Baddaker Director of Public Works Doug Eberhart Engineer Steve Richardson City Planner Joy Welch Secretary Chairman Spencer called the meting to order and explained the purposes and procedures of the meting. OLD BUSINESS APPEAL - JOE WRIGHT - PICKERING PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT The Commission was first to consider an appeal by Joe Wright relative to the revised site plan of the Pickering Property and make a recoffmenda- tion to the City Council prior to the City Council's public hearing for the Waiver of Moratorium request for the subject property. Ph% Wright addressed the Commission and requested that they determine if the present site plan is more acceptable than the old. Further he explained that the Commission had tabled the item at the August 16, 1983, meting for further legal clarification. Zoning on the property was changed to "PUD" in the early 1970's, and further, Mr. Wright explained that changes in adjoining property (an addition of a 7 acre park on Kimball Road) affected the original plan. In reviewing the new site plan, Mr. Wright advised that the overall density for the 57.4 acres of multi -fan -Lily, 9.4 acres of single-family attached, and 73.1 acres of single family detached (a total of 150.9 acres) would be approximately 7.93 units per acres. It was noted that the City Attorney had determined that it would be necessary for Mr. Wright to institute a new zoning case to jffplemnt the proposed changes to the site plan, principally because the new revised plan switches the locations of the proposed single-family and the proposed multi -family alterating the basic relationship of the proposed developuent to adjacent property. Further, was a lengthy discussion related to Ordinance interpretation and to determine if stating the revised site plan was significantly different from the original constituted an amendment to the old plan. Then Vice Chairman Cook's motion stated that the City Staff had been correct not to recommend approval of the the revised site plan, and Harlen Joyce seconded the motion, which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Spencer, Cook, Joyce and Powers Nays: Norman Abstain: Wilbanks Absent: Atkins P&Z Minutes 10-18-83 Page 2 Zl=- The next item for consideration by the Commission for the purpose of making a recommendation to the City Council was Zoning Application Z83-26 submitted by Manufacturer's Outlet Center.

Mr. Hardy, Building Official, had reported that a $200.00 per day fine each day of a separate offense could be issued, and the general consensus of the Commission was to do so.
