Benny Plata Lisa Wright, Director of Community Development, was also present. 1. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Reeves Hayter. 2. Approval of minutes from previous meetings. (April 25, 2005, Special Joint Meeting; May 2, 2005, Regular Meeting; May 16, 2005, Special Meeting; May 23, 2005, Special Joint Meeting) Motion was made to approve the minutes by Bobby Myers, seconded by Carl Lucas. Motion carried by a vote of 7 ayes and 0 nays. 3. Public Hearing to consider the petition of Mitch Wofford for a change in zoning from a One - Family Dwelling District No. 3 (SF -3) to a One - Family Dwelling District No. 3 (SF -3) With Specific Use Permit (39) Mobile Home on Lot 3, City Block 234, being number 1631 W. Henderson. The public hearing was declared open. Mitch Wofford, 1631 W. Henderson, spoke in favor of the petition stating that he wants to put in a mobile home behind his house. The house on the property is not level, the ground has sunken down so low that it has busted a gas line. Mr. Wofford stated that he cannot get Planning and Zoning Minutes June 6, 2005 Page 2 anyone out to fix it. He plans to use the house for storage and eventually in about 5 years tear it down. Lisa Wright stated that at the time of the request, there was no mention that there was already a house on the property that would remain. When there is already a structure on a lot and you want to put another house on it, that is a multi - family lot and the petitioner requested single family lot with Specific Use Permit. Benny Plata stated that he does not like to see mobile homes go in where stick home are being built. Reeves Hayter agreed with Mr. Plata that there are quite a bit of new homes in the area and there are a couple of mobile homes in the area about a block away. There was no opposition, the public hearing was declared closed. 4. Consideration of and action on the petition of Mitch Wofford for a change in zoning from a One - Family Dwelling District No. 3 (SF -3) to a One - Family Dwelling District No. 3 (SF -3) With Specific Use Permit (39) Mobile Home on Lot 3, City Block 234, being number 1631 W. Henderson. Motion was made to deny by Benny Plata due to a technicality that the petitioner requested the wrong classification and that no mobile home should go in the area because new homes are being built nearby, seconded by Russell McCain. Motion carried 5 ayes and 2 nays. 5. Consideration of and action on the Master Plat of Pecan Place. Motion was made by Carl Lucas, seconded by Bobby Myers to approve the plat, subject to the City Engineer's Memo dated June 1, Planning and Zoning Minutes June 6, 2005 Page 3 2005, with a recommendation to City Council to waive curb and gutter along 36th Street N.E. and Clement Road in exchange for a 60' wide street built continuously across the Addition and exiting onto FM 195 by no later than Phase III which would ultimately take the place of 36th Street as a collector road. Motion carried by a vote of 7 ayes and 0 nays. 6. Consideration of and action on the Preliminary Plat of Pecan Place, Phase I. Motion was made by Benny Plata, seconded by Carl Lucas to approve the plat, subject to the City Engineer's Memo dated June 1, 2005, with an amendment to Item #2 of the Memo to add off -site ROW for Candice Drive to FM 195, with a recommendation to City Council to waive curb and gutter along 36th Street N.E. and Clement Road in exchange for a 60' wide street built continuously across the Addition and exiting onto FM 195 by no later than Phase III which would ultimately take the place of 36th Street as a collector road. Motion carried 7 ayes and 0 nays. 7. Consideration of and possible action on amendments to the Future Land Use Map, which is a part of the Comprehensive Plan, as it relates to the northwest quadrant of Paris. Reeves Hayter stated that the review of the southwest quadrant of town was completed at the last meeting. Ms. Wright sent the northwest quadrant this month. Mr. Hayter asked if everyone had time to look over it sufficiently to begin discussions at this meeting or if they would prefer to begin next month. The consensus was to discuss next month after some additional information could be reviewed. Lisa Wright stated she would get a good definition of Heavy Industrial and Light Industrial, and will get a study of Lake Crook. Planning and Zoning Minutes June 6, 2005 Page 4 Benny Plata said that Council decided, when he was there, that it would cost a lot to develop, therefore, they voted to leave Lake Crook as a park; but he thought they might be discussing other possibilities at this time. The question on the definition of Moderate Density Residential and Heavy Density Residential came up during the last discussion of the Master Plan. Reeves Hayter asked the Commissioners to look over the Future Land Use Map as it relates to the northwest quadrant of Paris. Meeting adjourned at 6:25 p.m.
