On the north facing wall there are currently three windows. In-between two columns is a window and they are proposing replacing this with a door. Currently access to the exterior and playground means children have to walk through a class room. They explained the Fire Marshal has asked them to provide an alternate exit for the school. As much as possible the original materials will be retained including the cast stone edging and rock facade. This door will help meet requirements for the school and City of Paris.

The firm handles real estate and corporate transactions with much of it being commercial development and multi -family development. Economic development is a new practice for them. The firm's pricing for services: general legal services - $150.00 an hour; consulting services would be at a reduced cost; transactions like incentive agreements after the first one, could be done in a flat fee.

A Motion to approve the minutes for the June 1, 2020 meeting with correction reflecting Keith Flowers called the meeting to order was made by Clifton Fendley, seconded by Cody Adams. Motion carried 6-0. 5. Public hearing to consider and take action regarding the petition of David L & Sherry E Whitaker for a change in zoning from a One -Family Dwelling District No. 2 (SF -2) to a One Family Dwelling District No. 3 (SF -3), in the New Beginnings Addition CB 242, Block A, Lots 3 and 4, LCAD 126819 and 126820, located in the 400 Block of 19th NW Easton states that David Whitaker is requesting a change in zoning in order to build a 1200 square foot home on lots 3 and 4 of the New Beginnings Addition. Mr. Whitaker has built two homes of this proposed size on lots 1 and 2 of the same addition, but due to the change in the zoning ordinance, he now must have SF -3 zoning for this housing product. Properties in the area are zoned SF -2, with exception of the school which is zoned Public Lands and Institutions. The minimum square footage for all new structures in the SF -2 zoning district is 1500, where the minimum requirement in SF -3 is 1000; therefore, a zoning change is needed for the proposed homes to be constructed at 1200 square feet. Public hearing declared open. With no one speaking the public hearing was declared closed. A Motion to approve this item was made by Clifton Fendley, seconded by Francine Aleeley. Motion carried 6-0. 6. Public hearing to consider and take action regarding the petition of'Crist & Elizabeth Pshigoda Foundation on behalf of Harper Six Family Limited Partnership for a change in zoning from a One -Family Dwelling District No. 2 (SF -2) to a Multiple -Family Dwelling District No. .1 (MF -1), in the City of Paris, Block 259, Lot PT of 14, LCAD 18277, located at N Collegiate & Pine Mill. Easton states that Mr. Brown representing the Pshigoda Foundation is requesting a change in zoning on behalf of the Harper Six Family Limited Partnership in order for multiple quadplexes to be constructed as a managed residential development. The current zoning of the subject property is primarily Single Family Dwelling (SF -2) with a small portion to the south as Planned Development District (PD-ef) for medical center or office center. The future land use provides two uses for the property. The northern section behind the homes on Briarwood is recommended to be low density residential, while the eastern section behind Fairway is recommended for retail along with properties fronting Collegiate Drive. The proposed property is currently accessible only by traveling through the Springlake Estates Subdivision from Pine Mill Road. This is a single-family residential neighborhood, and the amount of traffic along these streets will increase with any development on the subject lot, but significantly more with a multi -family development. Access is the greatest challenge, and should a development such as this be approved, it would need direct access to a collector street such as Collegiate Drive or Pine Mill Road. Pursuant to the existing zoning designation and the future land use, staff recommends denying the request for a zoning change from Single Family Dwelling District 2 (SF -2) to Multiple Family Dwelling (MF -1). Public hearing was declared open. The following spoke in opposition of the petition noting concerns of increased traffic, safety, disruption of neighborhood, deed restrictions, drainage issues, access, noise, decreasing property value, no sidewalks, and removal of trees: Wanda Stevens, 925 Fairway Steve Ekstrom, 725 Medalist Juan Garcia, 3005 Briarwood Donna Burnett, 830 Bunker 3enci Garcia, 815 Fairway Wesley McKee, 835 Fairway Margie McKee, 835 Fairway Carol Hufnagel, 720 Bunker Victor Bridewell, 925 Bunker William Lancaster, 825 Fairway Rodney Hood, 930 N Collegiate Linda Fleming, 1040 N Collegiate Sue Ross, 3095 Briarwood Triniti Frazier advised commissioners that thirty-seven (37) Zoning input Forms were submitted in opposition of the petition. The following spoke in favor of the petition: Wayne Brown, 3055 NE 33rd states that Crist & Elizabeth Pshigoda Foundation is trying to expand