Chairman White called meeting to order and welcomed new rre:mbers to the Planning
Commission. He stated that each man was very capable and able to face any pro-
blems that may arise; and certainly, they would all need some fair arrount of
intestinaL_ fortitude to withstand the upcoming events and pressures that would
be placed upon them from time to time.
Mayor Reid welcomed each member, also, and introduced them along with all mem-
bers of the Planning Comnission. He stated that his secretary, Nancy Gerren,
would be taking the Minutes until Shirley Pierce could take over.
Revisions and changes to Jacksonville Municipal Code book dated September 16,
1976 were presented in sealed packet to all members of commission by Mayor's
Office. New member, Bob Stender, requested that he be checked out a code book
as he had returned his previously to the Purchasing Department. Nancy Gerren
stated she would see to it that Mr. Stender was given an. updated book . the next
day.
Chairman White then extended a welcome to visitor from Metroplan, Mr. John
Harrington and invited him to participate in meeting.
Chairman White requested, with concurrence from commission, that a deviation
from agenda be allowed at this time insofar as having election of officers for
the new year. He requested this item to be considered last on the agenda.
Robert Runge ITDved, seconded by Hugene 'Wooley that the Minutes of December 7,
19 76 be approved as written and presented. All voted in the affirmative.
At request of Bob Stender, Chairman White updated new commission members on
how sketch plats are to be brought before the commission and what procedures
are followed. Mr. Stender had a question on sketch plat that was presented
at last meeting that Foxwood development had submitted.
At this time, City Engineer Owens presented a Sketch Plat for Phase II, North-
lake Subdivision. He then outlined subdivision requirements as per present
code regulations to new members for their information. He stated the code book
lists proper procedure to follow and contains check list on items each developer
has to comply with 'When submitting plats to city engineer. Each developer is
given this check list to fill out before city engineer will present plat to
Planning Commission for action.
Chairman White referred to a letter dated December 29, 1976 from Jerrel N.
Fielder, Bond Consulting Engineers that requested commission's approval on
aforementioned. Sketch Plat.

Mr. Owens and Mr. Fielder presented an update re}X)rt on previous action
taken by Planning Commission on Northlake Subdivision. They stated that
Dupree is developer of this particular subdivision and that Bond Engineering
is in the process of developing Preliminary Plat for submission during the
rronth of February. Some discussion followed concerning the proposed North
Belt Loop being considered in this subdivision plan. The route of this
highway is tentative at this t.JJ:ne. It was further brought out that Bond
Engineering had been working with the Arkansas Highway Department on rights-
of-way for aforementioned roadway through subdivision. Mr. Fielder stated
it was his company's intention not to build in highway department right-of-
way. For planning purfDses, Mr. Fielder also stated that his company v.Duld
leave a 300-foot right-of-way to be used for Arkansas Highway Department's
North Belt Loop corridor.
The Metroplan Transportation Study is being updated at this present time
and should be finished by June of 1977; also, Metroplan projected 1985-1990
would be when aforementioned highway would be needed.
Mr. Owens stated that on the original Sketch Plat submitted there was an
elevation below which no houses would be built and Bond Engineering would
follow along with this plan to ease any fears of building below flood plain.
He also said he went along with original Sketch Plat design, and that he had
no objections to Phase II. Mr. Fielder announced his company would comply
with minimum flood plain standards.
There were some questions as to submission of different phased plats at
this time by new members . So, Mr. Owens and Mr. Harrington explained sub-
mission procedures that are followed that follow and meet city's criteria on
Sketch Plats, Preliminary Plats, and Final Plats.
Dr. Sidwell rroved, seconded by Cleo Cavender that the Sketch Plat for Phase
II, Northlake Subdivision be approved, provided that it meets city's criteria,
as outlined in code book. All voted in the affi:rrnative. MYriON CARRIED.
Chairman White presented a letter from West Surveying Co. introducing next
item of business on agenda which . consisted of a request to approve Final
Plat, Section 8 of Northwood Acres Subdivision, containing 21 lots and that
correct fee had been paid by developer.
Mr. Owens stated that Sioux Trail is located on the east end of Tecumseh
Trail and that this street was not completed at this time. Also, extensions
of Tecumseh and Cheyenae have not been started. He further announced that
in order for this submitted plat to become a Final Plat that it would have
to be required that a bond be put up for the streets to assure the city that
the streets would be finished in compliance with regulations.
It was brought forth at this t~me that there would be no sidewalks provided,
as this was waived . on first phase-anc1 "North Jacksonville Subdivision"
was the former name of this subdivision when it was first plotted out.

In further discussion and upon further examination by commission members, it
was learned that there were sorre sewer easements that were not shown in sub-
mitted Final Plat. Mr. Owens said Mr. West was drawing force main lines on
the map at this tirre to correct this.
Mr. Owens' recomnendation to ~omnission was that this Final Plat be approved,
with a bond of $6,000 be posted on ccrnpletion of Sioux Trail, streets, and
storm drainage.
The fact that ;consumers buying property should be aware of all utility ease-
rrents was discussed because no building can be done on these easerrents.
Chairman White said that easements for utility services were taking up a lot
of space, but in today's society, this is a necessity.
Mr. Owens stated that the developer was working on flooding situations related
to Jack's Bayou and they were well aware that these lots are in the flood plain
and all houses are going to have to be built above stipulated flood level.
Hugene Wooley moved, seconded by Bob Stender to approve the Final Plat, Section
8 of North~od Acres Subdivision, containing 21 lots with the recomnendation
of the City Engineer on posting of a bond by developer in the amount of
$6,000 to accept the streets, and that updated drawings by West Surveying Co.
be provided depicting correct location of sewer force main. Commission rrem-
bers: Wooley, Stender, Cavender, Sidwell, Wampler, Runge, Betts and White
voted aye; Dennis Lock abstained. IDtion received 8 affirmative votes, 0
negative votes and 1 abstention. .MJTION CARRIED.
A request to approve plat of dedication of street right-of-ways in Northwood
Acres Subdivision was presented by Chairman White by the reading of a letter
fran West Surveying Co. This includes Cheyenne Trail, Natchez Trace and
Tecumseh Trail. Mr. Owens stated that Tecumseh at one time was falling to
pieces and that Mr. Gray had paid for the some of the asphalt that was put
down on this particular street. Also, he stated that Cheyenne Trail was the
best of the 3 streets, but all 3 met city standards. He had no objections
to accepting these 3 streets for city maintenance.
Financing of ho~ with streets not being developed was discussed at this
time. Mr. Owens stated that there is sorre difficulty in consumers obtaining
loans on homes that are located on streets in a subdivision that have not
been completed; they are requiring that acceptance of city streets be
accomplished before loans can go through.
Bob Stender moved, seconded by Robert Runge that approval be given for
dedication of Cheyenne Trail, Natchez Trace and Tecumseh Trail to the city.
Canmission members: Wooley, Stender, Cavender, Sidwell, Wampler, Runge,
Betts, and White voted aye; Dennis Lock abstained. .Motion received 8
affirmative votes, 0 negative votes and 1 abstention. MOTION CARRIED.

At this time, Mayor Reid armounced to the members that action was required
from them for a recorrmendation to be . given to the City Council on an i tern
conceming the building of a 13 story apartment complex for the elderly
that is to be built adjoining the post office property. It will be located
on South Hospital Drive. He stated that it would be required that an
amendment to the ordinance be enacted lifting height restriction of buildings
in the city. At this time, the present code calls for 2 1/2 story height
limitation with max~ footage being 35-feet in C-2 and 75-feet in M-2.
This aforementioned legislation would be required in order for Jacksonville
Towers Board to submit final grant application to H.U.D. for this high-rise
apartment complex. A discussion followed concerning adequate fire protection
being provided for this building, and waivers being requested by Towers
Board from R>ard o f Adjustrrent on parking and density requirements.
Bob Stender moved, seconded by Wallace Wampler that request for amendment
to the ordinance be approved on lifting restriction of height of buildings
in the city of Jacksonville. All voted in the affirmative. MYI'ION CARRIED.
Mayor Reid stated that Jerrel Fielder has resigned as a member of the Board
of Adjustment along with resigning from Planning Commission, effective
January 1, 1977. Therefore, the city requires a replacement be appointed
to the Board of Adjustment and this appointee would have to come from
Plarming Cormnission membership, per ordinance requirements. He said that one ·
member of aforementioned board had to come from Planning Cormnission and the
other two members could be appointed by the mayor and confirmed by council.
These two members are to be citizens of Jacksonville.
Mayor Reid then explained to new members the items of business that come
before the Board of Adjustment for ruling. He also outlined newspaper
advertising requirements of public hearings that have to be held on each item
that comes before board.
Mr. Wallace Wampler volunteered his services to be considered as a member of
the Board of Adjustrrent at this tline. Mayor Reid thanked Mr. Wampler and
said his nomination for this position would be placed on agenda for city
council confimation on January 20, 1977.
Jerrel Fielder armounced that the city has received a Public works Grant to
rerrodeL twJ streets in town. He said this fits in exactly with the Master
Stree t Plan very well and confirms priority list that was approved by Plarming
Cormnission with Metroplan' s participation some weeks ago. He saia his firm
was working with utility companies on relocation of lines. His t11inking on
this subject of utility relocations was that maybe the Plarming Cormnission would
be a good place to start thinking about the possibility of the city requiring
penni ts from them before any new lines are laid. He said the Highway Department
has a gocd plan to work from and suggested that the city take this into con-
sideration and use their formula for utility placements in the future. Further,
there is 11,000 feet of gas line that has to be moved on aforementioned project,
plus 3,000 feet of telephone cable that needs relocating. And this is done
at no the expense of the utility companies. He stated that when a street
needed to be widened or improved in any way at this tiTre,, the utility re-
location is at developer's expense or the city's. So, he recorrmended a permit
be issued to all utility companies with language to the effect that if the
JACKSONVILLE PlANNING COMMISSION
JANUARY 4TH, 1977
PAGE 5
the city had to come in and do so:rre improvements, the relocation of utility
lines would be at the utility's expense and not the city's expense. It was
Chairman White's feelings that the Planning Commission should do some work
on this so that the city will not have to shoulder the burden of expenses
involved in utility relocations.
Chairman White, with concurrence from membership, stated that the commission
needed to have the City Council look at north of the airbase for annexation
possibilities in the near future. Dennis Lock said he would bring back to
commission table a map that he possesses that outlines proposed annexation
of this undeveloped land. This map will be available at cornnission rreeting
in February. Mayor Reid stated that this proposal would be included in his
State of the City Report that will be submitted to Council on January 20,
1977.
Hugene Wooley moved, seconded by Robert Runge that a Special Meeting be
held on Tuesday, January 18, 1977 at 7:30 p.m., CitY Hall, for the purpose
of meeting with Metroplan on Comprehensive Development Plan for the City
of Jacksonville. All voted in the affirmative. (This meeting will consist
of further discussions and action being taken on Transportation Study being
conducted by Metroplan and Master Street Plan for the City of Jacksonville
·to be forwarded on to City Council after completion of cornnission's work.)
Dr. Sidwell extended the idea that the city needs to contact the fonrer mem-
bers of the Planning Commission by letter and thank them for past services
rendered. Mayor Reid said that the city was trying to formulate plans for
an appreciation dinner for these former members and council members also who
have served so well in the past.
Bob Stender moved, seconded by Frank Betts that the cornnission wait until
February and postpone any action to select officers to serve on this year's
Planning Cornnission. All voted in the affirmative. MJTION CARRIED.
Dr. Sidwell moved, seconded by Cleo Cavender that meeting be adjourned
until special meeting called for on January 18, 1977. All voted in the
affirmative. MOTION CARRIED.

