MINUTES OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION FEBRUARY 3, 1986 The Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Paris met in regular session, Monday, February 3, 1986 at 7:00 P.M. in the Council Room, City Hall, Paris, Texas with the following members present: 1. Freddie Swaim - Chairman 5. Bruce McMonigle 2. Charles Christian 6. Ronnie Nutt 3. Bill Davidson 7. Kyle Perry 4. Jacob Hildreth Also present were Brandon Chaney, Interim City Engineer and Joe McCollum, Director of Community Development. Chairman Swaim called the meeting to order and the minutes of December 2, 1985 were approved as presented. The Replat of Lot 23, Block 4, Mayer Addition were presented by Mr. McCollum, who advised that the proposed lots did not meet minimum area and width require- ment. Mr. Chaney submitted a memorandum to the Commission outlining his recommendations. Thomas Reeves, owner of the property, spoke, saying that his reason for requesting approval of the replat separating the two houses on the property was to allow the sale of one of the houses in the event he was no longer available to take care of both places for him and his two sisters. He explained that he obtained a building permit for the additional dwelling unit after the zoning on the property was changed to 2F (Two Family Dwelling). He _ was suppose to connect the new dwelling unit to the old house to qualify as a duplex but decided to try to replat the property after he was required to provide separate water and sewer taps for the new building. The Commission discussed the matter for a long period of time, not wanting to set a precedent in the area. Mr. McCollum reviewed Section XV1 (B) of the Subdivision Regulations dealing with exceptions and requested the Commission to consider criteria listed for making an exception on the lot area and width. After additional discussion, Mr. Hildreth made a motion to approve the variance to the lot size and recommend approval of the replat subject to the exceptions listed in City Engineers Memorandum dated February 3, 1986, marked Exhibit A and attached hereto. Mr. Christian seconded the motion which carried 4 ayes, 3 nays. Commissioners McMonigle, Nutt and Swaim voted nay. There being no further business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned. Y en N.
