The application of Louiselle Corporation for preliminary and final plat
approval of the resubdivision of Lots 14, 15, 16, Block 4 Ariey Heights
was discussed. Charlie Earle explained that this was the Mitchell application
that had been approved at the last meeting and the resubdivision involves
dividing 3 lots into 2. Mr. Pruitt had recommended preliminary and final
plat approval as they meet the zoning requirements for the existing and pro-
posed uses. Mr. Parker moved that preliminary and final approval be given,
Mr. Kirk seconded and motion carried unanimously.
Barbara Manders came forth on a subdivision application of Francis M. and Rolan(
Lee, leaseholders of the property located between Morphy Avenue and Bellangee
Street north of Brown Street. After studying the drawing presented it was
noted that this is a R-2 district which has a rear yard requirement of
40 ft and what Ms. Manders is trying to do would not meet this requirement.
Mr. Pitman moved to deny the application as the Planning & Zoning Commission
does not have the jurisdiction to waive this requirement, but recommended she
might take it to the Board of Adjustments & Appeals. Mr. Parker seconded the
motion and it carried unanimously.
Ack Moore came forward on the Town and Country Estates subdivision application
with the drainage plan. This had been discussed at the last meeting. Discussic
let to a motion by MrI. Parker to grant preliminary approval subject to the pre-

in height be provided along the rear of Lots 1-7 backing up to Nelson Road.
Cecil Pitman seconded and motion carried unanimously.
Robert Mitchell came forth to discuss with the Board what would be required
to relocate two buildings he owns at the Beasley Nursing Home site across
the street to a lot on Morphy Avenue. He showed a drawing of how he wished
to lay the buildings out. The drawings reflected he would not have enough
space to meet the parking requirements. It was suggested that he eliminate
the second building and just have the first building and he would meet the 10
space requirement. He thanked the Board for their help.

Under old business, Cecil Pitman read excerpts from a letter he had received
from Tranum Fitzpatrick that had been sent to T.G.& Y. about the pylon sign
they wish to erect at the Baldwin Square Shopping Center now being developed.
The letter stated the desire of the Planning Commission to have a sign that
would be appealing and have individual signs on the store fronts. Cecil Pitman
remarked that if we persevere we might be able to accomplish something. He
moved to have the Chairman send a letter stating that we endorse what Mr. Fitz-
patrick had written and this was what we desired in a sign for the shopping
center.
The Commission members set a date of May 14th at 7:30 p.m. at the Fireman's
Hall for a study session to answer Mr. Richmond's questions outlined in his
letter.
There being no further business, meeting was duly adjourned.
