The meeting was called to order and everyone asked to stand while Chair-
man Layton gave the invocation.
Following the invocation, Chairman Layton read the minutes of the previous
meeting. Commissioner Ford then moved that the minutes be approved as
submitted; Commissioner Rainey seconded and motion carried 4-0.
The first item to be considered by the Commission was a public hearing on
a zoning change request by David Phillips for a zoning change from "2F-1"
(Two Family Dwelling) and "C" (Commercial) to a zoning classification of
"2F-1" (Two Family Dwelling) and "C" (Commercial) with a Specific Use Permit
to sell sand and gravel for a period of five (5) years while grading per
plan which was submitted with the application. Chairman Layton stated that
this application has been amended to state that sand and gravel is being
requested to be sold for a period of one year to end December 31, 1979.
Co -Chairman -Burton -arrived during the -preliminary presentation of this sub-
ject. Chairman_Layton stated that of the four adjoined property owners
within 200 feet, the City had received two written replies. One from Mr.
J. C. Thweatt who is directly west of the property, and one from the First
Baptist Church which is south and west of the property. Both these replies
indicated they had no objections to the proposed zoning change. Mr. Phillips
re -stated his request and requested that the Commission consider it a
reclamation project rather than a zoning change. Chairman Layton then de-
clared the public hearing open and asked for comments from those persons
who wished to speak against the proposed change. Those persons who spoke
were Mr. Andy Grant, Mrs. Phyllis Nunnery, Mr. Michael Caldwell, Mr. Wess
Holmes, Mr. Charles Nunnery, Mr. Jim Sowards, Mr. Chris Kellner, Mr. Bill
Medders, Mr. Bill Johnson, Mr. Robert Harrington, Mr. Louis Crump, Mr. Art
Brewer, Mr. Lee Hall, and Mr. Steve Parsons, who was representing Troth
Enterprises. Mr. Harrington indicated that he was not necessarily against
the project. He just had questions concerning the length of the operation
and how it would effect the sales of surrounding land. During discussion,
Mr. Chris Kellner presented a petition to the Planning and Zoning Commission
signed by 157 residents who stated they were opposed to a Sand --and gravel
operation in'a residential area. A copy of this petition is on -'file in
City Hall. Chairman Layton then asked for those persons who wished to speak
for the proposed zoning change. Chairman.4-ayton stated:tha�t he -would like
to speak for the change. Co --Chairman Burton stated that he felt that Mr.
Phillip's solution is a valid solution; however, he did not feel like it was
the best solution that could be done. -He also stated that he would like to
see certain stipulations attached to the Specific Use Permit if it is ap-
proved. These stipulations would include that a performance bond be given
and that after excavation actually starts, six months will be allowed for
the actual excavation process. Chairman Layton then closed the public hear-
ing on this subject. Following discussion by Commission members, Commission-
er Rainey moved that a zoning change request be allowed for a zoning change
from "2F-1" (Two Family Dwelling)and "C" (Commercial) to "2F-1" (Two Family
Dwelling) and "E" (Commercial) with a Specific Use Permit to sell sand and
gravel for a period of approximately one year which will expire December 31,
1979. This specific use permit would include the stipulations that a per
formance bond of $12,000 be submitted, the grades would not exceed those
that are on the grade map submitted with the application, once excavation -
has started, a period of six months will be allowed for the actual excavation
process, and that after December 31, 1979, there will be no reconsideration
or renewal of this application; Chairman Layton seconded the motion which
carried 4-1 with Co -Chairman Burton against the motion.
The next item to be considered by the Commission was approval of the final
plat on Willowood Addition, Phase II. This is the second phase of the Fox
and Jacobs Project. City Administrator Elium stated that this plat does
comply with all City requirements. Following a presentation by Mr. Mike
Mitchell of Fox and -Jacobs, Commissioner Ford moved that this plat be ap-
proved; Commissioner Wells seconded and motion carried 5-0.
The meeting was then adjourned.