Rep.; Shelby Capps; John New, Code Enforcement Director; Jerrel

Chairman White called meeting to order and declared a quorum was
present. Robt. Runge was absent as he had to attend to an out-
of-town engagement .
Chainnan White stated that correct procedures should be adhered to
in the future on placing of items on commission agenda because pre-
vious experience has proven that as the year goes on, there are many
items of business to be considered. 'Iherefore, anytiiD2 prior to
the previous Wednesday to the following first Tuesday of the month
is correct time for items to be reported to commission secretary.
Aforementioned Wednesday, cut-off day for acceptance of business
to be considered, is necessary in order for agenda and attachiD2nts
to be properly prepared and sent out to commission members for study.
Chairman White said special commission meeting set for the 18th of
January was postponed; therefore, Mr. Bandel of Metroplan will
present Comprehensive Developnent Report at this :m2eting as last
item on agenda. He also welcomed Annabelle M::>ore and rrembers of
the Parks & Recreation Commission.
In a deviation from agenda, Chairman White, with consent of commission,
requested election of this year's officers to be considered later
on in meeting.
APPROVAL AND/OR CORRECTION OF MINUI'ES
a. Cleo Cavender moved, seconded by Wallace Wampler that the Minutes
of January 4, 1977 be approved as written and presented. All voted
in the affirmative. MJI'ION CARRIED.
a.
UPDATE OF PREVIOUS BUSINESS
Chairman White outlined a telephone converstation he had with a
local builder recently who wanted to buy a lot owned by General
Properties adjacent to Wal Mart Shopping Center on north side of
said building. He said that a portion of this property had been
dedicated for parking spaces in the original plot plan that was
submitted to the city. One hundred twenty (120) spaces are
supposed to be built on a portion of aforementioned lot in question.
Mr. White announced he could not go along with property being sold
d'
4.
5.
.JACKSONVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION
FEBRUARY 1ST, 1977
because he knew that 120 spaces were supposed to be reserved and
park.ing lot built. The transaction .involved sell.ing part of the
land to :j::he developer, plus taking part of the area set aside for
parking sapces, which resulted in overlap of land being negotiated.
Due to the obligaton to city concerning park.ing spaces to be pro-
vided .in shipping center, he said General Properties shall make
some changes to develop adequate parking for said shopping center
as the developer is 60 short at this time.
NON-AGENDA ITEM (.MELLERS PHOIO lABS, INC.)
a. Bill Owens, City Engineer, introduced item of bus.iness not on
agenda; this bus.iness concerned possible parking problem in-
volved with film distribution drive-in center (Mellers Photo
Labs, Inc.) to be constructed at Jacksonville Shopping Center.
b. Mr. Owens stated he brought this before commission simply because
he was deeply concerned when this first came to his office and
to the attention of the city Code Enforcement Director for the
issuance of a building permit. The city might ~possibly have
concern for adequate parking because of shopp.ing center being
over extended .in park.ing allowances in immediate area, because
of expansion of First Jacksonville Bank. He said code now calls
for l parking space for 200 sq. feet of building lot coverage
in C-2 zone.
c. After review.ing situation further on allowance of aforementioned
structure, Mr. Owens said his investigation revealed there are
601 park.ing spaces at shopping center now, and the needs are
550/560 spaces. The film corrpany v.ould possibly take up 4
spaces, backup 2 rrore, and possibly 6 would be needed. The
exact proposed location of film center would be where the Lion's
Club sells their ChrisbTh:l.s trees every year/S. W. corner of center.
It was also brought out that Kelly Ann Florist will be replaced
with park.ing spaces, so with this extra space made available, it
does not seem to over-obligate the park.ing situation.
d. Mr. Owens stated he just wanted to be sure commission knew that
this bus.iness was contemplating going .in and that if city does
not watch it, developments can be overbuilt.
~· Bob Stender moved, seconded by Dr. Sidwell, that a building p2rmit
be issued to builder so that film distribution center can beg.in
construction. All voted in affirmative. MJTION c:ARRIED.
REQUEST FDR REZONING/J & J CONSTRUCTION CO ./R-0 to C-2.
a. Chairman White read letter submitted by James A. Rogers of J & J
Canst. Co., which reques'ted rezoning from R-0 to C-2 a parcel
of land conta.in.ing 2. 56 acres, located on Hiwy. 67N and LRAFB
reservation. The check being received and receipted into the
city general fund in the amount of $50 was acknowledge c?. He
then presented copy of p lat describ.ing legal boundaries and copy
of floor plans of ,proposed funiture store to -be built on afore~
mentioned lot.

JACKSONVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION
FEBRUARY 1ST, 1977

b. Mr. OWens outlined on zoning map exactly where property is located
and said lot is not in the fire district.
c. It was brought out by Dennis Lock that only 1.25 acres should be
rezoned at this time instead of original aforementioned request
of 2. 56 acres. General consensus of members was that a possible
mistake occurred in letter and agreed with this assumption. Mr.
OWens stated he would contact petitioner on this change.
d. Cleo Cavender moved, seconded by Dr. Sidwell that Public Hearing
be set on rezoning petition received from J & J Canst. Company,
1.25 acres, R-Q to C-2, for March 1, 1977 at City Hall, 8:00 p.m.
All voted in affirmative. MJTION CARRIED. (SEE ATTACHED EXHIBIT
A FOR LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY TO BE REZONED)
NON-AGENDA ITEM (MAP OF POOPOSED ANNEXATION)
a. Dennis Lock presented to rrembers a copy of map describing proper:!zY
that had been discussed at last meeting. Map depicted land owned
by Metropolitan Trust Co., that takes in back of LRAFB, north of
the Bayou Meta Creek and which c gjesses Hiwy. 107. It was brought
out that the majority· of vnimproved land ~ers· in. area have said
they didn't mind if this was annexed into the city~ This property
will very possibly be developable as residential. It was Mr.
Lock's recommendation that each member study map and bring it back
to next regular meeting, have city atty. draw up exact legal des-
cription of said properties, and recommend annexation of same to
the council. Recommendation was adopted by commission membership
in general consensus form.
ELECTION OF OFFICERS FDR 1977
a. At this time, Chairman White turned meeting over to Mayor Reid after
suggesting that commission elect a Chairman, Vice Chairman, and
Secretary for 1977. He left the room for the nominations and voting
procedures to begin.
b. Mayor Reid suggested that commission choose a Chairman and a Vice
Chairman, but leave secretarial duties to Nancy Gerren, and that
commission find in favor of having City Engineer and Chairman of
Commission jointly sign off all final plats submitted to city.
c. Dr. Sidwell ;rrov~g, seconded by Hugene Wooley to re-nominate Mr.
T. P. White as Chairman and Cleo Cavender as Vice Chairman for two
reasons (1) They have willingly taken on the brunt of the past work
(2) It would bring about a certain am:mnt of continuity. All voted
in affirmative. MJTION CARRIED.
d. Mayor Reid corrplirnented the commission on their decision and on Mr.
White's outstanding job as past chairman. He suggested to commission
that it would be his recommendation to start on a rotating system in
this matter of electing officers so that everyone will have an
opportunity to serve the community: or this could be accanplished
automatically by the Vice Chairman taking over.
JACKSONVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION
FEBRUARY 1ST, 1977
PAGE 4
e. General consensus of corrmission was that they would follow the
Parks & Recreation Commission guidelines and that is--a person
cannot serve over two years, consecutively.
f. Hugene Wooley moved, seconded by Bob Stender to cease nominations.
All voted in affirmative. JVDTION CARRIED.
g. Dr. Sidwell moved, seconded by Cleo , Cavender that the city engineer
sign the final plats along with the chainnan of corrmission before
plat begins its final action. All voted affirmative. MJTION
CARRIED.
h. According to Chairman White, the Mayor, Fire Chief, Chairman and
City Engineer have already been cooperating together in getting
these signatures on all final plats and on all building permits
being requested. He said the city is trying not to make any more
mistakes than possible, and with aforementioned signatures affixed,
there is a check and balance system that will make mistakes less
likely to occur.
l. Chairman White also stated that on outside city business he has
never signed anything off before the county planning board has
seen the paperwork. The corrmission does have jurisdiction over
a 5 mile radius of an agreed line on all subdivisions, streets, etc.
j . Chairman White announced in accepting chairmanship, this V\Ould be
his last year to serve in this capacity and thanked the membership
for voting him in one more time. Cleo Cavender thanked membership
and said he would also accept the re-nomination and he would serve
as Vice Chainnan.
k. As corrmission agenda items were finished, Chairman White turned
meeting over to Charles Randel of Metroplan.
COJYlPREHENSIVE DEVEIDPMENT PROGRAM PRESENTATION
8.
a. Mr. Randel said he would bring to commission at a later date the
Corrmunity facilities Report. At this time, he would discuss schools
and parks.
b. An update report on Master Street Plan with priority listing of
streets was presented. The only item discussed at length on this
subject was the realignment possibility of West Main Street. Mr.
Randel presented l\1aster Street Plan map. General consensus of
opinion was that W. Main St. could not feasibly be straightened
out to follow along section line because of this area being in
flood plain, and the main objective to leaving street as out-
lined is to serve abutting properties so they could have access
to road.
JACKSONVIlLE PLANNING COMMISSION
FEBRUARY 1ST, 1977

c. Mr. Randel proceeded to display school zone map depicting
attendance zones in Jacksonville area. He said schools should
serve neighborhoods and that there are enouqh schools in the
city of Jacksonville for the future in keepi~g with population
growth pattern.
d. Mr. Randel presented a map depicting parks in Jacksonville area.
He outlined his recommendation for a more intensive program of
acquisition for future park sites and facilities. His recommendation
brought out that in Act 186 of 1957 and which is reinforced by
Jacksonville Subdivision Regulations, that developers should pro-
vide reservation in either the form of dedicating lands for parks
use, or setting up of a contribution in egui valent amount in lieu
of land. Said contribution of money is to be used for the acquisi-
tion of facilities that serve that particular subdivision. This
can be construed to rrean that parks that are being developed should
be within a "reasonable" area of a developer's subdivision. A
special fund could be set up for this purpose instead of land
dedication.
e. Annabelle Mbore, Parks & Rec. Director, said that one large park
facility instead of many parks in an area would be advisable
because maintenance becomes a definite problem.
f. Ms. Moore also brought out that at the rgresent ti.Irte there is a big
movement toward utilizing school and community facilities in a
joint venture. The program has . been working out very well, in that
this is one way the city can acquire facilities and land usage
without having to purchase land. She said the county officials
were Very receptive to this plan so far and that Warren Dupree
would be the next school facility they would be working with.
g. Mr. Randel said Mayor Reid had appointed a Citizens' Committee to
work with new city facilities to be built •. He said he wanted to
work very closely with s a id committee on this project so that his
report would be complete and have continuity.
h. Mr. Randel announced he is going to finalize this material in one
formal publication for a final review. Eventually, this document
will come before a public hearing and then to the city council
for final action.
9. SPECIAL .MEETING DATE SET
a. The 22nd of February, 7:30 p.m., City ~Hall was final date decided
on for another special rreeting to be conducted dealing with Community
Facilities Review being developed by Mr. Randel of Metroplan. The
secretary of commission will call all members to remind them of
said meeting.
Meeting was adjourned with consent of all present, with no fonnal motion made.

SPECIAL MEETING
FEBRUARY 22, 1977
The Jacksonville Planning Commission held a meeting on February 22, 1977,
at 7:30 p.m. at City Hall. Those in attendance are as follows:
Bob Stender; Wallace Wampler; Hugene Wooley; Cleo Cavender; Dennis Lock;
Robert Runge; Bill Owens, City Engineer; Mayor James Reid; Nancy Gerren;
Metroplan representatives, Steve ~itchell and Charles Randel.
In the absence of Chairman White, Cleo Cavender called meeting to order.
He stated that meeting had been called for futher study into the Compre-
hensive Development Plan for the City of Jacksonvlle. The time was then
turned over to Charles Randel.
Mr. Randel stated that what M2troplan had to present at this meeting was
going to seem rather repetitious to members of the commission, in that
the city council had already set a fixed program of sites for fire fight-
ing facilities that would be built with passage of a recent bond issue.
He then introduced Steve Mitchell who proceeded to outline his profes-
sional analysis of fire fighting facilities for the city.
l'1r. Mitchell presented a typewritten document he had prepared concerning
aforementioned facilities. He stated there are specific standards on
estimated fire risks and that the city of Jacksonville has a very low
fire risk. This was due to the newness and lowrise ·character of build-
ings in the area. He stated the basic requirements is to locate the
"first due" engine dispatch. Fbr the residential sections of town the
standard is set at three miles with the max imum allowable distance from ·
the second dispatch providing the first alarm response increases to
2 1/2 miles for areas with Jacksonville's fire risk. It was brought out
that the establishment of a fire district wnich Jacksonville has recently
adopted will have a bearing on fire insurance rates.
1'1r. l'1.itchell presented an overhead projector map presentation at this
time. Using a scaled down map of the city, he outlined through the use
of colored overlay s the service area of the three proposed fire stations.
The localities of the fire stations as approved by the city council are
as follows:
(1) Redmond Road and JI.'Iain Street area (new central station)
(2) Vandenberg and North First Street (substation)
(3) Cloverdale at Highway 161 area (substation)
Mr. Mitchell stated that these three sites had few deficiencies and
served the city well, area-wise, in fire fighting coverage. He said
he had examined aforementioned locations as to coverage of commercial,
industrial and residential areas, and he agreed with these sites. He
brought out that undeveloped areas which do not have streets in the
vicinity at this time were not included in coverage because of their
inaccessibility. He recommended, also, that development in the flood
plain areas should be somewhat restricted because of insurance not being
obtainable and loans for construction pruposes by financial institutions
are being turned down in these high risk areas.
JACKSONVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION
FEBRUARY 22, 1977
PAGE 2
In discussion, the airbase fire department is to be considered on an
"emergency" basis ONLY; therefore, these particular facilities are not
included in plan.
It was further discussed that as Jacksonville's growth moves westward to-
ward Gravel Ridge area, the building of a new central fire station at
Redmond Road area, coupled with volunteer fire department facilities pro-
vided by Gravel Ridge on Highway 107, tihat these two stations would ad-
equately serve this western section of the community •.
Mr. Mitchell recorrmended, and was his final professional op1n1on, that
these aforementioned fire fighting facilities had been well placed and he
proposed that locations be adopted and sites pursued.
I Charles Randel stated the Planning Commission needed to bring the Compre-
hensive Development Plan discussions together in a complete form and pre-
sent to council for final adoption. 'Ihis doCl.Uient 'IM)uld involve the ·
following: LAND USE PLAN: MASTER STREET PIAN: FACILITIES REVIEW. This
document would also inculde maps. The following plan of action was adopted
by commission at this time:
(1) Within the next 30-40 days ~1etroplan would compile data in one
complete document including aforementioned sections along with
maps. '!his would be ready in draft form for distribut1on to
council for their review and changes. (This is a courtesy situation)
(2) The city council would be presented a forementioned draft document
at a council meeting possibly April 7, 1977, then it would be
brought back at following council meeting. April 21, 1977.
(3) Public hearing/hearings would then be conducted for citizen input.
(4) Final step is to have city council adopt final document in RESOLUTION
FORM so that this can be policy of the city for the future.
The Planning Commission membership discussed the fact that present regula-
tions should be updated according to these new developments considered in
final plan to be adopted.
After draft document is prepared and studied, the commission's membership
will then present each section of proposed plan to city council, with help
and assistance of Metroplan.
Meeting adjourned.

