Agenda Item #7 - Other Business - (A) City Planner George Eby showed the
4111 Commission a base map that the members of the staff had prepared showing
48 acres of land between Bee Creek and the City Cemetery.
It was mentioned that Area Progress Corporation had stated that they
would dedicate 17 acres of land along Bee Creek to the City if that 17
acres would be joined with 31 acres of land presently owned by the City
behind the cemetery for use as a park. The Commission agreed that the
Parks and Recreation Committee should come up with some plans for utilizing
this park land and the costs of such uses.
(B) Mr. Richard Smith approached the Commission with a request for Commer-
cial Zoning on Lot 1 , Block 3 of Prairie View Heights Subdivision.
He stated that he had been notified by the City Planner that the request
would violate the City's Development Policy in a letter dated February 29,
1972; and that at a previous date he, had been informed by the City Planner
that there was Business Zoning in the area and that it might be possible
to get other lots rezoned for business.
The City Planner agreed that these were the correct circumstances, but
stated that the initial discussion occurred prior to a decision by the city
council that all zoning applications were to be screened by the city staff
in order to uphold the approved City Development Policy to the best of
their ability.
• The Commission agreed that the request appeared to be in violation of the
City's Development Policy by being spot zoning, and that it was proper that
the request was not placed upon the agenda.
