MINUTES The minutes of the January 14 Planning Commission meeting were amended to read John Power as appointee to the Subdivision Committee rather "than John Lineberger in the first paragraph of Page 6. MAGUIRE DISTRIBUTING COMPANY Conditional Use Request The second item on the agenda was the Conditional ,East Gate Shopping Center Use Request submitted by Maguire Distributing Company to park refrigerated trucks on the South parking lot of East Gate Shopping Center. (Use Unit 21, Warehousing & Wholesale, is a conditional use permissible on appeal to the Planning Commission in the C-2, Thoroughfare Commercial District. Use Unit 21 lists, among other uses, "warehouses, trucking establishments, wholesale establishments.") The request was tabled at the last meeting until a request could be put in writing and until the surrounding property owners and businesses could be notified. Planning Administrator Bobbie Jones said the Planning Office had asked for names and adresses of the surrounding businesses and only the name and address of the property owner was returned to them. Helen Edmiston felt that this should be left on the table until the surrounding businesses could be notified. In answer to a question asked by Chairman Gitelman, Bobbie Jones said that the Foremost Dairy, which had electrical hookups on N. College on Horton's Service Station lot had gone through the Planning Commission in order to do this same thing. No one was present to oppose or represent the request. There was no further discussion. The public hearing was concluded. • FRANK L. DOUGHTY, JR. The public hearing. was opened .on a.request .for Tandem Lot approval of a single family dwelling on a tandem lot :.340 Williams Drive which was submitted by'Frank L. Doughty, Jr. for property at 340 Williams Drive. Ernest Jacks said he lived near this area and this had been going on for a long time and apparently he himself was responsible for getting the tandem lot provisions adopted in the first place Chairman Gitelman commented that it looked as though it met all the tandem lot requirements. Bobbie Jones, Planning Administrator, said Mr. Mattke (City Engineer) felt the conventional gravity sewer could not be used here and that he • • Planning Commission -2- January 28, 1975 recommended instead putting a grinder sewer pump system such as The Farmer's Daughter Restaurant was using. He also .mentioned that there was a slight error in the legal description. Ernest Jacks said Mr. Doughty had obtained several quit claim deeds around the edges of this property. He also said he could not understand why there would be objections to septic tanks in this area since the slope was good. Ernest Jacks moved to approve this as a tandem lot development. Helen Edmiston seconded the motion. Chairman Gitelman felt that all the Planning Commission could do would be to determine whether or not it met the tandem lot requirements. There was no further discussion. The motion was approved unanimously by a vote of 9-0. REPLAT OF BLOCK 1 Sweetbriar Addition The last item on the agenda was a replat of Block 1, Planned Unit Development Sweetbriar Addition (19th Green) and a Planned Unit (19th Green) Development, submitted by Hyland Park, Inc. Ernest Jacks gave the Subdivision Committee Report. He said there was really no problem with the replat. He noted that there was a change from Block 16 to Lot 16 which had already been done by Engineer Neal Albright. Helen Edmiston wondered why there was a 25 foot easement shown on both the East and West sides of the plat and commented she felt this was an excess. However, she said this was not a problem concerning the Planning Commission's approval of the replat. There was no further discussion. Ernest Jacks moved to approve the replat of Sweetbriar Addition, Block 1 with the change of Block 16 to Lot 16. Donald Nickell seconded the motion. It was voted upon and approved by a vote of 8-0. Helen Edmiston abstained. OTHER BUSINESS A discussion was opened concerning the By-laws of the By -Laws Planning Commission under "other business." Originally the By -Laws called for 1 regular meeting a month but the Commission had been having a second special meeting most months.When the By -Laws were amended in 1973 they were changed to 2 regular meetings per month. Ernest Jacks felt that this should be changed back to one regular meeting a month. Donald Nickell wondered if one regular meeting and one special meeting a month wouldn't take care of it. Rita Davis commented that last year every meeting lasted from 12-2 hours per meeting. Ernest Jacks felt the state of the economy had slowed down their work load. David McWethy, Administrative Aide, mentioned that the City calendar for 1975 had already been printed with 2 regular meetings per month. It was decided that the By -Laws would be left worded as they are presently, but that when there was a short agenda the Planning Office should contact the Chairman of the Planning Commission to see if these items could be put off until the next Planning Commission meeting. The people concerned and the news media would also be notified if there was not to be a meeting.
