Northstar engineer services on behalf of Richard Bri to rezone 3.59 acres from M2 General industrial district as shown on map a present to R1 low indes single family residence District at show on map B proposed located on cville road staff do you have anything for the commission commission we did our initial review on this rezoning requests and so I'll go ahead and um kind of elaborate on what they're asking for so M2 is a general uh General industrial districts this is where we do our manufacturing things like that um similar instances of M2 would be our Industrial Park up on North 84 uh headed towards uh New Brockton like YC Parker industrial park or the south industrial park on the south side of town um so looking at this zoning this zoning is um in some ways Antiquated for the area that it's in that it surrounds it now it's surrounded by um single family residential homes it's surrounded by commercial activity uh it's surrounded by denser um neighborhoods on the Rucker Boulevard side so looking at after we did the review of this this would be taking uh the 3.59 Acres out of manufacturing taking that ability away and putting it to an R1 which is our lowest density residential uh which would match the uh area that you have surrounding it especially coming off those houses will be coming onto a collector Street uh the reason why they decided to go with that density is so that way they could have the necessary driveway spacings coming off onto that road to make sure that there was proper um sight distances braking area things of that nature so

after we after we did that uh review we did uh find that we were in favor of the proposed rezoning uh and bringing that at 3.59 Acres from M2 to R1 okay thank you very much with the request to come hey good afternoon I'm Trent scarber with Northstar engineering um as Mr hardy said uh Mr brayes purchased this property and would like to to build um some res single family residential houses on it um with it currently being zoned M2 industrial that you know residential houses are not permitted zoning there um so we we're requesting to reone to R1 okay thank you Mr Trent thank you very much at this time we'll open the floor for public comments if there's anyone that would like to speak on this request that we'll on at the present time you have three minutes if you will come forth and give up your name and your address at this time seeing none we'll close the public come in at this time Commissioners do you all have any questions for uh any request if not then I will accept a motion and a second for a request by noar engineer services on behalf of Richard Bri to rezone 3.59 acres from M2 as shown on map a present to R R1 low density family residential district as showed on map be proposed located on cville road and this will be in continuous of approval by the council motion second okay we have a motion to to and a second to approve the request are there any questions all in favor raise your right hand oppos at the same time passes at this time thank you next on our agenda we have a request

by Northstar engineer services on behalf of Richard Bri for preliminary plat approval of Pine View subdivision located on cville road staff do you have any any commission looking at this uh preliminary plat like I said earlier during the resoning request this is our lowest density single family residential area or zoning that we allow um within this 3.59 Acres there at the plat plinary plat I believe only shows five Lots along with a 50 foot rway um that they would uh Grant the city for potential future connection um behind the railroad uh track that that that's there um when looking at the uh preliminary plat we found that it' be um aligned with our subdivision RS along with our set our zoning ordinance and we do recommend approval okay thank you Mr Trent do you have anything additional no sir um like I said we're the the 100 foot wide Lots was just because of the zoning ordinance um you know the driveway spacing on that collector Road cville Road thank you very much and then you know we've got the 50ft strip to hopefully they allow access across the railroad in the future if if that came to pass so okay thank you very much at this time we'll open the floor for public comments uh on the request that we're on at the present time if you come for us to give your name and your address you have three minutes to speak on this at this time being none we'll close the public comment at this time and I re I will accept the motion and a second on a request by Northstar engineer service on behalf of Richard BR for primary plat approval applying her P view subdivision located on cville road and this continuously on the pre on the approval

out Echo what uh chairman Harrison said that um this is really up to you this is up to the commission to adopt the bylaws make sure you read it over read it thoroughly see what you want in the bylaws versus what you don't want in the bylaws um I've done my own preliminary review of it and um you know this is probably the part of the meeting where I uh Pat Uh Mr Harrison on the bat again or back again um but it was a fantastic document there was only very minor changes that I could see that we may want to do just for some technical uh for some technical reasons but very much look into the document see what you want in there what you want changed if you have any ideas please communicate those to me in any media you wish to do if you want to come talk to me in my office if you want to if you want to send me an email if you want to call me um I'd be happy to uh to talk with anybody for however long we need to to get these right and then once we have a draft or final draft that the the commission has all put their hands on we will we give it out to the commission for review again we'll advertise it as we need to and then we'll approve it uh with the Planning Commission I'd love to be able to do that by the first meeting in May but I would rather get the document right than try to rush it across um so if you need anything from me my office is open and I'd be happy to help uh with anything getting these bylaws passed thank you Mr anyone to have any question Mr hardy now I know not on the particular document but just anything right now thank you very much um I was going to ask the the commission um just since we're already in this forum and we can all communicate on this uh is there any interest in holding a special um called meeting as for a uh discussion meeting so one we don't have anything nothing on the agenda for except discussing these bylaws um kind of like we've done in the past when we've done training and so forth and so on maybe we come in at lunch maybe we come in at

dinner or something like that and we can have a meeting where we can all talk about the around Robin around the table if there's any interest with that uh chairman yes uh matter of fact I was I was going to talk to you kind of offline once we get off I I know that um there's still training going on for and re and refresher going on that the college is still Institute is still teaching and I was going to ask you about that so yes that would be a good idea and we could talk about it we can look at uh maybe the new people when we can get them cert get them to get to the class to get certified and and the rest of us if we need the refresher to kind of let us well not to kind of to make sure that we stay up to date and even though we go through and we vote on thing we're going to make sure that we we carried out through like the section as as a state would like for us to do make sure we we're qualified yes sir um and so I will uh I will look up all the uh documentation we have on each individual's uh capsu certification I see who needs to go through the full class again see who just needs recertification um or see who hasn't went through it at all like uh like our chairman member Mr wils uh so that way we can get that done and then I'll also look at potentially doing a special uh called meeting maybe even having uh dinner at that meeting to be able to discuss these uh bylaws if it lines up with you know the majority of the commission schedule would you would you all be interested I know you all work and have to do some time but I think it'd be a good idea we can get together offline and talk about it uh any particular time or I know you can leave up to us but so I'll leave it up I'll leave it up to the commission but what I'll do is I will um speak to the uh director of the Capo program um and see when she's going to have one of the another one of the five to nine Zoom classes available because I understand that some of us uh some of us work during the day and they may not be able to take off a Thursday and half a day on Friday um to be able to go to a class or be able to zoom that class so I'll see
