REQUESTS TO APPROVE BUILDING PERMITS: a. Petitioner: Jim Green: Office Building on North First St. Chairman Gray introduced Mr. Green's request. A sketch of the construction proposed for the lot located on North First Street was presented by Mr. Green. Commissioner Kenny Elliott voiced that he had a problem with the sketch in that there is no detailed plan, nothing to tie the proposal as far as a legal description is concerned, elevations with regard to engineering drawings or flood plain information. After a lengthy discussion in which Mr. Green explained that the flood zone does encompass about five of the eleven acres in the Stonewall Subdivision he plans to develop. He said that the proposal before the Commission is speculation adding that the drawing being viewed and the proposed construction portion lies within the flood zone. Mr. Elliott voiced that he feels a more detailed plan should be submitted before the Commission approves a building permit; that no flood plain information is included in the proposed construction. Other members of the commission agreed that more detailed information, consisting of drawings by Mr. Green's engineer should be presented before a decision is made. Commissioner Belden pointed out that this is a small portion of the major development and that more information should be presented. City Engineer Reel said that he viewed this proposal as a sort of sketch plat adding that he would like to see an overall proposal of the development.. Commissioner Davis agreed that with proper information a building permit could be issued; a legal description, engineering drawings, setbacks, flood plain information, parking etc. Mr. Gray suggested that the item be brought back with engineering drawings for action at the next Regular Planning Commission Meeting.
