Ordinance Amendments: P 5. METROPOLITAN PLANNING COMMISSION 10-A-15-OA (10/13/16) Amendments to the City of Knoxville Zoning Ordinance regarding

creating a mixed use zoning district for properties located in the area defined by the Bearden Village Opportunities Plan.

THIS ITEM WAS POSTPONED EARLIER IN THE MEETING. 6. METROPOLITAN PLANNING COMMISSION 5-A-16-OA Amendments to Knoxville Zoning Ordinance regarding parking in the

City of Knoxville. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the ordinance. Gerald Green: Update attempts to bring the City’s ordinance into the modern area. Established minimum and maximum number of parking spaces Landscape requirements Bicycle parking required for new uses except single family homes and

duplexes Updated engineering standards for drive isle area, angles of parking

spaces, size of parking spacing and other issues identified by the engineering department.

Public input from public meetings will be forwarded to City Council for their final action.

Three staff recommendations for revisions were added regarding landscaping maintenance, missing plants be replaced and individual resident parking and number of trees recommended from the recommending planting guide.


of 31 9/19/2016 2:52 PM

Joyce Feld: 1548 Aquala Avenue, Knoxville, TN. Board member of

Scenic Knoxville and Trees Knoxville and they support the needed ordinance.

Each reiteration of this has weakened the landscaping requirements. Would like to see it return to language from May 2016 draft. Also ask minimum height requirement for trees and shrubs be restored. We think specifications are important for attractive shady landscape

which will have multiple environmental benefits and enhance walkability.

Would like to see an approved list of trees linked to this ordinance. Green: Requirement with regard to size and maturity was deleted by Plans

Review Department. Inspector looking at the parking lot with no signage will not know and inspectors may not be able to enforce.

Approved planting list agree should be part of it. Deletion of two evergreen trees in the perimeters because realized

there was not adequate room for planting. Three deciduous trees plus shrubs adequate to buffer the parking area. Concern was with the initial number required may not leave adequate room for survival.

Carlene Malone, 6051 Fountain Road. Parking lot landscaping Section 11 alternative landscaping and 12

conservation of existing trees. Flexibility to successfully enforce. Standards need to be tighter and clearer.

City Administrative Review Board should be provided with written decisions from city-employed experts...

Subsection 12 needs minimum number of trees in the perimeter and the site regardless of the number of trees conserved. Needs to be a backstop.

Green: Alternative landscape wanted flexible enough to enable it to be able

used. Will make additional recommendations to City Council and tighten it up some.

Tree conservation – will send these comments on to City Council. With regard to location we will look at that again to tighten up before

this goes on to City Council. Margo Kline 8845 Ebenezer Oaks Lane, Council of Knox County

Homeowners. Concerned the City property bordering County that the 15 foot buffer

not going to be adequate. Northshore Town Center, Sherrill Hills, Assisted Living on Northshore

where zoned City but County property beside it. In those cases the neighbors asked for and got 50 to 100 foot buffers.


of 31 9/19/2016 2:52 PM

Ask that that there be a clause for where property abuts property outside the city limits be looked at on a case by case basis.

Green: City does not have a comprehensive buffering ordinance and that will

be addressed in the comprehensive City zoning update. Staff felt parking was not the place to tackle comprehensive

landscaping ordinance. Planting areas are a minimum and this Commission could require larger

buffer at use on review. Currently there is no buffer required between parking and residential and this is the first step.

Mary English, 810 Oak Grove Lane, on behalf of the League of Women

Voters. Major flaw is efficient use of land and infrastructure. Table 1 section D

establishes maximums then D.6 additional parking can be added if use pervious surfaces. Instead of having no boundary on D6 that a cap be put such as a maximum of 20 to 25 percent of additional spaces if you have pervious pavement. The same thing should apply to brownfields.

Green: Staff is comfortable with setting that limit on excess parking to 20 to

25 percent and that recommendation would be sent on to City Council. MOTION (CLANCY) AND SECOND (JOHNSON) WERE MADE TO

APPROVE STAFF RECOMMENDATION WITH THE THREE REVISIONS ADDED AND REDUCE CREDIT FOR TREE CONSERVATION IN SUBSECTION 12 BY HALF.

Elizabeth Eason: Plant and tree selection, maintenance and inspection should be part of the

landscape ordinance and link to the future landscape ordinance between now and City Council.

