Planning Commission - Regular Meeting

order if we'll have the roll call, please. Pat here. Dion Jones here. Janice Lewis here. Mark Wall here. Diane Singer here. Donnie Sing here. Steve Stratton. All right. You've received uh pre before this meeting the uh the minutes of the August 12th, 2025 meeting. Are there any corrections or additions that need to be made to the minutes? If not, do we have a motion to approve the minutes? I make a motion to approve.

All right, we have a motion by Miss Singer to approve the minutes and Dion Jones seconded that. Any other discussion? All those in favor say I. I. Any opposed? Then the minutes have been approved.

Okay. Under the new business, we have an application for a zoning map amendment submitted by Sam Giad Pan-American Engineers on behalf of Murphy Oil USA property owners. The request is to reszone the property from uh PUD plan unit development district to C2 highway commercial district for the purpose of establishing a convenience store with fuel pumps at this location. The 1.20 20 plus or minus acre subject property is located at the northwest corner of Hacks Crossroads and Highway 302, Holiday Crossing, section A, First Revision Lot One, known as 7015 Hacks Crossroads. And we've received a letter from the applicant requesting to table this application known until October 14th, 2025, which will be our our next meeting. So, I need a a U motion to accept that we table this application to the next meeting.

I'll make a motion to table. All right. We have a motion by Mr. Jones to table it. Do we have a second? Second. We have a second by M. Mr. Long. Any any other discussion? If not, those in favor signify by saying I. I.

Any opposed? So the motion carries and this application will be tabled till the next meeting. I know there are some people here that were here for this particular item and uh we'll take it up next month. Under new business item number two, we have an application for final plat for HGood minor lot subdivision submitted by Bob Farley Farley Surveying on behalf of Jason HG Good and Hammer H Amber Hgood Rodenberry property owners. The request is to subdivide 5.88 plus or minus acres into three lots. The subject property is zone AR Agricultural Residential District and is located on the east side of Davidson Road approximately 850 ft south of Timber Oaks Drive known as 6292 Davidson Road. And we'll now have the staff presentation.

Okay. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Again, we have a piece of property here, partial located off of Davidson Road. If you'll follow my cursor here, this is 302 headed west uh Davidson Road. There is a Murphy here. Quality uh landscaping. We may have passed it, but this is where the Murphy is at. You take a left. This is the Napa uh come down Davidson Road 6292 Davidson Road. As you will note, uh they did propose they are proposing three lots. Lot one is an improved lot improved lot with a home already existing. It does have a gravel driveway that approaches the home. I've got some pictures later on in the presentation to show you the home from 1974. Uh also the home now showing the gravel driveway. It is a um a condition that we uh pave the first 100 ft 100 foot of the driveway. Uh but uh we are trying to uh the other two ask that the driveways before any buildings are put on uh and any occupancy of the buildings that the driveways be paved. So again proposed lot one is an improved uh lot with an existing home. Uh the intended subdivision would create these two other lots. Utilities are in the area and readily available. All infrastructure completion shall be the responsibility of the developers. With this, there is no variance or deviations or waiverss that are applicable to the plat. And staff does recommend approval subject to various conditions. If we were to go out uh south on

Davidson Road 6292, this is the mailbox we would see. This is the existing driveway that does lead up to this house as you see here on the left. This is the old gravel driveway that runs the property line. This is lot two here uh on the very bottom. This would be lot two and lot three here on the very left. So, we've got a collage of pictures here that show you the current state of the vacant property along with the existing structure on lot one. Um these are the yard requirements. As you can see, lots one, two, and three meet everything. They meet the 1 acre minimum. They meet the front, side, and rear setbacks. Uh they also meet the building widths. And the maximum density would be one dwelling unit per acre in the AR zoning. As I noted here, the only thing that we would talk about with transportation is, we do um ask that u we recommend and see that this driveway is an existing driveway, this is 1974. This is 2020. Uh we uh note that the driveway has been there for some time. We ask that the first 100 ft, so the first 100 feet is only about up to these trees here. We ask that that get paved. that keeps the gravel off of the public roads and allows them to uh not have to go through the expense of paving the entire driveway. These other two lots when they're built, we ask that the driveways be paved and plat nodes be added for that. Um in the AR district, sidewalks are not required. So that would be uh waved in this particular plat. Our next step would be upon recommendation by the planning commission that the plat be forward to the mayor board of alderman for consideration. Plat would need to be

