Present: Richard Sanderson, Chairman; members James Nix, William Lucey, Tim Kant, Cecil Pitman, Cindy McBrearty, William Richmond, Maxwell Killoch and Mike Ford. The minutes of the March 7, 1988 meeting were approved as written on motion by Maxwell Killoch, seconded by Cindy McBrearty and unanimously carried. A public hearing was held on a request for M-1 Light Industrial zoning at the time of annexation by the Knights of Ecor Rouge for property containing some 4.38 acres located along the northwest boundary of the City at the extreme eastern terminus of East Pecan Avenue and adjacent to Viking Clock Co and New Era Baptist Church. Mr. Lunsford addressed the Commission on behalf of the K.O. E. R. He remarked that the property is presently outside the corporate limits but abuts M-1 zoning and that it is in compliance with the existing zoning plan, therefore he is recommending approval. Elliott Powe came before the Commission with a request that a portion of the property some 3/4 acre next to the church fronting on Lovett Lane possibly be zoned to be R-6 Mobile Home District. Discussion revealed that the K.O. E. R. would not object to this portion being changed. James P. Nix moved that this request be forwarded on to the City Council with approval M-1 zoning concurrent w/annexation except -for that portion of the North 1801; on the South 208' and on the East 139.13' containing some 314 acre± which will be R-6. William Lucey seconded the motion and it was unanimously carried. The Commission at this time was asked to recognize Carl Davis who was present to talk with the Commission about the County Zoning that is being proposed. Mr. Davis was Chairman of District 9 Committee. He went over with the Commission the process used in developing the zoning for the areas involved. Mr. Sanderson had remarked that some people present from Colonial Acres were ipset at the decision to zone the property up to Hwy 104 B-2. Mr. Davis said that they had consulted the owners in this case and that they had gone along with their wishes. He pointed out that there was a large natural buffer area involved in both pieces of property, that it was a fair thing to grant what they were asking for. Comments were heard from different members of the audience, John Parker, Arthur Corte, Clarence Bishop, Wayne Loudermilch and Colonial Acres residents. A show of hands was taken on how many wished another public hearing would be held before final adoption on this by County.