MOTION CARRIED 15-0. APPROVED AS MODIFIED. P 7. METROPOLITAN PLANNING COMMISSION 8-A-16-OA (10-13-16) Amendment of Knox County Zoning Ordinance establishing regulations

for rural retreats/event facilities in the Agricultural and possibly other zone districts.

THIS ITEM WAS POSTPONED EARLIER IN THE MEETING. 8. METROPOLITAN PLANNING COMMISSION 9-A-16-OA Amendments to the Knoxville-Knox County Minimum Subdivision

Regulations.


of 31 9/19/2016 2:52 PM

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: POSTPONE until the October 13, 2016 MPC meeting to ensure adequate time for public review and input. The Planning Commission may wish to accept public comment at the meeting on September 8, 2016 prior to postponement.

Margo Kline, 8845 Ebenezer Oak Lane, Council of West Knox County

Homeowners Concern about not much public input. Main concern is sidewalks and removal of provision to keep mature

trees if at all possible. Request delay of 90 days so sidewalk section can be considered along

with everything else. Kendall Aaron, 6531 Deane Hill Drive, Community Health Council, East

Tennessee Children’s Hospital and Childhood Obesity Coalition and Safe Routes to School.

Ask to change language from may to require sidewalks in the ordinance.

Read statistics supporting sidewalks. Jack Woodall, 9520 Westland Drive, on behalf of Community Forum.

Key issue is whether or not MPC includes sidewalk requirements in the subdivision requirements.

MPC’s responsibility is to develop subdivision regulations with mandatory sidewalks in all new subdivisions.

Ask for a postponement in order to address and hear other comments about public sidewalks and consider what to do about sidewalks.

Caroline Cooley, 903 Wingate Street, Bike Walk Knoxville. Here to support requiring sidewalks in new and other construction. Time to get new sidewalks regulations. Increase land value, walkability, physical and mental health. Complete Streets Ordinance would be supported by this. Robert Hill: Farragut. Look at the sidewalks problem without questioning the circulation plan. Alternatives are walking trails that are not on the road without as much

grading. Need to look at how else you can do the job for walking. Cindy Pionke: County Engineering. Study has been done regarding parental zones. County Commission has given funds for sidewalks. Public hearing next month for sidewalks for Powell Elementary School

and Powell Middle School. Sharing plans with developers to see if they can add to the network as

well.


of 31 9/19/2016 2:52 PM

Parks and Recs Department looking at trails that would tie into sidewalks.

Gerald Green The sidewalks separated from the subdivision regs based on issues

such as what are our options, when should sidewalks be required, what are ADA, what are options when topography or other issues make the cost of sidewalks so great they are infeasible. Number of questions we need answered so we as staff then can answer questions.

Any subdivision with current regs or as proposed could be required to have sidewalks.

Sidewalk committee trying to answer those questions so we have a better ground on which to stand and treat all developers fairly.

In October have the Sidewalk Committee come up with recommendations for November.

That will likely include some amendments to the subdivision regulations and comprehensive sidewalks policy in all developments.

This is just one phase of the subdivision regulation updates. Art Clancy Makes sense to do a comprehensive sidewalk ordinance and get buy in

from County Commission. New subdivisions with sidewalks would just put in pockets of sidewalks.


POSTPONE FOR 60 DAYS. Scott Smith We currently do require sidewalks in parental responsibility zones or

near planned walking trails. Issue is are we going to put sidewalks in every development. Charles Thomas Support alternative to sidewalks when topography can handle it. Gerald Green With trails we have to also look at ADA requirements and trails usually

put where topography is rough. CLANCY AND JOHNSON AMENDED MOTION TO POSTPONE 90 DAYS

UNTIL DECEMBER 8, 2016. MOTION CARRIED 15-0. POSTPONED. Plans, Studies, Reports: 9. METROPOLITAN PLANNING COMMISSION 9-C-16-SP 2016 Southwest County Sector Plan Update. Commission Districts 3, 4 & 5.

Council District 2.


of 31 9/19/2016 2:52 PM

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the 2016 Southwest County

Sector Plan, also amending the Knoxville-Knox County General Plan 2033.

Robert M Hill, 11504 Mountain View Road, Farragut, 37934. Ask for 90 day deferment of this plan. Suggest breaking the plan into three parts. Would like to see an operating plan on how to implement the plan. Gerald Green Currently doing a survey to look at making the boundaries of plans

different or doing community-based and corridor plans. Margot Kline, 8845 Ebenezer Oaks Lane, Council of West Knox County

Homeowners. Community has given a lot of input over several meetings. Question about park land and understand school and church

playgrounds were included which are not truly accessible public park areas. Southwest sector has a need for neighborhood parks close to home.