recorded. Once it's recorded, the lots may be sold or building permits obtained. Uh that would be in accordance with the applicable city's land development regulations. Staff recommendation is for approval of the final plat of the Hood Minor lot subdivision. We've got eight conditions here. Actually, there's seven. Got a six that popped its way in here. Again, let's note four and five though. Four is the first 100 foot of driveway on lot one and five is the plat note that says driveways on lots two and three shall be paved. And that is the extent of the presentation. Thank you.

Okay. Any questions of staff? If not, I see Mr. Farley in the audience. Do you wish to make a statement on this? Bob Farley, 235 West Chiloma Avenue, Holly Springs, Mississippi. I'll answer any questions y'all would have for me.

Any questions? No questions. Thank you. All right. I'll open for for public hearing. Anyone here wish to speak in favor against this application? If not, then the public hearing is closed. I will now entertain any comments, discussion, or motions from the commissioners. Make a motion that uh approve the final plat subject to conditions 1 through six.

All right. We have a motion by Mr. Jones to approve the the plat uh subject to the staff recommendations. Uh do we have a second on this? I'll second. All right, we have a second by Miss Singer. Any other discussion? All those in favor signify by saying I.

Any opposed? Then the motion carries and the application is approved. Uh the item number three is an application for final plat for Sergio's auto repair subdivision submitted by Bob Farley, Farley Surveying on behalf of Donnie Auctioner property owner. The request is to create one lot from 2.07 plus or minus acres. The subject property is on M2 Heavy Industrial District and is located on the east side of Highway 178 directly across from Maywood Drive known as 8220 Highway 178. We'll now have the staff presentation.

Yes, sir. Uh again bringing you up to where we are here planning commission if we follow the cursor here north on Highway 178. We come up to Maywood Drive. That would be Neighborhood Grill is here and Sergio's is right beside of them. Uh these are the two lots we will be talking about. Two partials I must say. Uh one is vacant and one does have an existing building. As we do talk about this presentation, we will get into this uh existing building is a nonconformity and uh upon demolishment of the building uh we would ask that it be built behind the setback lines. So uh that's something we're going to approach as we move forward here. So again, as the commissioner said, this application seeks a final plat uh for approval to combine two partals into one light. So, as I did note, this lot on the north is a vacant lot. This lot here to the south does have existing buildings on it. The existing buildings, you can see uh this building here actually is over the uh 5- foot utility easement. And the note says utility easement to connect if this building is demolished. So if that building were to be demolished, we ask that the building be put back behind the setback lines. So uh the lower partial is currently used as an auto repair shop. These are these buildings right here where my cursor is at. This uh partial here to the north is an empty lot in which they plan uh to put up a fence and move some cars onto uh for staging for repair. uh platting partials is a necessary step to the possibility of obtain obtaining a building permit and that's what uh he plans to do in the future uh for

development on the property. I will state up front this is not a truck dropy yard. This is just for Sergio to have auto repair on. So, as you can see here, I've got a picture of the uh the two lots, the two parcels here that we're talking about to combine them into this lot 2.07 acres. As you will note here, I've got some yard requirements. Everything is met except for the buildings. Uh these are nonconformity buildings. Uh these are the buildings up front here specifically 8210 which is over the utility easement and again we would ask if the buildings are tore down that uh they would be built behind the setback lines. This is our new lot with our uh with our uh hopefully this lot built out to whereas uh he can move his cars. Uh these are the buildings here and this line goes away and and the lot becomes 2.07 acres. So as anything we talk about transportation, the lot does front on Highway 178. There's no construction uh needed. So no bond would be needed. This is the building. It is a variance somewhat of a deviation. Existing buildings, as you can see, are nonconforming regarding the front yard setback. And as you know, a deviation from any standards of subdivision improvements is not warranted. This is a minor plat. This is not a major subdivision that would involve a significant subdivision infrastructure. So it just all that we're saying is if the building is tore down, we would need to move the building behind the setback lines. Uh in this case, there's no waiver uh needed. There's no sidewalks within the vicinity. uh it's recommended

