Citizen Communication
Chair Dick Downing stated that this was a special called meeting to discuss
the expansion of the extraterritorial jurisdictional area.He introduced Stephan
Giles for the City Attorney's office.
City Attorney Staff Stephen Giles briefly covered the state law that gives
municipalities the right to zone extraterritorially.He continued with a history of
extraterritorial planning history in the City of Little Rock.Mr.Giles then
reviewed the order of the items on the agenda and how state law dictates their
order on the agenda.He briefly covered all three items on the agenda and
explained that the Board of Directors has dictated to the Planning Commission
and Staff to develop the plans.
Chair Dick Downing continued and added that this was a special meeting.He
continued with the procedure for individuals to speak on individual items.
Chairman Downing stated that the commission would be concerned with the
"how"of the items,not if it should be done.The Planning Commission does
not have control over if it is done;but is fulfilling ordinance requirements as
dictated by the City Board.He added that citizen communication is for the
discussion of the propriety
Questions about procedure followed.
Stacey Pectol asked a question as to her particular item and the citizen
communication section.
Suzanne Bradshaw stated that the address should be changed on her item.
Staff noted the change.
Chairman Downing stated that if you are the property owner,it is not
necessary to fill out the speaker card for your item.
Ken Simpson asked if it was possible to speak on another person's item.
Chairman Downing stated that it was permitted,but a card would need to be
filled out for that.
J.Weaver,co-chairman of the Citizens Concerned for Property Rights spoke
in opposition to the proposed action.He stated that his organization had 500
members.He was opposed to the city's extraterritorial jurisdictional controls
and stated that ninety-nine percent of property owners were opposed.He
stated that if an action in the city had ninety nine percent of the voters against
it,it would not be passed.However,the residents in the area cannot vote in
city elections and claims that the citizens of the area are disregarded and
disenfranchised.He further claimed that the state law was unconstitutional.
He wants property owners to have the right to vote and have representation.
He stated that he did not have personal ax to grind,but stood on principle.He
also wants a moratorium on the westward expansion.He continued to talk
about infrastructure in the area.He stated that he has studied the law
carefully and that it is tied to cities on navigable streams,and creeks of special
interests.His committee is sworn to fight and overturn that state law.
Amanda Moore,of 4810 Ferndale Cutoff,spoke that she was opposed to
items 1,2,and 3 on the agenda.She stated that she moved out to Ferndale
to invest in property and does not want city controls.She stated that with the
threat of possible annexation,it is impossible to maintain her property.She
continued that most developments have bills of assurances and covenants.
The area farms have done well without zoning laws.She continued that the
property values have increased without city controls.She stated that she does
not understand why the city wants to extend the extraterritorial jurisdiction and
claimed that she did not receive a notice.
Mr.Phillip Baldwin spoke that he addressed the planning commission six
years ago when there was a consideration to straighten several winding
county roads.As a planner and architect,he thought the plan was ill
conceived.He stated that the current plan was baffling.Mr.Baldwin continued
to compare the proposed city park on Garrison Road with Central park in New
York City.He is in opposition to the city park located on Garrison Road and
said that it does not revitalize the city.He next addressed traffic concerns.He
stated that parks should be located where the people are and if there is no
land available where the people are,you should not correct one bad decision
with another.He continued to speak of sprawl.Mr.Baldwin stated that
purchasing the park was a mistake.He stated that the plan would not work
and advised that the land should go back to Deltic Timber and stop letting the
"tail wag the dog".He continued to state the city is wreaking the western area.

PROPOSAL /REQUEST:
The proposal is to establish the Master Street Plan in the area between the Planning
Boundary described by the City of Little Rock Ordinance ¹18,488 and the previous
Planning Boundary described in Ordinances 15,443 and 16,937.
The proposed streets and their classifications are as listed below.
~Ferndale Cutoff Road (West Beltway)from State Highway 10 to Denny Road to
be a Principal Arterial;
~Ferndale Cutoff Road from Denny Road to Kanis Road to be a Minor Arterial;
~Garrison Road from previous Planning Boundary to Ferndale Cutoff Road to be a
Minor Arterial with reduced design standards;
~Denny Road from the previous Planning Boundary to Ferndale Cutoff to be a
Minor Arterial;
~Proposed West Beltway from the Ferndale Cutoff and Denny intersection to the
Pine Circle and Faulkner Road intersection including Walnut Grove Road and
Faulkner Road to be a Principal Arterial;
~Kanis Road from the previous Planning Boundary to the Burlingame Road
intersection to be a Minor Arterial with reduced design standards;
~Kanis Road from Burlingame Road west to Ferndale Cutoff Road be to a
Principal Arterial;
~Burlingame Road from the previous Planning Boundary to Kanis Road to be a
Principal Arterial;
~Colonel Glenn Road from the previous Planning Boundary to the new Planning
Boundary to be a Minor Arterial;
~Lawson Road from the previous Planning Boundary to the new Planning
Boundary to be a Minor Arterial;
~Beauchamp Road from Colonel Glenn Road to Lawson Road to be a Minor
Arterial with reduced design standards;
~Marsh Road from the previous Planning Boundary to Lawson Road to be a Minor
Arterial;
~Marsh Road Extension from Lawson Road southward to West Beltway to be a
Minor Arterial;
April 25,2002
ITEM NO.:1 Cont.FILE NO.:MSP-02-01
~Reynard Road from Beauchamp Road to Lawson Road to be a Collector;
~Joanwood Street and Extension from Lawson Road to Marsh Extension to be a
Collector;
~All other public roads will be shown as Local Streets.
ANALYS IS:
The primary function of Principal Arterials is to serve through traffic into and out of the
urban area.They connect major traffic generators or activity centers within a planning
area.These arterials are usually spaced three or more miles apart with a right-of-way of
110 feet.The Principal Arterials in the planning area are the West Beltway (Ferndale
Cutoff north of Denny Road,Walnut Grove,Faulkner Road and connecting proposed
segments)and Burlingame Road/Kanis Road west of Burlingame Road.Both of these
roads (proposed roads)are continuations of principal arterials.The West Beltway
provides north-south movement and the Burlingame/Kanis provides east west
movement.Both roads also fulfill the function of principal arterials of traffic movement
through the area.
Minor Arterials provide the connections to and through the planning area.Their primary
function is to provide short distance travel within and around the planning area.
Generally,these roads are spaced at one-mile intervals and have a right-of-way of 90
feet.Since a Minor Arterial typically is a high volume road,a minimum of four travel
lanes is required.The Minor Arterials in the planning area are Garrison Road,Ferndale
Cutoff south of Denny Road,Denny Road,Kanis Road east of Burlingame Road,Col.
Glenn Road,Beauchamp Road,Lawson Road,Marsh Road,and its'outh extension.
Garrison,Denny,Kanis,Lawson,Col.Glenn and Marsh Roads were all minor arterials
for that portion previously within the City's jurisdiction.This makes the remainder of
these roads the same classification with the same design standard.Beauchamp and
Ferndale Cutoff road (south of Denny)are added to continue this arterial network to the
west.These roads when included together provide a network to move traffic around
and through the area.
A reduced density of development is projected for this area.This is in part due to the
existing development pattern in the north areas.The pattern is for large lot residential-
estate lots.Many of these homes are already in place using septic systems.The low
density of development is not one that makes development of a sewer system likely;
therefore,the remaining areas are likely to also be developed at a similar density.The
function for the arterial system is still needed;to move vehicles around and through the
area.However,the lower density reduces the need for as many lanes.In addition,the
larger tract development should produce fewer curb cuts along the arterials.Taking all
this into consideration a reduced design section is proposed on selected streets.By not
reducing the right-of-way,the public sector maintains the ability to widen the roads if
development were to become more dense.Reduced standards are proposed for
Beauchamp Road,Garrison Road,and Kanis west to the Burlingame Road intersection.

A Collector street is the traffic connection from residential streets to arterials or to
activity centers,with secondary function of providing access to adjoining property.The
Collector system should not be continuous,but should direct traffic to arterials.Right of
way for Collectors is 60 feet.This class of road is generally at a spacing of a quarter to
half mile.Collectors in this area are Reynard Road,Joanwood Road and it's southwest
extension.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
The existing circulation system proposed by the Master Street System should serve the
western part of Little Rock well.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:(APRIL 25,2002)
Brian Minyard,of Planning Staff made a presentation of the item denoting each street's
proposed design and functional classification.Definitions of each classification of street
were also given to the audience.It was noted that no right-of-way dedication was
requested at this time.
Commissioner Downing reminded speakers that they were to address issues pertaining
to the Master Street Plan.
Phillip Baldwin stated that "it is the tail wagging the dog".Commissioner Downing asked
which street in particular that he was referencing.Mr.Baldwin spoke of Garrison Road
being a loop,hilly and curvy.He stated that the park should be located in another
location.Commissioner Downing asked what was wrong with the classification of
Garrison Road.Mr.Baldwin stated that reclassifying as such does not justify a
population that is likely to occur unless the road is widened and straightened.Mr.
Baldwin stated that he did not believe that usage in the future would not justify the
classification.
Mr.Lawson pointed out that the Master Street Plan is set up for future expansion —when
and if the area is developed.If the area does not develop,then the process to widen
the roadway is not there.The process is being developed and will be in place so that
some areas will not be land locked and that some roads will not be carrying more traffic
than they should.Mr.Baldwin stated that was a valid argument unless you exclude the
existence of the park.Commissioner Downing stated that the topic is Garrison Road
and not the purchase of the park on Garrison Road.Mr.Baldwin stated that the
classification of Garrison Road as well as Ferndale Cutoff,Kanis and Burlingame was
tied to the purchase of the park.Mr.Baldwin agreed that if the park is built that the
roadways will have more usage.He continued that he was not familiar enough with the
other areas to comment on other roadways.
Commissioner Downing restated that speakers will speak on Master Street Plan issues
only.

J.L.Weaver spoke that he was familiar with all of the roads in the area.Commissioner
Downing stated that he wanted Mr.Weaver not to speak about all of the roads,but one
road in particular at a time.Mr.Weaver starting naming streets upon which he would
speak,starting with Col.Glenn.Commissioner Downing stated that Mr.Weaver was to
speak about Col.Glenn that is a proposed minor arterial.He asked Mr.Weaver why
Colonel Glenn should or should not be a minor arterial.Mr.Weaver stated he was
against any change until there was a clearly defined criterion in place for the acquiring
right-of-way.Commissioner Downing stated that he appreciated his point but the point
had already been made.Commissioner Downing continued that Mr.Weaver would be
ruled out of order unless he wanted to speak about a specific road and the issue in front
of the Commission right now.Mr.Weaver asked if he would be allowed to address all
of the roads.Commissioner Downing said no.After discussion,Commissioner
Downing ruled Mr.Weaver out of order.Mr.Weaver acknowledged that he was out of
order and left the room.
Commissioner Downing stated that the Commission would accept comments on specific
roads from people in the audience.
Mrs.B.J.Barnett asked a question about a map that was on the back of the mailing of
January 8,2002.The map,in which she was referring,did not have street names on it.
She was thinking that the map was the Master Street Plan and the misconception was
eliminated.
Amanda Moore requested maps for the items.
Ken Simpson asked about the extension of Joanwood Lane.Mr.Minyard explained the
extension of Joanwood Lane and Marsh Road and the process of the improvements to
the roadway that are subject of rezoning or subdivision.Examples of collectors were
given to Mr.Simpson and discussion followed.Commissioner Floyd added that a lot of
roads are on the Master Street Plan that were classified as such twenty years ago that
are still two lane with open ditches.
A motion was made to approve the Master Street Plan with staff comments.The motion
was approved with a vote of 8 ayes,0 noes and 3 absent.

PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS:
This proposal is to establish the Land Use Plan in the area between the Planning
Boundary described by the City of Little Rock's Board of Directors'rdinance ¹18,488
and the previous Planning Boundary described in Ordinance ¹15,443.
The Land Use Plan is intended to serve as a guide for zoning and other land use
decisions.It is to provide a reasonable prediction of the future arrangement of land use,
given various factors impacting the use of land.It is a general blueprint of how the area
will develop,but need not be the final ultimate land use pattern.It is the pattern
expected in the mid-term,which is an appropriate action at this time.The proposed
Land Use Plan pattern is flexible and may change over time.In order to maintain
its'sefulnessandtoberesponsivetochangingconditionsandcommunitygoals,
adjustment to the plan may be necessary.The plan represents a reflection of a wide
variety of considerations that influence the use of land.These include the existing land
use pattern,current and proposed zoning,existing street pattern,the Master Street
Plan,and environmental characteristics.
The majority of the area (about 70'/o)is to shown as Single Family residential.This
category provides for single-family homes,one dwelling unit per lot,at densities not to
exceed six dwelling units per acre.Such residential development is typically
characterized by conventional single family homes,but may also include patio or garden
homes and cluster homes,provided that the density remain less than 6 units per acre.
The majority of the area is currently developed as large lot (5 plus acre tracts or estate
lot)single-family homes.This pattern is well established.After review of the
development pattern immediately surrounding the city limits,Single Family appears to
be the best use for much of the area.
All other land use plan categories will be described as to location.Those areas not
described below,will be shown as Single Family on the Land Use Plan.

Park/Open Space (PK/OS)is shown along all creeks and rivers in the area:Nowlin
Creek,Kinley Creek,Little Maumelle River,and Fletcher Creek.This category includes
public parks,recreational facilities,greenbelts,floodplains and other designated open
space and recreational land.In the county,PK/OS is shown for the flood plains of the
creeks,which is wider than the actual floodway.The only non-flood plain area shown
as PK/OS is the city park to be located on Garrison Road.PK/OS accounts for
approximately ten percent of all land in the area.
Agriculture and Forestry (AF)is shown in five areas in the plan area.The first three
areas comprise a three-pronged area originating at the intersection of the Little
Maumelle River and Ferndale Cutoff Road and is the largest concentration of AF in the
area.These three areas are more particularly described as:
1)Both sides of Studer Road from the Little Maumelle River west to Ridgefield
Road.
2)The south side of Ferndale Cutoff Road from the Little Maumelle River
southwesterly towards Ferndale between the road and the river.
3)Both sides of Fletcher Creek between the West Beltway and the Little
Maumelle River.
The remaining two areas are:
4)The north side of Burlingame east of Walnut Grove Road.
5)The north side of Col.Glen Road at the Faulkner Road intersection.
It is the intent of this category to recognize the existing use of the land and acknowledge
the continuation of agricultural uses is the most probable short and mid-term use of the
land.The agricultural classification is also designed to provide a transition between
rural areas and the urban fringe,where it would be appropriate to preserve existing rural
land use,prior to annexation into the city.Agricultural Forestry accounts for
approximately nine percent of the land.
Public Institutional (Pl)is shown in two areas.The first area,at Lake Maumelle,is for
the watershed of the lake.This is the vast majority of land shown as Pl.The second
area shown as Pl is for the Youth Home development on Col.Glen Road.Together,
they comprise over seven percent of the total land area.The Public Institutional
category includes public and quasi-public facilities that provide a variety of services to
the community such as schools,libraries,fire stations,churches,utility substations,and
hospitals.The lake watershed is a community facility that is the water source for the
City.Youth Home is a medical related use that fits with the hospital use within Public
Institutional.
The remaining categories:Low Density Residential,Commercial,Neighborhood
Commercial,and Mixed Commercial Industrial comprise the remainder of the area and
are listed in decreasing size order.

Low Density Residential,accommodates a broad range of housing types including
single-family attached,single-family detached,duplex,town-homes,multi-family and
patio or garden homes.Any combination of these and possibly other housing types
may fall in this category provided that the density is between six and ten dwelling units
per acre.Low Density Residential is shown in the following five areas:
1)On both sides of Highway 10 between Ferndale Cutoff and Barrett Roads.This
area is along an arterial and should have access to both sewer and water in the
foreseeable future.It also serves as a buffer from Commercial to Single Family
uses.
2)Land west of Ferndale Cutoff Road and east of the Maumelle River north of the
Denny Road intersection.This area is along an arterial and bounded by a large
floodplain.With the restrictions on development due to these conditions,an
increase in density appears appropriate.
3)On the north side of Kanis Road west of the Live Oaks Subdivision and east of
the Commercial area shown in Ferndale.This area is proposed as a transition
between the Commercial of Ferndale and the large lot single-family of Live Oaks
Subdivision.
4)Land on east side of Marsh Road north of Lawson Road and north of the
Commercial area to be described later.This area is proposed as a transition
between the Commercial and Single Family areas.
5)Land on the east side of Marsh Road north of Joanwood Drive Extension.This
area is proposed as a transition between the heavy intensity of the Mixed
Commercial Industrial and the low intensity of the Single Family use to the south.
The Commercial category includes a broad range of retail and wholesale sales of
products,personal and professional services,and general business activities.
Commercial activities vary in type and scale,depending on the trade area that they
serve.Commercial is shown at the following four locations:
1)On both sides of Highway 10 east of Barrett Road.This is the intersection of an
Arterial and Collector,which meets the node principal used by the City for
commercial locations.It also has established commercial businesses.The
proposed commercial area expands the existing commercial use area at this
location.
2)On all four corners of the intersection of Kanis Road and Ferndale Cutoff Road
bounded by the PK/OS for the Maumelle River and the LDR on the north side of
Kanis west of the Live Oaks Subdivision.This is an arterial-arterial intersection,