Jeff Archer Yes schools have been included in the total because park plan has

identified that schools should be used as community park places. Becky Longmire Knox County Schools are now fencing schools for safety might not want

to include in park area. Art Clancy One of the largest Parks in Knox County, Victor Ashe Park, is gated at

night. If Knox County maintains it, it should be considered parks and public spaces.


APPROVE STAFF RECOMMENDATION. MOTION CARRIED 15-0. APPROVED.

a. Concept Subdivision Plan 9-SB-16-C Northwest and southeast side of Thorn Grove Pike, north side of

Worthington Ln. at the northwest quadrant of the I-40 and Midway Rd. interchange, Commission District 8.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Concept Plan subject to 12

conditions. Tom Brechko


of 31 9/19/2016 2:52 PM

Reviewed the phased plans, the individual site development, revisions to design guidelines and prohibited uses, and open space, trails, pavilions and amenities.

Tom McAdams, 116 Agness Road here on behalf of the Development

Corporation of Knox County. Brent Johnson, Vaughn and Melton, 1909 Ailor Avenue, 37921, who

designed the concept plan which has no variances and lots of preservation areas.

Jason Long, Lowe, Yager and Brown, 900 S Gay St. suite 2102.

Representing the 8th District Preservation Association. Showed a power point presentation and handed out copies of the presentation.

The 1995 East County Sector Plan pointed out the sinkholes, solution channels and cavern areas that MPC had previously determined were unsuitable for intensive large-scale developments. Showed a map with sinkholes or limestone or dolomite formation with risks and safety concerns about this development on this area.

Problem is may affect the groundwater in this area. We think this area should not be developed until TDC can show what

the impact may be and show what plans are to address those concerns.

Sandra Carboluck, 5212 Daphne Drive, 37914. Site not suitable because of the steep slopes, bad soils and hydraulic

concerns. Recommend a 25 foot buffer around the preservation area. Habitat and

habitat edges are essentially. Proposed main road be only vehicular intrusion into the property. Would like to see preservation area be extended into lot 20 to include

the farm pond and stream, delete lot 16 due to small size, irregular shape, and steep frontage slopes, do not develop lots with slopes of 15% or greater, do not fill or develop over closed topo depressions on lots 6, 14, 22, 23, 38 and 39 not suitable for developing.

Consider not accepting the internal roads as public roads due to maintenance.

Ed Reed, 435 S East End Road. Local community has given input multiple times that it does not want

this. MPC had a meeting and listed 10 different options for what to do with the property. Farm land preservation had the most votes from the community and open space came in second.

Ground is not compatible for development. No primary State or US roads there. Why do you have public input meetings?


of 31 9/19/2016 2:52 PM

Becky Longmire We actually want citizen input but citizens want lots of things. We listen

to both sides. Bob Wolfenbarger, President of the 8th District Preservation Association. For more than 15 years this community has been asking how are you

going to protect the groundwater. No one has ever addressed groundwater.

Opposed so that you will know that development will pollute and destroy the eco system of the area. Evidence is irrefutable.

Intent is to make all that hear this know the conditions so you will know the consequences and cannot say you did not know.

McAdams Multiple engineering firms from every specialty have been on this site.

There have been test borings on the site and TDEC has been involved in the process and aware of what is going on.

Question is this the best use of this site. We will be addressing the stormwater issues. That is not before you

today. Design plan requires detailed drainage and stormwater information.

We have gone out of our way to give information and get public input. Art Clancy We ask for public opinion because we want to know how everyone

feels, not just the Thorngrove Pike area. If you ask all the citizens of Knox County about the best use of the land, it affects everybody and it will differ.


APPROVE STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE. Charles Thomas Might be less detriment if built on a blighted property or already zoned

originally an industrial park. Quality of life is an economic benefit. Natural beauty of the area draws people

with resources to this area. This development may be an economic detriment. You come in from the east

people see much more open space to draw them in. Laura Cole We are a little off topic. We are funded to do an East Knox County Community Plan which addresses

the area that is really at risk and that is the area surrounding the business park.

A business park is less invasive than mile upon mile of subdivisions which is intensive sprawl.


of 31 9/19/2016 2:52 PM

Elizabeth Eason The area might not be the best area for this, but this is an excellent concept

plan with preservation and things in place to make this a good concept plan. If we do not approve it, something else will go in there.