that sidewalk requirements uh be waved for this minor plat. So our next steps here as we just said on the other one upon recommendation by the planning commission the final plat would be presented to the board of alderman for approval. Final plat would need to be recorded before any building permits would be issued for construction or any permitted uses of any of or any permitted uses on any of the proposed lots. So staff recommendation is to approve the final plant for Sergio's auto repair subdivision. Recommend the same to the mayor and board of alderman. We've got conditions one through five. Again, we want to recognize that uh number three, it is recognized that existing buildings are legally nonconforming regarding side and front yard setbacks in M2 districts. Future buildings shall meet all setback requirements. That concludes staff presentation. Any any questions to staff?

I've got a question for staff. It's on the um the the drawing. The the owner certificate. It says I we Amber H. Good, Rottenberry, and Jason H. Good as owners of the property hereby about this point. But then it's got Donald Oxner Jr. Valerie Oxner as the signatures. Is it document? Sir, honestly, I I did not hear you. Um I don't know if you were muffled or heard the Okay.

On the owner certificate of the drawing from far survey, it says the owner certificate. I, we, Amber Hey, good, Rottenberry, and Jason Hay good as owners of the property hereby adopt this plan. But then it's got the signatures of Donald and Valerie. Is that a minor edit that you guys can can fix or is that Yes, sir. That sounds like a question Bob will be able to answer and fix as he was working on both uh the former um presentation and this one. So, sounds like a minor edit he'll have fixed before we get to board of alderman, but I'll let Bob confirm that.

Any any other questions to staff? All right, Mr. Farley will if you please come forward and possibly could answer that question. It's one of those minor edits. I know. I just want to make I just want to make sure I'm not approving something for Amber Rottenberry and and Valerie gets upset. That's one of those minor, Mr. Jones. You know, you can look at them a thousand times that you'll overlook things every time. Oh, that would be corrected. All right. I appreciate that.

No further questions and thank you, sir. And once again, I'll open it for public hearing. Anyone here wish to speak for against this application? If not, then the public hearing is closed and I will now entertain any comments, discussion or motions from the commissioners. Motion to approve to staff conditions. Okay, we have a motion by Mr. Strat Stratton to approve the application subject to staff conditions. Do we have a second? Second. All right, we have a second by Miss Lewis. Any other discussion? All those in favor signify by saying I. I.

Any opposed? Then the motion is carried and the application is approved. Thank you.

Good job. All right. We have an application for a final plat for Olive Branch Logistics Park lot one submitted by German Paraggoy PE Kimley Horn and Associates on behalf of Land Grant LLC Mark Balding property owner. The request is to subdivide 72.33 plus or minus acres into 167.88 plus or minus lot and 4.45 four, five plus or minus acres of rightway to widen Kirk Road and to extend um South Crossroads Drive. The subject property is zone M1 Light Industrial and is located on the south side of Kirk Road, approximately 760 ft east of Poke Lane. We'll now have staff presentation.

