1.   Aaron WaIkers request for a zoning map amendment on Sheftall Road from C-2 to I-2.

 This item was tabled from the last meeting to give the petitioner more time to review access possibilities. Mr. Walker, the petitioner, explained he had talked with Ron Stephens on Friday at which time he stated he had talked with someone from the city about the right-or-way problem. The board was unaware of this conversation and advised Mr. Walker to withdraw his request until the right-of-way issue is resolved. Councilman Poteet further explained to Mr. Walker that if the board denies the rezoning and council concurs, he would have to wait six months to reapply. Therefore, Mr. Walker agreed it was in his best interest to withdraw the rezoning request. The board concurred.

 

2.   Public Hearing on Margaret Stokes request for a “medical hardship variance” to place a manufactured home behind their residence at 705 West Highway 80

Margaret and Preston Stokes were present to answer any questions the board may have regarding their request. If the “Hardship Variance" is granted Mr. & Mrs. Stokes understand the manufactured home would have to be removed if they no longer reside at this property or Mr. Stokes condition improves whereas the need for additional help is no longer needed. A motion was made by Holly Young to approve the "Medical Hardship Variance'. Motion was seconded by Joe Harmon and passed without opposition.

Joe Harmon made a motion to approve the 'conditional use request" subject to the plant location being a minimum of 200 feet from adjoining property lines and must be in conformance with all applicable rules and regulations administered by the Environmental Protection Division. Motion was seconded by Larry Olliff and passed without opposition.
