REZONING: An ordinance rezoning property as
Rezoning Petition R89-32.
Size of Parcel:
Location: North
Salem Road
16.84 acres
requested in
of Hwy 16 West on the east and west sides of
Petitioner: Bob Davis
Change Requested: From R-2 "Medium Density Residential" to
C-2 "Thoroughfare Commercial"
Planning Commission Action: Recommended approval by 5-3-0
ote to rezone the eastern section of the property (to the
east side of the road dividing it) and leave the western
portion as it is presently zoned.
The initial motion was to approve the rezoning. However, the
vote was tied at 4-4-0 with Ozment, Seiff, Hanna, and Allred
voting for and Springborn, Jacks, Cleghorn, and Klingaman
voting against the motion. It takes 5 positive votes to
approve a rezoning petition, so the motion failed.

unsightly conditions and the razing and removal of unsafe
structures located at 1723-1725 West Mitchell.
The Staff recommends approval of this ordinance. The
ordinance was left on its 1st reading at the November 7 Board
meeting. The condemnation is requested for the vacant,
dilapidated, and unsafe building owned by Myrtle Winkle and
Madeline Tribble.

DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE
TO: Fayetteville City Board of Directors
FROM: Scott C. Linebaugh, Assistant City Manage,4°Q(
DATE: December 7, 1989
SUBJECT: Request for Payment of Attorney's Fees Concerning
Incinerator Disengagement
Attached to this memorandum, you will find three (3) statements for
services rendered by attorneys concerning the incinerator
disengagement. The first statement is for the Niblock Law Firm for
legal services performed from October 1, 1989 through November 16,
1989. It totals $18,440.52. The second statement is from
McDermott, Will and Emery for legal services performed from June
through July 31, 1989. It totals $26,668.53. The third statement
is also from McDermott, Will and Emery for legal services performed
from July 1, through October 31, 1989. It totals $58,661.41.
(Although there is an overlap of the dates shown on the two
statements from McDermott, Will and Emery I can find no duplication
of charges. I confirmed this with Mr. Tom Ingoldsby.) I have also
requested from McDermott, Will and Emery monthly billings from this
point onward. -
These statements represent the second set of billings relative to
the City's defense in its current lawsuit with Mr. Robson. As you
are aware, the estimated figure given to the Board was $500,000 for
attorney's fees to defend the City in this lawsuit if we are
successful on the first level. We have previously paid the
Niblock Law Firm $33,657.66 for defending the City. Mr. Jerry Rose
or I will be glad to get any further information or answer any
questions you may have concerning this issue.