Yes, sir. Thank you. U you may recall what you're seeing on the slide. Back in July of this year, you approved and then you recommended approval, I should say. And then on August 19th, the board of alderman approved a preliminary plat to subdivide about 220 acres into three industrial lots and rights of way and one common open space. And it was supposed to be over three development phases. And that property that you can see outlined in blue is on the south side of uh Kirk Road and it is to the east of uh Pulk Lane. And what we have tonight is a follow-up application and this is for the first of the three-phase development phases and it's to plat you know one lot and do some improvements of rightway and specifically this shows you a sketch of what this plaid is proposing to do. It's a total of 72.33 acres that's being subdivided out. Uh, lot one is about 68 acres in size. And then the division also includes additional right-of-way dedication of about two and a half acres along the north side of that lot one to widen out Kirk Road. And then also a little bit under two acres along the east side of the property to extend the South Crossroad Drive through the uh development. This next slide shows you this is the preliminary plat exhibit and what's shaded with the crosshatch and the dark gray was basically what the preliminary plat showed would be the first phase of the development. And so the final plat that we have tonight is an exact well pretty much an exact match of what the preliminary uh plat showed the applicant in this case. And this shows you a copy of the final plat that's you're being being asked to recommend on tonight. Uh the applicant has actually submitted a site plan

showing that this lot one would be improved with a 1.2 million square foot warehouse distribution facility. And on that same set of civil plans, they've included the road plans to widen out uh Kirk Road and also to extend Crossroad Drive. So whether you're talking about a, you know, single family subdivision where you're talking about building a house that's 2,000 square feet, or you're talking about a big industrial subdivision where you're talking about a 1.2 million square foot warehouse, the process for subdivision is the same. And what that means is that you have to record the subdivision, get it approved, and record it before you can get a building permit to go vertical. Now, one of the differences with this type of subdivision is the plans show the public improvements as well as the vertical improvements with the warehouse all in the same plan set. And so, what the applicant will need to do is record a letter of credit to cover the cost of the public improvements or to build that new road and to widen out Kirk Road. But that's really the only difference. And that's very common when you're dealing with these big industrial projects that they kind of do all of the construction at the same time because of the massive scale of those projects as opposed to a residential subdivision where you'd basically build the roads and utilities first, get it recorded, and then pull individual permits for your for your single family homes. So, we're pretty much typical on that. Uh we do have a recommended motion that you would uh forward up to the board of alderman to subdivide the 72.33 acres as shown and it would be subject to the exact same conditions that you did back in uh July or recommended back in July for the uh preliminary plat. Um, I did want to mention in number four, just to remind you that this phase one construction, it does include the Kirk

Road widening and construction of South Crossroad Drive abudding lot one. Um, again, we'll have the plans under six and seven approved by the city engineer with the appropriate letter of credit given to cover the cost of those um, off-site improvements. And then I did want to mention also number 10 that we in all likelihood will have overhead electrical transmission lines down South Crossroad Drive. I doubt that they have electrical plans done yet, but that's just done in anticipation because normally we would say that all of those would have to be buried. So that concludes the staff presentation. I'd be happy to answer any questions. I see German Paraggo here from Kimley Horn who could probably answer anything in more detail than me.

Okay. Any questions of staff? If there no questions, Mr. Paraggoy, do you wish to come forward?

Good evening. I'm German Pariggoy. My address is 10191 Shrewsbury Run West in Carterville, Tennessee. Happy to answer any question that you may have. Anyone have any questions? Gosh, no questions tonight then. Thank you so much. Thank you. Uh I'll open for a public hearing. Anyone here wish to speak for or against this application? If not, then the public hearing is closed. And now I'll entertain any comments, discussion, or motions from the commissioners. I make a motion to approve and recommend that the board of alderman approve the final plat.

Okay. um subject to the same conditions associated with the August 19th, 2025 preliminary plat approval. Okay. We have a motion by Mr. Jones to approve the application and forward it to the board of almond subject to the staff conditions. Do do we have a second? Second. All right, we have a second by Mr. Singh. Any other discussion? All those in favor signify by saying I. I. Any opposed? And the motion carries and the application has been approved. Thank you.

