SEPTEMBER 18, 1984 MINUTES APPROVED Upon a motion by Mr. Smith and second by Mr. Sanders the minutes of the meeting held September 18, 1984 were approved as presented. C.COLVIN PETITIONS FOR ZONING CHANGE FROM R1A TO C2 -140 S. BLUFORD AVE. Mr. C. Colvin requests zoning change from R1A to C2 for his property at 140 S. Bluford Avenue, which he described as adjacent to school ballfield and separated from C3 zoning by 1 lot on which he has paid a deposit. He wishes to have an ice cream parlor and junk store there. City Planner Elwell advised that the proposed change is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, that C2 zoning is not necessary as the proposed use is first mentioned in C1, and that to zone as requested would result in spot zoning. Chairman Breeze pointed out that lots 4 & 5 are owned by Mr. Wurst and are Lir vacant. Those two lots, along with lot 3 which petitioner intends to purchase are R1A, resulting in spot zoning, as all of Bluford will probably go commercial. Mr. Elwell suggested that that is not necessarily so as it could be controlled. Ch. Breeze asked whether or not the acquisition of lot 3 would provide enough parking area for the proposed business, and pointed out the fact that there is a 15' alley way platted but not in use. Mr. Colvin responded that with lot 3 there would be enough space for parking area. Mr. Busch agreed that all of Bluford will go commercial and that Cl was the zoning petitioner should be requesting. Mr. Smith asked how many square feet of the building would be for ice cream parlor and the response was 700 square feet. Ch. Breeze asked if the petitioner could meet the requirements for restrooms, sanitation, food waste, off - street parking, state requirements for food handling, front yard /side yard/ rear yard /buffer yard set backs, stating that there was no need for this board to recommend the zoning change if those requirements can not be met. City Manager Griffin advised that petitioner could go before the Board of Adjustments for the buffer and other set backs. Mr. Smith moved to recommend to commission changing the zoning to C1 providing lot 3 is acquired and providing building can be brought up to standard. Mr. Bateman added "assuming the 15' alley is there,' and Mr. Busch seconded lbw the motion. Vote was unanimous in favor. Mr. Smith requested that there be no junk store, only ice cream parlor. PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING OCT. 9, 1984 PAGE 2 PROPOSED COMMERCIAL PARK PLANS - CITY PLANNER ELWELL City Planner Elwell advised Board that he has devised a system to facilitate the processing of new developments in the city, but that the Preliminary Subdivision Plan for a proposed commercial park off Highway 50 was incomplete due to lack of time to prepare details. One of his chief concerns was the access into the park from Highway 50, as it is his desire to keep egress /ingress to a minimum so as not to interfere with safe flow of traffic. Mr. Bob Rew, General Elevator, proposes to develop a portion of his property surrounding his business and Scotty's into an industrial park. Mr. Warren Howard represented him as developing contractor and advised that they had appeared before City _staff with preliminary plans. However, Mr. Elwell had advised that he could not recommend to Commission that they approve the access roads as designed. Mr. Howard explained that the development they had in mind had been presented in a very preliminary fashion because they wanted to comply with the rules, and in order to do that they needed to determine just what the rules were. He said that Mr. Bill Hull, with Hardee Food Systems, wants to put a fast food service on 200 sq. ft. fronting Highway 50 and that the engineer needs to know the point of access so that he can proceed with site plan. Mr. Hull was present and expressed his appreciation for the city's cooperation thus far in his efforts to begin the project. He also expressed his frustration because Mr. Elwell has advised only one access road into the park should be allowed and D.O.T. has also said they will supply one curb cut. Mr. Hull feels that other owners in the park should have curb cuts as well. City Manager Griffin explained that there had already been two staff meetings to try to work out details for this development and expedite the process because Hardees already has money invested and he urged the Board to do whatever they could to help. After a lengthy discussion regarding curb cuts /access roads Mr. Rew said that if only one curb cut is allowed to award it to Hardees now and if, through their master plan, they are not able to come to an agreement with the city as to how they are going to service the other piece of property, and if, ultimately the city requires only one curb cut to Highway 50, then Hardees will close theirs and use Rew's. Mr. Rew said he will back up this with deed restrictions or whatever else is required. Mr. Sanders moved to approve the preliminary plans with the restrictions as noted above regarding curb cuts. Mr. Brooklyn seconded and vote was unanimous in favor. WORKSHOP SCHEDULED FOR NOVEMBER 10, 1984 Planning and Zoning workshop is scheduled for November 10 and City Manager Griffin advised that city will pay for any members who will attend. Mr. Burton, Mr. Breeze and Mr. Sanders said they will plan to attend. ADJOURNMENT • Upon a motion by Mr. Busch and second by all meeting adjourned at 8:56 P.M. NIL hia4.A114, D ty City Cler!'
