The first item for consideration was a site plan for a 17' x 28' addition to the
Gingerbread House Child Care Center, in the GC -2 zoned district at 2536 Elm
Ave. represented by Mr. Earl M. Pfluke, Jr. He said they need the addition

thru teller stations for the Flagship Bank in the SC -3 zoned 'district at 200
W. 1st. St., represented by LeRoy Robb. During the discussion regarding land-
scaping, trees and shrubbery were added to the site plan. Mr. Robb said that when
the new construction is finished the existing stations will be removed. This
was not part of the approved plan. Mr. Miller moved to approve. Mr. Barks

The next item for discussion was a site plan and a request for a conditional
use for a 1559 sq. ft. classroom addition to the Hickory Ave. Church of God
in the MR -2 zoned district at 503 Hickory Ave. represented by Rev. Sanders.
The Board of Adjustment granted a variance of 7 ft. on June 13, 1980 but the
site plan had not been changed to reflect this or any commitment on the paving
of the parking lot or the alley to be used for access. Mr. Willis moved to table
the item until a revised plan is presented. Mr. Franklin seconded. Motion
carried.
The Minutes from the previous meeting were approved. The regular meeting was
adjourned in order to open the Work Session for discussion of PUD zoning.
Mr. Knowles was present to answer the questions from the board members regarding
representation from the engineering staff at the meetings. He said all information
would be channeled to the Zoning Director regarding any changes which might
alter the information in the written comments from Engineering. There was dis-
cussion regarding the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and Mr. Knowles said the members
would receive their copies when the allotted time had elapsed for comments from
other cities and counties and final approval by the City Commission. He also
said the board would be provided with recommendations for rezoning inactive PUD
areas, recommended changes to the Zoning Ordinance regarding PUD, definition of
Townhouse, and other changes.
