the ordinance for road widths. He
explained the Sketch Plan and an optional one which was presented
and then it was determined that the proposed County Road #7
would cross the property. Rither asked that instead of getting
the maximum number of lots was there any reason why some lots
couldn't be larger than 2-t acres? Folz answered that it is
a matter of economics, that the alternative would be to have
lots with 450 feet of frontage, that conforming to 2-t acre lots
would butcher the land. Rither suggested perhaps the time is
not right f~r developing the land. It was suggested by the
Commission that the owners and Folz check with the County with
respect to the road plan and return to the Planning & Zoning
Commission with a new Sketch Plan. Jack suggested a third
plan be drawn, including the road plan as proposed by the County.
Rither moved the meeting be adjourned. Bush seconded.
Meeting adjourned at 9:45.