With consensus of commissioners to proceed, Chairman White
announced that Public Hearing scheduled for rezoning petition of
J & J Const. Co., be considered later on in the meeting because
the ;time scheduled for same of 8: 00 p.m. was not reached at this

Tommy Bond presented above referenced plat and stated that
there were 93 lots in these phases, with average size lot being
106 feet in width. No sidewalks are provided.
In outlining said plat, Tommy Bond presented an overall
original sketch plat of entire development in order to depict
the phases of development progress. He outlined in green ink
for commissioners said phases to easily indentify subject
properties involved.
There was discussion concerning road access into this
phase of the development, and some concern was raised by
commissioners . Hendrix College retains ownership, at this
present time, part of development that would include extension
of Madden Rd. into these bordering phases being considered at
this meeting. Mr. Mike Boyd, developer's representative,
stated that this concern would be alleviated, in that the
final plat stage would show through street/streets for access
to properties.
Concern was also expressed on open green spaces for play
or park areas that needed to be provided. Mr. Boyd stated
there was a gas line easement that could be utilized for this
because no construction could be forthcoming due to regulations.
Therefore, this 6 acres of easement, 165 feet wide, will be
designated for a play area. This property is situated on back
lot line where apartments are proposed to be built later on.
In the vicinity of Quapaw and Foxdale Circle there is
some dedicated land that the city has not done any thing with;
this was dedicated in ~Phase IV. Therefore, the commissioners
outlined the following availability for recreational purposes:
a. ADJACENT GJLF COURSE (FDXWJ.JD COUNTRY CLUB)
b. DEDICATED PARK AREA NORTII OF THE SUBDIVISION
c. PIPE LINE EASEMENT -OPEN PIAY AREA

provision for zero lot lines and the ones that have been set up
have been instituted in special cases only and that this portion

City Engineer, reported that zero lot line provisions have been
set up in a portion of Stonewall Subdivision, but only under
special, specified conditions.

correct category for zoning classification in this instance.

c. Jerrel Fielder, Engineering Representative, explained to
commission membership how their firm was planning to design
this subdivision for developer, Mr. B. J. Burroughs, insofar
as providing adequate drainage. He explained that a swale

the city, but also on Wright Circle. He mentioned that there
is no way, in his estimation, to control water north of the
lots in this particular subdivision. He stated the developer
was not making the drainage conditions any worse for the area,
but by the same token, they were not making it any better by
building this subdivision.

in aforementioned area to cormnissioners at this time: The
city of Sherwood has closed Oneida Street, Squaw Island, recently
because of flooding situation; and since the other access into
development . area, off of w. Main St., was closed last week due
to flooding problems on W. Main St. itself, there is a problem,
a very serious one in his estimation, of proper and adequate
ambulance, fire and police services being provided when adverse
weather conditions prevail and high water stage? are reached.
c. Mr. Owens stated he did not feel that he could put his
stamp of approval on this phase until a proper access road could
be provided into area.
d. It was brought out that Mr. Dupree, developer, has agreed
to build up road leading off of W. Main St., thus giving access
into subdivision 90/95% of the time from Main Street area. But
due to water problems, Mr. Owens stated that in his opinion
the city needs a definite commitment from the developer for a
road that would not be under water.
e. At this time, it was announced that on the 28th of April there
f.
a.
will be a hearing conducted on aforementioned closing of Oneida
Street.
Comn. Wooley moved, seconded by Comn. Wampler to approve
Preliminary Plat of Northlake Subdivision, Phase II, Subject to
the additional all-weather entrance and exit access road being
provided by developer and subject to passage of water, sewer
and street plans by State Health Dept. and City Engineer. Motion
approved by voice vote. MOI'ION CARRIED.
FINAL PLAT/STONEWALL SUBDIVISION, PHASE III -B
Chairman White acknowledged that $35 fee had been received
from Bond Engineers and receipt for same was on file; he read
submission letter concerning above referenced plat. Said letter
L((;
JACKSawiLLE PlANNING COMMISSION

requested plat be approved subject to city accepting streets and
utilities for maintenance. The owners request that the plat
be approved subject to acceptance of utilities.
b. Jerrel Fielder, Bond rep., stated that this phase is exactly
like the preliminary plat and reported that no changes had been
made at all.
c. At this time, Cormn. Stender announced that he was completely
against approving aforementioned plat because he felt the de-
veloper was not providing adequate underground or on top drainage
for residents living in and around Essex Court and Essex Cove
in adjacent phase.
d. In rebuttal, Bill Owens, City Engineer reported that this
phase ][-B was built in accordance with preliminary plat pro-
visions that was submitted to the planning cormnission several
rronths ago and it was in accordance as far as drainage goes to
the city regulations at that time.
e. Mr. Owens then presented a contour map of the area in relation-
ship to other parts of said subdivision, explaining that at the
time this was designed, Phase I and Phase II, the city regulations
were followed insofar as designing drainage for a 2" rainfall.
f. Mr. Owens further reported that right after this particular
subdivision was developed, said rainfall provisions were in-
creased to 4" instead of 2" in an ordinance passed by city
council. This has provided. that all developers now have to
install adequate drainage systems to handle this 4" of rain-
fall in an hour' s time.
g. The following residents of ,S;tonewall.:Jrive, Essex Court
and Essex Cove were recognized and expressed their dissatisfaciton
with a dike/levy that developer of subidivision had built in their
area to provide flooding protection for two homes adjacent to
this new phase of subdivision, thus causing their homes and yards
to become inundated with mud and high water everytime it rained.
(1) MR. RUTLEDGE (2) MR. J. R. SMITH (3) MR. CHARLES
WHITTAKER (4) MR. JOHN WILSON (5) MR. FRED DAVIS
(6) MR. DAVID LOBENDELL (7) MR. ROBERT "BOB " STENDER
h. At this time, Bond Engineer reps., updated the membership
on the fact that builders and contractors were dumping waste
concrete and refuse into storm drains. This practice stops up
the undergroung drainage systems very fast, and this is part
of the problem causing flooding conditions in this part of
Stonewall. Tormny Bond reported that even in the best of cir-
cumstances, underground storm drain)ig ~ systems are not too
effective because of the many prob{h~sm experienced by the city
crews in trying to maintain them. He reported, also, that his
firm is trying to go to "surface" drainage systems in the future.

flooding situation existing on Essex Court and Essex Cove in Stone-
wall Sulx1ivision, Comm. Cavender moved, seconded by Cornm. Wooley
that the commission included this item of business along with
flooding problems and flood control in meeting scheduled for April
19, 1977. Approved by voice vote. MOI'ICN CARRIED.
10. . PRELIMINARY Pwr PLAN/BUILDING PERMIT REQUESI'/MR. KHAIRI FIIAT/
PARRISH ST.
a. Chairman White introduced a letter from Bond Engineering
outlining a request for issuance of a building permit for Mr.
Khairi Filat. Plot plan was introduced at this time.
b. In discussion that followed, it was brought out that the
city cannot issue a building permit on an uplatted piece of
property. Mr. Jerrel Fielder reported that this land will be
replatted. He stated this presently is part of LRAFB Main Sub-
division. He also said that this property was bought by Mr.
Filat by metes and bounds and the property would be recorded
as the next phase of Heraldry Manor Sulx1ivision.
c. Some discussion and controversy arose as to having a cul-
de-sac or "turn around" provided at the end of Parrish Street
for utilization by the public and service vehicles, as they do
not have a way to turn around on said street and they presently
have to resort to turning around in private driveways. A pro-
vision of this sort was not provided for in submitted plot plan.
d. It was the consensus of the membership that aforementioned
provision for tum-around at the end of Parrish Street was not
the responsibility of Mr. Filat as he was not developer of area.
e. Cornm. Wampler moved, seconded by Cornm. Wooley that this
11. a.
aforementioned request for a builidng perrni t for Mr. F ilat be
approved. Motion received the following votes: Commissioners:
Stender, Wampler, Wooldy, Betts, SiE!.well, Cavender and White
voted aye; Commissioner: Lock voted nay. Motion received 7
affirmative votes and 1 negative vote. MariON CARRIED.
DEVIATION FROM AGENDA -CLOSING OF CHURCH STREET
Chairman White, in a deviation from regular agenda due to
lateness of hour, recognized Daisy Olson, representing Earl
Smith, owner of lot #56, M.J. Henry Estate Addition to the
City of Jacksonville. Said petitioner's letter of submission
was reaCi -'by Chairman White at this time explaining that Mr.
Smith was requesting commission's recommendations as to the
closing of part of Church Street, which is platted between
Lets 55 & 56, and Lots 57 & 58, and also for approximately
150 feet between Lots 55 and 52.

Ms. Olson and Mr. Smith said they believed that they
could obtain all necessary consent signatures of adjoining
property owners before submitting request for closing of this
portion of Church Street to City Council, vvhich by law requires
a public hearing to be conducted by said body.
To substantiate the above, Bill Owens, City Engineer,
presented at this time a map depicting undedicated street as
is being utilized by public at this time, and showing the
correct platted street in relation to adjoining lots, existing
street, and all of the Church Street area.
At this time, Mayor Reid and Bill Owens reported to member-
ship that Mr. Andrew Nelson, an adjacent property owner, had
approached them about the city building the street as originally
platted.
The general consensus of membership on aforementioned item
of business was that this item be placed on special meeting agenda
called for April 19, 1977 in order to give Mr. Smith time to ob-
tain consent signatures frc:m property owners affected by this
proposed change in street boundaries. This will be Item No. l
on said agenda for convenience of petitioner, as requested by
City Engineer.
REVAMPING -CITY'S SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS
At this time, Corrm. Lock presented some of his ideas on
what needs to be done insofar as revamping subdivision regulations
presently in effect in the city of Jacksonville. Comm. Wooley
suggested that another special meeting should be called just to
deal with this complicated item of business. It was also brought
out that Metroplan needed to be in on this from the grolind floor
to obtain their expertise in such matters.
It was general consensus of membership after discussion ensued
on Corrm. Lock's presentation, that aforementioned item of business
be tentatively set up for the next regular meeting scheduled for
May 3, 1977. (Comm. Sidwell left the meeting just prior to this
decision, and did not have any input to report pro or con on this
item of business)

HALL CONSTRUCTION
a. At this last meeting of commission, March 7, 1977, Corrm. Lock
requested membership be thinking about a formal recorrmendation
to present to city council on above referenced city hall construction
proposal. At this time, Mayor Reid gave an up-date on bond issue
that passed in Nov. of 1976 and the bond issue that failed on same
date. He stated that the city is holding both fire and police con-
struction until the city can determine if bonds can be sold together
with city hall building.

of said properties.
e. Mr. Owens explained that Phase II was designed for
a 2" rainfall and this phase was in accordance with exist-
ing regulations at the tline of construction. However,
since that tline, the regulations have been changed to allow
for a 4" rainfall, thus requiring a 36" pipe, vs. a 12"
pipe.
f. Bond Engineers, at request of commission, reviewed
slides of existing terrain in Stonewall Sub.

