Motion carried, all voting aye.
DISCUSSION/ACTION ON ZONING CASE NO. 060901 A motion was made by Gary Spraggins and seconded by Pamela Clayton to approve a request by Owner/Tim Kelty to rezone property located on Gilmer Street, the portion of Lot 20A-R being combined with lot 4A, Block 47-2 of the Gilmer Hill Addition, from Heavy Commercial (HC) to Light Commercial (LC). The plat presented for the Gilmer Hill Addition combined a portion of Lot 20A-R with Lot 4A. Lot 4A is currently zoned Light Commercial (LC) so the owner requested that portion of 20A-R combined with 4A be zoned the same. Motion carried all voting aye.
DISCUSSION/ACTION FINAL PLAT – HERITAGE BUSINESS PARK A motion was made by Craig Roberts and seconded by Gary Spraggins to approve a request by Roger Feagley/Sulphur Springs/Hopkins County EDC to replat property located on the East side of Compactor Rd (CR 3502) and North of St. Louis and Southwestern Railroad, being further described as Tract 57-55 and Part of 57-04 Abstract 585 into one tract. The motion before the Board was to approve the plat with the recommendation that the road serving this industrial park be brought up to City standards. City standards for Commercial/Industrial developments require a 44’ curb and gutter street. The EDC was requesting that the plat be approved with a 34’ street with bar ditches on each side. Staff advised the Board that they had three options, one being that they approve the motion with the 44’ street with curb and gutter street, two, that they approve with the 34’ street with bar ditches on each side or three, to deny the request and let Mr. Feagley and the EDC appeal to the City Council. The motion set by the Board was to approve with the recommendation that the street be brought up to City standards for Commercial/Industrial developments. Motion carried, all voting aye.
DISCUSSION/ACTION FINAL PLAT – COLEMAN PARK ESTATES PHASE I A motion was made by Gary Spraggins and seconded by Bryan Baier to approve a request by Owner/Developer David Watson to subdivide property located South of Lincoln Heights Addition, being further described as part of Lot 7-01, Block 215 into twenty lots. The Board approved the request with the stipulation that the engineered drawings be produced and the execution of a Community Facilities Contract be entered into with the City. Motion carried, all voting aye.
DISCUSSION/ACTION ZBA CASE NO. 060901 A motion was made by Gary Spraggins and seconded by Pamela Clayton to deny the request by Brandi Leber for a Special Use Permit for property located at 1050 Gilmer St., being further described as Lots 5 & 6, Block 204-1 to operate a drive thru tobacco shop. The Board expressed concern over the fact that a Special Use Permit was issued to Higher Grounds Coffee on June 18, 2002 (ZBA Case No. 020601) for a temporary building to be used as a drive thru coffee shop. Ultimately, this did not work out for the business owner, but the building is still on the property. The Board felt that at this time it is in the best interest of the community to develop this corner lot with a permanent structure and not to issue another permit for temporary use. Brandi Leber spoke and asked that if a permanent structure were to be developed on the site, was approval more likely. The Board informed her that the question was not about the tobacco shop as a business but as the building being used as a temporary facility once again. Motion carried all voting aye.
ANY OTHER BUSINESS: There was no other business to discuss.
ADJOURN: A motion was made by Pamela Clayton and seconded by Bryan Baier to adjourn the meeting of September 19, 2006 at 7:45 P.M. Motion carried, all voting aye. |
