M~NY~~s.o~ PLA~NI~G CQMMI~SIONL ~EB~UARY 3L 197Q The Jacksonville Planning Commission held its regular. meeting at 7:30PM in the Council Room of City Hall on February 3rd, 1970, ~..,ith the following persons in attendance: T. P. ~~ite, Chairman, Cleo Cavender, Richard Adair, Doug Wilkinson, Johnny Wright, Jim Peacock, Jim Pace, John Harrington, Dr. Lyle Hill, Bob Edwards, Carolyn Newton, Marshall Warner, John Brown, Bob Hill, Tommy Bond, Coach and Mrs. Olan Burns, J. E. Ward, Mrs. Estes, / Robert Tripp, C. H. Maulden, Daisy Olson, Secretary, and other visitors. The first item of old business ~qas the petition for re-zoning of the Keaton Shop property. Robert Tripp presented a petition containing approximately 60 signatures of residents in the general area who had all signed opposing the re-zoning. He asked this Commission to consider how this re-zoning would benefit the entire city. Doug Wilkinson introduced Dr. Lyle Hill, who is the prospective purchaser from Mrs. Keatonof the property in question. He stated that it was his intention to convert the use to a r~arehouse and that in his oDinion this would be a less repulsive use than is presently being made of the property. He further stated that he understood Sharp Street would be open to accom- modate the traffic load to the highways . Mrs. 0. R. Newton of Nina and Sharp Streets stated that as a resident she opposed Sharp Street being used as a truck route. Mr. C. H. Mauldin stated that the residential area of the sub ~·division constituted 40 acres, whereas the industrial site constituted only 4 acres, making it the ratio of one to ten in favor of the re-zoning and 10 to one against and that the Planning Commission shouhl consider this ration. Olan Burns of 901 McHenry asked what would ~eep the property after being re-zoned from being utilized as any type industry. The uses permitted under the Light Industrial Code function were read by the Chairman. Mr. J. E. Ward asked the area of the site in question. He had some doubts that it constituted 4 acres. It was explained that the property was approximately 900 ft in len~th along the railroad tracks. He further questioned the reasonable nature reducing the value of the homes in the area by re-zoning the plot in question. Coach Burns stated that he i,-Tas under the impression that the entire sub-division '\.'las residential when he bought his home there. It was explained that this land had been industrial throughout the history of Jacksonville until the change was made in the Zoning Code last summer. Dr. Hill stated that he had thought his intention of use of the property more desirable by the neighborhood than its present use, but that since the neighborhood was so strongly opposed to his idea that he would state immediately to Mrs . Keaton that he was withdrawing his offer to purchase the land in question. Miss Olson asked Mr. Wilkinson whether or not Mrs. Keaton intended to withdraw her petition if her purchaser withdrew his offer to purchase the land. Mr. ~vi lkinson stated he did not ~now. Jim Pace moved that the Planning Commission leave the situation as it has been and to reject the petition. Richard Adair seconded the motion. Four members of the Planning Commission voted in favor of the motion,· four voted against it. Mr. ~..Jhite stated that since this v.~·as a deadlock of action by the Planning Commission that the Council would have to resolve the problem and that it would be submitted to the Council at their meeting on Thursday ;night. A request from John F. Crutchfield was read by the Chairman, requesting a re-zoning from R-1 to R-3 of the following described real property: Part of the N\.Jt of the S\vt Section 29, Township 3 North, Range 10 West, in Pulaski County, Arkansas, more particularly described as follows, to-wit: Beginning at a point 258.5 feet North of the Southwest corner of the NW t S~.Jt said section 29; thence North 100 feet; thence East 150 feet; thence South 100 feet; thence West 150 feet to the point of beginning; and beginning at a point 208.5 feet North of the Southwest corner of the NWt SWt said Section 29; thence East 150 feet; thence North 50 feet; thence West 150 feet; thence South 50 feet to the point of beginning. 165 A plan of a garden type structure was submitted with the request and considered by the members present. It was moved by Richard Adair, with second by Johnny Wright that public hearing be set for March 3rd, 1970 at 7:30PM and that the Secretary publish necessary notice to comply with the requirements for public hearing. All members of the Planning Commission voted in favor of the motion . West Surveying Co. submitted a re-plat of Lots S, 6, 7 and 8, of Block 4, Galloways Addition to the City of Jacksonville, shm~ing lots to be changed from facing on Elm Street and Sunnyside Hills addition to all face Hickory Street. A check in the amount of $10.00 payable to the City Clerk was attached to the request. After study of the proposed re-plat, it was moved b Jim-Pace with second b Johnny Wright that the Planning-com- mission recommend approval of the same to the City Council. All members of the Planning Commission voted in favor of the motion. J~Tommy Bond of Bond Consulting Engineers presented Phase I of T~-Mount Sub-Division containing lots 66 and 67, and part of Tara-Mount Drive. After study of the plat, it was moved by Richard Adair, with second by Jim Pace that the Planning Commission recommend to the Council that the final plan be approved subject to the Council's receiving from the owner definite assurance that streets ~.11ould be built in accordance l,..,ith the requirements under th~ sub-division regulations, that utilities would · also be placed in the sub-division in compliance with such requirements and that the owner give complete assurance to the City Council that any future Bill of Assurance filed in this sub-division be -compatible with the Bill of Assurance on these two lots. All members of the Planning Commission voted in favor of the motion.

