Mr. Farmer made a motion to amend the May 14, 2002 minutes regarding item #9 and more particularly stipulation #1. This stipulation should read, “installing only one access off Johnson Avenue, and recommend that it be 40' wide to allow quicker turning, and limiting this access to entrance only with signage prohibiting exits onto Johnson Ave”. The motion was seconded by Ms. Shaw. All members present voting aye, MINUTES APPROVED AS AMENDED.
#1 RZ02-19 The Burrow Family Trust requested approval of rezoning from the R-1 Single Family Medium Density District to the C-3 General Commercial District for 2.92 acres, and rezoning from the C-3 General Commercial District to the R-1 Single Family Medium Density District for .37 acre, all located on a part of the north one half of the NE 1/4, NE 1/4 of Section 10, T14N, R4E. The general location of the property is on the west side of Paragould Drive, south of Johnson Avenue.
Bruce Burrow informed the commissioners that he had no specific plans for this property at this time. There are currently three homes on Johnson Avenue already zoned C-3 and a small commercial building. One of the homes is to be demolished along with the commercial building. The other two homes will be relocated to the R-1 requested property. Mr. Burrow explained that the ditch on site will be relocated a few feet south and cleaned up and will have landscaping and trees planted along the banks. A 70' buffer will remain zoned R-1 between the subdivision to the south and this property. It is further planned to get the City’s participation to enclose the ditch along Paragould Drive with pipe.
A couple of property owners spoke in opposition to the request.
Glenn Batten, City Planner, stated that this proposal is considered to be a technical adjustment in the Zoning Map. When this property is joined with the frontage on Johnson Avenue that is currently C-3 it becomes more of a commercial node as described in the Land Use Plan, rather than strip commercial. Complete site development plans will have to be submitted to the City Planner prior to development of the property.
Mr. Gott made a motion to recommend approval of the rezoning to the City Council with Mr. Farmer making the second. Voting was 6, 0 opposed. Those voting aye were Gott, Damron, Farmer, Shaw, Krennerich, Street, MOTION CARRIED, REQUEST APPROVED.
#2 RZ02-20 Ben Honeycutt requested approval of rezoning from the R-1 Single Family Medium Density District to the C-3 General Commercial District for 4.0 acres located on a part of the SW 1/4, SE 1/4 of Section 9, T14N, R3E. The general location of the property is on the southwest side of Joe N. Martin Expressway, south of Co Op Drive.
Glenn Batten, City Planner, stated that this proposal is considered to be a technical adjustment in the Zoning Map. This property has little frontage on Hwy 63 and is unusually shaped. The adjacent property owner owns a strip of property in front of most of tract of land.