M:i.yor Reid announced that the city is in the process of
having topo maps prepared at an estimated cost of $60,000.
This will enable engineering department to forsee drainage
problems in the future.
Dick Giddings of Pulaski Financial Services was recognized
by Chairman White at this t.llne. He stated that he was aware
of the drainage problems in the Stonewall area and offe red
Mr. Bond's expertise to be at the city's disposal in order
to help correct deficiencies in drainage of the subdivision
on the agenda.
RECESS OF 10 MINUTES WAS CALLED BY CHAIRMAN "Wl:IITE
FLOOD CCNTROL SLIDE PRESENTATION
At this t.llne, Bill Owens reviewed slides of areas in
Jacksonville that are prone to flooding, including North-
wood Acres, Jack's Bayou, end of Nina and Sharp Streets, etc.
Mr. Owens explained that the city needs to start thinking
about changing existing ordinance governing building regulations.
He suggested the Planning Commission organize a committee to
look into this situation of drainage difficulties. He state d
that when the ordinance was passed changing rainfall stipulations
fran 2" to 4" it helped considerably in the size of pipe to
be installed to handle runoff; thus, this was a step in the
right direction. He suggested to -te.,he commission that they
consider a stricter ordinance requiring a builder to have
permission of the city engineer and city inspector in writing;
said builder could not build less than six inches above the
curb level. This would only be a general rule, with extenuat:-
ing circumstances taken into consideration and being allowed for.
Also, he recomnended that the engineer set elevation on the
final plat.
Comn. Sidwell rroved, seconded by Corrm. Cavender that the
Commission request Mr. Owens, in conjunction with voluntary
assistance of Mr. Bond, to come up with a recomnendation for
said body at next meeting in May as an amendment to our city's
subdivision regulations, naming floor elevations . and lot
grading plan. Approved by voice vote. MOTION CARRIED.
COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT PIAN/DRAFT COPY DISTRIBUTION
Chairman White distributed copies of a draft form from
Mr. Randel of Metroplan consisting of Comprehensive De-
velopment Plan for the city of Jacksonville. He stated
if the agenda for the 3rd of May is not too long, this

ATTE!:ilD.ANCE AND OPENING REMARKS BY CHAIRMAN
The Jacksonville Planning Commission held its regular scheduled
meeting on Tuesday, May 3, 1977 at 7:30 p.m., with the following
persons in attendance:
T. P. White, Chairman; Cleo Cavender, Vice Chairman; Wallace
Wampler; Dennis Lock; Dr. Albert Sidwell; Hugene Wooley; Bob Stender;
Frank Betts; Robert Runge; Bill Owens, City Engineer; City Consulting
Engineers, Tommy Bond and Jerrel Fielder and Nancy Gerren, Secy.
Chairman White called meeting ot order and declared a quorum present.
DEVIATION FROM AGENDA
With consensus of ccmnissioners to proceed, Chairman White announced
that public hearings scheduled for two rezoning petitions would be con-
sidered later on in meeting because of time situation.
WAIVER REQUEST/SIDE-YARD SETBACK REQUIREI'·iENTS /J & J CONSTRUCTION COMPANY,
wr #ll, BI.()2K #2, NEELY SUBDIVISION (Ross Circle and Loop Rd.)
Chairman White read submission letter from above referenced
petitioner stating the firm had made a error in locating position of
house on above property in that they protruded over the fifteen foot
side-yard building line by five feet.
b. Bill Owens presented a "before plot plan" depicting survey accomplished
by West Surveying Company, Jacksonville, that was dated January 19, 1976.
Said plan outlined proposed residence with correct building lines shown.
An "after plot plan" was displayed by Mr. Owens, dated April 12, 1977,
with survey being accomplished by aforementioned finn. The latter
survey depicted a rock and frame residence built with an encroachment of
five feet over the side-lot requirements.
c. It was brought out that said residence was finished at this time
and this was last house in this part of the development to be constructed.
Also, Chairman White's investigation revea 1 ed there was a house
located directly behind that backs up to this residence; and Loop Road
has quite a bit of right-of-way and properties yet to be developed, so
the neighborhood wouldn't be affected by said encroachment.
d. Mr. Owens said he did not forsee a problem with waiver being granted
in this one instance, but he also brought out for the record that he
definitely didn't want incident to set a precedent for future builders.
e. In discussion, the question arose of whether it is the City In-
spector' s responsibility to check our survey plot plans; Mr. Owens said
it is the developer's and surveyor's responsibility to perform this task.
Also, he stated it is not normal practice for City Inspectors to do this
checking of surveys and it is not on any checklist for duties to be
preformed by said city employee.

of all contractors in the area, and that this approved waiver should
not be misconstrued as setting a precendent or policy. Approved by

knowledged $10.00 received as fee for review of above referenced plat.
Bill Owens stated that the water and sewer lines were in compliance

this time for access into this development; also, that it is the
developer's intention to construct at 36 foot, back to back curb street
within the Madden Rd. right-of-way, with a sidewalk to be constructed
down one side of said street.
It was discussed that the average lot width is to be slightly greater
than 100 feet; therefore, this would not require sidewalks, as per sub-
division regulation interpretation.
Comm. Cavender moved, seconded by Comm. Stender that aforementioned
Foxwood Subdivision, Preliminary Plat, Phase VI-c be approved with access
road being provided as stated. Approved by voice vote. MariON CARRIED.

ing was solely for purpose of proposed rezoning aforemenbioned properties
from R-0 to R-3 and the matter of zero lotlines being established is
another matter entirely and is not covered under existing ordinance, nor
would this zero lotline proposal be encompassed in this proposed rezoning.

Mr. Paul Daulton and Mr. Ken Anderson, residents of area proposed to
be rezoned, inquired at this time as to the nature of the structures
planned to be built if rezoning is approved. Mr. Peacock stated that
it was not his intention to build apartments at this location, as rumor
had it. But he said he did want to build homes that low to moderate
incc:me families could afford, 1,000 square footage each, and the se
would be joined together, possibly two homes, by a common wall. Thus,
consumating a "townhouse" or "clustered heme" e ffect.
Mr. Peacock presented a sketch plan of the development to both the
area residents and corrmissioners; said plan was examined by all parties.

At outset, question arose as to whereal:outs of committee members assigned by the
Mayor's Office that council requested at last meeting to be in attendance to give
extra input into revamping of sul::di vision rules and regulations. Mayor's Secretary,
Nancy Gerren, stated that Mayor Reid had not appointed any council members or any
builders at this time because it was his belief that all of the information accumu-
lated and acted upon by the commission membership would be forwarded to the council
for final action.
Bill Owens presented a plat of Phase III, Briarfield Sul::division that Mr. Jim Peacock
is attempting to have rezoned from R-0 to R-3. It was bro~ght out that the council
did not act on ordinance setting out aforementioned rezoning because the Planning
Ccmn. corrmittee had not met and brought forth action on "zero lotline" houses sup-
posedly going to be built on said lots in said subdivision. After much discussion
concerning the layout of the approx. 84 homes to be built on the 12 acres contained
iri the subdivision, it was decided that questionable items as to parking require-
ments, lot width and depth and street width should be brought up at committee meeting
when said get-together convenes.
City Engineer Owens, with consent of those present, assigned the following members of
the corrmittee to di~ferent sub-ccmnittees:
(l) DRAINAGE -RESIDENTIAL
(2) GENERAL SUBDIVISION
REQUIREMENTS & FEES
(3) ZERO WI'LINE/SMALIER

Bill Owens described procedure he is using when new plats come into his office. He
stated that he works closely with water, sewer and street departments on services
to be provided therein.
It was brought out that Metroplan and Ark. Home Builders assn. should be invited to
meet with the Planning Commission in future meeting concerning cost of new homes, etc.

After the work is finished on said subcommittees and information is compiled into
one document, the general consensus of those present was that the total cost in-
volved in proposed new rules and regulations be compiled and ascertain how much
it is going to raise costs of construction in this area and if some of it is really
worth the trouble.
The general consensus of Commission membership was that all sub-corrmuttee findings
should be in writing and presented to whole membership at June 7, 1977 regular
scheduled meeting for study . A meeting date of June 15, 1977 for final compilation -
was d e cided on.

ZERO LOTLINE DISCUSSION/RECOMMENDATIONS FRCM COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN,
ROBERI' RUNGE
Chairman White introduced a letter which was sul:mitted by
Committee Chairman Runge outlining his recommendations concern-
ing zero lot line provisions being considered at this time, in
conjunction with Briarfield Sub. Ph. III.
Committee Chairman Runge stated in his letter that it VJOuld
appear that a special district notation for this concept might be
in order. He felt that camnission needed to control the zoning
under conditional uses at present; also, as trends and market
enter into the demand, then commission would need to reconsider
the addition of the special district notation for zero lotline
housing developnents under R-1, R-2 and R-3 as a permitted use.
Comm. Runge had worked up an exhibit depicting his recommenda-
tions as they would be contained in code itself and this was pre-
sented to commission membership by Chairman White at this time for
study and evaluation. (Said recommendations and exhibit is on
file at city hall, Planning Commission records)
After discussion concerning alternative lot widths and lengths,
Chairman White recommended to commission that special committee
previously set up to work on zero lotline provisions do some more
study and work on this item of business along with evaluation of
Comm. Runge's recommendations presented. It was noted that Mr.
Runge's recommendations did not address by name Mr. Peacock's Phase
III, Briarfield proposed subdivision request. Chairman White
appointed Comm. Betts to replace Comn. Runge as Chairman of said
committee to serve along with Comn. Stender marking a two-man
committee, versus original three-man appointed committee.
Zero lotline discussion was discontinued at this time so Public
Hearing scheduled for 8:00p.m., could be dealt with at this time.
Chairman White stated when aforementioned zero lotline discussion
re-convenes after public hearing he would like to hear from Bill
Owens, City Engineer, and for him to present his recommendations
concerning this matter.
PUBLIC HEARING/REZONING REQUEST: PEI'ITIONER, BEN RICE, LEGAL COUNSEL;
CHAPEL HILL .MEMORIAL PARK/1. 72 ACRES, FROM R-1 TO C-1.
Chairman White acknowledg ed proof of publication notifying public
of Public Hearing to be conducted concerning above referenced item
of business. He also acknowledged that signs had been posted on
affected property. Public Hearing was declared open for discussion
at this tline.
Floor plans were introduced at this time by owners of funeral
home. They stated they planned to construct a building measuring
approximately 126' x 64' with an insurance office incorporated as
part of building on property, if it would be rezoned to C-1 allowingfor
this type of building.

c. After no dissenting opinions were heard from those in attendance,
Comm. Stender moved, seconded by Comm. Sidwell that above referenced
property be rezoned from R-1 to C-1 and this recommendation to be
forwarded to council for final action by submission of proper ord-
inance rezoning same. Approved by voice vote. MOI'I<J'J CARRIED.
7. ZERO LOTLINE DISCUSSION/RECONVENED
a. Bill Owens, City Engineer, recommended that in his oplDlOn, this
type of lo~cost housing serves a definite need in the city and by
approving Mr. Peacock's Subdivision this need would be satisfied.
But he also cautioned that the Planning Commission would have to con-
trol this type of construction through conditional use judgment at
this time. He stated he would rather see this controlled inside
the city limits rather than having construction involving zero lot-
line provisions be built outside city limits on its fringes and later
on having to solve problems concerning this type of construction if
area is annexed. Parking was another problem discussed.
b. Discussion ensued at this time on access passage from front to
back yard for lawn care, and it was general consensus that this luxury
would have to be dismissed in order to have low-cost housing built.
A Property Owners' Association establishment was discussed but dis-
missed also because of the cost involved for individuals living in
subdivision having to pay dues to keep back and front yards mowed, etc.
c. Mr. Randel, Metroplan Rep. , offered to make available a sample
ordinance setting forth zero lotline guidelines for commission.
d. Comm. Sidwell moved, seconded by Comm. Stender that the Preliminary
Sketch Plat submitted by Mr. Jim Peacock, Briarfield Subdivision, Ph. III,
allowing for zero lotline provisions be accepted as an experimental
type, model housing development consisting of 15 lots with the follow-
ing stipulations and waivers to be granted.
(1) TO BE CONSIDERED AS EXPERIMENTAL OR TRIAL MODEL AREA ONLY.
(2) STIPULATION THAT IT BE ALLOWED IN R-1, R-2 OR R-3 ZONE. (CONDITIONAL USE)
(3) EACH UNIT (15) HAVE OFF STREEI' PARKING PAD FOR TWO (2) VEHICLES
and
that in order for aforementioned subdivision to be constructed with
the following waivers and aforementioned stipulations, area would have
to be rezoned under conditional use only.
Waivers to be granted: (1) SIDEWALK REQUIREMEti!TS (2) RIGHT-QF-WAY
REQUIREfvlENTS -FROM 50-FT. TO 35-ft. (3) SIDE-YARD REQUIREMENTS
TO BE WAIVED FROM 5-FT. MINIMUM TO 0 FT. MINIMUM (4) MINIMUM IDI'
DEPTH WAIVED FRC1'1 100-FT. TO 85-FT. (5) MINIMUM LOI' WIDTH WAIVED

