CONDUCT PUBLIC HEARING ON THE REQUEST FOR RE-ZONING FOR MULTI
ZONING ON 158 ACRES OUT OF THE ALLEN ATTERBURY SURVEY ABSTRACT
23 (COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE THIRSK PROPERTY) : Chairman Brian
Chaney asked Roy Faires to give some information on this item
before opening the public hearing. Mr. Faires located the
Thirsk property on the map. He stated that this property is
zoned under the old SF1 and SF2 which corresponds with our
present SF2 and SF3. What the developers are propsing is to
rezone 57 acres to SF1, 22 acres to SF2, 67 acres to SF3, 5. 7
acres to Retail and 6. 5 acres to Business. Mr. Faires stated
as a member of the staff he would recommend approval of this
zoning as requested. The Public Hearing was opened at this
time by Chairman Brian Chaney for anyone who wished to speak
in favor of this item. Mr. William Kaufram of Master Plan
addressed the commission. Mr. Kaufram noted their company had
been working with Thirsk on the planning of this property.
Mr. Kaufrarn stated that after meeting with Mr. Faires, the
previous City Manager and the current City Manager and
obtaining information about the city' s master plan, current
zoning and other information they have tried to take the key
points in the city' s comprehensive plans and work them in
while matching the surrounding zoning so the zoning they touch
the neighbors with will be equal to or of higher zoning. Mr.
Kaufram pointed out on the map where they were planning the
zoning of retail and business. He stated they were trying to
buffer their business from the existing residential with their
own residential and what they are proposing is a plan that
meets the criteria of providing a variety of housing types,
meets the zoning of the surrounding properties and would
provide a development that would be a credit to the city.
Chairman Brian Chaney asked if anyone else would like to speak
for this item. James Griffin asked if there were any
provisions for parks. Mr. Chaney informed Mr. Griffin that
this would be taken up during the platting of this property
and not during the zoning. Marty Stovall asked what the ratio
of people per house was. Mr. Faires stated according to Cog
it was 2. 75. Marty Stovall asked if layout of the lot' s
property lines of the SF1 would go to the center of the creek.
Mr. Faires informed him that would be a platting matter and we
were only considering zoning tonight. Chairman Brian Chaney
asked if anyone would like to speak against this item. No one
addressed the commission. Mr. Chaney closed the public
hearing.
