The following members of the Con -mission were present, to wit: Sharron Spencer Chairman Ron Cook Vice Chairman Harlen Joyce Member Tom Powers Member Klee Hawkins Member Gerald Norman Member constituting a quorum, with Member Mrs. Ann Glynn having resigned prior to the meting, relevant to husband, Mr.Jim Glynn's, election and subsequent assumption of the Place 3, City Council position this same evening.

Baddaker Director of Public Works Steve Richardson City Planner Doug Eberhart Engineer Joy Welch Secretary Chairman Spencer called the meting to order at approximately 8:45 P.M., following the Joint Public Hearing in the Council Chambers, 413 Main Street, and advised those present of the procedures and purposes of the meeting. ZONING APPLICATION Z83-11 - CHRIS BROOKS, DVM The first item for consideration by the Commission for the purpose of making a recommendation to the City Council was Zoning Application Z83-11 submitted by Dr. Chris Brooks. In the earlier public hearing session, Mr. Baddaker explained that the application was to rezone .5 acres, the location of which being Lot 1, and part of Lots 2-4, Block 1, of the W. C. Lucas Addition from the present "S -P" Specific Use for a grass sales and landscaping business to the proposed "S -P" Site Plan for the construction and operation of a veterinary hospital with animals being kept overnight during periods of treatment and not to be a kennel and further providing for the operation of a landscaping and grass sales establishment. He further informed those present that the Master Plan's recommended use is for commercial purposes. Mr. Baddaker then introduced Mr. Lou Hillman, a local realtor, who advised those present and indicated on the site plan, the proposed location of the veterinary clinic, the landscaping -grass sales location, and the proposed strip -shopping area, all of which, he said, would be compatible with the requested commercial zoning category. Commission Member Harlen Joyce and Chairman Spencer questioned Mr. Hillman relative to a large number of vehicles consistently being parked on the grass sales property. There was a lengthy discussion, during which Dr. Brooks expressed a desire to eliminate the request for the landscaping -grass sales business from the site plan. City Attorney Boyle and Mayor Tate advised Mr. Brooks and his associates that it would be necessary to revise the site plan before the final portion of the Council Meeting following the Planning and Zoning Com-nission consideration and their subsequent recommendation to the Council. P&Z Regular Meeting 4-19-83 Page 2 Mr. Jessie Woods, a neighboring property owner, spoke in favor of the zoning change for the purpose of the veterinary clinic; however, Mr. Woods suggested that the applicant should clarify, in writing, that there would be no outdoor kennels, outdoor runs or any outdoor housing of animals. Dr. Brooks concurred with Mr. Woods, indicating that it was never his intention to permit any of the uses objected to by Mr. Woods. Four letters were received prior to the meting from neighboring property owners Lois Buckner, Mike Ross, and Doil Dalton, all in favor of the request for replat. In the Commission portion of the meting, there was a lengthy discussion relative to traffic problems possibly being created by the location of the drive on the site plan. It was the general consensus of the Commission and City Staff Members, Mr. Eberhart and Mr. Richardson that the drive should be moved. Specifically, Vice Chairman Cook indicated that the same "no right turn" situation would possibly result as had the car wash business on Northwest Highway even though there would not likely be a comparable amount of traffic generated by the veterinary business. The Commission advised the applicant to agree to table Zoning Application Z83-11 to allow sufficient time to revise the site -plan and to incorporate the following Commission suggestion: to move the clinic as far to the westerly edge of the site plan, further from Lucas, to enable drives to be further apart while providing room for more parking spaces, which, would permit adequate spaces should there be future expansion. In response to Dr. Brooks' question relative to front and side yard requirements for this district, Mr. Richardson advised that the front setback should be 25 feet, but no side yard would be required if no openings or windows existed in the sides of the building. The applicant indicated that he did not wish to table the request for rezoning at the present time. There being no further discussion, Chairman Spencer called for a motion. Member Joyce made a motion to deny the request. The motion failed for lack of a second. Following further discussion, Member Joyce again moved to deny the request. Vice Chairman Cook seconded the motion which resulted in the following tie vote: Ayes: Spencer, Cook and Joyce Nays: Powers, Hawkins and Norman Chairman Spencer advised those present that a tie vote constitutes a denial according to City Attorney Boyle. The next item for consideration by the Commission was the Replat of Lot 2, Block 1 of Rolling Hills Lane Addition for the purpose of making a recommendation to the City Council. In the earlier public hearing session, Mr. Baddaker advised those present that the replat proposes to split Lot 2 into two, one-half acre lots and that the plat conform to all subdivision and "R-1" zoning requirements. Mr. Baddaker, then gave a brief history of the subject Pool Road property, advising that no deed restrictions had been recorded and he further advised that one petition having 16 signatures had been received from area property owners, though not adjoining owners. P&Z Regular Meeting 4-19-83 Page 3 During this portion of the meeting, affidavits from two Rolling Hills residents were received expressing approval of the requested replat. Mr. Baddaker introduced the applicant, Mr. C. L. Madden, who in answer to questions from. Mayor Tate and Chairman Spencer, indicated that there were residents on the subject lots and that his home was situated on Lot 2 A -R. Mr. Madden also advised that every lot behind his property was one-half (2) acre in size. City Attorney Boyle advised that the only legal recourse available to objecting property owners to constitute a basis for denial of the request for replat would be deed restrictions. In this instance, deed restrictions were not located and no adjoining property owners had signed the petition requesting replat denial. The City Secretary read into the record a letter from. Zeta Crews who expressed disapproval of the zoning change request. Those present to request denial of the replat were J. T. Davis of 3122 Rolling Hills Lane, Jack Billington of 3407 Rolling Hills Lane, an adjacent property owner to the east of the applicant's property, David Briggs of 3412 Rolling Hills Lane, Ronnie Clark, 3218 Rolling Hills Lane, located across the street and to the north, Cathy Cooper of 3526 Rolling Hills Lane, Bob Burrus of 3131 Rolling Hills Lane, located at the dead end of the street and Maria Hill of 3309 Rolling Hills Lane. In the Commission's portion of the meting, this item was postponed until last, in order to move the meting to the Conference Room to confer with the City Attorney relative to this item.
