PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING
MINUTES
FEBRUARY 19, 1990
The Planning and Zoning Commission met in regular session on
Monday, February 19, 1990, in the Council Chambers of the
Municipal Complex . A quorum was present and notice of the
meeting had been posted in the time and manner required by
law. Members present were Chairman Brian Chaney, Cecelia
Wood, Bob Skipwith, Bobby Jennings, Richard Eckman and Jim
Ferguson. Staff members present were Building Official Roy
Faires, Code Enforcement Officer Edward Richie and Secretary
Sandy Stevens.
Chairman Brian Chaney called the meeting to order.
Chairman Brian Chaney welcomed Ed Richie to the staff .
DISCUSSION OF LANDSCAPE ORDINANCE. Chairman Brian Chaney
asked Roy Faires if the city had any comments about the
landscape ordinance. Mr. Faires replied that this meeting
was set up for discussion due to discrepancies between the
landscape ordinance and certain city ordinances. After much
discussion and input by all members, the decision was
reached to draw up a more basic plan using percentages
against lot sizes for landscaping requirements, therefore
not needing to change any zoning ordinances.
Mr. Faires commented that the Code Enforcement Department is
due to add another member to its staff . He also added that
the department has a great deal more competency than its had
in the past two years. Mr. Faires stated that his secretary,
Sandy Stevens, is becoming more knowledgeable in the field
and therefore assuming more of the administrative duties
(things which in the past have always required his personal
attention) without his or Mr. Richie' s assistance. As a
result of these factors, the Department has more time than
it had in the past, to apply toward Code Enforcement.
ADJOURN. The motion was made for adjournment by Cecelia
Wood and seconded by Bob Skipwith with all members in favor.
Brian Chaney, Chairman
Respectfully Submitted,
Sandy Stevens, Secretary
