REPLAT of Lot 1 Rebsamen Medical Subdivision to Lot 2 Haskins
Commercial Subdivision
Representative Mr. Tommy Bond thanked the Commission for making
themselves available for the special meeting. He stated that he
feels this is important to the economic issues for Jacksonville.
He explained that the Board of Adjustment has granted a 25’
setback waiver on Lot 1 of the Rebsamen Medical Subdivision. He
stated that issues for the Hospital Board are being handled,
adding that copies of the proposed amendment to the bill of
assurance have been provided. He related that there has been no
negative feedback thus far, explaining other issues for the
Hospital Board do not have any bearing for the Planning
Commission. He related that the issues before the Hospital Board
are the relocation of the billboard to the corner of Lot 1, and
Mr. Hanner is trying to purchase Lot 2 of the Rebsamen Medical
Subdivision. He noted that if Mr. Hanner is successful in
purposing Lot 2 he will be able to add an additional 10,000
square feet to the 30,000 square foot commercial development.
City Engineer Whisker stated that lot 2 of Haskins Commercial
Subdivision is the property left from the development of the New
China Restaurant property, combined with Lot 1 of what is the
Rebsamen Medical Subdivision. He stated that utilities are on
site, adding that he would request a bond for the sidewalks. He
added that any approval motion would need to be contingent upon
the Hospital Board approving its portion before going to City
Council.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Herbold, City
Engineer Whisker clarified that sidewalks would be required for
both Marshall Road and John Harden Drive.
