A motion was made by Councilman Weekly, seconded by Councilwoman Neeley, for adoption of the ordinance. The motion carried 7 ayes, 0 nays. Mayor Fendley declared the public hearing open to consider the petition of Donald G. Wilson for a change in zoning from a One-Family Dwelling District No. 2(SF- 2) to a Planned Development District - Retail Shopping Center (PD-a) on part of Lot 14, City Block 259, being located in the 700 Block of Collegiate Drive. Mayor Fendley called for proponents to appear and Donald G. Wilson, 3310 Stacy Lane, came forward as representative of and part owner in a group called HW Group and they are requesting rezoning of this property. The property is located along Collegiate Drive across from the East Paris Baptist Church. Mr. Wilson said they were asking for new zoning on a part of the property that at this time is zoned Commercial. He explained that there is about 150 feet along Collegiate Drive, a small wedge shape piece that they purchased to tie to their property, and that was already zoned Commercial. Mr. Wilson said they have an offer on the north most 120 feet of this property along Collegiate Drive from Norment & Landers Insurance. Norment & Landers want to buy this property and have instructed HW Group attorneys to draw-up a deed restriction on this entire property. He said that deed restriction will require anyone who builds on the property in the future to have brick construction on all four sides. There will be no metal allowed to show from the street or the back. If they use a metal building they have to completely enclose it in brick. Mr. Wilson said that Norment & Landers will have a deed restriction requiring them to build a conventional type building with a roof that is similar to those in the area and the homes that they will be adjacent to. He explained that this would be a transition building to the rest of the commercial property. They felt that this is a good transition from residential to commercial and with the traffic, he could not see it ever being residential in this area.