All right. We've got an application for the preliminary plat for Margarite Manor Commercial Center phase 2 submitted by Andrew Link Waffle House, Inc. on behalf of Barry Bridgefor Margarite Manor LLC property owner. The request is to divide 14 plus.18 plus or minus acres into 13 lots for commercial use. The subject property is own PUD plan unit development district and located on the south side of Church Road just east of Pleasant Hill Road North. We'll now have the staff presentation.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Planning Commissioners before is your request to consider the preliminary plan for this phase two of the Margaret Mano commercial area subdivision. Phase one is essentially developed of this commercial area is developed with there is a gas station at this 5005 corner lot. There is a strip mall with some restaurants offices at this location. And this is currently vacant. And then you have a dollar general. Further to the east is Margaret Mano residential area. And then line between that is this piece of property which is the subject of the preliminary plat application before you today. Generally this lies south of Church Road and at this easterly corner with Pleasant He Road. There's a Sandish Road over here. The dump area will be to the north at this location. So you're looking at that vacant piece of property within this general area. The Margaret Manor plant uh PUD if you look at it this is the area in the PUD it has generally developed as it was planned conceptually. Initially you had those two uh outpasses or lots you can say others have been added. This is a reality that you have on the site today and this area is really what you is a subject property under consideration. As you see it was conceptualized in the preliminary layout plan. You had two you had a connection here going on to church road and a connection here going on to Pleasant Hill Road. Basically at this location and at this other location. So the preliminary plot before you contemplate

creating essentially u 13 lots. So you have lot one, lot two, lot three. This this two are kind of together and then you will have lot four, lot five, 6, 7, 8 up to lot 16 of the margar. This is preliminary. These are all preliminary lots. These number of lots can change significantly by the time you get to final plot. may end up not being in one lot, may end up not being in two, may not be three. So these are just preliminary. Currently you have a private drive basically is a shared access easement between lot three and what would be lot four that is platted that is an easement platted is private. The applicant proposes to make that public. So to to be dedicated as a public street via final plat and with that dedication, this is really the reason you have this before you as a preliminary plan because once you start constructing public infrastructure in any subdivision, then a preliminary plan is required. Even if it's just one lot, a preliminary plan is required. We the the key interest here for the applicant was lot four and lot five. Lot four because this has prospective for the Waffle House restaurant on lot four. Lot five doesn't yet have anything fixed at this time. A 20 ft buffer 20 ft wide buffer is required between the commercial area and the residential subdivisions. And that is required to have a 6 ft high SIM techch ecos fence. That was required by the board of adaman back in 2017. Um and it's included include that ordinance in your packet that particular requirement in the staff's pocket uh staff report. So

because of that intent to reconstruct this and dedicate it as a public street, this is before you as a preliminary plan. There is currently no specific intention as far as the development of L six to L 16 is concerned. So even this layout of the road from this particular location right up to Pleasant Hill, it's speculative. Uh the city engineer however did ask that at least we should have a profile that shows that this road layout can work before we we proceed and I think that has been done the to show that okay if you actually go in the developer of lot 4 is going to build this four house is going to build that road right up to this end and then in future wherever is going to take it from here and continue it needs to at least be conceptualized that a layout can work that's what a profile it's all about and that has been that has been done. This is the preliminary plan as proposed. Utilities are all in the area. It will be the responsibility of the developer to extend those utilities to provide for any lot in the subdivision. Staff recommends approval subject to these conditions 1 to 7. Condition number three addresses the profile requirement basically that entire street proposed to be publicly dedicated via final plan shall be submitted to reviewed by and approved by the city engineer before a building permit may be issued for the development of any of the proposed prospective lots. These road shall be constructed with curb g and sidewalks on both sides in its entirety. Condition number seven, sidewalks shall be constructed along the pleasant hill frontage of the property. If you look right here, there are sidewalks kind of shown here, you have that little white area. Those are sidewalks that were constructed on Pleasant Hill Road front of that gas station right up to this location. And then the residential area

at the back of the property also has sidewalks. So, it's important to fill up that area so we can have a continuous sidewalk along Pleasant Hill Road. That is precisely what that condition number seven addresses. That concludes T's presentation. Thank you. Okay. Any questions of staff? I had a quick one. Uh, between lots four and five, do they have access easements? Lot four and five. Yes, that will be addressing the final plat. Okay, thanks. Any other questions? If no further questions, do we have someone here to represent the application? If you'll please come forward.