Mr. Warner and Mr. John Brown were present to explain any questions, answer any questions presented by members of the Planning Commission regarding such request. A location sketch of the property involved was presented by the petitioner, together with an architectural sketch of the genera 1 design of the proposed use. Mr. Brown stated that there was suff i ~' cient space available beside the building for 74 parking spaces. He went on to explain that since the Credit Union is m•med by private funds, that the desire to build on private land rather than on government land, since in the event the Base is ever closed, they could re-coup the value of their property from prospective purchasers rather than having it to at forced auction as other government assets in such situation. He stated that the building would measure approximately 70 ft. by 70 ft. or contain approximately 5,000 square feet, and be a bank type, greek design. Mr. White went on to state that although this was a business primarily serving the Base and personnel on the Base, that such a building would be an asset to Jacksonville and would be accessible to the many retired and inactive service personnel living in JacKsonville. Jim Pace requested that _any future petitions of this sort for this area be scrutinized carefully by the Planning Commission to prevent undesirable businesses at the Base gate. Upon motion by Doug Wilkinson, with second by Johnny Wright, the petition was set for public hearing at 8PM on March 3rd, 1970. All members voted in favor of the motion. The final item of business was a final plat of Phase IV, Eastview Sub- Division presented by Tommy Bond, together 1,qith a request that the area be rezoned from Class R-0 to Class R-1, In order for the plat to be approved it is necessary that the area be rezoned since it does not presently comply with the area requirements under R-0. It was moved by Cleo Cavender with second by Richard Adair that the same be set for public hearing a t 8:30PM on March 3rd, 1970. All members of the Plan- ning Commission voted in favor of the same. There being no further buesiness the meeting was adjourned.

The Secretary read the minutes pertaining to the request from the February meeting and introduced the proof of publication of the notice on the public hearing.

A plat and Bill of Assurance were submitted therewith, t o gether with a $10.00 filing fee. Members of the Commission noted that one lot, No. 7 was only 59 feet wide. It was further noted that all streets and utilities are already in. Upon motion by Jim Pace, with second by Doug Wilkinson, the Commission agreed that the owners should have the engineer re-draft his final plat in compliance with the requirements of the zoning code and final plat regulationsand that if this could be done before the next Council meeting, that the Chairman be authorized to sign the Planning Commission's approval thereon and allm-1 the builder to present his final plat to the Council for their approval. At 8:30PH the Chairman declared the nublic hearing on the re-zoning of Phase L~, East vie~ . .., Sub-Division in session. The minutes from the fo r mer meeting pertaining thereto were ready by the Secretary. Proof of publication of notice was presented by the Secretary.

The final item of business was a request from E. G. Middleton and Bill Carpenter for the Planning Commission's interpretation of whether o r not mobile ~omes permanently affixed to the soil, joined together in multiple complexes would conform to multiple fa mily residential require- ments under the zoning code and be allowed in C-2 commercial zones.

The first item of business was the public hearing on the rezoning of t he Margar et Keaton property discussed at the previous meeting and advertised in the Jacksonville News on March 9, 1970. The Secretary read the minutes pertaining to the said petition and introduced the proof of publi- &a--t-i-G:fl--f-~Q.m-the-new-.s-pap.e r -The ch a i rrna n r e qJ1 e s_t_e__d_____fhat the proof l5e c e r t i- fied by the editor. Bill Keaton was present to answer any questions submitted by any party regarding the rezoning. There were no questions and no objections. Upon motion made by Richard Adair, with second by Cleo Cavender, it was recommended unanimously by the members of the Planning Commission that the petition be recommended to the City Council for rezoning. A letter from B. J. Boroughs and Donald Gilstrap was read by the Chairman in which a request was made to split a certain lot in Henry Estates, situated in the SouthtV'est Corner of Lot 1 and mea suring approxima -tely 75 ft. by 111.5 ft. The lot split would change t hi s to two lots measuring 55.8 ft by 75 ft. It was noted by the Chairman and other members of the Planning Commission that these lots would be less in size than the mini- mum requirement of 6, 000 sq. ft. It ~.vas further noted that this would not be a major deviation from the general conditions of the existing neighborhood in Henry Estates, but probably would be an improvement. -.