more affordable housing for senior citizens. They have a large demand for senior citizen housing which has gone from eight units to two -hundred units with locations on Cherry, Bonham and Clarksville Street. Brown states that senior citizens have to be 60 years or older to get into this type housing. They picked this location because it is close to three nursing homes. It would be 52 -units, single story apartments with yard maintenance. Most of the tenants are single; therefore, it would not be a lot of additional traffic. Don Wilson, property owner states that if this does not pass then it would be developed with 41 lots of single-family starter homes. He states the Pshigoda Foundation has a positive track record and they would have much less traffic than the development of single- family housing. Public hearing was declared closed. A Motion to deny this item was made by Chad Lindsey, seconded by Cody Adams. Motion failed at 3-3 with Clifton Fendley, Francine Neeley, and Austin Anthony in opposition. A Motion to table this item was made by Francine Neeley, seconded by Cody Adams. Motion carried 6-0. 7. Public hearing to consider and take action regarding the petition Home Vesting LLC for a change in zoning from a General Retail District (GR) to a One -Family Dwelling District No. 2 (SF -2), in the City of Paris, Block 187, Lot 2, LCAD 15984, located at 845 Lamar. Easton states Tamara Sexton with Home Vesting LCC is requesting a change in zoning in order to lease the property for residential use. The site has been previously used for retail and office space. Ms. Sexton purchased this property in April 2020 and immediately leased it as a residential dwelling. The Code Department responded to complaints of trash, at which time the City became aware of the residential use in a retail district. Ms. Sexton is requesting the zoning change in response to the code case; in addition, without the zoning change, she will be unable to lease this property as residential space. The future land use plan calls for this site to be retail use, primarily due to its location along Lamar Avenue, which is a high traffic thoroughfare. The existing land uses in the immediate area include retail, medical office, law office, grocery and fuel station. There are nearby residential properties to the north of Lamar Avenue in the general vicinity of the subject property, but they have access from local streets and face interior to other residential areas. Easton states the Commission should take care to consider this specific request relative to the surrounding land uses and the comprehensive plan. A zoning change for this property alone is not consistent with the long-term goals of the city, as outlined in the future land use plan. Staff recommends denying the request for a zoning change from a General Retail District to a Single Family Dwelling District. Public hearing was declared open. The following spoke in favor of the petition: Jeff Starnes, Attorney representing Tamara Sexton Tamara Sexton, owner/applicant Peggy Hearn, tenant of 805 Lamar Steve Clifford, City Mayor, 2050 Silverleaf Dr Public hearing was declared closed. A Motion to approve this item was made by Clifton Fendley, seconded by Francine Neeley. Motion carried 5-1 with Chad Lindsey in opposition. 8. Public hearing to consider and take action regarding the petition of Monte Moore for a change in zoning from a General Retail District (GR) to a Neighborhood Service District (NS), in the City of Paris, Block 249, Lot PT 35-D, LCAD 108624, located in the 3000 Block of Clarksville. Easton states that Monte Moore owns the subject property currently zoned General Retail as well as the adjacent property that is already zoned Neighborhood Service. The owner proposes to construct duplexes at the end of Pride Circle. Duplexes are allowed in a Neighborhood Service zoning district, but access would be most appropriate from Clarksville Street instead of Pride Circle, as it is a low-density residential district. A development of the subject lot for multi -family structures would be best served by the extension of Pride Circle to Clarksville Street, or creating access from Clarksville Street instead of from Pride Circle. Public hearing was declared open. Monte Moore, 530 Laurel Ln, is the owner/developer and he wants to develop duplexes facing Clarksville Street and reserve the back portion of this property for three single- family lots on the Pride Circle side. He states he does not think it is necessary to extend the street through to Clarksville Street because there is only 700 feet to Johnson Woods Dr with little to no traffic there. He proposes a cul de sac as an option. Don Wilson, 3110 Stacy Ln, states he supports this item with a caveat of not extending Pride Circle through to Clarksville Street. Based on comments from the following they are also in support of the zoning change but are opposed to extending Pride Circle through to Clarksville Street: Guy England, 3065 Pride Circle Terry James, 3130 Pride Circle Meyers Hurt, 3121 Pride Circle Jodi Tobin, 3170 Stacy Ln Mary Lou Coe, 1070 SE 31 It Street Public hearing was declared closed. Clifton Fendley requested notation of the desire not to extend Pride Circle through to Clarksville Street. Carla Easton advised that would be handled through the platting process. A motion to approve this item was made by Clifton Fendley, seconded by Francine Neeley. Motion carried 6-0. 