Chairman Munsch then opened the public hearing and asked for

of the request. Those persons speaking were:
Mr. ~erry Lacy L.H. Lacy Company
The public hearing was then declared closed.
Following discussion Comtssioner Tunnell ~oved to approve Case
#S-1047. Colissioner Redford seconded the motion; motion
carried (6-0) with Chairman Nunsch and Com~issioners Green.
Gross, Redford, Tunnell and Weaver voting in favor of the motion.
Item 7: To consider a Planning Co~ission authorized Public Hearing to
dete~mine proper zoning on a tract of land (50.64 acres) located
near the southeast corner of Thweatt Road and State Road. The
public hearing has been called to deter~ine if (PD-SF-9) Planned
Development Single Family-9 is the proper zoning for said
tract.
Director of Planning and Co.unity Services Gary L. Sieb
introduced the item to the Co~ission. ~r. Sieb gave a brief
history of this case. He stated that on September 21, 1989, the
Planning Com~ission considered a request for a change from (LI)
Light Industrial to (SF-7) Single Family-? on this piece of
property, and recommended denial of that request. The applicant
made a request to the City Manager to appeal that decision
before the City Council. On October 10, 1989, that request went
before the City Council. At that hearing the Council modified
the proposal, and granted a (PD-SF-9) Planned Development Single
Family-9, which is a zoning classification the Planning
Co~ission had not considered at their Septeaber 21, 1989
hearing. Conditions for approval by Council included: that the
tract as developed would contain houses that contained at least
1,600 square feet on each of those lots; that there be a 40%
maximu~ coverage, 80% masonry construction, and all other
conditions typical of inclusion in (PD-SF-9) zoning. The two
major (SF-9) guidelines that the developer did not follow is
that (SF-9) requires a 75 foot minimu~ lot width and a 9,000
square foot lot area. This is the reason for the (PD).
Councilmen Morton, Smothermon, Cowman, Robertson and Nelson voting
against the motion. Following further discussion, Mayor Pro Tem
Wilkerson moved that the City approve Resolution 021390.2 suspending
T.U. Electric Company's rate increase request and authorize the Mayor to
sign. Councilman Smothermon seconded the motion; motion carried 7-0
with Mayor Pro Tem Wilkerson, Councilmen Thomas, Morton, Smothermon,
Co~an, Robertson and Nelson voting in favor of the motion.
Staff was requested to give feedback to Council concerning what needs to
be done next on this item. Councilman Cowman volunteered his assistance
in looking at this matter and Bringing it back to the Council.
Item 9: Discussion and consideration of waiving the water bills for
the Bethel Cemetery property.
Mr. Willis Wilson, 417 West Bethel Road, made the presentation to the
Council. Mr. Wilson stated that the site is a historical site and that
the Bethel Cemetery Association is a non profit Association. The
Association feels that tbs cemetery is a part of tbs City and that funds
should be provided for the payment of water bills or waiving of payment.
Mayor Wolfe reminded tbs Council that tbs City's concern dealt with bond
covenant Section 28 (D) Page 15 that states "that no free service of
tbs system shall be allowed". Deputy City ~nager/Finance Director
Frank Trando indicated that the water bill is current at this time and
that generally for seven (7) or eight months (8) the bill runs the basic
amount which is $5.60. The highest bill, during the summer months, is
approximately $60. Following discussion on this item, Councilman
Smothermon moved that this item be referred back to staff for a
solution. Councilman Cowman seconded the motion; motion carried 7-0
with Mayor Pro Tem Wilkerson, Councilmen Thomas, Morton, Smothermon,
Cowman, Robertson and Nelson voting in favor of the motion.
Item 10: Consideration of a zoning change, Case #S-1047, from (LI)
Light Industrial, to (LI-S.U.P.) Light Industrial Special Use
Permit, to allow the operation of a restaurant, located at the
southeast corner of MacArthur Boulevard and Beltline Road, at
the request of Chaucer Chem.
Prior to presentation of this item, a question was raised concerning the
posting of this item as a public hearing. The posted Agenda does not
indicate the item is a public hearing; however, Director of Planning and
Community Services Gary Sieb informed the Council that the item was
advertised as a public hearing. City Attorney Larry Jackson stated that
the item may be heard as a public hearing since it was published as such
and properly advertised. Director of Planning and Community Service
Gary Sieb then made the presentation to the Council. Mr. Sieb stated
that the property is located at the southeast corner of MacArthur and
Beltline Road and is a 2,000 square foot restaurant site that will serve
approximately 50 patrons. The restaurant will also provide walk-in and
take out service. Seven notices were sent with no replies being
received back. The Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended
unanimous approval of this request. Mr. Chaucer Chern, applicant, was
also present to discuss this time with the Council. Mr. Chern stated
that he anticipates an opening date of May 1, 1990. Mayor Wolfe then
declared the public hearing open and asked for those persons who wished
to speak against the proposed zoning change, there were none. Mayor
Wolfe then asked for those persons who wished to speak in favor of the
proposed zoning change. Again, there were none. The public hearing was
declared closed. Following discussion on this item, Councilman Morton
moved that the zoning change be approved as requested. Councilman
Robertson seconded the motion; motion carried 7-0 with Mayor Pro Tem
Wilkerson, Councilmen Thomas, Morton, Smothermon, Cowman, Robertson and
Nelson voting in favor of the motion.