Good evening. I'm Andrew Link with Waffle House of 5470 Sherman Devie, Atlanta, Georgia. I'm just here to answer any questions you might have. Anyone Anyone have any questions? No questions, then thank you. Thank you. U once again, I'll I'll open this up for public hearing. Anyone here for against this application that wish to speak? If not, then the public hearing is closed and I will now entertain any comments, discussion, or motions from the commissioners. I make a motion to approve.

All right, we have a a motion by Miss Singer to approve the application subject to the staff conditions. Do we have a second? Second. We have a second by Mr. Stratton. Any other discussion? All those in favor say I. I.

Any opposed? And the motion is carried and application is approved. And item number six is the application for the final plat for lots four and five uh retail section 8A Margarite Manor at Robinson Crossing Commercial Center submitted by Andrew Link Waffle House, Inc. on behalf of Barry Bridgeforth Margarite Manor LLC property owner. The request is to create two lots of 0.55 plus or minus acres and 1.0 08 plus or minus acres. The subject property is on PUD plan unit development district and is located on the south side of Church Road just east of Pleasant Hill Road North. And we'll now have have staff presentation.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Before you request to consider the final plot, so this is final for lots four and five of what you just approved or recommended for approval in the preliminary plot. So four and five are going to be finer. As I did indicate, utilities are available in this area. There's an 8 in sewer line. There's a gas line along Church Road. Also, there's a 6 in line there. And then there's a 12-in water line. It will be the responsibility of the developer to extend those lines to service any development on these individual lots. This is the area that is requested to become a public street upon the recordation of this final plot. Um the reason this final plat for these two lots are before you is because Waffle House Incorporated intends to develop lot 4 for the Waffle House restaurant. So everyone on Church Road, you can go there now and get a waffle once this once this is done. Uh lot five for now is going to be vacant. Uh we don't have any specific development proposed on lot five at this time. As far as the site plan and all these building elevations are concerned, those are reviewed and approved administratively by staff. But the plat, every element dealing with the subdivision infrastructure, the streets, the street, the street construction, the street names, the sidewalks on the streets, uh the utilities, the lot layout, uh the buffering, all of that is subject to this particular plat uh approval. The there was question that was asked not long ago in terms of cross access easement. So there is a 25 ft C crossaxis easement that would ling lot four and lot five which is shown in this

shown here. So it be 25 ft wide. Basically it goes is this um drive aisle intended to extend across lot 5 when that is eventually done and it should provide access. One of the conditions for approval is that the developer of lot 5 will build a sidewalk connecting lot five to west Margaret Circle. The reason here being you know it should be possible for residents in this subdivision to to walk get on that easement be able to walk eat in that area. Even you want to get a waffle just walk out there eat and go back instead of having to drive down on Goodman road on on church road deal with the traffic and all the turns. So that is the reason why you have that particular or if you just want to walk in even and get a gallon of milk from Dollar General, you don't need to to to to drive that should be possible. Now the offense as I did indicate in the preliminary plat review a fence was a sim echo stone fence was required by the board of adamant to be constructed in in this property lines in this buffer 20 ft wide buffer. What you currently have out there is a wood fence. The board has never amended that particular condition. As such, it is being maintained here once we have these developments go going through. I've asked to speak with the property owner tomorrow as far as going in and putting in this fence is concerned. The board order was very specific on what type of fence should be out there. It did specify that it should be the same fence similar to the one that was constructed on Pleasant Hill Road behind Sports Academy. basically is this fence here. The sy coast stone fence that that is what was required out there. This is the final plaque that is the easement we talked about and the requirement for that sidewalk construction is all written as notes on