Thomas Concerned with the sink hole issue since most people have groundwater wells.

Not sure I heard an objective analysis of the situation. Is there a process for an independent study or listen to each side.

Charles Lomax Lots of time we tell citizens this is not the time to discuss something and then

when it is the appropriate time so much steam has gathered that those that have not been paying attention have to recourse.

Green Detailed design plans for each phase and individual development of lots within

each phase would address sinkholes. If that is a concern they could attach a condition to the approval of the concept plan that the sinkhole and groundwater issues be addressed specifically with the design plans for each stage.

Clancy We rely on TDEC, EPA and County Engineering to take care of the design

stages. We make our decision based on the fact that we know they are going to do their job.

Mac Goodwin I am really concerned about the adequacies of TDEC doing adequate studies.

I can’t support it until there is adequate science that it is not going to affect people. We need to protect people that live there.

Scott Smith Sinkholes have buffers and a special process and core drilling. We are not at

the engineering stage but approval so they can get the engineering done. Commissioner Len Johnson called for the question. Janice Tocher Would like to know what that condition might look like or read. Longmire Condition No. 6 talks about obtaining required permits from Tennessee

Department of Environment and Conservation, a subsurface investigation and design recommendation by a geotechnical engineer and approval by the Knox County Department of Engineering and Public Works.


of 31 9/19/2016 2:52 PM

Cindy Pionke: County Engineering I like the way condition 6 is worded. Condition 6 covers the basis for who is

going to review and approve it. Tom Brechko talked about preservation areas and whether filling or building

could even be built in sinkhole areas. Longmire asked for the question. Charles Thomas At the next stage I want proof that satisfies me as to the danger to the

community and this water. This is a great concept plan in the wrong spot. Should look at areas that are

blighted and build them up. Green Pointed out design plan reviewed by staff and this last time Commission will

be involved. If they ask for deviation from the design guidelines, they would have to come back before the Planning Commission. All development sites are staff review.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve final plat. Cindy Pionke, County Engineering. Found plat did not provide a common area around the water quality

unit that is required as part of design plan. Financial burden for homeowners to clean out the unit. Ask that you deny because they have not met this condition.

David Harbin, Batson, Himes, Norvell and Poe, 4334 Papermill Dr. Up until two weeks ago an easement around this unit was adequate.

Staff level decision that an easement is no longer acceptable and they want a common area.

I have a concept approved by this board and they have reviewed and approved my design plan which did not show a common area but an easement.

I am in compliance with subdivision regulations and zoning ordinance. Last minute it is too late and too big an imposition. Future plans can include common areas. Dennis Irwin, County Engineering About two months ago the stormwater department decided to make it

policy that these would be place in common area to protect homeowners and Knox County.


of 31 9/19/2016 2:52 PM

Property owner is ultimately responsible for inspections and maintenance at the cost of a few hundred dollars upon inspection then $1,000 to $7,000 to have it cleaned out.

Case by case basis. Developers have been slow to get on board. Chair Longmire asked what kind of notification have developers been

given: Art Clancy Need to give the engineering and development community more notice. MOTION (JOHNSON) AND SECOND (CLANCY) WERE MADE TO

APPROVE THE FINAL PLAT. Steve Wise, MPC Attorney. Denial of final plat has to have reason and could use reasoning not in

compliance with Knox County Engineering. Gayle Bustin: Should not there be a notice before invoking a change. Irwin: We did not see as such a burden on affecting the lots. It would

take only almost .005 of acre off the lot. Harbin Once you put hard property lines on there that is a front building

setback, I will be 20 feet behind that. The lot this water quality easement sits in is steep and would have to grade even more and probably render this lot unbuildable if it went to common area.

Homeowners association will be responsible for the detention basins and the water quality easements.

Roy Braiden says this would not affect the setback. Len Johnson called for the question. Chair Longmire asked engineering to get with MPC and put that change

on the web site to let surveyors and developers know of this change. MOTION CARRIED 15-0. APPROVED. P 23. WILLIAM S. AND HANNA J. CUMMINGS PROPERTY 9-SF-16-F (10/13/16) Bob Cummings Rd due east of W.

