APPEAL HEARING - 6:00 P.M. - An Appeal Hearing was held regarding the MAPC denial of a site plan approving two additional dwelling units to be built on a lot with an existing home at 1115 W. Jefferson. The Appeal Hearing was requested by Mr. Jim Darnell. Mr. Darnell questioned why a site plan is required when the structure is being built in compliance with Residential-2 (R-2) zoning. Mr. Brian Wadley, Planning and Inspection Director stated Mr. Darnell is not in compliance with R-2 zoning because in R-2 zoning drive-ways are normally 24 feet wide, however, Mr. Darnell’s is only 14 feet wide. Another non-compliance matter discussed was the density (15 units per acre) being more than what is allowed in R-2 zoning. It was explained by Mr. Wadley, the excess density creates poor drainage.
PUBLIC HEARING - 6:20 P.M. - A Public Hearing was held regarding the abandonment of street right-of-ways for Norma Drive, Charles Drive, and China Drive, all located in Metzler Addition. No opposition was voiced. (St. Bernards Hospital / Berl Smith)