a. City Engineer Owens presented preliminary plot plan depicting
petitioner's request to replat above referenced property. He ex-
plained to commissioners the reason for replatting these 2 lots
was to allow for 4 trailers to be placed thereon, thereby splitting
the lots allowing for placement. He further stated said 2 lots ·
are located in an R-4 zone and meet requirements. Mr. Qv..rens said
he advised petitioner to split the two lots originally platted
so that each of the four trailers would have a separate lot, and
also he did not want to go against ordinance which specifically
does not allow two structures to be placed on the same lot.
b. Cornm. Wooley moved, seconded by Comm. Stender to approve re-
plat of Lots 4 and 5, Block 7 of Bomber Base Addn. to City of Jackson-

matic car wash business to be built in a C-2 zone, under conditional

gard, Corrm. Wooley moved,. seconded by Comm. Stender to recommend approval

12. REVAMPING OF SUBDIVISION RULES & REGULATIONS-SUBCOMMI'ITEE REPORI'S (Exh. B)
a. Corrmissioners Lock and Wooley did not have their reports ready for
submission at this time, so Chairman White requested City Engineer Owens
and his subcorrmi ttee assigned to report on proposed ordinance that would
regulate the construction of residential houses built within city limits
of Jacksonville.
b. Mr. Owens and Comm. Sidwell presented a written proposal concerning
their assignment and recommended the attached Exhibit B as preliminary
steps to be considered in the overall package of drainage control.
c. Tommy Bond, Bond Engineers, proceeded at this time to present an
oral report on his subcommittee findings concerning general subdivision
requirements and fees. He addressed his remarks solely toward the
fees being charged by the city for plat submittal.
d. Mr. Bond stated that it was his committee's feelings that the city
needed to set a minimum fee for any plat submitted; therefore, his
recorrmendations were as follows:
0-20 lots -$200.00 minimum fee charged
up to 50 lots - $ 10.00 per lot
-$500. 00 maximum fee charged
e. Mr. Bond mentioned that the city has to have density tests conducted
on city streets being accepted;---thus, tfiis---leads to quite a bit of ex-
pense that isn't being covered by present fees being charged by city.
f. So that subcommittees can have further time to study and bring
forth their recommendations, Chairman White and commission membership
stated they would meet again at scheduled meeting date of June 15, 1977
to go further into evaluation of sul:xlivision rules and regulations.
13. COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT PLAN

Dermis Lock, Dr. Albert Sidwell and Bob Stender. Robt. Runge, past member of Planning
Comm. was present as a visitor and contributing party; Tanmy Bond, Bond Engineers
and Bill · Owens,. City Engineer.
Bill Owens, City Engineer, conducted meeting.
SUBDIVISION CHANGES AND FEE STRUCI'URE
Tommy Bond presented a written report on his committee's findings on Subdivision Re-
quirements and fees and . changes recommended on same. Mr. Bond's "Proposed Revisions
to Subdivision Regulations" dated 6/21/77 consisted of starting on Page 213 of
Municipal Code through Page 220. See Exhibit A for changes suggested. Said report
was discussed thoroughly by committee membership and subsequent changes to Mr.
Bond's recanmendations were made as outlined in aforementioned Exhibit A.
Mr. Bond suggested to committee and general consensus agreed that aforementioned
changes could possibly result in higher costs for home owners .. Therefore, Mr. Bond
stated he would assemble a Cost of Development plan incorporating said changes to
ascertain the ultimate cost involved and then Planning Commission membership could
decide if changes were going to be worth the effort.
Comm. Lock suggested that the sketch, preliminary and final plat submittal by de-
velopers be brought in simultaneously in order to avoid changes being forgotten
between development of subdivisions. Bill Owens stated he watches this quite
closely and does match up aforementioned earlier plat submittal to make sure that
what was passed by said body and council will be adhered to in future plats. Comm.
Runge~suggested a "change order" type of system to assist City Engineer in this
task. It was stated by City Engineer with consensus of those present that sub-
missions to city council should be as stated in ordinance; that is, streets, sewer
and water systems, plus re-zonings are the only items to be passed on by said
body.
SMALLER SUBDIVISIONS, R-lA CLASSIFICATION
Corrm. Lock presented a written proposal consisting of his committee's recommenda-
tion on possible development of a new Rl-A classification. Said classification
proposal is designed to reduce cost of development in order to design and
accomodate small (10-acre) tracts. Committee members Lock and Wampler emphasized
that there was a definite need for homes with low square footage and lower cost
housing, thus enabling young married couples, elderly individuals and single
people to own a home of their own. (Exhibit B outlines proposal) Roadbeds and
streets in smaller subdivisions were discussed at length. Double seal bituminous in-
stead of asphalt surface was debated in order to reduce costs to developer.
PARKS/RESERVATION OF LAND
Corrm. Wooley stated that he had discussed development of land for public parks
and recreational activities with Jacksonville Park Director Annabelle Moore and
the Parks & Recreation corrmissioners. Said corrmissioners presented Comm. Wooley
with a copy of an ordinance recently passed by the city of Rogers, Arkansas that
calls for .35 % of the value of construction permits applied for and issued by
the City Inspector for the City of Rogers be applied toward a special fund.
JACKSONVILLE PlANNING CCMMISSION
JUNE 21, 1977
PAGE TWO
Said fund and administering of same was discussed at length by commissioners
as outlined in aforementioned ordinance. It was Corrm. Wooley's recorrmendation
and with general consensus of membership that a similar type program/ordinance
be initiated for the city of Jacksonville as the collecting of monies to go
towards park development as outlined in this ordinance would be the most effective
and easiest way to administer program. (See Exhibit C for copy of Ordinance #877)
General consensus, also, was that if an ordinance as mentioned is adopted by
the city, that the funds for acquisition of land and improvements of park areas
should be set apart in special account and not mixed in with general funds of
the city. The Canprehensive Development Plan outlining subject of parks and
reservation of land for development of parks was discussed along with other items
included in said document. Comm. Wooley reported that a Master Park Plan had
been developed by Parks Corrmission and adopted by said body.
DRAINAGE/RESIDENTIAL AREAS
City Engineer Owens discussed a former proposal he had submitted to the committee
concerning proposed ordinance dealing with raising the elevation of houses
built to be at least six inches above existing curbside. Mr. Owens stated he
had an e ngineering student working with him this summer. Said student is in
process of preparing a comprehensive flood study that eventually will resolve in
allowing the city engineer to set elevations for construction of hanes ln
a proper manner. This action will eliminate, hopefully, drainage problems occurring
in the future for residential hane building, as reported by Mr. Owens.
LETTER OF APPRECIATION/RECOSNITION
City Engineer Owens, at this time, presented past corrmission member, Robert
Runge, with a Certificate of Recognition and a letter of appreciation out-
ling Planning Coillmission's thoughts on his past dedicated service to the community
through his efforts of serving on Planning Commission the past 2 l /2 years.
Mr. Runge accepted both documents and thanked membership. He then presented
his recorrmendations on zero lotline proposal for the city:
ZERO I.OTLINE RECOI1MENDATIONS
Mr. Runge stated he thought there was a definite need for above referenced classifica-
tion to be included in zoning ordinance. He stated he had reviewed thoroughly the
zoning ordinance existing at this time and it was his thought that the city should
adopt zero lotline provisions under conditional usage in R-1, R-2 and permitted
use in R-3 classification.
A meeting was set for another committee hearing on revamping subdivision rules
and regulations for Thursday, July 14, 1977, 7:30p.m., City Hall, Jacksonville,
Arkansas.
With no fo:rnal motion forthcaning, meeting was adjourned.

Mr. Owens presented a map of area, and stated that subdivision
had been presented to commission at an earlier date. Aforementioned
map outlined old plan. Mr. Owens then presented a sketch plat of
new design. The old plan had 139 lots and new design consisted of
113 lots. Mr. Owens refreshed commission members' memories on pre-

He further brought out that the developer did
not want to make the improvements to General Samuels that needed
to be accomplished in order to open subdivision. The new plat was
discussed and it contained design for cul-de-sacs that take care
of some of the traffic problems involved heretofore, in that cars
would not be backing out on to General Samuels Road with exception
of nine lots. It was brought out, also, that the developer will
have to curb and gutter the areas that are "rounded out" and serve
as cul-de-sacs.
b. Mr. Owens recommended the commission approve this newly revised
sketch plat conditional on the arterial roadway being constructed
and a "T" type drive being constructed where those lots have drive-
ways that back out on to General Samuels Road. (Lots 73 through 81)
c. Comm. Wooley moved, seconded by Comm. Lock that the Sketch Plat
for Woodland Hills Subdivision be approved subject to a provision
being made for lots 73 through 81 having "turn-arounds" constructed
in order for drive-ways not to be backed on to General Samuels Rd.

THOSE PRESENT: Committee Members: Commissioners: Wooley, Stender, Sidwell and
Lock. Tommy Bond, Consulting Engineer and
Bill OWens, City Engineer
Bill OWens conducted meeting.
The following committees reported their findings:
DRAINAGE/RESIDENTIAL
Comm. Sidwell and Bill Owens presented a revised written proposed ordinance that
would regulate construction of houses in city. (See attached Exhibit A for re-
vised document)
Consensus of members present was to accept aforementioned proposed draft, with changes.
SUBDIVISION REQUIREMENTS/FEES, ETC.
Tommy Bond and Bill Owens stated that the two previous submittals of proposed
changes would stand at this time as their committee's proposals to changing
above referenced items. The only added item discussed was as follows: General
consensus of opinion as to amount to be paid by developer as properties come
in to the city in the way of set fees, that the developer should pay 1/2 of
proposed fee when preliminary plat is submitted and 1/2 of fee when final plat
is~submitted; thereby, this would split up total costs to the developer on sub-
mission of plats to commission for review. The same amount of increased :fees
were discussed as previously submitted without change, as follows: ( 0 -20 lots,
$200.00, up to 50 lots -$10.00 per lot, $500.00 maximum fee )
Comm. Lock requested that plats from sketch, preliminary and final stage along
with water, sewer and street plans should be brought forward to commission when
subdivisions are brought up and placed on agenda for consideration. The general
consensus was that this gesture of courtesy from city forces would be appreciated.
Also, it was suggested the city council be afforded same courtesy and that all
plats be available for complete review and evaluation if a question should arise
on plat submittal.
PUBLIC LAND RESERVATIONS/PARKS
Comm. Wooley presented for a second time his proposed ordinance that has been
enacted by the city of Rogers, Arkansas, which is presently in effect.
The commission membership agreed, after much discussion, to having a draft ordinance
prepared for consideration for the city of Jacksonville with following changes:
Fee shall be computed at 30% of the building permit fee that is issued by the city;
said resulting funds will be used for acquisition of new lands for parks and
PLANNING COMMISSION
PAGE TWO
for improvements for new park lands and said funds shall be set aside
and used solely for aforementioned purposes only, and shall be so stip-
ulated in ordinance. A "new park" was defined by commission as a park
that is acquired after passage of ordinance charge said fees.
General consensus was reached in that fees should be charged for ALL
building permits issued, which encompasses residential, commercial and
industrial buildings, excluding no construction.
Proposed ordinance also is to have included a set minimum charge, in
that no one shall be. charged fee if permit requested is under $5,000
assessed valuation of construction (living quarters only) .
Comm. Lock moved that there be a maximum of $100,00 included in fee structure.
Motion died for lack of second. MOTION FAILED. General consensus was
that no upper limit should be included.
A deletion of part of Section D of said sample ordinance that refers to
leaving selection of sites and all other details to sole discretion of
Parks Commission was agreed upon, and this was struck from draft ordinance.
It was agreed to leave present ordinance as it stands now as it pertains
to when a developer submits a plat and if it is in compliance with park
plan drawn up, that city should have option to purchase and acquire stip-
ulated area in development for park region within a 90 day period.
See Exhibit B for proposed/revised ordinance, as it would pertain to city
of Jacksonville with the above referenced changes and deletions.
ZERO LOTLINES
Commissioners Stender and Betts did not have proposal to submit at this
time. It was decided that Bill Owens, Commissioners Betts and Stender
would meet the week of July 25, 1977 and prepare a written proposal to submit to
full board when regular meeting convenes on August 2, 1977. This action would
facilitate Mr. Peacock's subdivision, Briarfield, Phase III, that is pending
approval by commission at this time.
SMALL SUBDIVISIONS
Comm. Lock presented a written proposal concerning the above. See Exhibit C
(2 pages) for complete, revised proposal as agreed upon by commissioners.
It was final consensus of those present that the ?lanning Commission Secretary
and City Engineer Owens work up a final written draft of all proposals sub-
mitted thus far pertaining to subdivision regulation changes. This draft
would be acted upon at a date decided upon at a special meeting by full
membership at their next meeting scheduled for August 2, 1977.
Meeting adjourned with no formal motion forthcoming.
Respectfully submitted,