9. Consideration of and action on the Preliminary Plat of Lot 1, BlockA of the M & R Sulsar Addition, LCAD Property ID 110781 and 50113, located in the 4000 Block of Hwy 271 N. Easton states Mark and Roberta Sulsar are proposing to build a single family home on the subject lot. They have submitted a preliminary and final plat of the property. Lamar County Water Supply provides water service. City sewer is not available this far north, so an onsite septic system will be necessary. Access is provided from Highway 271 North. The property is not located in a flood zone area. The building of a home on Block A, Lot I is allowed in the current zoning. It appears that the preliminary and final plats comply with the City of Paris subdivision regulations with the following revisions: 1. Provide 20' "Utility" easement from US 271 to the pad site. 2. Clarify the acreage shown on the call. Total property shows 3.533 acres in title block, with reference to Document 170551-2022 for 1.0 acre. A motion to approve the Preliminary Plat with noted revisions was made by Francine Neeley, seconded by Cody Adams. Motion carried 6-0. 10. Consideration of and action on the Final Plat of Lot 1, Block A of the M & R Sulsar Addition, LCAD Property ID 110781 and 50113, located in the 4000 Block of Hwy 271 N. Easton states this is the same plat with same comments. A motion to approve the Final Plat with noted revisions was made by Cody Adams, seconded by Tylesha Ross. Motion carried 6-0. 11, Consideration of and action on the Preliminary Plat of Lot 1, Block A of the Mo Jo Woods Addition CB 249, LOAD .Properly ID 17986, located in the 3000 Block of Clarksville. Easton states Monte Moore owns .35 acres located in 3000 block of Clarksville Street, and he is proposing to construct a duplex on the lot. The owner has submitted a preliminary and final plat of the property. City water and sewer are available and access to the property is from Clarksville Street. The property is not located in a FEMA designated flood zone. It appears that both the preliminary and final plats comply with the City of Paris subdivision regulations. A motion to approve the Preliminary Plat was made by Francine Neeley, seconded by Cody Adams. Motion carried 6-0. 12. Consideration of and action on the Final Plat of Lots 1-4, Block A of the Mo Jo Woods Addition CB 249, LOAD Property ID 17986, located in the 3000 Block of Clarksville. Easton states this is the same plat with same comments. A motion to approve the Final Plat was made by Clifton Fendley, seconded by Austin Anthony. Motion carried 6-0. 13. Consideration of and action on the Preliminary Plat of Lot 1, Block A of the Bullard Addition CB 294, LCAD Property ID 18500, located in the 200 Block of 30th NE. Easton states that Brad and Kimberly Bullard are proposing to build a single family home. They have submitted a preliminary and final plat of the property. City water and street access are available to the property from 30th NE. The property is not located in a FEMA designated floodplain, though there appears to be a natural swale crossing the property from north to south. It appears that the plat complies with the City of Paris subdivision regulations with the following revision: Note the natural channel crossing the property (to remain unobstructed). A motion to approve the Preliminary Plat with noted revisions was made by Clifton Fendley, seconded by Cody Adams. Motion carried 6-0. 14. Consideration of and action on the Final Plat of Lot 1, Block A of the Bullard Addition CB 294, LCAD Property ID 18500, located in the 200 Block of 30th NE.

Consideration of and action on the Replat of Lot 8, Block C and Lot 7, Block D of the Stone Ridge Phase IVAddition, LCAD Property ID 118096 and 118102, located in the 4600 Block of Deer Haven. Easton states that Lucas & Courtney Krogman own Lot 7, Block D and Kory Lawson & Shelbi Phiffer own Lot 8, Block C of the Stone Ridge Phase N subdivision. They are currently being developed with single-family homes. The lots have a common boundary line where a 15' utility and drainage easement is provided on the final plat, however, due to terrain and final building plans, the channel is actually 10' south of the original lot line/drainage easement. This replat aligns the dedicated easement with the actual channel as constructed. The owners have submitted a replat of the subject lots to reflect the true location of the easement and lot lines. Water, sewer, and street extensions were provided with the original subdivision. It appears the replat complies with the subdivision regulations. A motion to approve the Replat was made by Cody Adams, seconded by Francine Neeley. Motion carried 6-0. 16. Adjournment.