Clyde Hooner appea~ed and Petitioned the Planning Commission to allmv the parking of mobile homes on Lots 81.5 and 817 Carver Lan~. It was stated by Mrs. Hooper t ha t the major had informed her at the previous Council ~ee ting that if there ~ere no objections from t h e neighborhood and she presented a p etition signed by the owners of the neighborhood to the Planning Commission and the Planning Commission made its recommend at ions favor.ably to the Cou nci 1, that the Counci 1 ~vould not object to a temporary parking of this sort. She went on further to state that the l ots were provided with all necessary utilities and t h at because of the dire need of low cost renta 1 property, that she 1>1 ould like to utilize her lots for this purpose. She stated that she had no great desire to use them only for trailers, but would like to build in the event sewer l ines could be connected with her property. There was discussion by opponents, Mr. Elli s, Ray Uhrich, Andy Nettles and Joseph McKeel of the said neighborhood, to the l ocating of any trailers on residential lots in contra di ction to t h e zoning ordinance. ''j / i f. ~ l gU Tommy Bond explained that the city had planned some years ago to lay the necessary sewer lines for the development of building in the area, but that easements had become an impossibility to obtain and that there had been no furt h er action by the City to proceed in the acquisition of the necessary easements by eminent domain . It was moved by Jim Pace, with second by Cleo Cavender that the request be denied, that trailers not be allowed in the area. All members of the Planning Commission voted in favor of the motion. The Chairman read a letter from Raymond Cox re questing permission to obtain a building permit on the rear of his lots on Green Acres Road. It was learned that the lot was approximately 4 00 ft. deep and that the --~use by both the back tenant and the front owner 'tvould be more than ample to meet any requirements of building space, and that he had no desire to sub-divide or build a road other than a private drive to the rear portion of the lot. It was the general consensus of the members of the Planning Commission that the request should be allm.o1ed. It 1vas so moved by Cleo Cavender, with second by Jim Pace and all members voted in favor o f the motion. Bob Hill presented a le tter requesting the Planning Commission to allow him to remove an old mobilehome and replace it with a newer model mobile home on his lot on Stamps Street. It was generally conceded by the members of the Planning Commission that the intent of the Planning Commission and the Council had never been to deny the upgrading of living conditions when usage was established as a trailer lot and the owner of both the old and the ne\.v ;,vas the same person. It was the intent at one time to deny the replacement of a trailer to a lot 'tvhere a different tenant had removed h is trailer, It loJas moved by Richard Ad air, 't'lith second by Jim Pace that the request be allowed . All me mb ers voted in favor of the same. It was suggested by the Secretary that the Council give some thought to clarifying their past minutes a nd the ordinance to pr ovide for similar conditions. Mr. Tommy Bond was present and requested t ha t the petition submitted in February for the approval of the p reliminary plat of Eastview Addition, Phase IV, be approved. Since the Sub-Division nm'l meets the require- ments under the zoning ordinance, it was moved by Jim Pace, with second by Jim Peacock that approval be given. The members voted unanimously in favor of the motion. The next item of business concerned the request by Tommy Bond on behalf of the Dupree Company to rezone that portion of Metropolitan Com~ercial Estates that is not presently zoned to Zone C-4. It was the intent of the Planning Commission to estab lish these as commercial lots at the time of the zoning of t h e entire city, but t he lot lines were not establish ed at t hat time. Th is reques t i s merely for the pur p ose of correcting the legal boundary lines for the zone in the area . It was _H_ ~ 1 moved by Jim Pace, with second by Richard Adai"t' that a public hearing be held by the Planning Commission on the first Tuesday night of May at 7:30PM for the purpose of determining \-lhether or not this request should be granted. The motion carried. A second item of business presented by Tommy Bond was a request for rezoning of Towering Oaks Addit:i.on (An Unrecorded Plat) from R-2 to R-4. It was remembered by the Planning Commission that at the original filing of a preliminary plat on this tract by Keith Boaz and Marshall Smith that the Planning Commission approved plans for a mobile home park in this area. It was moved by Richard Adair, with second by Jim Pace t h at __public hearing for the purpose of determining 1;-1het h er or not t!1i s requese-s-h-ou-1-d-be-g-r-ante-cf d at g-pM on t -he first -Tuesday night of May. All members vote ::-1 in favor of the motion. Charles Drummon was present at the meeting and discussed briefly the possibility of establishing zero lot lines in Jacksonville . He presented a dra\-ling shm>Jing hmq such lot lines \>Jo uld benefj_t the builder and estab l ish again reasonable lm>J cost housing for purchasers. He requested that the Planning Commission give consideration to the possibility of either amending the zoning code and the sub-division regu la tions or deviating from the ordinances for the purpose of allowing such zero lot lines if city government would be inclined to favor such building projects His primary thought in the utilization of such a later request would be in the Edgewood Sub-Division. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

