City Attorney, Shatford,advised that City should have an Ordinance requiring an affidavit be filed stating that property will not besplit for selling and that approval of plot plan is subject to the recording of a statement to the effect that owner will not split the property. He continued that restrictions imposed by the City can be removed by the City in the future. Mr. Shatford said that specifications for lot splits should be set forth more specifically, and City Manager asked that commission indicate what additional information they desired on a plot plan. 6. PROPOSED AERIAL SURVEY AN0 ENGINEERING WORK: M. 1'!. Finley Company. City Manager, Woollett, explained to the commissioners that due to an incorrect interpretation of their letter, it was originally thoughtthat M. W. Finley Co. would pay the $1750.00 cost for flying survey. However, another correspondence outlined the costs as follows: flying- - $1`_)50.00; Ground Control-- $1250.0O; Map with ratio of 1- 100 -- $742.x'3; acetate--$198.00. Only contribution of Finley Company is that the company will not be making any money on the deal, and will be giving its own services. Mr. Woollett continued that an aerial of 1 -100 with a superimposed cadastre map would show all information plus zoning. Such maps will be accurate within the scope of reaps presently in existence, commented Mr. Shatford. Mr. Woollett explained that this aerial survey work can be part of the 701 Project if entered into after 701 is initiated. He continued that sufficient funds are available in the State for the 701 Program, and that of the City's contribution of $10,000 up to 50% could be contributed in labor and /or materials. He continued that by hiring an administrative assistant who would spend 50% of his time on the Master Plan for 12 years with 2 of his salary charged to the Master Plan for 13 years, the City would have to deposit only $)000.00 for a $36,000.00 program. Chairman Pursley recommended that the aerial survey be part of City's con - tribution to 701 and added that this phase of the project should be bid. Motion to get three more bids before accepting the Finley Company proposition was made, seconded and carried unanimously. 7. NUMBER OF CHICKENS THAT CONSTITUTE A NUISANCE: City Manager William Woollett, read a letter from Regional Planning Commission concerning an inspection of the premises at 9732 Val Street where approximately 100 chickens are kept for non- commercial purposes, and therefore, not considered as a violation of the Zoning Ordinance. Mr, Woollett advised the Commission that this matter had been placed on the agenda for the Commission's consideration and recommendation of the manner in which this kind of problem may be handled in 1 1 11-7-60 the future. Zoning Ordinance does not cope with this type of problem adequate l y, because it does not l i m i t the number of fowl permitted. Mr. Hoiden advised that the Ordinance does not say,very much about chickens in particular. City Attorney suggested that unless this is a major problem at the present time, it could be included in a new zoning ordinance. Commissioner Harker made a motion that the matter of the number of chickens that shall be permitted in a residential zone be filed until such time that the Commission is ready, to cope with it in a Master Plan, seconded by Commissioner Meek and carried unanimously. 8. COMMUNICATIONS: Mr. Woollett informed the Commission that Elton Andrew, State Director of Planning, had indicated to Mr. Wh i tna 1 l that the time for processing is sometimes as short as three months instead of the six months previously required. Mr. Voollett informed the commissioners that shelves have been provided in the front office for all communications other than plot plans, which would be mailed to them as usual. Commissioner Meek spoke of the possibility of a display case in the window of City Hall. Commissioner Meek made a motion that the meeting be adjourned at 9 :4) P.M., seconded by Commissioner Harker and carried unanimously. ATTEST:
