Mayor, that's the last item on our agenda. You have the floor back to you.
Thank you, Chairman. We'll now move on to unfinished old business. Item one is going to be a consideration of an ordinance resigning certain realty in the city of Russellville, Arkansas for other purposes submitted by Josh Spence. This is unanimously recommended denial by Planning Commission. This is the third of three readings.
Mayor, I move that the City Council deny this zoning reapplication based on the findings and reasons that the Planning Commission brought forward to deny. Do we need a reading first?
We'll need a reading first, I believe, before we can deny it. Either if, I think, don't we have to read it and then you would either not make a motion or you could let it die or you could make a motion to deny it. Am I correct, Mr. Parliamentary? So, would you make a motion? Would you make a motion for reading, Mr. Gray?
because we have to read it before we deny it uh... should read by title only with suspending rules i know that we suspend the rules and read uh... this read this item by title only with a short explanation for the last time for a little third of three days all right i have a motion and did mr george you say that my motion is second
to suspend the rules read by the title only with a short explanation for the third uh the third of third three ratings third three reasons i'm sorry all in favor any opposed sir or it's reserved certain really in the city of russell arkansas for the purpose of the stores of past wood rezone property at 120 east main street from c1 central business district to c2 highway commercial
Mayor, I move that the City Council deny this rezoning item based on the findings and reasons of the Planning Commission and their unanimous denial of said item.
I have a motion and a second to deny this motion. So would that be an ordinance? Any discussion? So if...
I remember correctly from one of the trainings at a municipality conference when we're talking about zoning and denying something that the preference is instead of a yes vote being essentially denial. So a yes being a no and a no being a yes to actually phrase a motion, either to just vote on it or to phrase it for approval and then everyone vote no. So there's no confusion as to whether a yes is a no and a no is a yes.
So instead of a motion to deny, we have a motion to approve and then everyone vote?
Yeah. I'm clear either way, but if y'all want to make a different motion, fine.
We can do either way, I just, that was, that was.
I think it may, yeah.
Or you, if you do rescind your, if you do rescind your motion, can Mr. Gray rescind his motion and then it die? Well, I've got a motion and a second. I made a motion to deny. Okay, so if you're voting to deny, if we state it,
Yeah, because we've already got the motion out there.
And it's clearly, we'll state that voting yes is denial of this motion. Are you comfortable with that, Mr., if we make it clear?
I'm perfectly fine. I'm just saying that was the guidance from the municipal.
So next time we will try to remember it in the future. Okay. Due to the fact that it's an ordinance, I am going to ask for a roll call. Of course you would.
Of course I am. Once again, voting yes is to deny this.
Yes, ma'am.

Oh, this is where Bartlett Dental is. Yes. We're rezoning that. He has a dentist office, has a little bit of a small parcel there that's R1, and he's just shoring up and cleaning up the zoning in that to make his piece of property all C4, if I'm correct. No, C2. C4. C4, yes.
Yeah, it was a vacated alley, yes.
Okay, and so he's just kind of shoring up and squaring up that piece so that it's all the same zoning. Correct. Doing some cleanup. Okay, yeah. They're going to be here for the next, all of them, because the rest of them.

Other purposes, that's Carol Collins, who also has, she has practiced there for 20 years, thinking she had a C2 property, and she found out when she was doing something, it's an R1.
and so it's r2 and so she uh so so it's currently r2 i guess um right before she had purchased a property some 20 plus years ago um they had rezoned it from c4 to r2 we can't really discern as to why that happened um but she was under the impression that it was a c4 property until about a month ago when she discovered and we've been moving her through the process since then
And so that fits in line with everything we've got going on. There's no issue.

All right. Moving on to item five, which is consideration for an ordinance rezoning certain realty in the city of Russellville, Arkansas, for other purposes, submitted by Barrett & Associates on behalf of Janie and Laura Lee Morris Walker. I believe this is on Highway 6, or it's on 16th Street right across from Hickey Park. There's been a couple buildings that have not been in use, and we're grateful that these people are wanting to buy that piece of property and put some mixed-use, possibly some residential in there for us, which is much needed. Yep.
You said 16th Street?
Yes, right across from Hickey Park there. I believe it's where, I don't know if you're old enough to remember, but I'm thinking that's where the, well, no, I think it's the, no, it's the old Red Cross back in the day. It used to be the Red Cross right across there, I believe, so.
Do you remember that? I didn't know.
I didn't know if you were that old enough, Laura.
I'm giving you credit for being young, so, or Councilwoman Wessel.
So, yeah, that's where this property is, and they wanted to do some mixed-use residential there, so.

All right, thanks, sir. Item six is consideration of ordinance rezoning certain realty in the City of Russellville, Arkansas for other purposes. This is submitted by Barrett & Associates on behalf of Real Practices. This is the property located at Parkway in Phoenix on the southwest corner. There will be a walk. There are one real practice want to put in a walkable neighborhood. Right. So this will definitely be good.
This is off of Chesty Polar. Oh, yeah. I've right behind the St. Mary's Medical Complex.
Did you get any resolution on the issue I brought up like future facing 30, 40, 50 years from now?
We did explore kind of what potential, if there were potential improvements that needed to be made to the overpass that is either if it had to shift left or east or west. There would be a room likely to add another lane without having to substantially shift the overpass in a way that it would damage or prevent the entry to Chesty Polar, that access. There's also potentially future forward where the parking lot is at the you have to forgive me, adjacent to both this property in question as well as the St. Mary's Medical Complex for a potential future access. But again, if we're talking in scale of moving the overpass, that might also be an option.
I just brought up the fact that it's 50 years from now, 40 years from now, rebuild an overpass. Like this one, we shifted it to the east, probably going back to the west. If you're going to have to rebuild one, I just wanted to see. Just thinking that, because I'm sure plenty of people would be cussing me 40 years from now. We will remember you fondly. Actually, none of us will probably be here 50 years from now. I know you've sat in this seat very long. Some past councillors are like, why did they do that? Why didn't they think of that? Anyway, I just wanted to bring it up. It was a good concern.
I appreciate it. I'll entertain a motion.
Mayor, may we suspend the rules, dispense with the reading requirement, read for the first of three readings by title only with short explanation.
Got a motion in a second, Mr. Bradley there, was suspend the rules, read by title only with a short explanation for one of three readings. All in favor? Aye. Any opposed?
