Review of Municipal Complex Plans. Mr. Jim Stergas presented the revised preliminary drawings of the Town Hall and Police Department. Following a brief discussion by the Commission, staff, and the public, the interior and exterior of the revised Town Hall and Police Department were approved. Further discussion ensued with respect to the possiblity of moving the public works garage to a new location behind the new Police Department. This proposal was not favorably considered due to reasons such as the following: - increased costs of constructing a new building rather than utilizing the existing structure. - loss of necessary parking in the rear of the Police Department. - insufficient space on the site to accomodate both the garage and the adjacent residences. - storage of Public Works equipment next to the residential properties with insufficient room on site to screen equipment.

Winston, for a variance to yard requirements reducing front yard setback on corner lot from 44.5 feet to 34.4 feet on that portion of the lot facing Wright Way. This . request is for property described as lot 2, H.V. Pope Sub - division and located at the N.E. corner of Old School Road and Wright Way. Mr. Allmon presented the request and stated that due to an oversight, he was not aware of a five foot drainage easement on the east side of the property. As a result, he requested that the variance request be amended so as to allow a 30 ft. front yard rather than the 34.4 feet.
