MAPC MINUTES
OCTOBER 11, 1988
body
The Metropolitan Area Planning Commission met Tuesday, October 11, 1988 at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers, 314 W. Washington. The meeting went as follows:
MEMBERS PRESENT: Mr. Sloan, Mr. Harris, Mr. Lamberth, Mr. Vance, Mr. Smock, Mr. McCracken
MEMBERS ABSENT: Mr. Blalock, Mr. Lusby, Mr. Aycock
Preceding consideration of items on the agenda, Steve Orr addressed the commission concerning unanswered questions that are being asked in reference to the annexation proposed to be voted on in the November General Election. It was clarified that all land coming into the City would be classified as R-1 irrespective of present use. Another area of concern was what effect changes in land ownership would have on a “nonconforming use”. It was stated that changes in ownership would not affect the ability to continue its present use. When and if the use is changed, a rezoning would have to be submitted to the MAPC as would any other rezoning change. Mr. Orr also commented that if the annexation was approved and the City receives the S M S A classification that $18,000 is available from the Federal Government each year to be used for planning purpose as well as other monies that would be available through S M S A.
Also, handed out prior to the meeting were copies of two new ordinances approved by the City Council regarding street construction specifications. Members of the commission as well as developers and engineers in attendance received copies of these ordinances.
Another item of business was the fact that the November meeting of the MAPC will be held on the same day as the General Election. Mr. Vance made a motion to change the meeting time for this meeting from 7:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. with an 8:30 or 9:00 p.m. cut off. Mr. Sloan seconded the motion. All members present voting aye.