The second item of business was the request for the rezoning from R-2 to R-4 of the 20 acres known as Towering Oaks Sub-Division. Richard Adair stated that he felt that the addition of 130 trailers, and t h ereby 130 families, would cause traffic problems that could not be accommodated by the streets available. He further objected to the possibility of this 1 6 :~ additional traffic on residential streets such as Jane or Pearl. Tommy Bond assured him that the only present access to the facility would be Ray Road. Jim Peacock stated that Southern Investment owns all property east of this area in question and it has tentative plans to widen Ray Road and develop a shopping center in the area. All members agreed that immediat<: low cost rentals are needed. Mr. LJhite felt that a trailer park woiuld be in accord ance with existing neighborhood.

The first item of business was the public hearing on the rezoning of that area at the corner of South Road and Pine Street. A copy of publication of notice was read by the Secretary. Tommy Bond stated that the streets shown in the plat of the proposed apartment house complex had been accepted by the City Council at its last meeting .

That a buffer zone consisting of 30 feet dedicated to the city along South Road, an additional 10 foot grass area to be retained by the sub-divider, together with an 8 foot fence. That no drinking would be allowed in the Carriage House, contrary to rumors which had been circulated. It vas requested by Dr. Bollen that the first tier of lots between South Road and Overland Trail be reserve d f o r h ou ses ra t her than trailer lots . Tommy Bond stated the fenc e would be in western rustic type, probably of cedar that you could not see through. The discussion concerning the financing by FHA met with some lack of confidence because of the previous action by FHA on lm¥ cost housing in the sub- division petition to the trailer par1<. It ~vas agreed by the m>~ners in this Country Club Addition 't'lho ~~~ere present that the type of lmAl cost housing which had been placed in the area was totally objectionable to them and that the possibility of the continuation of that type of develop- ment would be more objectionable than a completely contained trailer park. Jl 6 4 Mr. ;..]hite stated that Mr. Lowery had some right to develop his OiV'n property since it was not sub-divided. The only conformit y h e would have to comply with would be the zoning code if this plan is not approved and accepted with the change of zoning. Mr. Ben Bradley, on behalf of Mr. ' - Lowery, stated that all trailers situated within the park would be factory built trailers in new of well-maintained condition and that the m-1ner.s of the trailers ~11ould have to obtain anproval from management for locating within the nark. Mr~ Bond exnlained the full nlan of .the trai l er park, showing the recreation areas, the proposed facilities which would be available to the owners situated in the park and that the sewer and water systems planned were better than some of those planned within sub-divisions within the city . Mr. Bradley further stated that there absolutely would be no debris or trash in the area, that the grass would be cut and that no drinking tvould be allowed in the Carriage House. The further question concerning present urgent need for low cost ~h ousing facilities 1.v ere discussed. It ,.,as agreed that the tight money made it unfeasible fo r most developers at this time to build $20,000 homes. Mr. ~Jhite stated that most of the trailer parks presently situated in Jacksonville wh ich are not in trailer park zones were being phased out, \.Yh ich will increase the need for trailer parks in the area zoned and create additional need for good trailer patks within Jacks onv ille. Some of the cit~zens ·present admitted that they were unalterably opposed to trailer parks per fact. Mr . Bradley stated that underground facilities for television antenna and all other public utilities were re qu ired by FHA would be provided in the park . At the conclusion of the discussion, Mr . Bishop stated that he t h ought the pr o per ty in the immediate area would be appreciated in value rather than depreciated by the placement of the park. Hr. Charles Evans stated that he was tired of fighting mob i le home or l ow cost housing and \.Yo uld like to have the question settled enough so that he could relax and knm.v exactly what ~.ve are facing. Johnny \Trig h t made the motion that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council that the the request for rezoning be approved subject to the following items being met: That the sub-divider dedi cate by deed to t he City of J acksonville 30 feet of the presently existing South Road for the full di~tance of the plat. Furth e r that the sub-divider lace an 8 foot fence instead of t he pr o posed six foot fence all along the South Road to contain the trailer park as a separate and distinct area from t he houses in Country Club Addition, that the sub-divider at all times ~aintain fence and recreation area within the trailer nark and that he file for record the proposed layout of the trail er park. The motion was seconded by Jim Pace. Upon polling , the members of the Planning Co m- mission vited six in favor and one against the motion. Next item of business was the consideration of the approval of t he final ~ plat of Tara Moun t Sub-Div ision, Lots 5 0 through 58. Hr.

