3) The Clerk said that the Chair had already agreed to the requested
changes in the agenda by Mike Rierden, regarding Preliminary Plat
97006, Special Permit 148 and also Change of Zone 139 (listed
under Item 4 -- PUBLIC HEARINGS).
A preliminary plat and special permit for Branched Oak Lakeside
Acres, requested by Jack Tuma for WTK Company, Inc., consisting
of 15 single family lots, on property located west of Branched
Oak Lake on Northwest 140th Street and West Rock Creek Road in
Lancaster County, Nebraska (Preliminary Plat 97006 and Special
Permit 148).
Mike DeKalb, Planning Department, appeared and said a revised
drawing (Exhibit "A") had been supplied and comments were
received from the County Engineer and Planning staff. He said
the County Engineer had the following comments:
1. Direct vehicular access of Northwest 140th Street shall be
relinquished except for West Lake View. Lot 11 must access West
Lake View only.
2. West Lake View intersects the south line of the plat at a
large skew angle. An extension of West Lake View to the south
would not follow the property line. West Lake View should be
perpendicular when it intersects the south line of the plat.
3. The culvert design not marked out does not match the culvert
proposal under Northwest 137th Street.
4. The approval block should refer to the Lancaster County Board
of Commissioners not Lancaster County Commission.
DeKalb stated it was his understanding that the County Engineer's
now agrees with item two.
It was noted that discussion has also taken place between Game
and Parks, the Nebraska Field Trial Association and Mike Rierden
regarding Note 12 (notification to property owners regarding the
Nebraska Field Trial Association activities). DeKalb said
condition five of the special permit could be amended, as far as
the list of covenants, to include the notification language,
verbatim, so it would become a covenant to the property.
DeKalb said if the Board felt comfortable with the changes they
could approve the preliminary plat and special permit subject to
a sign off by the Planning Department.
In response to a question asked by Campbell, Mike Rierden,
attorney representing applicant, said the language now reads as
follows: "Owner acknowledges that the Nebraska Field Trial
Association Inc. leases from the Nebraska Game and Parks
Commission the abutting property to the east and that the
Association conducts field trial operations . . ." He also said
they agree that the language will be added to the protective
covenants.
Campbell asked if language had been added so that any changes in
the notification requirement would trigger written notification
to property owners.
Rierden said language was added to the same notification that he
previously spoke about which states, "Any change to this
notification requirement would need prior written notification to
the Game and Parks Commission and all abutting property owners."
For clarification, DeKalb asked, if it was the intent of the
Board to include the notification language, verbatim, as a
condition of the special permit under the covenants.
It was the consensus of the Board to include the notification
language, verbatim, as a condition of the special permit under
the covenants.
MOTION: Campbell moved and Hudkins seconded to approve Special
Permit 148 to include amended language regarding the
notification to purchasers (Note 12) and to include the
notification language, verbatim, as a condition to the
special permit under the covenants. On call Steinman,
Tussing, Campbell and Hudkins voted aye. Svoboda voted
no. Motion carried.
MOTION: Hudkins moved and Campbell seconded to approve
Preliminary Plat 97006. On call Tussing, Campbell,
Hudkins and Steinman voted aye. Svoboda voted no.
Motion carried.
4) PUBLIC HEARINGS:
C. Change of Zone Number 139, from AG Agriculture to AGR
Agricultural Residential, requested by LeRoy F. Busboom, on
property located at the northeast corner of Southwest 112th

and said he had visited with Don Thomas, County Engineer,
about deferring the change of zone for one more week.
Tussing submitted a letter into the record from Myron and
Barbara Smith who are in opposition of the zoning change

a liquor license for Hidden Valley Golf Course and Club

and Training Officer and recommended payment. He noted that
Mr. Manning's insurance company has paid him and any payment
should be payable to State Farm Insurance, as well as the
insured, to ensure collection will be made on the subrogation
