Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting
T~Iarch 18, 1971+
Agenda Item No. ~. -- Consideration of a zone change request for nine tracts
at the intersection of State Hi~hwa_y o South and FI~i 2818. The City Planner
pointed out the location and acreage of each of the tracts. Chairman Calliham
observed that the apartment tract adjacent to the single family residential
tract was so designed that the apartment land would be opposite the rear lot
lines of the proposed single family residences. He felt that this arrangement
might be objectionable due to the private nature of rear yards and that facing
the two types of uses across a street ti•~ould be better. Tfir. Fitch said that
major streets t•.=ere being used as buffers along part of the residential tract
in areas where it was not intended that lots should front on these streets.
He expressed the view that apartments across a residential street from single
family residential lots ~,rould create some problems with apartment tennants and
guests parking on the street. A'ir. Fitch explained at length his concept of
the development on the entire tract, G~hich in conjunction with a tract to be
developed by Community Savings and Loan would total 1200 acres. He pointed
out that the gross area of apartment and commercial zoned lands ~?ould be
reduced by about 30 d.ue to the u,~ide right-of-~*ays to be platted in these areas.
Commissioner T~athewson asked about the depth of the shallo~•T portion of the
74 acre ueneral Commercial tract. I~ir. Fitch replied that the depth, after
additional right-of-,ray ~~~as granted the Highway Department, ~,,Tould be about
175 feet ~,~hich would allow for a 70 foot setback, a 70 foot building and a
30 foot rear setback.
Chairman Calliham opened the public hearing. No one spoke and the hearing ~.•.ras
closed.
Commissioner Longley moved that the Commission recommend approval of the zoning
requests. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Chaney and unanimously
approved z,Tith Commissioner Boyett abstaining.
