The motion was seconded by Commissioner Mathewson and unanimously approved. Agenda Item No. 4 was considered at this time. Mr. Jerry Bishop representing the developer presented the preliminary plat. City Planner Mayo pointed-out that the master preliminary plat of the Parkway Plaza Addition dated August, 1974 had expired and was now invalid and that acceptance of the current plat would set the alignment of Anderson Street. Mr. Mayo pointed out various staff recommendations of street alignment which differed with those proposed by the developer in the original master preliminary plat. Commissioner Mathewson proposed that the developer submit a new master preliminary plat in conjunction with the recommendations of the City Staff. Mr. Mayo pointed out that approval of the current proposed preliminary plat would not effect the staff's recommended street plan. Commissioner Boyett suggested that the proposed plat be considered on its own merit. Commissioner Mathewson suggested that approval of any final plat of the Parkway Plaza Addition be in conjunction with a master preliminary plat of the entire tract. Commissioner Mathewson moved to recommend approval of the proposed preliminary plat with the provision that access to lots 21, 22, 23, and 24 not be to Southwest Parkway. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Boyett and unanimously approved. Mr. M.O. Lawrence, a local architect, addressed the Commission stating that his client wished to construct a small dental clinic on lot 21 of the proposed Parkway Plaza Addition. Mr. Lawrence requested an opinion of the Commission as to granting a conditional use permit for this purpose. City Engineer Ash pointed out that if the dental office were constructed prior to the completion of Anderson Street, the City might be forced to grant a curb cut access off of Southwest Parkway. Mr. Lawrence presented a drawing showing the manner in which parking requirements would be satisfied on the site. Commissioner Stover stated that he felt the traffic generated by this use would create a dangerous situation. '~! Commissioner Boyett moved that the Commission give Mr. Lawrence a favorable 1 indication to his request providing problems of access and parking could be solved. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Mathewson and unanimously approved. MINUTES, Planning and Zoning Commission February 2, 1976 Page 3 Agenda Item No. 6 -- Public hearing on Community Development Program for Year 19.76. City Planner Mayo gave a report on Community Development projects completed in 1975 and proposed projects for 1976. Mr. Sam Ford suggested that future projects be done on a contract basis in order to speed work. Ms. Rosetta Keaton asked several questions relating to the Community Development Project . Ms. Keaton stated that residents on Arizona Street had not been notified of the recent rezoning of the Pecan Tree Estates Area. Mr. Mayo explained that in many instances, the property owners who are notified by mail do not live on the property. Ms. Keaton stated that the residents of the area were against the rezoning. Ms. Keaton stated that the residents of the McCulloch and Southland Addition were not aware that their property was zoned R-3, and that they feared apartments would be built in their neighborhood. Commissioner Stevenson suggested that areas zoned R-3 due to nonconforming lot size might be rezoned to R-1. Commissioner Boyett suggested that an ordinance be written rezoning these specific lots and blocks to R-1 but pointing out that they are exceptions to minimum lot d i,mens ions . City Planner Mayo pointed out that there were other areas in the City where this situation existed and that any ordinance of this type should cover all of these areas. Chairman Longley directed the City Planner to begin preparation of an ordinance rezoning these areas. Commissioner Mathewson moved that the Commission recommend to City Council that a fee be charged the petitioner in zone change requests adequate to cover notifica- tion by certified mail, return receipt requested. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Boyett and unanimously approved. Agenda Item No. 7 -- Other business. There was no other business. Agenda Item No. 8 -- Adjourn. Commissioner Stevenson moved that the meeting be adjourned. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Boyett and unanimously approved.
