The minutes of the March 12, 2002 meeting were approved as prepared.
#1 CU02-5 Randy Simpkins requested approval of a conditional use to construct a communications tower in the R-2 Multi-family Low Density District. The address of the property is 508 Creath Avenue and the general location of the property is on the north side of Creath Avenue, west of Bridge Street.
Glenn Batten, City Planner, stated that the size and shape of the proposed property was sufficient for a tower placement and basically would generate no traffic or place other demands on existing public facilities. Setbacks for the equipment sheds will be looked at at the time of construction.
Questions were raised by Commissioners regarding frequency interference with other uses in the area and also the structural stability of the tower.
Mr. Simpkins stated that the FCC would have to approve all frequencies that might locate on the tower and that structural engineers would design a structure designed to meet 70 mph wind loads or greater if desired.
No one in attendance expressed opposition.
Mr. Krennerich made a motion to approve the request with the following stipulations:
1. Providing two paved parking spaces on site, together with the necessary drive
2. Having the tower designed to withstand 110 mph wind loads
3. Receiving approval from FCC for all emissions
4. Design the tower in accordance with seismic specifications
5. Issue no building permits until stipulations are complied with

Cooper requested approval of rezoning from the Residential R-1 Single-Family Medium Density District to the C-3 General Commercial District for 1.01 acres located on a part of the SE 1/4, SW 1/4 of Section 1, T!4N, R4E. The general location of the property is on the northwest corner on Johnson Avenue and Clinton School Road.
Glenn Batten, City Planner, stated that the proposal is not consistent with the comprehensive plan and further that he was unsure of the consistency with the purpose of the zoning ordinance because of the core commercial request. Glenn explained that when a rezoning is requested to a general core district you have to consider all uses permitted in that district. Uses are not restricted to those that a petitioner may have in mind at the time. Some uses would be compatible with uses in the area and some would not, and some could be considered detrimental to other uses especially to the north and west. Glenn stated that the rezoning request was a little premature until other changes occur and other properties are joined to set the tone for future development. Residential development could occur as zoned with good access off the side street. The major impact on public facilities here would heavy traffic on Johnson Avenue, which is four to five lanes and posted at 50 mph.
No opposition was expressed by any in attendance.
Mr. Krennerich made a motion to disapprove the request because of inconsistencies with the land use plan and the zoning ordinance and that strip commercial for this property located in the curve of Hwy. 49 is not appropriate. The motion was seconded by Mr. Street. Voting was three in favor, 3 opposed. Those voting aye were Gott, Street, Krennerich. Those voting no were Damron, Johnson, Farmer. MOTION FAILED.
#7 RZ02-13 Mary Craft requested approval of rezoning from the Residential R-1 Single-Family Medium Density District to the Commercial C-3 Limited Use Overlay for 3.18 acres located on a part of the South Half of the SE 1/4 of Section 14, T14N, R3E. The general location of the property is on the south side of Washington Avenue, approximately 1,000' west of Stratford Drive.
Skip Mooney, representing Ms. Craft, stated that the property is heavily wooded and will the new site of the Elks Lodge. Ms. Craft owns the adjacent property as well.
Glenn Batten, City Planner, explained that the proposal is consistent with the comprehensive plan and with the purpose of the zoning ordinance. The limited use of an Elks Lodge with indoor/outdoor recreation areas, a conference center and dining facilities
is compatible with the uses in the surrounding area and is a good transitional use considering the rolling terrain. This use should not be a detriment to the adjacent uses and the church property is 800' east of the site.
No opposition was expressed by any in attendance
