POINTER APARTMENTS ON DBIt '
Mr. Gerald Pointer presented a revised site plan and building eleva-
tions of his proposed apartments which will be located along Dennis
Road north of Cooks Branch. Inasmuch as these apartments and their
accompanying drives and parking areas will be built immediately north
of Cooks Branch, Councilman Regan brought up the possibility of flood
waters in the creek scouring and undermining parts of these drives,
etc. He did not want the City to be held responsible for any damage
caused by this scouring. Mr. Pointer said he agreed to hold the City
harmless for this type of damage but would expect the City to perform
normal maintenance on the drainage channel.
Councilman Oradat did not believe rip-rap was necessary as had been
recommended by Rady and Associates. Mr. Pointer agreed to hold the
City harmless and that he will provide suitable splash aprons where
his storm sewer enters the channel.
Councilman Hamilton moved, seconded by Councilman Tippitt, with all
voting "ayes" to accept site plan (marked Exhibit "A") for apartments,
accept general appearance of front and side elevations as those to be
used throughout the development (marked Exhibit "B"); on Dennis Road
side and on sides next to parks between buildings use plan marked
Exhibit "C" and on sides next to parking lot, use high windows; on
Exhibit "A" to develop the southwest corner first and then go north-
ward along Dennis Road in the order 1, 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b and 4 (Exhibit
"A") when further development is made; and that Mr. Pointer will execute
a "hold harmless" instrument on channel scouring unless he chooses to
follow requirements as set out by the City. Since this new plan was
considered a minor revision of the original site plan, these stipula-
tions replace any conflicts with original, otherwise non-conflicts as
listed in original special permit will still apply, such as screening,
size of apartments, etc.