Linda Jones, 1900 Ebenezer Road Disturbance to me and too much traffic on Ebenezer. Margo Kline, 8845 Ebenezer Oaks Lane, Council of the West Knox

County Homeowners and live a mile away. Has been interest in commercializing Ebenezer for a while. Homes and residential surround this because of the efforts of the

Council. Out of character with area. With the slopes and school and traffic would be dangerous place to put

more traffic. Ask denial. Scott Davis, PO Box 11315, Hope is my wife. Did not know until today that Ms. Jones against it. Own property on corner already CA and where my office is. This is

continuation of my property. CA all around in the general area. Trying to do a development with mixed zoning.

All around is single family residential next to CA and they were built just recently.

Mike Brusseau Staff looking for or stopping point or transition point for the Commercial

zoning off this intersection. Primary reason is house in Agricultural right next door could be majorly

impacted. Art Clancy Agree this has to be a buffer.


of 31 9/19/2016 2:52 PM

Laura Cole Reason office is appropriate is because it provides a transitional area

and is justification for sector plan change. Chair Longmire Obvious error in plan because no longer suitable for low density

residential. Scott Davis accepted staff recommendation of office. Mike Crowder There has been a lot of commercial added in the past ten years. MOTION (CLANCY) AND SECOND (GOODWIN) WERE MADE TO

5. Rezoning from O-1 (Office, Medical, and Related Services) to C-4 (Highway and Arterial Commercial).

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: DENY C-4 (Highway & Arterial

Commercial) zoning. Mike Brusseau


of 31 9/19/2016 2:52 PM

Only access is Wallwood Road which is 17’ of pavement. Current zone provides for reasonable use and provides protection for

residential. Plans do currently recommend general commercial, but we are saying

those plans are not appropriate and error in plans. James Apodaca, 8420 Gardenside Lane, Powell When we first called it looked more promising to change to commercial

and then received denial recommendation in the mail. Residential houses are far away from this property. Want to do specific business of RV storage facility with covered storage. Plan on nice facility with a buffer zone with evergreens. Only 150 feet from Clinton Highway before directly access property. Entrance fence will be back from the road for them to pull off the road

when entering. Not much activity for moving RV’s in and out. Project 40 to 50 RV’s would fit on the property. Would be covered but not closed in. Gerald Green Keep in mind if zoned C-4 any use permitted in that district would be

allowed. Pointed out the City Attorney has a more restricted view of our ability to restrict zoning. Site design conditions are more acceptable.

Pat Phillips Asked about access from lot 22. Brusseau Could require use on review approval to be able to review plan and

limit use of the site. Would have to come back for approval of other uses.

(Betty Jo Mahan and Tarren Barrett, MPC staff, left the meeting at this

point.) Apodaca This property has a small sink hole which we will repair. Would improve the looks of the property for the Norwood community. Scott Smith C-4 could generate less traffic than office. This is appropriate for this property. Steve Wise If contemplating a condition such as use on review to make this

decision easier, encourage you to send it back to staff and give them a


of 31 9/19/2016 2:52 PM

chance to look at the implications or parameters of use on review ought to encompass.

Art Clancy Zoning follows the property and unattractive businesses can move onto

that property. Postpone to look at making best use of the property. MOTION (CLANCY) AND SECOND (JOHNSON) WERE MADE TO

POSTPONE SO STAFF CAN LOOK AT CONDITIONING THE PROPERTY TO PROTECT THE AREA. MOTION CARRIED 15-0. POSTPONED UNTIL OCTOBER 13, 2016.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE the request for a 125' monopole

Doug Tochenburg, 1859 Holston Hills Road, President of Town Hall

East.


of 31 9/19/2016 2:52 PM

Request 60 day postponement to review and discuss alternative places with Verizon.

Negative impact on redevelopment of Burlington. Dereck Tate, 211 Meadowview Road off Holston Drive Location a concern. No way to beautify or landscape in the middle of a parking lot. City in progress of beautifying Magnolia and this would not fit into

plans. Jim Lepan, Faulk and Foster, zoning specialist, 584 Laurel Lane,

Lancaster, PA Notification was made properly Property owner has right to use property for maximum benefit. Complies with telecommunication ordinance. No designated historic areas on this lot or within one mile of this

location. May have a need for parking variance Screening the base of the tower with a wooden fence in lieu of

landscaping Larry Perry, 11464 Saga Lane, Knoxville, Tower consultant. Can’t delay for 60 days, if you do they automatically get the permit. Meet all State and local regulations. Alternative sites have been looked at in the area. Capacity is lacking in the area. Suggest reflective tape on antennae Recommending that the applicant design for 150 feet but only build the

bottom 125 feet due to increased demand and reduce numberof towers.

