#1 SU92-11 Morris Hannah requested approval of placement of a mobile home on E. Matthews Avenue, east of Strawfloor Drive.
Noting that the mobile home procedures had been met and everything appeared to be in order, Mr. Patteson made a motion to approve the request. The motion was seconded by Mr. Baker. There was no opposition present concerning this request. Voting was 6 in favor, 0 opposed. REQUEST APPROVED.
#2 RZ92-32 Norman Ellis requested approval of rezoning from R-1 to C-3 for 5.534 acres located in part of the NW ¼ of Section 10, T13N, and R3E. The property is located on the south side of Southwest Drive, ½ mile west of Maple Valley Drive.

The owner stated that he had no problem with the additional right-of-way which he thought was already in existence anyway. Much of the surrounding zoning is undeveloped and zoned R-1 with the exception of a parcel zoned AG-1 where an agricultural flying service is located.
When asked what the reason for rezoning was, the petitioners stated they were looking to sell part of this tract for a commercial use and occupy a portion of it for their own commercial garage. Mr. Ellison stated they might be looking at a flea market or a landscape and nursery business, or possibly a freight company, etc…
It was further stated that they wanted the land zoned for commercial activity so it would be appropriate when a buyer or tenant should be found. After reading the AG-1 Ordinance, it was fund that most of the desired uses could be accommodated in AG-1 zoning. The bulk of the property the Ellison’s own is beyond the city limits. Only the first 300’ is in the city limits.