He further agreed to place in escrow the necessary funds required by the Council to guarantee the meeting of these requirements. Major Harden was present and stated that the Council had of course taken no action prior to the Planning Commission recommendation and w·ould not act until Thursday, but that he would recommend t ha t t he proposal proceed as speedily as possible.

It was moved by Cleo Cavender, with second by Richard -Adair, that the trailer be permitted and all members voted in favor of the same. Mr. Harrington stated that ~vit~ the emergence of SheYlJJood as a city in b e tween Jacksonville and North Litt l e Rock, there may be some necessary adjustment in the lines of the plann i ng area previously determined by Jacksonville and North Lit t le Rock. He asked whether or not our present plami.ing area ,..,as acceptable.

P. \Vhite, Chairman, Cleo Cavender, Richard Adai r, Doug TtJilk inson, OscarBlucker, Jim Pea c ock, John Harrington, George West, Dennis Lock, Bill Carpenter and Daisy Olson.

It was determined by the members present r.vhich had been taken by the City Council was needed by the Planning Commission. that pursuant to the action that no further or other action The first item of new business was the presentation by George West of peti tion for final approval of Lots 1 through 15, Middleton Sub- Division. Bill Carpenter was present and stated that the only reason he had requested final plat rather than prel iminary plat approval was for purposes of obtaining loands for building. It 1vas the feeling of the members present that the loans could be approved on preliminary ~I - plats; therefore, he changed his petition and asked that preliminary approval be given. Thereupon, Cleo Cavender moved, '"ith second by Richard Adair, that the request be granted. All members voted in favor of the same. Next item of business was a request from Chester Weir to locate a trailer par~ on Loop Road between Loop Road and Southeastern, south of Graham Road, approximately 350 feet. All but the west 120 feet , more or less, would be outside the city limits. From the sketch it showed that the trailer park would not conform to city regulations; in that too many trailers were planned for the area and that no parking spaces were pro- vided. It was determined by the Commission that the park, as olatted, would not be acceptable within the city limits even if the zoning were satisfactory. It was thereupon moved by Doug Wilkinson, with second by James Peacock that the city extend city services to that area outside the city limits, if and when the tota 1 plan is made satisfactory to con- form with the city requirements of a trailer park. The motion carried. Next item of business was a request from West Surveying Co. for review and approva 1 of sketch plat of North~·700d Acres , and also preliminary plat of Lot s 8 through 14, Block 5, Lots 1 through 8, Block 6, Northlvood Acres in Jacksonville. It was suggested that the name on Shenandoah be changed since it is in conflict \¥ith a street name in another sub-division, and it was further requested that the sub-divider p r epare the promised deed on the park area as plat shows and have ready to dedicate to the city by the time the sub-division is developed to that point. Thereupon, Richard Adair moved, with second by Doug Wilkinson that approval be given as requested. The motion carried. The Chariman read a letter from Thomas Engineering Company, requesting approval of a building site plan for the revised Jackson Square Shopping Center. Study was thoroughly given to the plot plan by the members and had formerly been studied by Tommy Bond. Tommy stated that in his opinion it more than met the city requirements with regard to parking, that the ac ce sses 1.vere well planned and that although the drainage would affect the surrounding lands , that the plan itself was very good. It was moved by Richard Adair, with second by Oscar Blucker that approval be given. All members voted in favor of the same. The Chairman read aletter from Tomm y Bond requesting zone change of Lots 15, 16 and 17, Block 1, Bomber Base Additi on. Upon moetion by James Peacock, with second by Richard Adair, the Planning Commission voted to hold a public hearing at 7:30PM'on August 4, 1970, to determine whether or not the above-described property should be changed from Class R-2 to Class R-3. The motion carried. The final item under discussion was the SherNood, North Little Rock and Jacksonville planning areas. Mr. Harrington presented maps ~.vh ich shmved the present Jacksonville area planning line and the requested line by Sherwood. The members present agreed unanimously that the diagonal line tra~rsing Section 13, Township 2 North, Ra nge 11 \.~Jest, be changed to -run-a-l-eng---t----fte-ne-r-~a-nd------e-a-s-t--ec€-s-a-w-s-ec---t-i--G-n-,-wh-i-Gf1-wGU-1<J-----py-t-a-n-a-Gkl-i_.._ tional half section in the Shet"'..vood planning area.

It seemed to be the consensus of opinion of the members present that there would be no difficulty in obtaining a dedication of what is already a trail being used for a drivetvay. Th e members went on to state that consideration needs to be given to the comp lete development of Northeastern from Graham Road to Madden Road. There--being no objections, after considera tion by the Planning Commission members of the p etition, it ~'las moved by Johnny T,-Jright, <Tith second by ~ Jim Pace, that the Planning Com mission "t"ecommend to the Council that the petition be granted.

