APPEAL HEARING - 6:10 p.m. - An appeal hearing was held regarding a decision by the Metropolitan Area Planning Commission to grant Mr. Jack Jones a “Special Use Permit.” Mr. Gary Winters had requested the appeal hearing, and was represented by his attorney, Mr. Skip Mooney, Sr. The opposition argued that procedures described in the Jonesboro Code Book for “Special Use Permits” were ignored and the M.A.P.C. made the decision to let Council sort out the procedural inconsistencies. Dr. Jack Jones explained he had followed the letter of the law as it was explained to him by city employees, and expressed concern over the money and inconvenience this misunderstanding had caused.
APPEAL HEARING - 6:20 p.m. - An appeal hearing was conducted regarding denial by the Metropolitan Area Planning Commission to rezone property from Residential One to Commercial Three, owned by Betty Waddle and Patricia (Burk) Waddel. Mr. Skip Mooney, Sr. was the attorney representing these two ladies. The MAPC had approved rezoning for Commercial Five, a more restrictive zoning. Mr. Mooney requested Council to change the decision to Commercial Four, stating it would be a compromise and would allow the ladies to sell the property. Mr. Melvin White asked the Council to uphold the MAPC decision of a Commercial Five zoning, citing increased traffic problems on South Main.
