Freddie Swaim, Chairman 4. Ronnie Nutt 2. Bill Davidson 5. Kyle Perry 3. Bruce McMonigle Also present were T.K. Haynes, City Attorney, Earl Smith, City Engineer and Joe McCollum, Director of Community Development. Chairman Swaim called the meeting to order and the minutes of December 7, 1987, were approved as presented. Chairman Swaim declared the public hearing open on the petition of G. Donald Haslam for a change in zoning from a Planned Development - Office District (PD -f) to a Planned Development - Retail District (PD -a) on Lot 3, City Block 289, located at 3240 Lamar Avenue. Dr. Haslam was present and stated he wanted to upgrade the present Office zoning to Planned Development - Retail. He said the property was properly located for retail use and it would increase the value. He stated he had no plans at the present time but the existing apartment building would remain and the house facing Lamar Avenue would eventually be removed and a new building constructed. Buryl Whitaker, owner of property at 3215 and 3225 Lamar, spoke in support of the petition and requested, if possible, that his property be changed to Planned Development Retail also. Stephen Pilger, 3291 Margaret, stated he did not oppose the change but wanted assurance that the existing drainage problem between his property and the Haslam property would not be aggravated by the development. Mr. McCollum advised Mr. Pilger that the current approved Site Plan for the Haslam property provided that no additional drainage be directed toward his property and that should the Site Plan be amended, he would have opportunity to review it at a public hearing. No one else was present to speak on the matter and the public hearing was closed. Mr. McCollum recommended that this petition should not be approved without considering the same zoning for all property along Lamar between 30th and 33rd currently zoned Office or Planned Development - Office. Mr. Haynes concurred with the recommendation.
