Is requesting to approve preliminary subdivision of Windsor Landing Phase 9. Do we have anyone here to Am I coming to the podium, stating your name and

to I'm I'm I'm going Stadium Boulevard here in Jonesboro. Essentially, this is the last phase of that subdivision to my knowledge. There was some issues with the way it was originally platted. And we have gone back and forth to address what those issues were. And as far as I know, we've addressed everything that needs to be addressed. And now we're just seeking approval for it.

Yes sir. We have reviewed it. It does meet all the requirements of the subdivision ordinance so we would recommend approval of this subdivision.

Zulper, I'll make a motion that we approve.

All right, we have a motion for approval. Do we have a second? Jim Little, second. Have a motion and a second. If everyone would please vote.

Yes. So have been cast. Looks like we have five-zero. We've passed that. So you have received a favorable approval, and you'll need to get on the did I get a final? No. Okay. No. Get

with planning engineering to get everything ready on your plats. All

right. The second item on the list was an item for Horizon Land Surveying. They're requesting rezoning. That has been asked to be rescheduled to the next MAPC meeting, which will be April 14. So for that, rezoning at 5925 East Johnson Avenue will be rescheduled to the MAPC meeting on April 14.

The final item of business tonight is a rezoning request. Applicant John Easley is requesting a rezoning of the property at 6904 East Highland Drive from R 1 to Commercial C 3 and Industrial I 2. Looks like John is here.

I'm John Easley with Associate Engineering on behalf of John Stuckey, the property owner. We're asking for a rezone on a very small portion of the property. Back in 'eighty six when the annexation took place, this was on the very edge of the city limits and the property that come in was coming in as R one, three hundred foot off the easily line and 300 foot off Highway 18. Since then it's been annexed property zoning for the industrial. What Mr. Stugge is asking for is a portion of the R 1 be rezoned as Commercial C 3 along Highway 18 and then approximately halfway up the property on Easy Lane. And the rest of the property remains the same.

We ask for city comments. Darryl, if you would let us know cities. Yes, sir.

We reviewed this. It meets all six criteria of the reason owning request. So we would recommend approval with the following stipulations that the proposed site shall satisfy all requirements of the city engineer, all requirements of the current storm water drainage design manual and floodplain regulations regarding any new construction. A final site plan subject to all ordinance requirements shall be submitted, reviewed, and approved by the planning department prior to any redevelopment of the property, and any change of use shall be subject to planning department approval in the future.

Having comments from community on this yes, sir. If you would just step up and state your name and your address and and what your comments are.

My name is Milford Cummings. I live at 1903 Easley Lane and all of the people along there that I've talked to, they wanna know what's gonna be built right in front of our house. And the last time I asked, they said they didn't know yet. Well, if you build a noisy factory there, it's gonna ruin us. We can't sleep at nights. We can't sell our houses. So we still wanna know before you approve it what's gonna be there.

Well, at this particular point, this commission is not charged with being able to ask what's going to be developed there. It's just a changing of the zoning to C3. And there's a whole series of properties or developments that fit within a C three zoning. So they would be able to to build any of those items but would have to ask for special permission or special changes of use if they do something outside of that zoning.

That's what I was wondering. Does it get down to where they can build a factory there? Is it going to be small business like thing?

A factory would not fit in c three. So

Okay. That's that's the big thing. We didn't nobody along there wants a big noisy factory right in front of their house.

Right. Right.

And so that's what we're mainly worried about, but we wanted to know kinda what was gonna be built there so we would know whether it was gonna hurt us or help us.

Right. Right. I believe the the bigger part of that property is already I2. Is that correct, John?

Yeah. The big part of the property is I2. We're not asking for anything on it. On the C3 areas, the plan is to divvy it up in the individual line.

John, can you come up? They're not going to get any of that on camera. I can't hear you either.

Yes. On the C3 part along Easy Lane and then along Highway 18, those would more than likely be cut up into individual lots for small businesses, support for the industrial area, commercial on Highway 18. But there won't be a factory in front of your house.

Okay. So there won't be no noisy businesses. No

more noisy than usual.

Are there any comments or questions from commission members? No other comments? Do we have a motion?

Was hoping to make a motion to approve the request as submitted subject to stipulations.

We have a motion. Do we have a second? A little second. All right, we have a motion and a second. If everyone would please vote.

All right, we do have a approval five-zero vote. So you take that before the city council meeting. You have to get on the clock. 10:00 Thursday. Thursday. Are you? 10:00 Thursday. Thank you. Anybody else have any other business this evening?

One thing, next week is our design week for comprehensive plan from Monday to Thursday. We have an open house on Monday and Thursday nights from five to from five to 07:30. We'll have also working committees during that time. Feel free to drop by at any time. Take the survey. Give us your opinions, and we hope to see you all there. You can come at any time, but, you know, if you get a chance, come by. It's at the OYMCA over on Nettleton. Yes, sir. Sorry about that. That's all I've got.

All right. Anyone else have any comments? Okay. With that, we're adjourned. Thank you very much.