(8 A letter was read by the Chairman from the Parks and Recreation Com- mission asking that the Planning Commission keep specific areas in mind for development of parks and open areas in their consideration of sub-division plats in the future. It was noted that all of these had been originally set up on the Master Park Plan and that t11henever sub- divisions wer~ considered in those particular areas or near~y areas, that consideration would certainly be given to the acquiring of open recreation areas. T. P. \fuite read a letter from Tommy Bond requesting a zoning liTaive_r as to Lot 26, Stamps Replat of Bailey Addition, Lots 35 through 43, to allm11 the location of a mobile home thereon.

P . Wh ite, Chairman, Oscar Blucker, Richard Adair, Doug Wilkinson, J i m Peacock, Cleo Cavender, John Harrington, Daisy Olson, Herbert Klepatz , Billy Rector, Butch Rector and Merrill Porter. Minutes of the August meeting were read and approved . Mr. ~Vihite reminded Mr. Har r ington of the need for an up-to-date zoning ma2. He promised to get together with Miss Olson at an early date and Jim Peacock was the only committee member present to report on the study of the request for zoning waiver in the Bailey Addition. He stated that the committee had not met but that from his personal observation he had no objection to the request being granted so far as the are a itself was concerned s ince there are mobile homes situated all along the street where the lots are located; but that he felt the same problems would be encountered as in the past in granting requests for mobile homes. It was moved by Richard Adair and seconded by Cleo Cavender that no recom- mendation be made on the request. All•''members voted in favor of the motion. The second item of old business wa s the consideration of the final plot plan on Northwood Acres Addition to the City of Jacksonville. Miss Olson s tated that she had learned since the former mee ting that the owners of Lots 8 through 15, Lot 20 in Tract A had not_signed either the pl at or bill of assurance. It was therefore recommended by the Planning Commission that either these signatures be obtained, together with that of Wendell Fuller on the plat, or that these lots in Tract A be deleted from the request. It was further noted that there is a Northwood Acres Addition recorded with the Planning Commission clerk which is within the North Little Rock planning area and that this might cause some conflict in the future if the area located in Jackson- ville remains under the same name. Doug Wilkinson said he would call this fact to the attention of the owners and that they would probably want to change the name of tnis addition. Mr. White reported that the owners of Campbell Industrial Sub-Division had requested that the new street situated therein be named Corey Drive. Doug Wilkinson moved that the name be approved, with second by Jim Peacock and all members voted in favor of the same. A building plot plan was submitted by Hope Lutheran Church for their proposed worship and educational facility at 800 Marshall Road. It was noted that the zoning classification allowed this structure and that other building requirements had been met. It was moved by Richard Adair, with second by Jim Peacock that approval be granted and that Mr. Hines be authorized to issue a building permit. All members voted in favor of the motion. Mr. Klepatz was advised to consult with Mr. Hines about the numbering of the building. Persons from Rector, Phillips, Morse, Inc., appeared requesting approval of their Cooperative Housing Development to be built on Marshall Road. Mr. Rector stated that FHA had granted immediate approval for construction of 50 units and an additional 50 units after the first are sold. Mr. Porter explained the operation of a Federal Cooperative Housing Development. Butch Rector stated that the plans had been developed in accordance with the Jacksonville zoning code and sub-division r e g~lations with regard to water, sewer, fire pro- tection, traffic, maximum square footage, open space and parking. Billy Rector went on to state that a survey had been made showing the need for 300 housing units for low income families in Jacksonville. Thereupon, it was moved by Richard Adair, with second by Doug Wilkinson that approval be given subject to deducation of the street as shown on the plat. The motion carried. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. 181 ~~YI&§_9f-I~~-lbf~§9~Ylb1§_f~b~~J~G C9t~1J§S]ON_;_9fi9~~~-§~ 1JJ9 The Jacksonville Planning Commission held its regular meeting on ~uesday, October 6, 1970 at 7:30 PM at City Hall.

That he felt the character of the district was not in any way impaired by the proposal, but rather became a type of buffer normally recommended between commercial and residential zones . Be further stated that because of the existence of Tag ~treet he did not anticipate any material change in traffic on Johnson and Dogwood Streets . The general consensus of the Planning Commission members showed the following feelings: That due to the value of the existing homes in the area, that the~:·.ll--~ should be a co·ntinuation of the present zoning of R-0 of the lot in question; that those persons living there first had a vested interest which should not be jeopardized; that although there was a need for multi-family houses and that a constant search for new areas to be utilized i n the development of apartment complexes should be made, that this particular location was not ideal. The motion was made by Ri c hard ~dair, with second by Jim Pace that the Commission recommend to the City Council that the petition filed by clr . Crutc~field be-denied. The motion carried. The s econd item of busines s was _ti:}e _,.:r~,q~est for the zoning to be changed from 2-0 to !-4 of Beechwood ~~~,r-; c::j nn.

