CONSIDER RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL FOR NEW AND UNLISTED
USE FOR FEED STORE WITH OUTSIDE SALES. City Manager, John
Pitstick, explained to the board that Doug Poole, owner of
Poole Feed Supply, was given a specific use permit for
outside sales for landscaping materials , which created a new
use in the zoning ordinance, and that staff was asking the
board to recommend an appropriate zoning for outside sales
to city council . Mr . Pitstick' s recommendation was B-1 or
greater . Code Enforcement Officer , Roy Faires , stated that
only limited outside sales were permitted in B-1 zoning , and
that he had informed Mr . Poole at the time he rented the
space, that outside sales were prohibited .
Chairman Chaney said that the board could specify guidelines
on specific use, such as , what could be sold , what could be
stored ouside, how much, and whatever regulations were
appropriate.
Mr . Stovall made a motion that the board recommend to city
council that the use for the feed store for outside sales be
under specific use in B-1 zoning . The motion was seconded
by Ms . Wood. Motion carried with all in favor .
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL FOR THE
FINAL PLAT - LOT 3R BLOCK 35 TRINITY POINT (LOCATED ON SH 78
AT BIRMINGHAM ST. ) . City Manager , John Pitstick, explained
that the Chapman property was coming forward with a final
plat , and that they were dedicating proper dedication for
right-of-way on Hwy 78 and the city was dedicating ten feet
on Calloway St .
Mr . Skipwith asked if the ten feet the city is dedicating
would become part of the property when approved by council .
Mr . Pitstick said it would , and that fifty feet would be
adequate for Calloway St . , as it is a residential collector
street .
Mr . Skipwith made a motion that the board recommend approval
of the plat as submitted. Mr. Peddicord seconded the
motion . Motion carried with all in favor .
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL FOR THE
FINAL PLAT OF LOT 58 , POINTE NORTH ADDITION (LOCATED WEST
BROWN ST. AT N. WINDING OAKS DR. ) . City Manager, John
Pitstick, explained that this was a replat , where less than
one acre was being subdivided, and that the subdivision
ordinance requires full dedication and full perimeter street
fees . He said the applicant is requesting that he only have
to pay for his part of the perimeter street fees . Mr .
Pitstick also explained that this is a simple replat and the
only question is the perimeter street fees along the entire
portion of the frontage of the property.
Chairman Chaney said that perimeter street fees make sense
in a subdivision, but not on commercial property, when the
same person doesn' t own the whole piece of property. Mr .
Pitstick said the fees for the whole frontage would be
$19 ,485 .92 and only $3 ,217 .50 for the street just in front
of the applicant' s property.
Code Enforcement Officer , Roy Faires , said that a
recommendation could be made to council that they approve
the replat with the stipulation that the applicant have a
signed agreement with the owner that the owner pay the rest
of the street fees upon development, whether he decides to
subdivide or not .
Mr . Peddicord made a motion to recommend to council the
approval of the replat with the stipulation that the
applicant have a signed agreement with the owner that the
owner pay the remainder of the street fees upon development ,
whether he decides to subdivide or not . The motion was
seconded by Mr . Skipwith. Motion carried with all in favor .
PARK BOARD PRESENTATION OF PROPOSED LANDSCAPE ORDINANCE.
City Manger, John Pitstick, explained that Joanie Zeeb, of
the Park Board , was at the meeting to make a presentation of
the proposed landscape ordinance. He said that staff
supports the ordinance from a philosophical standpoint , but
has questions on administering it .
Ms . Zeeb, of the Park Board, said that a landscape ordinance
was presented to planning and zoning a year ago, but that
this was a much more simplified ordinance. She said that
the ordinance basically calls for a ten foot wide strip
between the street and parking lot , a tree every one hundred
feet , and ten extra points . She also said the ordinance
explains what is required to obtain the ten extra points .
Ms . Zeeb said that the Park Board feels that the only way to
ensure that the city will get prettier , is to adopt a
landscpae ordinance for commercial properties . Ms. Zeeb
explained that the Park Board felt the need for input from
the Chamber of Commerce and local businesses .
Mr . Peddicord agreed with the concept , but was concerned
with enforcemnet of the ordinance, and felt like it needed
to be consolidated and not so detailed .
Mr. Pitstick felt that the city could start on a smaller
scale and with a minimum ordinance, and add to it as the
city grows . He said that it might be a good idea to
schedule a workshop with planning and zoning , park board ,
and the chamber of commerce, to get input before the
ordinance goes before council .
Ms . Wood felt that the whole idea of forcing a landscape
ordinance on businesses was very hypocritical , when all the
city property looks so bad .
Mr . Pitstick explained that the council had approved a
fulltime park employee to be hired in February, who would be
totally responsible for taking care of city property.
DISCUSSION OF THE MASTER LAND USE PLAN. Chairman Chaney
asked if the planning and zoning board needed to specify
SF1, SF2 , and SF3 along the Maxwell Creek area. City
Manager , John Pitstick, said that his recommendation would
be to only specify single family and then later designate
the size homes , as the city is looking for general land use
plan at this time. Mr. Pitstick added that when development
starts , the city can better determine how much SF1, SF2 , and
SF3 is needed.
Mr . Stovall asked about the possibility of industrial coming
in on FM 544 . Mr. Pitstick said that if the board
recommends industrial , it automatically eliminates
residential , but if residential is recommended, the
developer must convince the board that industrial would be
better .
GENERAL DISCUSSION. Ms . Wood asked what the status was on
Springcreek Parkway and Sanden Blvd . City Manager , John
Pitstick, said that bids had been sought for Sanden Blvd . ,
and that Springcreek Parkway was still up in the air .
Chairman Chaney asked what happened with Mr . Minyard' s
lawsuit . Code Enforcement Officer , Roy Faires replied that
the city lost the suit , and Mr. Minyard' s property is
officially outside the city limits . Mr . Pitstick explained
that it was lost on two counts; conflict of interest and
improper filing .
Ms . Wood asked if the petition circulating around town for
liquor sales passed, in what zoning a liquor store would be.
Mr . Pitstick said it would be a matter of deciding what
zoning to put it in for a specific use.
ADJOURN. There being no other business , Ms . Wood made a
motion to adjourn . The motion was seconded by Mr .
Peddicord, with all in favor .