Letter of submission from E. L. Misak, DVM, was read into record
by Chairman White which stated in part: "These lots will be used for
apartment dwellings. AP&L has agreed to relinquish this utility ease-
ment." Mr. Owens brought out that area is zoned for apartments and as
far as the Water and Sewer Depts. are concerned they would not have any
objections to said abandonment. In discussion, Mr. Owens announced
that AP&L is planning to change out of subject area and power will be
supplied to these lots through another route, thereby relinquishing
easement requirements bo the property owner would be no problem.

b. Chairman White recognized citizens in attendance and requested
interested parties to address commission if so desired. Mrs. Emma
Knight presented a handwritten petition signed by 73 home owners and
9 renters at this time. Said petition objected to development of
Sawmill Subdivision, adjacent to Laurel and Cherry Street area. Mrs.
Knight then outlined the two main reasons for area r~sidents being
present at meeting to protest development of said subdivision.
Number (1) Drainage solution is needed for Laurel, Cherry & N.
Oak St. area and
Number (2) Request holding up of action on Sawmill Subdivision con-
struction until Corps of Engineers had finished study of their drainage
area.
c. After discussion concerning study itself, City Engineer OWens dis-
played slides depicting flood area with pictures of Laurel and Cherry
Street main ditch and computed run-off figure amounting to a total
of less than 1% extra water going through said area that would be in-
volved with construction of Sawmill Subdivision. Mr. Owens stated that
with development being built drainage problems will not increase to
an appreciable amount. He also stated that his figures showed that
1/8 of an inch for a 4' flow of run-off water would be only increase
involved with addition of said subdivision being developed. This con-
ception was illustrated in slide presentation itself.
d. Charles Burkett and Mrs. Brown voiced disapproval of development,
e.
along with Comm. Lock. Mr. OWens countered with his position above
stated along with the fact that homes built in proposed subdivision
would be built up higher than Laurel and Cherry Street homes.
After much discussion, Chairman White requested roll call vote on
the following motion: Comm. Wooley moved, seconded by Comm. Cavender
that aforementioned subdivision be approved as presented. Commissioners
WB~te, Ca~ender,~Wamp~er, Sidwell, Wooley ~Moilanan, and Betts voted
aye, Comm. Lock voted nay. Motion received 7 affirmative-votes-and 1 --
negative vote. (Comm. Stender's proxy vote is to be counted as aye.)
Final vote: 8 ayes, 1 nay. MOTION CARRIED. (NOTE:) Mayor Reid was
addressed by Commission as to providing water and sewer to said sub-
division. Mayor Reid stated that sewer plant on east side will be
able to handle increased flow by the time development is constructed. And
with pumps being installed and new hydrovac system being implemented,
the subdivision could be taken care of. Also, he announced that water
supply was asked to be conserved this summer because of inadequate rain-
fall, but the servicing of proposed subdivision would pose no problem
in forseeable future. Mayor Reid and Chairman White stated that when
study is completed by Corps of Engineers, it would be presented and
hopefully implemented by the city if cost is not prohibitive.
NOTE: Comm. Sidwell left meeting at this time.
THE JACKSONVILLE COMMERCIAL SUBDIVISION, OLD HIGHWAY 161/FINAL PLAT
CHANGED TO SKETCH
a. Chairman White read letter submitted by Bond Engineers and acknowledged
receipt of $10.00 for final plat fee. He stated that according to said
letter water and sanitary sewer services to lots in above referenced sub-
division have been completed and Highway 161 serves as access to all lots.

Chairman White stated that as far as he knew there had been
no submission to commission of the sketbh or preliminary plat of
said subdivision. Mr. Owens, City Eng., substantiated this to
the membership. Chairman White requested record to state that
submission of a final plat was out of order because of aforementioned
reason.
c. Bill Owens presented final plat along with Jerrel Fielder of
Bond Engineering firm. Mr. Owens recommended that water and sewer
connections to said lots should be the responsibility of the prop-
erty owners, and no connections will be set for said area by the
city. Mr. Fielder brought out that the original intent of the
property being considered was to be sold by metes and bounds. but
developer decided to subdivide instead, at this time because some
of the lots are fixed with construction already placed.
d. Comm. Betts moved, seconded by Comm. Lock that aforementioned
subdivision be approved as a SKETCH PLAT only. Motion approved by
voice vote. MOTION CARRIED. (Note! Chairman White instructed
Mr. Fielder to work with Mr. Owens with submission of preliminary
and final plats because commission would like to see "As Built Plans"
and/or a letter with said submission. He stated preliminary and final
plats could be submitted at the same time.
Chairman White and commission members requested secretary to compile
all information that has been approved thus far by commission concern-
ing revamping of subdivision rules and regulations and have this in
packet form in time for special meeting set up for the 16th of August.

The Jacksonville Planning Commission held a special meeting on
Tuesday, August 16, 1977, 7:30p.m., City Hall, Jacksonville, Ark.
with the following in attendance:
Vice Chairman Cavender; Dr. Albert Sidwell; Hugene Wooley; Bob
Stender; Dennis Lock; Wallace Wampler; Frank Betts; Bill Owens,
Engineer;.John New, City Code Enforcement Director; Tommy Bond, Bond
Consulting Engineers; Charles Randel, Metroplan representative and
Nancy Gerren, Secretary. (Commissioners White and Moilanen absent)
Vice Chairman Cavender called meeting to order and declared quorum
present.
ZERO LOTLINE FINAL RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL; NEW CLASSIFICATION PRO-
POSED: R-5, Single Family.
At request of commissioners, City Engineer Owens displayed slides of
zero lotline construction located in North Little Rock, Ark. Also,
slides were shown depicting housing Mr. Jim Peacock is planning to con-
struct in Jacksonville incorporating zero lotline concept.
In order for loans and fire insurance coverage to be available, the
topic of fire walls was discussed and the need for regulations govern-.
ing same in zero lotline construction. The Southern Building Code out-
lines very complex guidelines to be followed in this regard, and city
officials present reported they had not had time to adequately study
said procedures. Discussion followed concerning construction of zero
lotline housing and that developers will have to build separate water
and sewer service lines to accomodate each housing unit versus apart-
ment-type utility service.
General consensus was to recommend to city council a new R-5 class-
ification-----;-overing zero lotline, singre =nun:il.y-cunstruction -.-Class ~
ification requirements were discussed and adopted by commission. Comm.
Lock moved, seconded by Comm. Stender to recommend new R-5 Zero Lotline,
Single-family classification to city council in ordinance form. Approved
by voice vote. MOTION CARRIED.
PARKS-RESERVATION OF LANDS-PROPOSED FEE TO BE ASSESSED
After considering and adopting changes to draft ordinance, Comm.
Wampler moved, seconded by Comm. Stender to recommend approved draft
ordinance to be presented to city council covering reservation of lands
for new parks including an assessment/fee added to building permit fee
presently being collected by city to cover monies required for new
park lands. Approved by voice vote. MOTION CARRIED.

recommendations on above referenced changes to subdivision rules
and regulations and present same to city council in ordinance form.
Approved by voice vote. MOTION CARRIED.
STREETS/SPECIFICATIONS
After discussion covering street construction changes, Comm.
Wampler moved, seconded by Comm. Stender that an amendment to the
subdivision regulations be approved allowing city engineer to de-
termine acceptable depth of street base required by city, and
said recommendation to be presented to council in ordinance form.
Approved by voice vote. MOTION CARRIED.
DRAINAGE/RESIDENTIAL-NEW REQUIREMENTS ON CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDINGS
Comm. Wooley moved, seconded by Comm. Wampler to approve Mr.
Owens' recommendations on proposed amendment to present ordinance
covering regulations on construction of housing and forward said
recommendations to city council in ordinance form. Approved by
voice vote. MOTION CARRIED.
MISCELLANEOUS ACTION TAKEN
a. City Engineer Owens brought up subject of gas pumps being in-
stalled in recently approved car wash located in West Jacksonville
Subdivision. The Planning Commission and city council recently
approved conditional use in a C-2 zone for car wash business.
Final consensus of opinion was to allow gas pumps to be installed
at said location in conjunction with car wash establishment.
b. City Engineer Owens reported on matter of business concerning re-
a.
quest of new business establishment to be located at 200 South First
Street. Said request concerned fact that former business located
at said location had moved out; this former business had been operating
under conditional use permit in C-2 zone. The city code states once
a business ceases to operate that zoning reverts back to original
classification. In this case, the new business wanting to move in,
which is a garage repair shop, does not conform to C-2 zoning reg-
ulations. After discussion, Comm. Wampler moved, seconded by Comm.
Cavender to request new tenant to bring plans to next Planning Commission
meeting for review in order to obtain legal ruling so business can
legally become operational. Approved by voice vote. MOTION CARRIED.

200 SOUTH FIRST STREET (CORNER OF MULBERRY & HIGHWAY 161)
Petitioner, Mr. Bill Adams, presented a short, oral report as requested
by commission membership at meeting held on August 16, 1977. He stated, in
part, there was a definite need for a Volkswagen repair shop in the Jackson-
ville area, and if he was granted a conditional use permit and a privilege
license, he would not allow any junk parts or junk cars to be situated on
the property as was the case in the past with former proprietors. Also,
there would be no cars encroaching on street right-of-ways as in the past,
there would be broken glass replaced and finished painting inside and
outside of building, installing of necessary equipment in shop to operate
said business efficiently, which would include a hoist and compressor and
the finishing of culvert in front of building would be accomplished. He
did not plan to construct any additions to building itself. It was brought
out ~Aat Mr. Johnny James_is owne~of said property.
Comm. Wampler moved, seconded by Comm. Sidwell to grant petitioner's
request for a conditional use permit in a C-2 zone, with the stipulation

to code. Approved by voice vote. MOTION CARRIED.

WALKER.
a. Chairman White, with permission from commissioners, deviated from
regular agenda because published time of 8:00 p.m. had not yet arrived to
convene two public hearings scheduled at last meeting.
b. Chairman White explained to those present regulations involving fact
that building permits cannot be issued on metes and bounds descriptions.
It is petitioner's intention to retain the acreage in its entirety, he
further reported, as he had investigated request prior to meeting. Dis-
cussion followed among membership concerning possibility that someone
might come back at a future date and build a home next to the proposed
dwelling asking for building permit, thus developing parcel in a haphazardous

manner. Mr. Owens said property recently was annexed into the city and
the water situation was bad in that there is an existing 2" water line that
runs 1/4 of a mile that serves 15 houses and part of a trailer park. He
recommended no one else tie on to this line because of no fire protection
being provided and there was a definite lack of pressure. Mr. Owens further
reported if the State Health Dept. went along with hooking on to this 2"
line he would recommend building permit be issued. In an alternate suggested,
Mr. Owens mentioned there is an existing 6" line which deadends at a school.
Aforementioned route, he stated, is 50% longer. The Health Dept. has approved
septic tank for said property, according to engineer.
c. Comm. Sidwell moved, seconded by Comm. Wampler to recommend issuance of
a building permit for the Walker residence located on Cloverdale Road, sub-
ject to the fact that if the plat of ground (10 acres) on which home is
built is further developed at a later date, said property must meet all of
the current rules and regulations and also that property owner will work
with city engineer to provide and serve home with water through a 6" water
line. Approved by voice vote. MOTION CARRIED.

involved in proposed rezoning was displayed for comparison zoning. Mr.
Walker was present and stated he was planning to construct a colonial-type
building and landscape the surrounding grounds to resemble the homes in
general area. In a plan he displayed of proposed structure, it was brought
out that 20 cars would be able to park on site. Residents of 108 Braden and
104 Braden St. objected to rezoning because it would detract from residential
identity now established. Comm. Betts researched Comprehensive Development
Plan recently adopted by the city which stated in part that areas should be
maintained that are compatible to existing surroundings; thus, he considered
this spot-zoning in a sense.
b. Comm. Betts moved to deny rezoning petition submitted by Mr. Walker. Motion
seconded by Comm. Cavender. Motion received 8 affirmative votes and 1 negative
vote. Comm. Stender voted nay. MOTION CARRIED.

being seen by the public as they are not being first nailed to a firm
backing and they tend to curl up, thus being unnoticeable. City Engineer
Owens stated he would require said signs in the future to be installed

