District, Residential/Neighborhood Retail Sub -Zone

The Planning and Zoning Commission had some concerns about sub -zone districts ten and
eleven, that trailer house will be able to be moved in. Mr. Napier stated that trailer houses
wouldn't be allowed into agriculture zoning, which sub -zone ten and eleven are zoned. Mr.
Efrussy asked the commission how they felt about the proposed Lake Crook Planned
Development District. The Planning and Zoning Commission think it's excellent for a
long -term plan. Shawn Napier stated that sub -zones seven, eight and nine are primary all
flood plain areas, there are still a lot of things that can be done, like a golf course, football
field, soccer fields, etc. Richard Hunt stated he would like to see if the city staff would give
a tour of some of the Lake Crook Planned Development District.
11. Discussion regarding start times and duration for the proposed second meeting of the
month.
Alan Efrussy, Planning Manager asked the Planning and Zoning Commission if they
would consider having two meetings a month instead of the one to focus more on what's at
hand. Shawn Napier stated it would help in circumstances; we can have it set up like the
Historical Preservation Commission, the second meeting is on an as- needed basis. The
Planning and Zoning Commission agree to have an as- needed meeting on the third
Tuesday. Shawn Napier stated that he would check with the city calendar and make sure
the third Tuesday is available.
