CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE AMENDMENT TO ORDINANCE 8'f&.r-6O
WHICH CREATED THE BENEQICT ESTATES PLANKD UNIT DEVELOPMENT&
ADDING a TEMPORARY BUILDING FQR A SALES OFFICE AS AN
AQDITIONAL PERMITTED USE: Chairman Brian Chaney asked Mr.
Faires to comment an this item. Mr. Faires noted that the
Planned Unit Development was designed to be a deviation of the
normal zoning categories. Mr. Faires added that Benedict
Estates which has now been changed to Stone Grove is in the
PUD zoning and the ordinance which created the PUD permitted
certain uses that were not allowed in the regular zoning
ordinances. Mr. Faires told the commission that construction
had begun on seven model homes by seven different builders who
were not affiliated with each other except through the Stone
Grove Builders Association. He also said that since our
present zoning ordinance requires that a real estate office be
in a model home these seven builders were requesting an
amendment to this ordinance for a temporary sales office. Mr.
Faires added that since this was a Planned Unit Development
this request could be listed as one of the permitted uses. He
also went on the say that since these homes were of the
$125, 000 plus range and built by seven different builders to
have a sales office in any one particular unit would give that
builder an advantage over the others. Mr. Faires told the
commission that he saw no harm in this request and that we
should probably grant this amendment. Bart Peddicord asked
Mr. Faires if he knew where they were going to put this sales
office. Mr. Faires said it would be placed on lot 1009 W.
Foxwood Lane. Chairman Brian Chaney asked what type of time
restraint would be placed on these offices. Mr. Faires noted
that the usual time restraint was two years. Cecilia Wood
asked what type of structure was going to be placed there as a
sales office. Mr. Faires said it was the same type they had
for lot sales on Stone Road. Bob Skipwith asked if they were
going to put an individual sales person in each model home.
Mr. Faires said they were not and that they have an agreement
to not sell these models for around eighteen months. Bob
Skipwith asked if Mr. Faires felt that they would be setting
some type of presidence if they accepted this amendment. Mr.
Faires noted that the only person who could request this would
be one building in a Planned Unit Development. Chairman Brian
Chaney closed the public hearing.
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
AMENDMENT TO ORDINANCE 85-60 ADDING A TEMPORARY BUILDING FOR A
SALES OFFICE AS AN ADDITIONAL PERMITTED USE: Bob Skipwith
stated that in this type of subdivision that a sales office
like this one would hurt the builders if left up to long and
that for this reason he felt like they would try to have it
out of there as soon as possible. Mr. Chaney noted that he
did want to see a time limit put on this amendment and that
with the size of the homes and cost of lots that he did not
feel they would be setting a presidence. Marty Stovall asked
if this sales office was already set up in this development.
Mr. Faires noted that it used to be but that it had been moved
and stated that they wanted the sales office to be close to
the models so people could access them easily. Marty Stovall
asked if they wanted this sales office until their models were
built. Mr. Faires said no. Brian Chaney added that since
there were seven builders he felt they didn' t want to go to
the cost of staffing seven different homes with one sales
office but would rather hire one sales person to show these
models. Bart Peddicord asked what time limit they were
recommending. Brian Chaney noted that two years was standard.
Bob Skipwith moved that they recommend to the City Council
that a sales office could be set up in this PUD for a period
not to exceed two years. Bart Peddicord seconded this motion.
This motion passed with all in favor.
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR WESTGATE TERRACE:
Chairman Brian Chaney noted that this was the item that had
been brought to them at the previous meeting and asked Mr.
Faires to tell the commission of the changes. Mr. Faires
showed the commission the plat which he noted they had seen
before except with one minor change which was the relocation
of Fleming Street where they had requested it to be placed.
Brian Chaney asked if the R. O. W. was all on their property.
Mr. Faires said it was and that everything had been checked
with engineering and everything is correct and that he
strongly recommends this item for approval. Cecilia Wood made
the motion to recommend the Preliminary Plat for Westgate
Terrace for approval to the City Council. This motion was
seconded by Marty Stovall. This motion passed with all in
favor.