P. White, Chairman, Cleo Cavender, Oscar Blucker, Johnny Wright, Jim Peacock, Jim Pace, Daisy Olson, Secretary, and John Harrington as repre- sentative from Metroplan. Other persons attending included Tommy Bond, Ferrell Gray, Marshall Warner, Ann Brown, Ben Rice, Robert Doyle, Lesly Mattingly, Tommy Dupree, Lonnie Reed, Billy Rector and Pat Stoltz. That portion of the former minutes pertaining to the Doyle request for rezoning was read by the Secretary. She introduced proof of publication e-f-rle-~i~e-a -n ci-p.r-e-se-nted~he-p-lo_t_o_f____the::_a_r_e_a_in q_u_e_s_t__i _OU --a-the members • It was explained that the only lots with any structure exi s ting were ll and 12 where the old Hudson house sits. Ben Rice re-stated Mr. Doyle 's plans to construct an apartment complex. He went on to state that there were duplex units across and down the street; and that the property was bound by commercial and industrial use and that it was better suited for multi-family than single-family residences. It was his belief that the proposed development would upgrade the property values in the surrounding area. Ben Rice and Robert Doyle are the owners of the lots in question. It was moved by Jim Pace, with second by Cleo Cavender that the Planning Commission recommend the rezoning as requested to the City Council. The ' motion carried. The second item of bus i n ess was a request from Shelby Capps to allow a waiver of 15 ft. side yard in the construction of his proposed f urniture outlet at 208 E. Main Street. After discussion by the members, it was moved by Jim Peacock, with second by Oscar Blucker, that the requirement of 15ft. side yard be waived and that he be allowed to build within 6 ft. _o£ __ his_p_r_Qp_e_r_ty line on the East side and that the Council waive the requirements as set forth in the sub-division regulations. The motion carried. At 8PM, the time set for the public hearing on the rezoning of Hendrix College property, the Secretary read that portion of the minutes pertaining thereto, and introduced proof of publication of notice. Upon request by the Chairman, she read a letter from W. F. Rector in which he stated that the buyer would dedicate free of charge, a right-of-way through the property in question at any reasonable point to connect Redmond Road with General Samuels Road. He went on to state in his letter that Pulaski Industrial Park would also dedicate necessary right-of-way for this proposed new road. His letter further contained information on the proposed use by Metal Stamping Corporation . The letter is filed herewith and made a part of these minutes. A discussion followed in which num e rous residents from Gregory Street and Marshall Road opposed the rezoning for the reason that they felt an industrial development would cause heavy traffic and therefore a hazard to their school children, destruction of their streets and reduction of their property values. Mr. Lesly Mattingly, a resident of the area in question, seemed to indicate that he would not oppose _ the development of industry, but ,-- felt that there should be a buffer between their quiet family residential area and such industrial development. Mr. M. D. Warner and members of the Board of Little Rock Air Force Base Federal Credit Union, which is located in the northwest corner of the property in question, all appeared and strongly opposed the rezoning petition for the reason that they felt the industrial development would diminish the value of the new Credit Union building and property and create a nuisance in the operation of their business. Both Billy ~r and Pat Stoltz were present to speak in behalf of the petition. They expressed sympathy to the residents in the area regarding the possible traffic hazard to children and offered a 300 ft. commercial buffer between Marshall Road and the industrial zone. Mr. Stoltz stated that he had been partially responsible for the building of Universal Match Company, Metal Stamping Corporation, and Conway Manufacturing Company, all situated in Conway, and extended an invi- tation to all persons present to come and view these developments to learn the type ·of manufacturing plants with which hewas associated. He further stated: "I can assure you that anything going on this property would not be that type of industry that would be offensive to anybody in the way of fumes. We hope we can come into your community and develop a park that you would be proud of and far in excess of any of those you now enjoy. We hope to make this a fine addition and not a detriment." T. P. White stated that it was obvious that both sides were concerned deeply in the matter pending and that he would recommend that a committee be formed to · arbitrate the points of difference before the next regular meeting and make its recommendations to the Planning Commission at that time. He suggested that the committee be composed of M. D. Warner, Lesly ~~ttingly, Billy Recotr, Pat Stoltz, Jim Pace, Jim Peacock, Daisy Olson, and that he, Mr. White, would ~the committee. vv'-{;L.VV After additional discussion consisting primarily of the same points made previously, it was moved by Johnny Wright, with second by Jim Pace, and unanimously approved by the Planning Commission members that the committee be formed as suggested by Mr. White. The third public hearing of the evening was the petition of Cleo Cavender for rezoning of certain property from R-1 to R-3. The 187 Secreatry read the minutes pertaining thereto and introduced proof of publication of notice. No opponents appeared on the petition and after discussion by the members, it was moved by Johnny Wright, with second by Jim Pace, that it be recommended to the Council that approval be given. The motion carried. A preliminary plat of Southern Acres Sub-Division was presented by Tommy Bond.