CALL TO ORDER AND APPROVAL OF MINUTES
The meeting was called to order by Mayor Orton. Following a brief
moment of respectful silence, the Mayor asked if there be any amendments to the
minutes of the December 7, 1976 meeting.
City Attorney McCord requested deletion of the phrase "...as an off-site
improvement..." from paragraph 294.2. Mayor Orton requested that paragraph
297.6 be amended to reflect that she abstained from voting on the Fletcher Street
extension issue because of the fact that the residents of the street had been
informed of the Board's stand concerning the extension yet had requested to be
heard by the Board. She stated she felt the Board should not reaffirm that
stand until after Fletcher Street residents had been heard.
These changes meeting with Board approval, the minutes were declared
approved as amended.
ORDINANCE REZONING PROPERTY - R76-38 / Frisco Avenue / Mrs. Lois Cunningham
The petitioner had requested rezoning a 1.8 acre tract located on the
east side of Frisco Avenue between Adams Street and Prospect Street from R-2
Medium Density Residential to I-1 Heavy Commercial and Light Industrial. The
City Attorney read for the first time an ordinance to rezone the property as
requested.
During discussion, Director Todd stated the Board should carefully
consider the uses allowed under an I-1 classification; particularly since the
parcel was located near residential properties. In response to a question from
the Board, Mr. Ernest Jacks, Planning Commission member, stated his opinion
that the property was not useless as R-2 property and a better use of the
property would be for R-2 activity.
Mayor Orton stated she would have to consider the rezoning on the
basis of whether or not the rezoning could be defended in court. Citing
necessity for consistency in rezoning, the Mayor believed the rezoning would

constitute spot
zoning and would be in direct conflict
with
the land use plan.
She also
noted
that I-1 activity currently existing
were non
-conforming uses
and would
eventually
be phased out. She cautioned
the Board
about initiating
a trend for
I-1
uses in the predominantly residential
area.
Director Todd
observed
that a
warehouse would be a permitted use
under the
I-1 classification
and that
such a
use would result in increased truck
traffic
through the residential
area.
Mr. Charles Atkinson, legal counsel for the petitioner, stated that
notice of the proposed rezoning had been given all adjacent property owners
and that no protest had been filed. He noted that the property had been zoned
industrial until adoption of the current zoning map in recent years, and that
current activities would not seem to make the area compatible for residential
uses. Mr. Atkinson cited the existence of a natural barrier between the
property in question and residential property to the east. He also noted that
the property was not large enough to accommodate a major industry.
Director Hughes, seconded by Noland, moved rules be suspended and the
ordinance placed on second reading. The recorded vote was:
Ayes: Collier, Lancaster, Todd, Noland, Hughes, Orton, Purdy
Nays: None
The motion was declared passed and the ordinance was read the second time.
Director Hughes, seconded by Collier, moved rules be further suspended
and the ordinance placed on third and final reading. The recorded vote was:
Ayes: Collier, Lancaster, Todd, Noland, Hughes, Orton, Purdy
Nays: None
The motion was declared passed and theordinance was read the third and final time.
During further discussion, Todd questioned whether notice requirements
had been complied with since the notice of rezoning had not been posted on a
public street and had not been readily visible to residents east of the property.
The City Attorney advised that there had not been any technical violations of
the notice requirements.
Discussion completed, the Mayor asked if the ordinance should pass. The
recorded vote was:
Ayes: Collier, Lancaster, Noland, Hughes,Purdy
Nays: Todd, Orton
The Mayor declared the ordinance passed.

SIGN APPEAL - 4285 North College / Shoney's
300.6 In behalf of Shoney's Restaurant, 4285 North College, the Davis Outdoor
Sign Company had requested a variance from the maximum sign size requirements of
the Sign Ordinance to allow a 200 square foot sign.
300.7 Mr. Eddie Sullivan, representative of the sign company, asked whether
a provision of the oridnance allowing 200 square foot signs along controlled
access highways should have been deleted at the time a recent ordinance was
adopted to provide for graduated sign sizes.
300.8 The City Attorney advised the Board that, at the time the graduated
sign size amendment was adopted, the provision for larger signs along controlled
access highways had been inadvertently deleted. The Board agreed that, at the
time of the amendment in question, it had not been intended that the graduated
sign size provision would apply to controlled access highways.
300
At the Board's request, the City Attorney read an ordinance to correct
the error by stipulating a maximum of 200 square foot signs would be allowed
on property abutting a controlled access highway. Director Noland,
seconded by Lancaster, moved the ordinance be amended by stipulating such signs
would have to be located at least 40 feet from right-of-way. The recorded
vote was:

WAIVER OF RIGHT-OF-WAY REQUIREMENTS - Vandeventer Avenue/Campbell Avenue
302.9 A request had been made by the University Baptist Church for waiver
of right-of-way dedication required of large scale developments. The request
was for the waiver of five feet on each side of Vandeventer between Maple and
302
Lafayette and 13.5 feet on the west side of Campbell Avenue.
Mr. Ralph Goff was present to speak in behalf of the request. He
noted that the Church owned all property along Vandeventer between Maple and
Lafayette except one parcel and that the long range plan called for the
facility's expansion towards the university campus. Goff assured the Board
that the Church was willing to negotiate dedication of land to the City for
the purpose of reducing the "Jog" of Maple Street at Vandeventer. The possibility
of petitioning for closing Vandeventer between Maple and Lafayette had been
discussed, he said, so that the Church might have more liberty in the use of the
land on either side of the street.
Mayor Orton expressed opposition to any plans for closing Vandeventer
and for granting waivers which would preclude the street from being wider.
ts; Mr. Ernest Jacks stated that the street could still be widened within the
3Ci current right-of-way. Mayor Orton also expressed a desire that the street
rt have its two-way status reinstated. She said several persons had expressed
the desire for the two-way traffic status. Mr. Goff contended, however, that
mdc traffic travelling northwards would have to negotiate a hazardous intersection
at Maple Street.
Following discussion, Director Purdy moved that right-of-way require-
ments be waived for Vandeventer from a point south of the southernmost
right-of-way line on Maple Street (except corners on the east side), and
that the waiver be granted as requested for Campbell Street. The motion was
seconded by Director Noland. The recorded vote was:
Ayes: Collier, Lancaster, Todd, Noland, Hughes, Purdy
Nays: Orton
The motion was declared passed.

trative authority.

Board should not be concerned with the expense or inconvenience of window installa-
tion but should be concerned with the safety factors involved.
