the premises and that although the situation was not a desirable one
that construction had begun at the same location as previously built but

permit. The Mayor stated that there would be three complete firewalls in
the new building and he hoped that all builders would use fireproof
shingles in such construction in the future.
Doug Wilkinson reported that the Wayne Stroud property in question
is zoned R-1. It was therefore determined that the Secretary write
him a letter stating that the property in question is on the
residential side of the zoning line and he will have to ask for
rezoning if he wants C-2 use and that she should outline proper
procedure for doing this; and further that he should research his
Bill of Assurance to determine whether or not it would be a conflict
in such desired use.

complex north of the presently situated Markwood Manor Apartments.

determine whether or not rezoning would be required for this use.

Brown Streets should be open for public use and that neither should

required on the other longer streets in the subdivision and that
none :should be required on this short cul de sac. Mr. Bond stated
that there were no immediate plans in said subdivision for residential

Th e special committee composed of Jim Pace, Richard Ada i r , Da isy
Olson, Tommy Bond and George Hes·t, met at Pacett i's Restaurant at
ll:30fu~ on Tuesday, August 15, 1972.
It was the purpose of the comm ittee to study and make recommendations
relative to the placement of McD onald's on Ma in Street in the Jackson-
vi lle Shopping Center.
The committee made the follovling findings:
1. That the sign proposed exceeds height and area limitations
under the zoning code; that a maximum of 75 sq. ft. is allowable under
the code; the proposed sign covers 400 sq. ft.
2. That the radius curbs in the accesses proposed will not allow
turning in one lan e but would re q uire t wo lanes to turn in either
dire ction.
3. That adequate parking spac es have been provided in the
propo sed p lans.
4. That the 25% dens ity limitation in the Jacksonville Shopp ing
Center will not be exceeded by the proposed plan of McDonald's; but
that very little, if any, additional devel opment can be allowed with in
the Shopping Center after final construction of t l c Donal d 's and Pulaski
Federal.
5. The corruni ttee noted t hat they have five a cc esses on Hain
Street and one on e ither end of the Shopping Center; and that a
max i mum of four access routes have been allowed in all the other
shopping centers w,i thin P ulaski County.
The cornmi·ttee there fore, concludes t ha t it 's recommenda tions to
the Coun cil be as follows:
"That if Mc Donald's is g ranted a buildin g permit to locate in the
Jacksonville Shopping Cente r, t hat it have no additional exi ts or
entrances to Main Stree t ; that all of it's access be through t he
Shopping Center, either from the access irrunediately adjacent on ;'<lain
Streeter from the pr ivate d rive running through tlle Shopp in g Center
off James Street; and that a thorough study by t he Counc il be made
in determin in g whether or not a waiver should be granted relative
to p lacement of the proposed sign. That following t h is recommendation
may necessitate turning the buildin to f a ce First Jacksonville Bank,
rather than facin g Main Street."

