body
The City Planning Commission of Jonesboro, Arkansas, met in regular session on the above date, at 7:30 P.M., in the Engineering Office of City Water and Light Plant.
MEMBERS PRESENT: Planning Commissioners Carson Boothe, Dean Ellis, C.D. Frierson, Al Hendrix, Mrs. Clifford Hill, Minor Markle, and Elmer Stuck.
MEMBERS ABSENT: Planning Commissioners Lloyd Rebsamen and Neal Thayer.
The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved.
Charles Frierson suggested that a memo of City Council action related to the minutes be made and attached to the record to show the subsequent action of the council to planning commission recommendations.
Douglas Bradley presented a revised plat of his Highway #141 Subdivision. The only change being the revision of the Main Street width, east of the centerline. Mr. Bradley explained that it was originally contemplated that the property owner on the east side of Main would give a 30’ right of way. Later developments allow only a 20’ right of way east of centerline of Main Street. Motion was made by Charles Frierson, seconded by Carson Boothe, that the plat be given final approval as presented. Passed.
Don Gilbert presented final plat, profiles and drainage maps on Robindale Addition. It was pointed out that this addition was presently outside the city limits but was in the process of petitioning for annexation to City of Jonesboro. Mr. Gilbert stated that in his dedication and bill of assurance he had made the addition conform to R-2 requirements for zoning, except Lots 1 through 10 of Block B, facing Arkansas Highway #141 which would be considered for commercial lots. Motion was made by Elmer Stuck, seconded by Carson Boothe, that Robindale Addition be given final approval. Passed. IT was suggested that zoning would follow at a later date in a public hearing and Mr. Gilbert could then request the area be zoned as he requested.