the plaque. The road is proposed to be named WOW and there's a bit of a question mark on that. Generally you will as a matter of practice in street naming a road would take the name of a very specific business when that road services maybe like a corporate area. So we have Google come to the city of holy branch for example and use an entire Google campus you can name the roads going into it Google drive that kind of stuff. But when you have a potential for multiple lots that you have different businesses on those lots, giving a single name that is attributed to one business can become a disincentive for others in that area. Now, subdivision regulations do not address this very specifically is it's a matter of the planning commission's recommendation and the board of adamant's decision on on what as far as that name is concerned. But the name is final. Whatever name is recorded on the final pl is approved on the final pl that will become final. So that is open to planning commission's recommendation. Condition number five addresses the need for that fence to be put in uh once five is developed and should the property owner condition number five. This is most likely what is going to happen since Waffle House intends to go in and start this construction to pull a building permit and start building on number on on lot four. you will need to post a financial guarantee for the construction of the road in order to be able to to record the plaid and then get a building permit. That's what condition number five addresses. Lastly, the written consent of the owner of L three, that's a dollar general lot is required regarding the dedication of the proposed road as a public street. That consent need to be submitted to the planning staff before this plat is considered by

the board of adamant. The reason being the plat for that lot three stated that that driveway what is a driveway basically this is a private easement for the benefit of lot three and the rest of all the other property so if you're going to then turn it into a public street well he has the owner of lot three has interest in it and needs to concern so and I think they've been working on that already that concludes staff's presentation thank you

any questions to staff Uh, yes. Could you pull up the um the drawing that had the location of the restaurant where it would be placed? Um, no question. I'll I'll wait to who's presenting just I got a question, but leave that up there. Anyone else? If not, if if you'll please come forward and represent the application. Uh, Andrew Link again with Waffle House 5470 Sham Devie, Atlanta, Georgia to answer some questions.

Uh, just just a quick question. The the location of the restaurant and mo most of the lights are going to be in in in towards the the building. Um, my concern is that we're going to have have a half completed road next to I think that's a Dollar General and a Waffle House.

Is is is there can you will you consider in building that um and maybe the engine working with the engineer to ensure that that's properly lit so that we don't have people parking at the end of that street on a you know dark area next to a Dollar General and a Waffle House. You know Waffle houses my daughter not go to one after 10 p.m. Fair enough. But just just for for consideration for you know for safety safety reasons just if if Waffle House would consider working with the engineer to ensure that that's properly lit. So essentially street lights along that road. Yeah.

Okay. That's all I have. Any other questions? Would you consider changing the name the name of the street of the road? Yeah, I'm open to it to to something that is not just solely dedicated to Waffle House because that's a very valid point that there will be other businesses especially hopefully there will be other businesses in the other lots behind you guys and whatnot. So, um I don't know maybe something like Margaret Way or Margaret Drive or something like that. Yeah, there you go. Yep. I'm I'm happy to change the name. And the f the suggestion of the founder is a good one.

Yeah. Nobody nobody would know. It's Bob Weey or whatever his last name is. It's probably Waffle. Any other any other questions? All right. No further questions and thank you thank you sir for your comments. All right. uh open it up for public hearing. Anyone here wish to be speak for or against this application? If not, then the public hearing is closed and I'll entertain any comments, discussion or motions from the commissioners. Um and anything else to anything other to add than uh reconsider the road name and lighting

lighting

the lighting on the public road. Yes, you can add that into your motion if you wish to do so. Um, I'd like to make a motion to approve uh final plat of lots four and five. Um, subject to conditions one through nine, plus adding that the uh the applicant will work with the engineer to ensure that the public road is properly lit and um do we just uh and not approve Waffle Way? Okay, we have a have a motion by Mr. Jones to approve the applications subject to staff conditions one through nine and then adding that the owner will work with the engineer about placing lights between the two properties there and also the street consideration of the street not being named Waffle Way. Is that that covered?
