body
APPEAL HEARING - 6:00 P.M. - Attorney C. M. Mooney, Sr., who represents Mr. Jay Harmon, addressed Council about a denial of the Metropolitan Area Planning Commission to rezone property from Residential (R-1) to Residential (R-3). The property is adjacent to the Moose Lodge located at 225 N. Airport Road. Mr. Mooney requested a second appeal hearing be set in order for him to meet with the Moose Club, owners of the proposed rezoning. He explained that Jay Harmon and Mike Ibsen had a contract agreement with the Moose Club to purchase the property; however, during the course of the appeal, Mr. Mooney learned the option had not been renewed. Mr. Mooney further explained the Moose Club meets tomorrow night (April 6, 1999) and he wanted to be sure the agreement was still in place. Mayor Brodell expressed concern over setting another appeal hearing only to have it pulled or tabled again. Mr. Mooney stated he would notify Mayor Brodell if that were to happen. City Clerk, Donna Jackson explained the publication fee would have to be paid again in order to run the appeal notice a second time. Mr. Mooney stated a check for the publication fee would be provided tomorrow. The appeal hearing was then closed by Mayor Brodell.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - April 5, 1999
The Jonesboro City Council met Monday, April 5, 1999, at 6:30 p.m. A full quorum was in attendance. Present were: Mayor Hubert Brodell, City Clerk, Donna K. Jackson, and 12 council members. Those members were: Kelton, Tate, McCall, Young, Crockett, Rorex, Rega, Province, Copeland, Moore, Perrin, and Roddy. City Attorney, Phillip Crego was unable to attend.
In honor of National Youth Service Day, April 20, 1999, Mayor Brodell presented Youth Service Awards to the Kid’s Church Bible Club for volunteer work done within the community. Mayor Brodell named some of the projects the young people had done: picked up trash, collected food for the Jonesboro Food Bank, and made greeting cards for the elderly. Mayor Brodell introduced the adult volunteers involved with the Kid’s Church Bible Club, Ms. Carolyn Passmore and Mr. Mike Johnson. Both the adults and youth were given a round of applause by Council.
Councilman Crockett moved, seconded by Councilman Young to approve the minutes from March 15, 1999, as delivered. A voice vote was taken resulting in all members voting aye. Those members voting aye were: Kelton, Tate, McCall, Young, Crockett, Rorex, Rega, Province, Copeland, Moore, Perrin, and Roddy.
The next item on the agenda was a request made by Mr. Hugh Atwood on behalf of the Olde Towne Neighbors Association to address Council regarding property located at 1210 S. Madison, which is owned by Mr. Bill Ebbert. Prior to Mr. Atwood addressing the Council, Mayor Brodell stated City Attorney, Phillip Crego had advised him that no proceedings could take place until August 5, 1999, due to an injunction filed by First Bank of Arkansas. Mr. Atwood read a letter to Council which stated since September of 1998, the Olde Towne Neighbors Association had tried unsuccessfully to get remedial action taken against property at 1210 S. Madison. Mr. Atwood stated two different letters were sent to Mayor Brodell, but no response was provided by the Mayor’s Office. The letter explained three different goals of the association, one being to improve the appearance of the neighborhood. Mr. Atwood requested assistance from the Council in reaching that goal. It was explained by Mr. Atwood that until 1210 Madison is completed or removed, the Olde Towne Neighbors Association is wasting its time trying to improve the area. Mayor Brodell responded by saying in the last fourteen years, there has been several turnovers in council members. Mayor Brodell stated he wants the problem corrected, but must rely on legal counsel. Mr. Atwood disagreed, stating the Council answers to the people, not the city attorney. Councilman Tate explained the Council has done everything it can do, up to this point, because of an injunction filed against the property. Mr. Atwood questioned when the case will be heard. Councilman Tate answered by saying, August 5, 1999. Mr. Atwood expressed concern over the case being delayed for years, and recommended telling the property owner to either complete the project or tear it down. Councilman Tate responded by saying, Council has already condemned the property, and that is why the injunction was filed. Councilman Moore stated with the adoption of the new condemnation ordinance (Ordinance No. 3115) Council could start preliminary steps regarding the property at 1210 Madison. Councilman Tate argued this matter was in litigation prior to the adoption of Ordinance No. 3115, therefore it has no effect on the Madison property. Councilman Moore explained Council could require the property be secured in a safe manner, under Section 14 of the emergency act. Councilman Tate agreed the property could be made secure, but not torn down or improved by the City, until August 5, 1999. Councilman Moore questioned why Council should wait till August to begin the ninety day notification process, and stated preliminary steps should be taken now, so Jonesboro will be ready once the matter goes to court on August 5, 1999, no matter what the outcome. Attorney Chris Thyer of the Mooney Law Firm addressed Council on behalf of the Ebbert family. He stated the injunction prevents Council from doing anything until there is a trial on the merits of one of the lawsuits. Attorney Thyer explained there are two separate lawsuits on the property, and it was not Bill Ebbert who got the restraining orders, but First Bank of Arkansas. It was explained that he and his client had tried to get building permits for 1210 S. Madison and have repeatedly been denied. Attorney Thyer explained one council member was present at least one time, when building permits were denied. He stated they will do whatever needs to be done to obtain building permits, but they needed to know what the steps were. Mr. Brian Wadley, of the Inspections Department responded by saying numerous building permits had been issued to Bill Ebbert as late as 1995, in addition to several extensions by the Council. Attorney Thyer stated a building permit was needed today. He explained representatives of his client recently requested a building permit from Mr. Wadley and were denied because the property was in litigation. Councilman Tate responded by saying the building permit was denied because Mr. Ebbert had already been given a six month extension by Council, in which he was told at that time, no more extensions or building permits would be granted to him. Councilman Tate further explained during the six month extension period Mr. Ebbert did nothing to improve his property. Attorney Thyer argued in order to fix the problem now, building permits must be issued. He further stated the problem will drag on in the courts if demolishing the property is the only acceptable alternative, and if building permits are not issued. Mayor Brodell stated five months ago he met with Bill Ebbert’s brother, Mike Ebbert and asked him if he had power of attorney. At that time, Mayor Brodell requested the total amount of funds for the project be put in an escrow account, architectural plans be provided, and an engineer be put on retainer. Mayor Brodell also explained to Mike Ebbert, the Council and staff were tired of providing building permits and extensions based on idle promises. Mayor Brodell questioned if Attorney Thyer and his client were willing to meet those requirements. Attorney Thyer responded, saying yes they were. Mr. Wadley stated the Council would have to vote to lift the condemnation that is already in place before a building permit could be issued. Councilman Kelton questioned Attorney Thyer as to whether or not the injunction prohibits the boarding up of the property at 1210 S. Madison. Attorney Thyer stated he does not represent the Council, but if the house is boarded up he will be filing a contempt charge against the city. Councilman Moore reminded Council that they had discussed this with City Attorney, Phillip Crego extensively and were told an emergency could be declared and the property could be secured, regardless of an injunction. Discussion followed between Councilman Moore and Councilman Tate regarding Ordinance No. 3115, and how it affects the 1210 S. Madison property. Councilman Tate contended that if the Council starts over with condemnation procedures, under Ordinance No. 3115, they would have to allow thirty days to purchase a permit, and issue the permit without any funds in an escrow account. Councilman Tate further explained the property at 1210 S. Madison has already been condemned by the City Council. Councilman Moore objected saying if Council follows the emergency provision of Ordinance No. 3115 they could secure the property, then start with the notification, take pictures of the property, and complete as much of the process as possible. Councilman Tate responded saying notification has already been done, and Council cannot change what has already taken place with the Madison property. Councilman Moore stated City Attorney Crego said the Council was required to research the true legal owners of the property in order to have a foundation to build the case on. Mayor Brodell asked Council if the Ebberts were to provide everything needed to put the property in order, by next week, would that be acceptable. Councilman Moore stated he had no reason to believe they will keep their word, and what the Ebberts do is independent of the Council’s action. Councilman Tate stated the injunction prevents anything from being done till August, but if the Ebberts put the money in escrow, provides plans, and hires an engineer at least progress is being made. Councilman Moore asked what assurance does the Council have that it will be done. Attorney Thyer accused Councilman Moore of having ulterior motives regarding the Ebbert property. Councilman Moore responded by saying he and his wife had spent $200,000.00 building a new home within a block of the Ebbert property and were concerned about the neighborhood. Attorney Thyer questioned if his client met the requirements would he be able to get a building permit to complete the building project. Discussion followed on what conditions a permit should be issued. Councilman Tate moved, seconded by Councilman Young to issue a building permit if the following conditions were met by May 3, 1999: 1) Total funds of the project placed in an escrow account. 2) Complete plans by an engineer. 3) Hire a contractor. 4) Secure the building. 5) Have one person to deal with regarding the structure. A voice vote was taken resulting in all members voting aye. Those members voting aye were: Kelton, Tate, McCall, Young, Crockett, Rorex, Rega, Province, Copeland, Moore, Perrin, and Roddy.

Mayor Brodell stated the reason for tabling the ordinance and the appeal hearing was to allow Attorney, C.M. Mooney time to discuss the option to purchase the proposed property from the Moose Club. Mayor Brodell expressed concern for setting another appeal hearing when details have not been worked out between the parties involved. He stated this places a hardship on citizens who come in opposition to the rezoning. Attorney, C. M. Mooney stated he had no reason to believe his client would not be here for the next appeal hearing. Mr. Mooney stated he requested the delay based on a legal technicality and did not want to mislead the Council with false information. Councilman Rega asked City Clerk, Donna Jackson if procedurally could Council set an agenda item for something that does not exist. Clerk Jackson responded saying the Jonesboro Municipal Code states Council shall set a time for appeal hearings. Councilman Rega suggested setting the appeal hearing after Attorney Mooney meets with members of the Moose Club and has the details ironed out. Attorney Mooney responded saying if it does not exist after the meeting Monday night he would immediately notify the Mayor’s Office.