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. MI NUTES OF SPECIAL SUB-COMMITTEE ON HENDRIX COLLEGE PROPERTY RE-ZONING ~-------------------~----------~---------~~------------DECEMBER 15, 1970. ~--------------- At a special meeting held on December 15, 1970 at noon at Pacetti's Restaurant regarding the rezoning of Hendrix College property, the following persons were in attendance: T. P. lihite, Jim Pea cock, Jim Pa ce, Lesly Mattingly, Billy Rect or and Daisy Olson. It was determined that approximately one-third of the property in question is already zoned industrial. Billy Re ctor explained that the comparison between Pulaski Industrial Park and the Industrial District in West Little Ro ck made it extremely difficult to locate new industries in Jacksonvill e. He went on to state that unless an improvement could be made in the Park here, new prospects would all locate in the · industrial area in Little Rock. He said it was his hope to develop a presentable entrance comparable to the Park in West Little Rock; and he has at least two large firms who are prospects for the Jackson- ville area. ONe, he stated , will need a 900,000 sq. ft. building. It was the general consensus of those present that the through street should be located between the Credit Union building and the water tower close to the Power and Light station. It was recommended by T. P. Whit e that the request be granted subject to the owner providing the necessary covenants guaranteeing green area of 150 ft, together with parking, making a total of approximately 200 ft. along Mar shall Road for the entire length of the Park in question. Lesly Mattingly agreed to work with the traffic engineer on control of traffic across Gregor'y Street. It was moved by Jim Peacock, with second by Jim Pace, that the committee recommend to the Planning Commission rezoning of the entire parcel as requested, with provision of 200 ft. green area as buffer along Marshall Road, subject to filing permanent covenants and plot plan. There being no further business, the committee adjourned. MINUTES OF JACKSONVILLE PLANNING COMMISSIONL JANUARY SL 1971 ----------- -----------------------.....----ww ------ The Jacksonville Planning Commission held its regular meeting at 7:30PM on the 5th day of January, 1971, with the following members in -a-U-e-nda-nce-:-Cle_o Cavender-; Richard--A da-ir, Doug Wi-l-kinsen,-J -irn -Pace-,- Oscar Blucker, Johnny Wright, Jim Peacock, Daisy Olson, Secretary an John Harrington as representative from Metroplan. Other persons attending included Tommy Bond, Ferrell Gray, Billy Rector, Marshall Warner, and Chester Phillips. Jim Pace presided until 8:30 PM, when T. P. White, Chairman, arrived. The first item of business was the further consideration of rezoning of Hendrix College property on Marshall Road. Minutes of the former meeting pertaining thereto were read by the Secretary and the recom- mendations from the sub-committee were also read by the Secretary. A preliminary plat of the proposed industrial area was presertted and considered by the members present. Marshall Warner suggested the straightening of the major East-West thoroughfare and placing it immediately adjacent to the Credit Union property~ It was the general consensus of the Planning Commission members that the streets should meet the requirements of major thoroughfare and collector's street plan of 100 foot for major thoroughfare and 60 foot for collector StreetS. A general aiscussion ensuea-r -e-garding---parki-ng-----a-nd-g-ree-Fl-- area. It was initially the opinion of-xichard Adalr ana~onn~y--------- Wright that parking shouldnot be allowed on the front of the lots. John Harrington concurred in this. Billy Rector and Chester Phillips arrived about 8PM and explained that they would be willing to give whatever consideration necessary on the streets; that is, to locate the East West artery immediately adjacent to the Credit Union property, 100 foot wide, and straighten into a direct line from Marshall Road to Redmond Road, and further dedicate 60 foot collector streets, the location of which would have to be determined after the development was determined. Mr. Rector emphatically disagreed with the parking suggestion. He stated that it was his hope to develop the Pulaski Industrial Park similar to that in West Little Rock, with an approximate 25 foot green area and a belt of 175 foot for parking and green area in the front of the buildings. He stated that he had offered 150 foot parking and green belt and the sub-committee had required 200 foot, which was more than required anywhere else in the nc tion to his knowledge,
