Chairman Layton then stated that the zoning change request made by Mr. W.
G. Thompson and W. L. Ford, II had been withdrawn. He read copies of two
letters from property owners, requesting that the zoning change be withdrawn.
Copies of these letters are attached as a permanent part of these minutes.
The Commission then considered approval of the final plat and plans of
Willowood Addition, Fox and Jacobs, Inc. Mr. Mike Mitchell of Fox and
Jacobs made a short presentation on the final plat and stated that their
current plans are to develop 200 lots at this time. Chairman Layton then
opened the floor to discussion and questions from the audience from any
persons who were for the proposed plat. There were no questions or comments
from those for the plat. Chairman Layton then stated that those persons
who wished to speak against the proposed plat or had any questions con-
cerning the plat now had a chance to do so. Ms. June Chenault asked to be
recognized and stated that she was representing the citizens for orderly
growth, and she wished the record to show that this group has filed suit
against the City concerning the approval of zoning for Fox and Jacobs. Mr.
Troy Williams asked to be recognized and stated that he would like to know
how many houses will be built in the first phase. Mr. Mitchell stated that
they are planning on building 200 homes in the first phase. Ms. Chenault
again questioned what provisions had been made for the water run-off on the
lake that is located on the south end of the Fox and Jacobs development.
Mr. Mitchell stated that they planned to maintain the dam and the lake,
that they have made plans for a spillway to handle any emergency water run-
off. They are planning to dig the tank down approximately six feet and to
apply hydro -mulch on the slopes of the lake. Ms. Chenault again questioned
whether the run-off from all 441 homes will drain into the lake. City Ad-
ministrator James Elium stated that all 441 homes will not drain into the
lake. Some of the run-off will go under Moore Road and some will go to
the north. Since there were no further questions from the audience at this
time, Chairman Layton asked if any of the Commissioners had any questions
concerning the development. Commissioner Burton stated that he would like
to see it in writing that a 60/40 ratio be maintained in developing the
Accent and Flair homes. Chairman Layton questioned what the plans are as
far as landscaping the greenbelt areas. Mr. Walter Damon of Fox and Jacobs
stated that any considerations that the Council wished would be maintained.
Commissioner Rainey questioned what the target date for the completion of
r r �.
the greenbelt areas would be ands wr`° "fie `Ci ty would take over maintenance
of these areas. The City Administrator stated that when the City accepts
the streets and the utilities, they would also accept the greenbelt areas
at that time. Mr. Troy Williams then questioned whether a buffer of Flair
homes is still being planned to be placed along the south end of the deve-
lopment. Mr. Damon assured Mr. Williams that that is still in their plans.
Following discussion on this item, Chairman Layton moved that the final
plat of Willowood Addition, Fox and Jacobs, Inc. be approved subject to a
60/40 Accent/Flair ratio being maintained and that suitable landscaping be
provided in the greenbelt and lake areas that is acceptable to the City
Administration; Commissioner Rainey seconded the motion. Following more
discussion on the item, Chairman Layton amended his motion to read that no
less than forty per cent of the development will be in Flair homes; Com-
missioner Rainey seconded the amendment, and the motion carried 4-0.
The meeting was then adjourned.
