APPEAL HEARING
An Appeal Hearing was held regarding the MAPC decision of property located N of U.S. Hwy 49-B and E of Russell Dr. for Evelyn Fisher at 7:00 p.m. The attorney representing the petitioners was Skip Mooney, Sr. He asked for removal of the stipulations placed on the issuance of a building permit as follows: “...subject to conditional occupancy within nine (9) months, the visiting apartments should be removed from the premises and that within thirty-six (36) months, the existing house should be removed from the premises. In the event that either of those items should not be resold, the occupancy permit shall be revoked and the utilities shut off.” He asked the council to ease the restrictions in view of Mrs. Fisher’s age and to increase the time frame of three (3) years or thirty-six (36) months to five (5) years for the existing house to be removed. He stated the MAPC approved a development plan for a coin-operated laundry and book store adjacent to the Fisher home. Attorney, Warren Dupwe asked Aldermen to all the stipulations to stand since they were a requirement of the rezoning and indicated the petitioners name does not appear on any probate records at the Craighead County Courthouse. Lloyd McCracken, Jr., Chairman of the MAPC addressed the matter and stated commissioners had serious reservations about approving the development plan and agreed only after adding the stipulations to guarantee commercial development of a tract zoned commercial.
PUBLIC HEARING
A Public Hearing was held regarding the abandonment of a street right of way for Calion St., N of Belt at 7:15 p.m. The attorney representing the matter was Ray Nickle. No objections were voiced.