had requested the closing of Lisa Lane and made this recommendation to
the City Council.
Preliminary plat of East Hickman-McConnell Sub-Division was presented.
A review of the Commission's previous findings was read from the April
minutes and there seemed to be a lack of compliance with the Commission's
previous recommendations. Mr. White thereupon appointed the following
persons as a special committee to study the entire matter and make a
report at the next regular meeting; the committee consisting of Daisy
Olson, Chairman, Doug Wilkinson, Jim Peacock and Tommy Bond, Advisor.
Public hearing on the rezoning of Lakeshore Sub-Division from R-0
to R-4 was convened. The secretary presented the notice and original
request. Peggie Jones appeared in behalf of the petition and stated
that 12 1/3 acres were involved in the request and that the property
immediately across the highway had recently been zoned R-4. No persons
appeared in opposition and motion was made by Johnny Wright, with second
by Doug Wilkinson that the Commission app~ove the request. All members
voted in favor of the motion.
Public hearing on the request for rezoning of Swiss Village property
containing 18.354 acres for multi-family and 1.167 acres for commercial
was convened. Mr. Peacock stated that due to a conflict of interest,
he would not exercise his right to vote thereon. Tommy Bond stated that.
presently 3.4 acres are being used for multi-family apartment complex
which had been constructed and in use prior to the annexation of the
property to the city and that the developers had bought all of the
property prior to the annexation with the intention to use it for the
use stated in the petition of multi-family and commercial. Numerous
persons, including Geneva Evans, Carl Evens, Jessie Guthrie, John
Cobble, Bob Wooley, Ruth Gannon, Lynn McMillen, Ruth Harry, Mrs. Mayo
and Afton McMillen, all appeared in ppposition to the ·petit ion. Voiced
objections included traffic problems, hazard to children playing in the
street, denial of country living privileges, possible use to be made
of commercial zoning, depreciationof property values, additional noise
and additional load on presently overloaded utilities.
Jim Peacock stated that he had attempted to obtain easements for access
and exit for the property on routes other than Quince Hill Road but
had been unable to do so. It was stated by Tommy Bond that although
a 60 ft. right-of-way was planned for Quince Hill Road, only 30 ft.
has been obtained and that there is no guarantee as to when the other
30 ft. will be available. Due to the many unresolved questions, it
was moved by Richard Adair, with second by Johnny Wright, that the matter
be tabled for one month during which time the Planning Commission members
give adequate study to render a decision. The motion carried unanimously.
The request to rezone Lot 1, Block 3, Harpole Addition was submitted
to the membership by Mr . Wright. No persons appeared either for or
against the petition. It was the feeling of the members that the lot

the request be denied. The motion carried.

Minutes of the September meeting were read and approved.
T. P. White reported that Lisa Lane had been closed by City Ordinance.
Doug Wilkinson reported on the special committee meeting regarding
East Hickman-McConnell Addition, Phase II. He stated that the
Planning Commission needed to know whether or not Clyde Street had
been officially closed and that if so, upon proof thereof, the
Commission recommended approval of the plot plan with a waiver
of the 35 ft. setback line being reduced to 20 ft. on Lot 4 and
that Wright Street be left as a dead end so that it would be
developed to connect with Southeastern when the adjoinging property
is developed. Richard Adair seconded the recommendation and all
members voted in favor of the same.
Public hearing on Swiss Village property was reconvened at 8PM, with
all the same discussion as was had at the previous meeting; in
addition to which Richard Adair stated that the City should be given
additional time to solve its present problems before being confronted
with the additional traffic problems which would ensue from apartment
complexes on the total acreage involved in the petition. Jim Peacock
withdrew his request as to commercial rezoning and asked that the
entire tract be rezoned for apartment use. Johnny Wright moved that
the area presently being used for apartment houses containing 3.8
acres, more or less, be rezoned from R-0 to R-3 as requested and ~hat
the petition be denied as to the rest of the request. Oscar Blucker
and Doug Wilkinson both seemed to indicate that the property should
be rezoned now so that the City could begin making plans to develop

Appearing in behalf of the request were Bill Hastings and Staunton Brown
of Rector Phillips Morse, Dick Giddings and Dan Wingard of Pulaski
Federal and James Hatcher, architect. No persons appeared in objection
to the request. Mr. White stated that even though a plot plan had been
filed for the rezoning layout that a regular plot plan would have to be
f i led when the plans were filed as to development. It was suggested
by the members that in the final p l ot plan a street out of the development
should connect with Loop road and that open space for a park should be
shown. Dick Giddings that it was Pulaski Federal's hope to use this
area as a model for future development in Pulaski County and it was his
hope to do everything possible to make it an asset to the community. It
was noted that the zero lot lines as shown in the plat would require an
amendment to the City Ordinance. Mr. Harrington stated that he would
de ~iver a draft of normally used ordinances covering zerolot lines from
other cities to the City Attorney before the matter needs the Council 's
attention. Johnny Wright made the motion that the request be approved,
with second by Oscar Blucker. The mot~on carried.

of the motion.

a public hearing on rezoning Lots 80 and 8 4 of West Jacksonville Sub-
Division to C-4. It was the consensus of the members present that
C-4, Highway Commercial, as shown would not be acceptable and it was
thereupon moved by Johnny Wright, with second by JimPace that the
request be denied until such time as it could be properly explained or
changed. All members voted in favor of the motion.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned .
