The ordinance was read the first time. Mr. Steve Beck, Interim Planning Director stated
this is a 6.7 -acre site, currently zoned MF -18. Mr. Beck stated what the Board is looking
at tonight is two variances on the sub - division plat. He stated that before the proposed
project is built it would have to be rezoned from Multi - Family to Single Family. The
proposed subdivision, other than these two variances, meets all the requirements. He
stated that what could be built there right now, as a matter of right, increased depth to
width ratio. He explained that sometimes when there is a cul -de -sac there is very little

street frontage, and it is not uncommon to request and grant variances. Mr. Beck stated
there were several issues having to do with relocating water and sewer lines in this
subdivision that have been taken care of. Director Adcock stated this is a new type of
housing, a rental purchase type of housing, and asked who on staff would address that.
She wanted an explanation of how that works, because it is not the usual tax credit that
the Board is asked to look at. Mr. Beck stated that staff looks at not whether it is rental or
whether people own it, but there is nothing in the ordinance that makes that distinction.
Mr. Bob Turner, Acting City Manager stated that what is before the Board tonight, is
generally standard variances required for a single family sub - division and rental property,
and is an appropriate consideration whenever the letter of support comes before the
Board. He stated it is an issue that should be considered with the letter of support rather
than with this particular item. Mr. Turner stated if this were approved then the letter of
support request would come before the Board and if this were not approved, then the
letter of request would not be forthcoming. Director Adcock asked what would happen
to the proposal if this were passed and then the Board voted no on the letter of support.
Mr. Turner stated he thought that would then be up to the developer whether to pursue
with the subdivision exactly as it has been passed, without any letter of support from the
Mayor for other funding. Director Adcock stated this is the third time this property has
been brought before the Board in the last several months. Mr. Turner conferred with Ms.
Shayla Bebee, Assistant to the Mayor, who has been corresponding with the applicant,
regarding the letter of support. Mr. Turner announced that the Board had in their packets,
a letter from the applicant that basically requests the Board give consideration of this
request, and if not approved, the applicant has indicated he would retain the Multi- family
zoning, and proceed with a multi - family project as with their original plan. Mr. Turner
stated the applicant had applied to build apartments the last time the request was before
the Board. Director Cazort asked for the sketch for the plan to be brought up on the
viewing screen. He stated this property is currently zoned MF -18, and the proposal is to
subdivide this property into approximately twenty single family houses, but that is not
what is before the Board tonight. What is before the Board is a variance request on lots
twenty -two and twenty three because they are going to be longer than they are wide. He
asked Mr. Beck if the applicant could change this to the single family homes assuming
there was no need for a variance to change the lot size with out the Boards approval. Mr.
Beck answered that no, other than the fact that it would need to be rezoned. Director
Cazort said then, ultimately, the Board would consider the zoning question. Director
Cazort clarified that even if the variance is denied, the applicant could still come back
with a zoning request having redrawn the lot lines. Director Cazort stated that all the
Board is being asked to consider tonight is the variances in the proposal, Lots 22 and 23.
Director Keck made the statement that Director Adcock had brought forward that these
homes were going to be rent houses, or lease purchase houses, and understood that there
may be a commitment that requires someone to rent these homes for an extended period
of time. He said he had heard everything from five years to fifteen years, and wanted
clarification on that, and if that were not accurate would like to know what the plans are
for that. Director Kumpuris urged the Board to consider the variances tonight, and when
the issues come up about the project and how it is being done, to look at that issue at that

time, but did not think to mix the two misses at this point and time was good. Mr. Tom
Carpenter, City Attorney, stated that all that is before the Board tonight is whether or not
to grant the variances for the lot sizes. Mr. Pat McGetrick, representing the applicant,
stated he was the engineer for this project and was representing the applicant as far as the
preliminary Plat goes and did not have knowledge of what the zoning issues and use of
the property were. He stated all they were asking for was the variances on the two lots,
lot to depth ratio. He said the applicant would come back to the Board at a later date to
request rezoning before the project proceeds. Director Adcock asked if the applicant was
present. He was not. There were three speakers present who were opposed to project.
The speakers were: Carolyn Heitman, who yielded her time to Doris Wright, both of
who were representing the John Barrow Neighborhood Association. Ms. Wright stated
the neighborhood was not opposed to the variance, which would only allow him to
change two lots. That has to be done in order for the applicant to get the property
rezoned to single family. Single family residential is what the neighborhood wants.
What they do not want is rental property. She stated they are opposed to his method of
financing because apparently there is something tied to this being rental property, and had
stated she had no understanding of that, and asked the applicant to sit down with the
neighborhood and let them work through this with him. Mollie Irvin, stated this was the
third time it has been before the Board, the first time it was apartments, and the second
time is was for elderly and handicapped, and now this. She said she is okay with the
variances but not the proposed use, which she understood was rental property.
Director Cazort moved to suspend the rules and place the ordinance on the second
reading; Director Keck seconded the motion, and by unanimous voice vote of the Board
members present being two - thirds in number the rules were suspended to provide for the
second reading. The ordinance was read the second time. Director Adcock, seconded by
Director Cazort made the motion to suspend the rules and place the ordinance on third
and final reading. By unanimous voice vote of the Board members present, being two -
thirds in number the rules were suspended to provide for the third and final reading. The
ordinance was read the third time. By unanimous voice vote of the Board members
present, being two - thirds in number, the ordinance passed.
26. ORDINANCE NO. 19,083 - Amending Chapter 30 of the Code of Ordinances of the

Requirements for 2807 Willow Springs Road. Planning Commission: Consent Agenda.
Staff recommends approval. Synopsis: Authorizes a waiver of street plan improvements under the

not been done. The notice given initially was not in the proper form to everyone, which
was on the tenth day, and then the applicant sent out the proper notice but that was sent

going to have send out a third notice, because he has given notice of tonight's hearing,
and will have to set it for another period. Director Cazort asked what the notice period is.
Mr. Carpenter answered that it was ten days. Director Cazort stated to give the benefit of

was deferred to May 4, 2004.