10.
a. Chairman White read submission letter from Bond Engineers representing
developer, Mr. B, J. Boroughs and acknowledged receipt of $13.50, final plat
fee. Aforementioned letter requested that sidewalk requirements be waived
because several subdivisions have been submitted with less stringent re-
quirements and these have been approved. The approvals came after the
city council acted on a preliminary plat submission and required sidewalks
on both sides of the street in Dalewood Subdivision. Ther.efore, in light
of recent developments, Bond Engine ers stated they felt the ?lanning Commission
should reconsider requirements for sidewalks.
b. Further discussion ensued concerning large "parkway" provided in said de-
velopment located down the middle that in effect serves as play area and free
open space for residents. It was brought out that the city council had
approved former plat submittal with sidewalks to be provided on both sides
of the street down to the large cul-de-sac. City Engineer Owens stated that
since-the-subdivision was_unique in _ _h_is opinion with the large :_parkway"
being provided,that he would go along with the developer's request for the
sidewalks to be waived in this instance. The question arose concerning maint-
enance of open area. General consensus was this would be up to the city and/or
the residents of subdivision. No deciding final vote ... was cast in this regard.
c. Comm. Wampler moved, seconded by Comm. Wooley that Final Plat of Dalewood
a.
Subdivision be approved with sidewalks waived on both sides with recommendation
being forwarded to city council for final action. Motion received 7 affirm-
ative votes and 2 negative votes. Commissioners Moilanen and Betts voted
nay. MOTION CARRIED.

letter submitted by Bond Engineers on behalf of developer, Sam Reynolds.
Bond Engineering firm stated in letter that the owner will install water
service lines and wyes for each lot in the existing sanitary sewer and
water line system. City Engineer Owens stated no meters have been in-
stalled because the development is for commercial use; the sewer is there
for tapping, therefore,there should be no problems for water and sewer
services to be hooked on to. He also stated the developer will have to meet
state highway department street regulations.
b. Jerrel Fielder, Bond representative, outlined to commission membership
why the Preliminary and Final Plats are one in the same. He stated the
utilities are built and installed and some property owners are already
doing commercial business in the . subdivision. Originally~. lots could have
been sold off by metes and bounds but the developer decided to have
property subdivided as shown in the final plans.
c. Some commissioners expressed displeasure with design of subdivision,
with lots being too deep. After discussion on design, Comm. Stender
moved that Preliminary Plat just be approved and hold off on the Final
Plat action until commissioners had further time to study subdivision design.
Motion died for lack of second, as ruled by Chairman White.
d. After City Eng. Owens brought out that there are no minimum lot require-
ments in a C-4 zone, Comm. Wooley moved, seconded by Comm. Cavender that
the Preliminary and Final Plat of The Jacksonville Commercial Subdivision
be approved as submitted and forwarded to city council for final action.
Motion received 5 affirmative votes and 2 negatives votes with 1 abstention.
Commissioners Stender and Lock voted nay and Chairman White abstained from
voting. MOTION CARRIED.

JACKSONVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION
REGULAR MEETING
OCTOBER 4, 1977
ATTENDAN'CE & OPENING REMARKS
The Jacksonville Planning Commission held its regular scheduled
meeting on Tuesday, October 4, 1977, 7:30p.m., City Hall, Jacksonville,
Arkansas with the following persons in attendance:
Chairman White, Cleo Cavender, Hugene Wooley, Bob Stender, Dennis
Lock, Frank Betts and Paul Moilanen. (Dr. Sidwell and Wallace Wampler
were marked absent) Bill Owens, City Engineer, ~1ayor Reid, Tommy Bond,
and Mike Abdin, Alderman, plus persons interested in rezoning petitions.
APPROVAL AND/OR CORRECTION OF MINUTES
Comm. Cavender moved, seconded by Comm. Wooley to approve Minutes of
September 6, 1977 meeting as mailed. Approved by voice vote. MOTION CARRIED.
At this time, Comm. secy, Nancy Gerren, brought to membership's
attention that final and preliminary plat fees had been paid by Dick
Jones and Ben Rice. (These fees had not been paid at last meeting, but
had been received during the latter part of the month)
CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST/LOT ll, BLK 2, HARPOLE ADDN. JAMES WALKER, PET.
Chairman White updated body on results of public hearing held last
month on rezoning request of above petitioner. He read the submission
letter of Mr. Walker's requesting waiver or special permit be issued
to operate a real estate office on parcel. Mr. Walker felt that in
the near future all properties along North First Street would become
commercial in order to accomodate anticipated growth.
Chairman White read two letters he had received in his office
on 10-3-77. Said letters were from Marie H. Hackett and John Mallett
and were admitted to file for permanent records. These two property
owners stated they did not object to rezoning procedures being con-
templated by Mr. Walker. Chairman White stated he surmised these
two property owners wouldn't be against a variance since they did not
object to previous rezoning request.
Mr. Walker stated he had checked out the Bill of Assurance at the
court house recently and he discovered that B/A was filed in December
of 1953. B/A was for a 20 year covenant and after this time was up,
there would be no restriction in the use of property according to doc-
ument.
d. After further discussion, Comm. Wooley moved, seconded by Comm.
Cavender that request for conditional use and/or variance be denied-
because the entire block was presently zoned residential. Approved
by voice vote. MOTION CARRIED. (After vote was taken, Chairman
White stated he felt if the whole block was in agreement for commercial
use, then, very possibly a rezoning would be approved. Mr. Walker
thanked commission for their consideration of his requests and stated it
was not his intention to cause any dissension) (For record: It should
be noted that commission brought out, also, that under conditional uses
for R-1 classification, real estate office is not listed)

sidered for rezoning was in permanent record.

zoning and pastor of the church and deacons representing deacon body spoke
in favor of petition.
d. After discussion between church pastor, deacon body and property own-
ers adjacent in and around parcels of land, the pastor requested said
petition for rezoning to be withdrawn because it was not the church 1 s in-
tention to cause any controversy or contention. He stated church growth
was stymied at this time, and it was planned to sell the property, if
rezoned to commercial classification, for a good return--thus, allowing
church to build larger structure at another site.
e. Comm. Moilanen moved, seconded by Comm. Cavender to accept the
petitioner 1 s request to have rezoning request withdrawn. Approved by voice
vote. MOTION CARRIED.
10. CUT-OFF DATE/PLANNING COMM. BUSINESS ITEMS FOR AGENDA ( DISCUSSION )
a. Chrm. White reported that some members of the commission had expressed
the fact that agenda had not been reaching them in time due to slow mail
service in order to adequately study business up for consideration. After
discussion, it was general consensus of opinion that ordinance should not
be changed allowing for an earlier cut-off date on items to be submitted.
The majority of commissioners reported that Wednesday before the first
Tuesday of each month was sufficient time to investigate items if agenda
reached their hands by the week-end. Therefore, it was arranged and
agreed upon between commissioners and secretary that any commissioner
desiring to do so could come by city hall and pick up a copy of the agenda
plus all attachments on the Thursday before the first Tuesday of each
month. Thus, this would save approx. 2 days 1 time in receiving informa-
tion otherwise delayed by poor mail service.

REGULAR MEETING -OCTOBER 4, 1977

b. At this time, Comm. Stender brought forth an item for discussion
concerning dissension being experienced between Planning Commission
membership and City Council body. Chrm. White stated he recognized
there was some friction existing but this was nothing new as it has
occurred frequently in the past. He stated the commission should
be used as a 11 buffer 11 between the citizens and the council and all
items that are considered by commission and passed on to the council
have been well thought out with recommendations expecting to be
accepted. Also, engineering firms and city engineer 1 s expertise
is depended upon for accurateness and dependability in order for
commission to make intelligent decisions.
c. Chrm. White recognized Alderman Abdin who stated he appreciated
efforts of liaison officers to council who provided as much informa-
tion as possible from commission meetings; but, his and the council 1 S
main objections at this time concern the Planning Commission issuing
waivers on sketch and preliminary plats whereby the council does not
have any voice at this stage of development. He stated the council
feels the commission should stay with the code book and not vary on
requirements. Also, when the final stage of development is reached
and a variance has been approved at sketch or preliminary plat stage,
it is too late for the council to act when the final plat is presented.
d. Discussion ensued concerning the council having a council member present
at commission meetings and the commission having a representative pres:ent
on council night. This matter was not resolved.
11. ADDED ITEM-FINAL PLAT~ FOXWOOD, PHASE VI-C

to accept the Final Plat of Phase VI-C, Foxwood Subdivision subject to
receipt of letter of credit covering streets~ and the city accepting
the water, sewer and streets. Approved by voice vote. MOTION CARRIED .
12. DISCUSSION/DINNER WITH COUNCIL MEMBERSHIP.
a. Tommy Bond stated he thought it would be a good idea for the Planning
Commission and Council membership to get together and discuss problems
they both are experiencing. An informal dinner was discussed; therefore,

JACKSONVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION
REGULAR MEETING
NOVEMBER l, 1977
a. The Jckvl. Planning Comm. held its regular scheduled meeting on Tuesday,
Nov. l, 1977, 7:30p.m., City Hall, Jacksonville, Ark., with the following
persons in attendance:
b. Chrm. White; Cleo Cavender; Hugene Wooley; Bob Stender; Dennis Lock;
Frank Betts; Paul Moilanen and Wallace Wampler. (Dr. Sidwell was marked
absent) Bill Owens, City Engineer; Jerrel Fielder, Bond Engineering Co. and
Mike Abdin, Alderman, plus several persons interested in rezoning petitions.
(guest: Charles Randel, Metroplan rep.)
2. APPROVAL AND OR CORRECTION OF MINUTES
a. Comm. Wooley moved, seconded by Comm. Cavender to approve Minutes of Oct.
4, 1977 as published and recorded. Approved by voice vote. MOTION CARRIED.
3. GENERAL DISCUSSION -JACKSONVILLE/SHERWOOD/NORTH LITTLE ROCK PLANNING AREA
BOUNDARIES
a. Chas. Randel, Metroplan rep., was recognized by Chrm. White. Mr. Ran-
del presented two maps for study and discussion to membership as outlined
below:
FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES
b. The first map was a single-sheet, clear mylar zoning map updated to
October, 1977; this map will continue to be updated with cooperation from
engineering office in the city and Metroplan from this date forth. The
lower right-hand corner of said map will be recorded with most recent re-
zoning ordinance passed by council thereon.
FOR ACTION
c. The second map outlined Pulaski County depicting the planning boundaries
of No. Little Rock, Jacksonville and Sherwood in heavy black lines. Dotted
lines denoted Metroplan's proposal to commisson where updated boundary
lines needed to be established between the 3 aforementioned cities. Mr.
Randel stated since there have been quite a few annexations effected within
the past 5-6 years, his suggestion would be that the Planning Commissions
of the 3 cities have a meeting to determine a re-evaluation of new boundary
lines for planning and jurisdictional purposes. This could be a mutual
agreement affair between said cities as has been accomplished in the past.
He stated equal distances were used by Metroplan to compute boundary lines
as shown on map, but aforementioned mutual agreement on territories to be
reapportioned would be satisfactory. Also, Ark. State Statute 186 of 1957
permits cities jurisdiction within 5 miles of city limit borders where sub-
division regulations could be enforced.
d. Chrm. White suggested that quarter lines be established and drawn in to
more clearly define each city's boundaries on the map. With concurrence
of entire membership and following sugg e stion offered by Mr. Randel, Chrm.
White requested Mr. Randel to set up some tentative meeting dates with
Sherwood and No. Little Rock Planning Commissions and work with Jackson-
ville's city engineer and P. C. Secy. to find acceptable dates and times
to meet for all concerned. Mr. Randel agreed to do this.
4. GENERAL DISCUSSION -NEXT MEETING DATE (CONFLICT WITH CHAMBER EVENT)
a. It was brought to Chrm. White's attention that the Jacksonville Chamber
JACKSONVILLE PLANNING COMMISSION
REGULAR MEETING-NOVEMBER l, 1977
PAGE TWO
of Commerce was having its Annual Chamber Banquet on Dec. 6, 1977.
Since this conflicts with regular meeting date and time, the membership lr--
discussed the possibility of rescheduling Planning Comm. regular meeting.
After discussion, Chrm. White ruled there would be enough members present
to conduct business; therefore, meeting will be held on regular day and time.
5. DEVIATION IN AGENDA-REZONING REQUEST: NORTHLAKE SUBDIVISION/400-FT.
OF RIGHT-OF-WAY; 2.04 ACRES/FROM R-0 TO C-2. (See Exhibit A for legal)

above referenced parcel of property; he read submission letter from Bond Eng.

rezoning request up for public hearing, 8:00p.m., December 6, 1977.

CARRIED.
7. DEVIATION IN AGENDA-BUILDING PERMIT REQUEST/UNPLATTED PROPERTY; 6514
WEST MAIN STREET; PROPOSED SINGLE-FAMILY DWELLING. (ADDED ITEM)
a. Bill Owens, City Eng., requested commissioners to review request out-
lined above. Mr. Owens stated he informed contractor and owner of un-
platted property that since dwelling is to be located quite a distance
away from water and sewer services, it would be expensive to provide
said utilities to home. The owner agreed that he was willing to pay
extra costs involved if he could be issued building permit. (Elevation
is above 252.0)
b. After discussion concerning fact that property meets all other city
standards required on lots, Comm. Cavender moved, seconded by Comm. Wampler
to grant request for issuance of a building permit . Approved by voice
vote. MOTION CARRIED.
8. DEVIATION IN AGENDA -REQUEST TO CONSTRUCT AN AWNING WITH METAL SUPPORTS;
1000 SOUTHEASTERN STREET (LOT #5, BLOCK 3, REPLAT-BRIARFIELD SUB.) ADDED ITEM.
a. Mr. Owens stated above item was in actuality an open carport to be
constructed within three feet of property line and he saw no objection
to said construction, if neighbors didn 1 t object.
b. After discussion covering Bill of Assurance coverage and petition,
Comm. Wampler moved, seconded by Comm. Wooley that a waiver be allowed
to build open carport within three feet of property line, SUBJECT to
approval of neighbors with signed petition being brought in by home-
owner to city hall and with Bill of Assurance clearance. Motion re-
ceived 5 affirmative votes and 3 abstensions. Those abstaining: Comms.

notice from local publisher covering above property up for rezoning. Mr.
Carder was present and explained his reasons for rezoning proposal. He
presented two plats depicting area before John Harden Drive was altered
by roadway and afterwards as it looks today with road off of freeway
splitting land. With a 100-ft. AP&L easement going through property,
it was suggested there might be a possibility of a waiver being issued
on set-back requirements, allowing for development, instead of a re-
zoning. Bill Owens, City Eng., recommended said waiver because of geometry
of property.

fore, with concurrence of commissioners, Chrm. White ruled this item of
business be held in abeyance until Dec. 6 regular meeting allowing

waiver being issued on set-backs. Petitioner concurred and stated he
did not know about signs having to be posted and this would be done.
c. Secy. was instructed to p]ace this item back on the agenda for Dec.
6 and publish once again the notice in local paper that property is
up for rezoning.

12. REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF SIDEWALKS: INTERIOR STREETS AND ON ONE SIDE OF
TWO COLLECTOR STREETS -NORTHLAKE SUBDIVISION, PH I.
a. Chrm. White read submission letter from Dupree Company addressed:to
Mayor James Reid. Said request involved a waiver of sidewalks on all
interior streets and on one side of the two collector streets, North-
lake Drive and Oneida St. This would bring Phase I into conformity
with proposed amended subdivision regulations pertaining to side-
walk construction to be voted on soon by council. Bill Owens brought
out that Phase I has been approved by council and he was holding up
construction until this request could be either granted or denied.
b. Discussion ensued with final consensus of what determines main
arterial roadways from collector streets; it was brought out that code
says it is required that 80-ft. right-of-way be allowed for a main
arterial street and 60-ft. be allowed for collector street right-of-
ways. Therefore, Oneida Street would be determined a collector street
along with Northlake Drive. Turkey Trot Lane and Ricky Racoon Blvd,etc.
were determined to be defined as local or interior streets.
c. After discussion concerning the fact that none of said streets are
included on Master Street Plan, Comm . Wooley moved, seconded by Comm.
Wampler that request be approved for waiver of sidewalks on all interior
streets and on one side of two collector streets, Northlake Dr. and
Oneida St. IN LINE with the new proposed ordinance . to be acted upon by
city council. Approved by voice vote. MOTION CARRIED.

BLOCK 5. (EASTERLY LOTS ON GRAZING LANE)
a. Chrm. White read submission letter under letterhead of Bond Eng. Re-
ceipt of $10 fee was acknowledged as being received by the city.
b. Bill Owens reported water and sewer has been accepted; streets that
are built, with exception of one which has bond placed with city, has
been accepted.
c. Comm. Wampler moved, seconded by Comm. Moilanen that Final Plat, as
outlined above, be approved and forwarded to city council for final
action. Approved by voice vote. MOTION CARRIED.
14. ANNOUNCEMENT -SECY.
a. Comm. Secy. Gerren reported the eight ordinances proposing to re-
vamp subdivision rules and regulations are on agenda for city council
action, November 3, 1977 .

streets have not been accepte~ so a bond has been posted i~ the amount of
$3,500 to cover same. The water and sewer systems have been inspected and
are acceptable to their respective depts. No sidewalks will be provided,
as per agreement in preliminary plat stage. The only difference between
preliminary plat and final submission was reported to be water and sewer
lines being relocated. Final plot plan was reviewed and discussed .
c. Comm. Wooley moved, seconded by Comm. Stender that Final Plat of
Briarfield Sub., Sec. 3, Phase I, be approved and forwarded to city council.
Approved by voice vote. MOTION CARRIED. (See Item #6 in minutes for discussion)

a. The vicinity map, receipt of $50 for rezoning fee and legal
description was acknowledged as being received and recorded in file by
Chrm. White for aforementioned property. Dr. Singleton was present
and assured membership hospital would be constructed, if property was
approved for rezoning, without outside runs as per ordinance requirements.
b. Comm. Stender moved, seconded by Comm. Sidwell to set afore-
mentioned item of business up for a public hearing to be conducted on
January 3, 1978, 8:00 p.m ., and advertised according to regulations.
AP.proved by voice vote. MOTION CARRIED. (Chrm . White reminded Dr.
Singleton to post rezoning signs on property)
6. DEVIATION IN AGENDA -BRIARFIELD SUBDIVISION DISCUSSION
a. At this time, discussion followed for the record concerning zero
lotline concept being allowed by Planning Commission and City Council
membership. Mr. Owens wanted record to show that only Section 3,
Phase I of Briarfield Subdivision had been approved for rezoning
previously on an experimental-type basis, from R-0 to R-1. The P.
C. had recommended to the council that area be rezoned from R-0 to
R-3, but the council did not agree and did rezone the property from
R-0 to R-1 so as not to allow any other type of multi-family dwellings
to be placed on property in case the zero lotline concept failed to
materialize for any reason. Also, waivers were granted in this Phase
I of Briarfield, as the record points out, in order to allow zero lot-
line subdivision to go through, along with the rezoning process.
d. Mr. Owens brought to membership•s attention that Peacock Realty
Co. will have to have remaining two phases of Briarfield Subdivision re-
zoned to new R-5 classification to comply with said regulations contained
therein, if zero lotline concept is to be continued. Commission member-
ship concurred with Mr. Owens• view of the situation.
e. Secy. Gerren stated Peacock Realty Co. rep. had been provided with
a copy of new R-5 ordinance along with minutes of meetings conducted by
both aforementioned bodies within city government concerning Briarfield Sub.
7. DEVIATION IN AGENDA-UPDATE ON REVAMPING OF SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS/SIDEWALKS
a. Mr. Owens proceeded at this time to update membership on previous
action taken by city council on their recommendations concerning the above.
He stated the only ordinance not receiving action was the one concerning
sidewalks for subdivisions within the city. The city attorney and the city
engineer•s offices, he reported, have revamped wording of previous ordinance
submitted to city council at their request. The new ordinance would in
essence be as follows: Arterial, main thoroughfares, 300 or above lots, SIDE -
WALKS ON BOTH SIDES; Collector defined streets, 30-300 lots, SIDEWALKS ON
ONE SIDE ONLY; Local-Service defined streets, 0-30 lots, NO SIDEWALKS REQUIRED.
The city attorney•s office will possibly legally redefine numbering on the
lots. The ordinance will be presented to the city council for action on
December 15, 1977. (See Item #8 in Minutes for official motion)
b. Secy. Gerren reported the P. C. membership would be sent through the
mails a completed, finalized version of all the ordinances acted upon by
the council as soon as aforementioned sidewalk situation is passed and
approved by said body. Siad packet will contain the published versions.

REGULAR MEETING -DECEMBER 6, 1977

8. DEVIATION IN AGENDA -DISCUSSION/CRACKED AND DAMAGED SIDEWALKS
a. Discussion ensued concerning the fact that many sidewalks are
being damaged throughout the city 1 s subdivisions due to heavy duty
equipment being allowed to pass over them. Also, it was brought
out the fact that the gas company, both locally and metropolitan
based, do a considerable amount of damage when repairing and install-
ing gas utility services. Mr. Owens stated the city has a standing
policy being adhered to at this time with the gas company. When the
aforementioned utility cre~tJs incur damages to city streets they
are automatically billed for said damages. No official action was forthcoming
concerning damaged sidewalks.
b. After discussion, Comm. Wooley moved, seconded by Comm. Sidwell
that substituted formula discussed earlier on sidewalk ordinance re-
vamping be approved as outlined and re-submitted to city council for
final adoption. Approved by voice vote. MOTION CARRIED.
9. PUBLIC HEARING: 7.6 ACRES, MORE OR LESS; FRANK CARDER PROPERTY/MARSHALL
RD. & MAIN ST. APPROX. VICINITY: REZONING FROM C-3 TO C-4 REQUESTED.
a. Public Hearing convened at 8:02p.m., and said hearing brought to
order by Chairman White. Chrm. White recognized proof of publication
in official file. Mr. Carder, owner of said property, was present and he
stated the rezoning signs had been posted on affected property.
b. No one voiced an objection to rezoning request as above outlined, with
the exception of Comm. Wooley, who was opposed to the fact that perhaps
at some later date property might be utilized for heavy industry. It
was Comm. Wooley 1 s contention that it would possibly be wiser to have
a waiver approved for the set-backs rather than having parcel rezoned.
Thus, this would restrict the developer of the property and the owner
w9uld have to come back if property was to be used for other purposes.
c. Mr. Carder spoke in favor of the rezoning, versus a waiver being
possibly brought forward on the set-back requirements. He stated he had
no definite plans for the property at this time. The commissioners
stated the AP&L utility easement running through property curtailed
use somewhat and that parking requirements would have to be met when
building permit was applied for.
d. After no one else spoke either for or against the rezoning request,
Comm. Stender moved, seconded by Comm. Sidwell that request for said
property to be rezoned from C-3 to C-4 be approved, an ordinance be drawn
up reclassifying the parcel, and passed to city council for final approval.
Motion received 5 affirmative votes and 1 negative vote. Commissioners:
White, Stender, Betts, Sidwell and Cavender voted aye. Commissioner Wooley
voted nay. MOTION CARRIED.
10. NORTHLAKE SUBDIVISION/REZONING REQUEST: PUBLIC HEARING: REZONE FROM R-0
TO C-2/ 2.04 ACRES, MORE OR LESS, TOMMY DUPREE, PET. (legal des. see Minutes
of November 1, 1977, Exhibit A.)
a. Mr. Owens stated signs had not been posted on above referenced property.
Therefore, Comm. Wooley moved, seconded by Comm. Stender that parcel be
set up for the second time, public hearing announcement to be published
in local newspaper; hearing to be conducted 8:00 p.m., January 3, 1978.
Approved by voice vote. MOTION CARRIED.

11. DEVIATION IN AGENDA-DISCUSSION/REZONING FEE; UTILIZATION OF SAME.
a. After discussion, Chairman White instructed the Secretary of
the Planning Commission, with concurrence of the membership, to
work with the city clerk's office and make sure the city is not
losing any money on advertising of public hearings on property up
for rezoning. If a parcel of property has a long legal description
and costs in excess of $50 for publication to be effected, then the
secretary is to have the city clerk's office invoice petitioner ask-
ing for rezoning for the difference. In order to effectively do
this, each parcel would have to be advertised separately. This
to become effective immediately.
12. PUBLIC HEARING/REZONING/FRm~ R-4 TO C-2/LOTS 7 AND 8, BLOCK 7,
WEST JACKSONVILLE SUBDIVISION, CORNER OF BAILEY & MULBERRY STS. Dennis
Lock, Bart Gray Realty Co. PETITIONER. (712 ADAMS ST. HOME.)
a. Public hearing was officially declared in session by Chrm. White.
After no one voiced an opinion, pro or con, on above referenced rezoning
request, Chrm. White entertained a motion. Whereupon, Comm. Stender
moved, seconded by Comm. Sidwell that request for rezoning said property
from R-4 to C-2 be approved and forwarded to city council for final
action. Approved by voice vote. MOTION CARRIED.
13. DEVIATION IN AGENDA -PLOT PLAN/CARVER LANE PROPOSED BUILDING/RED
WALKER, OWNER.
a. City Eng. Owens stated it was not the city's policy to issue
a building permit on ·any property that had a metes and bounds descrip-
tion unless approval first came from the Planning Commission. He
then presented a plot plan of a proposed building to be constructed
on Carver Lane, which he stated was an undedicated street within the
city limits. Mr. Owens brought out the property in question had in-
sufficient room for adequate parking to accomodate the proposed size
of structure as plotted on plan.
b. After discussion, it was unanimous consensus of membership that
the city engineer return plan to owner of property and have it redrawn
to meet city regulations, and if a building permit was to be forthcoming,
that plan come back at next meeting in January to be approved by member-
ship.
14. ADJOURNMENT
a. Meeting was adjourned with no formal motion forthcoming.
