ITEM 1. PUBLIC HEARING CONDITIONAL USE APPLICATION CU07-20
TASTINGS FINE WINE AND ARTS
CONDITIONAL USE APPLICATION CU07-21 TASTINGS RESTAURANT
AND BAR
Mayor Tate declared the public hearing continued from the September 18, 2007 meeting.
Planning and Development Manager Ron Stombaugh reported Conditional Use Application
CU07-20 and CU07-21 had been filed by Tastings Fine Wine and Arts and Tastings
Restaurant and Bar, respectively. CU07-20 requests a conditional use permit for the
possession, storage, retail sale and off -premise consumption of alcoholic beverages (beer
and wine only) in conjunction with a retail store (342 square feet) and is located at 909
South Main Street, Suite #109. CU07-21 requests a conditional use permit for the
possession, storage, retail sale and on -premise consumption of alcoholic beverages (beer,
wine and mixed beverages) in conjunction with a restaurant (2,358 square feet) with
outside dining and is located at 909 South Main Street, Suite #110. The subject property
is zoned "MXU" Mixed Use District Regulations. Mr. Stombaugh reported the cases were
tabled at the September 18, 2007 meeting due to discussion on restaurant uses in the
mixed use project and the possible negative impact restaurant uses could have on the
project if they were allowed to consume the majority of the retail space on the ground floor
of both retail buildings. As a result of meetings held with Fairfield Development, along with
favorable consideration of both Tastings requests, Fairfield Development has agreed that
any additional full service restaurant uses are not permitted on the subject property with the
exception of coffee shops, bakeries, sandwich shops, and wine tasting rooms that will
require approval of a conditional use permit.
Mr. Scott Summers, the applicant, Mr. Larry Lee and Mr. Brent Ball, representing Fairfield
Development requested favorable consideration of the application.
City Council questioned the restaurant's hours of operation. Mr. Summers responded that
the proposed hours are Monday - Thursday 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.; Friday — Saturday 11 am
to 12 p.m.; and Sunday 11 a.m. — 8 p.m.
Mayor Tate invited guests present to comment regarding the application. No one wished

Planning & Development Manager Stombaugh reported Zoning Application Z07-04 and
Conditional Use Application CU07-30 had been filed by Lucas Funeral Home for property
located at 410 North Dove Road. The zoning application requests rezoning of 1.398 acres
from "R-7.5" Single Family District Regulations to "PO" Professional Office District
Regulations. The conditional use application requests a conditional use permit for the
construction of a funeral home. The case will go before the Board of Zoning Adjustments
relative to a requested variance for a rear yard setback, therefore, if approved, it would be
the first reading of the ordinance. He also advised that due to the opposition of the adjacent
property owners within 200 feet of the case, a 3/4 vote of the Council would be required for
approval.
Mr. Jim Lucas requested favorable consideration of the application noting that Lucas
Funeral Horne started on Main Street, moved to East Worth Street and then to West
College Street. He noted the various locations of funeral homes in the City that had set a
precedent of funeral homes being in residential areas. He stated the facility would not be
for any other uses than visitation or funerals and that off duty police officers would always
be utilized for the processions.
The City Council and the Planning & Zoning Commission questioned the times of the
services and visitations and whether there would be anyone living on the property. They
also expressed concern relative to the additional traffic on Dove Road. Mr. Lucas stated
the services are usually no earlier than 10 a.m. and visitation from 5 — 7 p.m. or 6 — 8 p.m.
Mayor Tate invited guests present to comment regarding the application.
Ms. Sandra Bass, 301 North Dove Road, stated her support for the zoning and funeral
home and noted that she is the largest property owner adjacent to the subject property.
Mr. Larry Francis, 500 Dove Creek Place, stated he owns property on Hilltop and opposes
the rezoning and funeral home due to the traffic and safety of the school children.
Ms. Jennifer Duffer, 1316 Hilltop, spoke on behalf of the Ronald Duffer family, stating their
opposition to the rezoning and funeral home due to concerns of traffic congestion, school
children safety, depreciation of home/property values and the need to have a positive
environment in a residential neighborhood, not a funeral home.

due to traffic concerns.

residential area and concerns regarding the safety of the school children.
Mr. C. B. Kloppe, 1234 Hilltop, said that he was opposed to the rezoning and funeral home
due to traffic, property values, safety of the school children and the community being
eroded by businesses being allowed in residential areas.
Ms. Sherri Blassingame, 3628 Diamond Ranch Road, a realtor, spoke on behalf of the
homeowners stating there would be an expected negative impact on property values due
to the close proximity of the funeral home to the homes.
Mr. Jack Roseberry, 2909 Steve Drive, a realtor, representing the property owner, Star
Bible, stated that the current facility had been there since 1950. He said that there would
not be any restrictions on the site if a church were to buy the property and that a funeral
home would be the highest and best use of the property.
Mr. Joe Lucas Wright, business owner at 601 West Wall Street, presented a brief history
of the Lucas Funeral Home business that was started on Main Street in the 1880's. He
said it then moved to Worth Street and then to West College Street. The old building on
the subject property needs to be restored, landscaped and the parking lot repaired. He
stated his support of the proposed rezoning and funeral home.
