ITEM #2: Page moved to approve the minutes of the December 3, 1987 meeting.
Cole seconded.
Unanimous.
ITEM #3.1: Rigsbee read the following prepared statement:
The criteria for rezoning an area to the + overlay district are met. There is
very strong opposition to this request. As the Zoning Ordinance states that
some of the purposes of the Ordinance are to "accomplish compatible developmer
...in a manner that will best . . . . .promote desirable living conditions
and the stability of neighborhoods; to protect property against blight and
depreciation.." and as many residents of the area view the addition of the
3verlay zone will not result in the above purpose, the rezoning of this acre
should receive deep thought by the Boards.
Page moved to follow the recommendation of the Planning Director
and recommend denial of the + overlay district for the reasons
stated.
Moore seconded.
Unanimous.
PLANNING DIRECTOR'S ANALYSIS: 2 / 1 /88 The application criteria are not met for t
rezoning. 1here is no access onto an arterial road - the access on is a priva
road. Sewer service is not provided to this property and there are no plans €
its extension at this time. One parcel to the north is zoned GC all other pari
are zoned R20. Although, in the future, this could be a viable commercial nod
the rezoning of the property at this time would be premature. If the property
is to be rezoned GC access through the Laws' lot on Hwy 70 should be obtained::
this 5.4 acre tract. Also,. the maintenance and dedication of Highland Loop Rd
should be ascertained and required. Definate sewer extension plans should be
in place before this property is rezoned.
Page moved to recommend denial with the reasons that the Planning
Director stated and that it should be noted that zoning marches with
the land and not with the owner.
Moore seconded.
Vote 8-1 with Culbreth voting no and Ashley not in attendence.