Future applications for small cell poles (DAS) and will need to change our ordinance to address them.

Gerald Green Can add conditions for ensuring that the tower does not adversely

impact the neighborhood. Our ordinance needs major updating. You can require landscaping around this area in the parking. Suggest

minimum 15 foot maybe 20 foot landscape buffer around the bottom of the tower in addition to a fence, a variety of evergreens and maintenance of the buffer.

Not designated historic but does have historic integrity and an asset to the community.

Laura Cole There should be a conversation with the neighborhood community and

talk about options for landscaping.


of 31 9/19/2016 2:52 PM

Lepan did speak with Sharon Davis Scientific decision based on Verizon network with a lot of people relying

on their phones. Charles Lomax When looking at 125 feet I really don’t think anybody cares about a 5

foot buffer. Is any consideration given when picking these sites of potential future development and beautifying the area?

Perry Would not say there are no alternative sites. Trying to stay out of

residential areas. You can buffer it all you want. 5 G shrinks the coverage area so expect more towers or collocations. Charles Thomas There is historic significance to that area with plans to bring back the

vitality. Encouraged the applicant to talk with the neighborhood. MOTION (COLE) AND SECOND (JOHNSON) WERE MADE TO

POSTPONE FOR 30 DAYS. MOTION CARRIED 14-1. APPROVED. Gary Jernigan: 500 Henley Street, with item 37 with LeConte Equities

Group. Apologize for not being here when it was heard. Appreciate your approving

use: Master Sign Plan - Development Directory Sign in C-3 (General Commercial) & O-1 (Office, Medical and Related Services) District. Council District 4.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the revision to the Master Sign

Plan for Harvest Towne Center and the designation of a new development directory sign for the commercial center, subject to 4 conditions.

Carlene Malone, 6051 Fountain Road Question is what is meant by unified development. Does not meet the standards for use on review that it be consistent

with the zoning ordinance. Master sign plan is for a unified, coordinated well designed sign system.

Applicant breaking into two unified developments.


of 31 9/19/2016 2:52 PM

Looked at only two of the signs-existing 2003 directory and take out Ruby Tuesday sign and put in a new sign.

All the existing signs need to be and should be looked at. Amy Tyson, represent JBL Investments which owns Harvest Towne

Center, 282 Silverleaf Lane, Dallas, GA 30157. The sign that is existing does not fit the code as being a unified sign

plan and does not represent all the people in that shopping center. Concern is if a sign no longer fits needs to be redone. Want to solidify what exactly is Harvest Towne Center. Tom Brechko Original plan did not include all the properties. Planning Commission determines if this is a unified development that

functions as a whole. Original sign did not meet what the Planning Commission approved. It

is 4 feet above the current sign regs. MOTION (CLANCY) AND SECOND (JOHNSON) WERE MADE TO

APPROVE STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE. Charles Thomas Would like more time to look at the property and make a decision later. Commissioner Thomas offered a new Motion to postpone for 30 days which

was followed by a second from Commissioner Roth. Chair Longmire We are voting first on Commissioner Clancy’s motion because that is what is

on the floor. Upon roll call the Planning Commission voted as follows: Tocher No Thomas No Smith Yes Roth Yes Phillips No Lomax No Johnson Yes Goodwin No Eason No Crowder Yes Cole No Clancy Yes Bustin No Anders Yes Longmire No

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the request for 1 duplex on the

Mike Reynolds Front lot does not meet the minimum lot size for a duplex. Roy Sharp, 3016 Gray Hendrix Road Read and submitted a petition to deny with 22 signatures. School children have to walk through yards to get to school. Jay Blackwell, 3037 Gray Hendrix Road Proposed use not compatible with current lot size and character. Concerned about property values. Insufficient area for 2 duplexes along with parking. David Hutchins, Hutchins Associates PC Architects, Representing the

owner of the property, Jerry Drain who lives in the Karns Community. Bought the property for investment purposes


of 31 9/19/2016 2:52 PM

Lot of people prefer to rent other than purchase or are not able to own property.

Since it is new construction it will draw a higher level of tenant. Setbacks are greater than allowed. Property owner owns property immediately to the east and zoned A. COMMISSIONER HERB ANDERS LEFT THE MEETING AT THIS TIME. Gerald Green Question here is does the lot meet the size for a duplex. Commission

cannot grant variances. MOTION (CLANCY) AND SECOND (PHILLIPS) WERE MADE TO
