to consider expanding the South Ballard Overlay from South Ballard Avenue to
Birmingham Street, and from College Street south to Jackson Circle. The property
north of College Street is zoned Commercial Corridor. The buffer could be College
and South Jackson Avenue. Ms. 011ie asked the Commissioners for their input
regarding development type, whether residential, commercial or a mix.
Commissioner Tapp excused herself from the meeting, due to prior commitment.
The Commissioners discussed the narrow roadway, and lack of storm sewer
infrastructure and how drainage would be addressed. They further suggested that
street treatment beautification be considered. The Commissioners were in consensus
to expand the boundary line from Birmingham Street to Highway 78.
One of the options was to have the unimproved alleyway from Ballard Avenue to
South Jackson Avenue turned into a paved alleyway.
The Commissioners discussed having a park in the middle of the neighborhood. One
of the possibilities was for the undeveloped lots off South Jackson Avenue and where
the current Christian Care Center property is on South Ballard Avenue.
