The meeting was called to order by Chairman Calliham at 7 :00 P.M. ,
on August 6 , 1973 in the Council Chambers at City Hall.
Agenda Item No. 1 - Approval of the minutes of the July 16 , meeting.
Chairman Calliham asked for approval of the minutes of the previous
meeting of July 16. Commissioner Mathewson requested a change be made
under Agenda Item No. 2 ; that of inserting the sentence "The public
hearing was opened" and "There was no response and the public hearing
was closed. " On motion of Commissioner Boyett, seconded by Commissioner
Chaney, the minutes of the July 16 , meeting were approved with correc-
tions. The vote for the motion was unanimous.
Agenda Item No. 2 - Whitley Subdivision Plats (preliminary and final) .
111 Chairman Calliham called on City Engineer George Ford to brief the
Commission regarding the Whitley Subdivision Plats. City Engineer
Ford described this property and stated that the plats were brought
forward for approval rather than the metes and bounds. Commissioner
Boyett suggested that the preliminiary and final plats for the
Whitley Subdivision be acted on jointly. Chairman Calliham asked for
any other comments before a motion was made. Commissioner Miller
requested clarification of Welsh Street. He stated that in one place
it was spelled "Welch" and other places "Welsh" . City Engineer Ford
advised that it should be "Welsh" , as this is a breed ,of bovine and
the other streets in the vicinity carry names of bovine also. As
there were no other comments made, Commissioner Boyett moved that
both the preliminary and the final plats be approved for the
Whitley Subdivision; and seconded by Commissioner Mathewson, the
motion unanimously carried.
Agenda Item No. 3 - Consideration of Woodson Village, Part 5 , Section 2 ,
final plat. Chairman Calliham called on City Engineer Ford to comment
on the Woodson Village plat. City Engineer Ford described this plat
and stated that some time ago, the Commission suggested that Thomas
Street would be brought out to its existing end and that this plat
would confirm this suggestion and Thomas Street would be completed.
On motion by Commissioner Boyett, and seconded by Commissioner Wallace,
the final plat for Woodson Village, Part 5 , Section 2 , was approved.
Agenda Item No. 4 - Clarification of recommendations for Munson Street
411, extension and improvement. Chairman Calliham clarified that rumors
concerning condemnation of several homes on Munson Street, widening

of Munson Street, and destruction of trees, fences, etc. on property
on Munson Street were not true. He also advised that the only
410 reason this item was put on the agenda, was to clarify what was
discussed in the workshop meeting that was held on Monday, July 23 ,
1973. Chairman Calliham informed the citizens that the area transpor-
tation plan did not show a specific width of a street, but that
there would be a connection through 29th Street and Highway 30.
Commissioner Boyett explained to the citizens that the Planning and
Zoning Commission is only able to make recommendations to the council,
but does not take final action regarding these recommendations.
Chairman Calliham stated very strongly that no recommendation of
any sort has been made to the City Council concering any specific width
of Munson street. He also said that the commission is existing in
order to prevent situations like the Munson Street case, and others
similar to it. The question was raised by a citizen why the Commission
did not go on record as opposing the widening of Munson Street.
After considerable discussion among the citizens and the Commission,
Chairman Calliham once again emphasized that no recommendation of
any other such statements contradicting this, are false. Commissioner
Boyett pointed out to the audience, that bound copies of the Zoning
Ordinance and the Subdivision Ordinances are available and would
explain what property owners can and cannot do.
Agenda Item No. 5 - Committee appointments. Chairman Calliham
deferred this item as the information that was needed, was not
available and it would be brought up again in the future meetings.
Agenda Item No. 6 - Hear visitors . The question was raised relative
411 to the flow of traffic during the hours of 8 : 00 A.M. , 12 :00 P.M. ,
1: 00 P.M. , and 5 : 00 P.M. Chairman Calliham advised that the
Commission has no authoirty to take action on this matter.
Agenda Item No. 7 - Other business. Chairman Calliham advised the
Commission members that a work session would be held immediately
after the meeting in the Conference Room of the City Hall.
As there was no other business, on motion by Commissioner Longley,
and seconded by Commissioner Boyett, the meeting was adjourned at
8 :55 P.M.
