Flower boxes, hang- ing flower baskets and park areas made convenient and attractive to tourists are included in the plans. Miss Lighton mentioned that the Community Facilities Plan which is yet to be adopted by the City Council, calls for's citizens committee to.work with the Parks and Recreation Board. Mrs. Romans' group could work to promote this aspect of the Community Facility Plan. Mrs. Romans would like to have a letter from the Planning Commission with their recommendations and approval of the project. The Planning Commission will call on Mrs. Romans' group for their cooperation when the Community Facilities Plan comes before the City Council. Mr. Yoe asked Miss Lighton to write such a letter for the Planning Commission. Mr. Palmer moved that such a letter be written. Mr. Shreve seconded the motion which passed unanimously. 2. Mr. Parish presented tentative drawings of his proposed shopping center. He requested the opening of Lindell to Holly to give the shopping center an out- let (in accordance with the Planning Commission's recommendation of January 17, 1961). Mr. Palmer commended Mr. Parish for his plans and moved that we recommend to the City Council approval of opening of Lindell from the shopping center area north to Holly Street. Miss Lighton seconded the motion which passed unanimously. Mrs. Guadalajara asked the height on the building facing Garland. Mr. Parish said the building would be one story and have a setback of approximately 100 feet. The sign for the shopping center would have a setback of approximately 150 feet. The shopping center would be separated from the residences to the north by curbing, planters and four -foot cyclone fence supporting roses. Mrs. Wiggins asked what businesses could go in, and she was reassured that no liquor stores were allowed in this zone. Mrs. Hathcock asked about the traffic light which had been recommended for North and Garland. She thought more traffic would be brought into the area before these safety precautions were being taken and that perhaps the safety measures should be taken first. 50 Minutes of September 5, 1961 • Miss Lighton explained that we can only recommend to the City Council and that the Planning Commission had asked that North Street be opened and a stop light be installed at North and Garland at the time the area was recommended for re- zoning. The City Council, Planning Commission and Chamber of Commerce had asked the Highway Department to open North Street so that we hoped it would become a fact in the near future. Mr. Vernon Wilson presented the plans for his laundromat which will front on three sides, each having a forty -foot setback since he fronts on three sides. Members of the Planning Commission believe the Board of Adjustment can grant Mr. Wilson variance on his setback line, however, the City Council asked that no permits be granted for buildings facing Mt. Comfort Road, Mr. Caudle moved that we recommend to the City Council that the Mt. Comfort Road be deleted from the Major Street Plan from Garland to Oakland and thst the Planning Commission did not intend for it to be included. Mr. Palmer seconded the motion. The motion carried. Mr. Palmer moved that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council the closing of Mt. Comfort Road from Garland to the east line of Austin Parish's property and open North Street as soon as possible. Mr. Caudle seconded the motion. The motion carried. The members of the Planning Commission thought Mr. Lieberenz could proceed as if North Street were open and Lindell or North would be the front of Mr. Wils • building. • 3. Mr. Johnnie Bassett's South Sunny Acres Subdivision. The preliminary plat was approved April 4, however, it was learned on May 31 that there was a subdivision farther south and that his two streets which run north and south should be plan- ned to connect with Neil Ingles subdivision in the future. Miss Lighton moved that we resind action taken on May 31 in regard to Mr. J. Bassettts plat and that we recommend changing of the plat to show the extension of Lonnie south from Berry Street and of Leland south from Berry Street through Block 3, Lot 5 with the provision that Mr. Bassett not be required to open or improve these two extensions nor be required to provide turn-arounds. Mr. J. F. Palmer seconded the motion which carried. 4. North Ridge Subdivision. Mr. Lieberenz then presented the problem of proposed right-of-way location for sewer for this subdivision. Mr. Palmer moved that we not make an exception to the 50 -foot requirement for street right-of-way. Miss Lighton moved the following amendment to the motion: providing Ottis Watson, owner of North Ridge Subdivision, dedicate a street through lot 24 from the north end of the proposed street to connect with Elm in line with Austin Avenue. Mr. 'Caidle moved a second amendment to the motion: any time the street is operBd from Ash to Elm, the adjoining property owners must file plats in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance.
