The meeting was called to order at 8:00 P.M. by the Chairman, J. Q. Galloway.
The first item on the agenda, a revised site plan for Sanford Villas, was
cancelled by the proponent.
The next item for discussion was a site plan and change of use from a S/F
dwelling to a pet grooming shop in an existing building in the RC -1 zoned
district at 437 W. 19th St. represented by Larry Blair. After reviewing the
site plan Mr. Blair was questioned as to whether any change would be made in
the parking arrangement. He said there would be no problem in straightening
out the parking according to the comments from the City Engineer. He also
said he had been in business at his present location for ten years and would
request the parking be unpaved because it will not be used for parking except
for droppin off dogs, and he would like to save the expense of paving. He
was told that the site plan shows paved parking and the P & Z does not have
the right to grant that the parking not be paved. Mr. Blair's only al-
ternative is to agree with the plan showing the paved parking and go to the
City Commission for a waiver. Mr. Morris moved to approve the plan.
Mrs. Roberts seconded. Motion carried.
The next item for consideration was a site plan and a request for a conditional
use of a 3,544 sq. ft. library and a proposed 2nd floor classroom addition to
the existing classroom building in the MR -2 zoned district at 810 Oak Ave.
represented by Diane Kramer. It was pointed out that a variance needs to be
granted by the Board of Adjustment for the rear yard setback on the classroom
addition and a front yard variance on the new library building. Mr. Willis
moved to approve the plan, contingent upon the granting of the needed variance.
Mr. Franklin seconded. Motion carried.
Mr. Herbert Ross and Mr. Robert Londeree were present to ask the board's opinion
of a preliminary plan for Groveview Village for townhouses: Mr. Ross said that
5 acres of the property is zoned SR -1 and a Public Hearing has been set to
rezone it to MR -1. They were presenting only a concept asking for some dir-
ection and said if the rezoning is approved, there will be 3 acres dedicated
for park area and 7 acres in retention. The units will be sold fee simple with
public streets within the property and a formal plan will be submitted. He
said they plan to have pads for two autos for each unit, without garages. It
was suggested that some provision be made as to the responsibility for reroofing
in a plan with a common roof over two or more units.
