Section Street Present: Richard Sanderson (Chairman); members Cindy McBrearty, William Richmond, Tim Kant, Jeanette Puckett The minutes of the January 6, 1992 meeting were approved on motion by Cindy McBrearty, seconded by Tim Kant and unanimously carried. Mr. Sanderson noted we had two public hearings tonight on parcels contiguous, with zoning being asked for concurrent with annexation. One being, Fred T. and Elizabeth Burmeister 2 parcels, A zoning R-2 (37.71± acres) and B R-3 PGH (2.29± acres) land located off of Cottage Dr. immediately East of Greeno Park S/D. Also, Katherine D. Burmeister as R-5 some 30± acres. He said the subdivision part had been withdrawn. He read a fax we had received from Gary Steiger voicing his objection to R-5 zoning and further saying that Austin Grant would act as his spokesma Mr. Grant came forward at this time and asked first if we could explain to him what the different zones meant. Bob Lunsford went over these for him. Further he asked what size lots, how would this affect his property value? Gerald Anderson spoke saying he had bought his home 9 mos. ago and that they bought in the country because they like the large acreage, country atmosphere that he was against R-5 zoning. Tommy Harris spoke saying he was also speaking for the developer of Mrs. Katherine Burmeister's property. He said that the homes planned were to be in the mid -price range around 85,000 for the single family residences, and the 30 acre tract the developer buying said that 1/3-1/2 would be multi -family retirement and that this tract is contiguous to multi -family now. Mrs. Donna Anderson spoke saying that when they bought they envisioned a significant quality of life and that she does not see multi -family dwellings in this area with the quality of life they envisioned. Mrs. McBrearty asked where the Anderson property was and she replied south of parcel being requested as R-5. Mr. Sanderson asked for any more comments and Mrs. McBrearty spoke saying that she thinks a jump from R-1 to R-5 is a big change and she really doesn't see this Other parcel request is R-2 and R-3 PGH and if annexed normally would come in as R-I unless zoning requested changed. Mr. Sanderson said he would call for a motion on each parcel. A motion was made to recommend approval to the City Council as presented for the lands of Fred T. and Elizabeth Burmeister request, R-2 parcel A and B R-3- PGH. Jeanette Puckett seconded and motion carried unanimously. A motion was made by Cindy McBrearty, seconded by William Richmond. Under discussion Tim Kant said he would like to see this tabled a month to see what could be worked out. Tommy Harris also said he would like to table to give the developer a chance to come up. Mrs. McBrearty was agreeable to withdrawing her motion and Mr. Richmond said he would withdraw his 2nd and Tim Kant moved to table this for a month to see if developer would come back with somthing different. Jeanette Puckett seconded and motion carried unanimously. The Board considered a sketch plan presented on DeVere acres. Bob said under comments that he would ask for a 10 ft. utility easement on both sides of the street and that the development was subject to review by the County engineer as well, that he had no problem with the sketch plan, he would like to see drainage plans but may be premature in this. Buddy Richmond moved to have development go ahead as shown, Cindy McBrearty seconded and motion carried unanimously. The Commission also advertised for public hearing on street and drainage and Bob said the major change involved is the substitution of a barrier type combined curb and gutter in lieu of the former roll type curb as the required construction standard. William Richmond moved to recommend this change to the City Council as requested, Jeanette Puckett seconded and motioi carried unanimously. There being no further business, meeting was duly adjourned. Note: There were not enough members present for a quorum at March 2 meeting, it will be rescheduled.