meeting the node principal used by the City.It is already a significant business
center of the area.The proposal is to expand the business area of Ferndale.
3)At the northeast corner of Beauchamp Road and Lawson Road.This is an
arterial-arterial intersection,meeting the node principal used by the City.There
are existing businesses in this location and the proposal is to expand the
commercial use area.
4)On the north side of Lawson Road east of Marsh Road.This is an arterial-
arterial intersection,meeting the node principal used by the City.There are
existing businesses in this location and the proposal is to expand the commercial
use area.
Neighborhood Commercial is shown in five areas.In contrast to the Commercial areas,
some of these areas have existing commercial activity in them,some area vacant land.
The strategy was to place these Neighborhood Commercial nodes throughout the area
at intersections of or along arterials.The Neighborhood Commercial category includes
limited small-scale commercial development in close proximity to a neighborhood,
providing goods and services to that neighborhood market area.The four areas shown
are:
1)The intersection of Goodson Road and Highway 10.This is the intersection of an
arterial and collector.There are existing businesses at this location,which serve
the area.
2)The northeast corner of Denny Road and Ferndale Road.This is the intersection
of an arterial and arterial.The location is about half way between two
commercial areas and allows for future growth needs as the proposed single
family and low density residential develops.
3)The westerly corner of Walnut Grove and Kanis Roads,which provides for future
growth.This is the intersection of an arterial and arterial.The location is
between two commercial areas and allows for future growth needs as the single
family residential develops.
4)The southeast corner of Colonel Glenn and Faulkner Roads.This is the
intersection of an arterial and arterial.The location recognizes an existing
business and allows for expansion as additional residential develops in the area.
5)All corners of the intersection of Beauchamp and Col.Glenn Roads.This is the
intersection of an arterial and arterial.The location provides for future growth.
Mixed Commercial Industrial is shown in one location in the area —on the south side of
Lawson Road east of Marsh Road.This category provides for a mixture of commercial
and industrial uses to occur.Acceptable uses are office or mixed office and

commercial.A Planned Zoning District is required if the use is mixed office and
commercial.There are existing intense commercial uses in this location.
This Land Use Plan should serve the area for the mid range.There have been areas
incorporated for non-residential growth (i.e.:commercial)and for alternate forms of
residential growth as shown with the LDR.With the presence of the five-acre
subdivisions in much of the area,the estate residential use is already well entrenched in
the area.The existing conditions in much of the area should control the density of future
development.With large areas already in 'estate'esidential makes sewer service to
the area less favorable.This in turn makes a dense development pattern less likely for
the planning area.Thus,a more conservative land use plan,as has been presented.
should serve the area adequately well for the next ten to fifteen years.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff believes the proposed Land Use Plan is appropriate.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:(APRIL 25 2002)
Brian Minyard,Planning Staff,made a presentation of the proposed areas including
definitions of each classification as the presentation proceeded.He continued that
there was room for expansion in the proposed commercial nodes and that a
conservative approach had been taken in the planning process.
Commissioner Floyd asked why the MCI —Mixed Commercial Industrial was shown on
Lawson Road.Staff replied that it recognized existing conditions in the area and
explained the definition of MCI.
Commissioner Berry asked what percentage of the Future Land Use Plan recognized
existing conditions.Mr.Minyard stated that the majority of the area,well in excess of 70
percent,recognized existing uses.
Mr.Phillip Baldwin expressed concerns about the roadways in the area.He stated that
the proposed city park was in the wrong area.He continued that the reasoning was to
take the park into the city and questioned what effect the city park will have on the area.
James Watson stated that he was opposed to the rezoning on Reynard Road.
Chairman Downing stated that the item was the Future Land Use Plan,not zoning It
was determined that the item he was speaking about was item 3.27 which would be
heard later and he could speak on it at that time.

On April 17,2001 the Board of Directors of the City of Little Rock approved a resolution
expressing 'an intent'o zone the areas included in this item.Little Rock has used this
process in the past:1)to announce the intent to zone,2)begin work of reviewing the
area for the Land Use Plan,3)development of a Land Use Plan for the area,4)the
holding of meetings in the area to allow residents and property owners the chance to
suggest changes to the Land Use Plan,5)to tell residents and property owners what
the city needs in order to zone property other than single family,6)to review the plan for
changes requested,7)to take requests for non-single family zoning,8)to develop a
package of land use and zoning items for the Planning Commission to review,9)hold a
public hearing before the Planning Commission to hear the items,and finally 10)to hold
a public hearing before the Board of Directors to hear the items.We are now at step
nine in this process after a year of work and meetings.Three times in 1990,1991 and
1999 this process has been used to initiate zoning in areas beyond the city limits.
The City implements zoning in areas within the Planning Area of the City in an attempt
to assure that any development which does occur prior to annexation is orderly and
minimizes future costs to the taxpayers of the City.For the owners in the area,zoning
allows them more security in knowing what may happen next door and a chance to
voice their concerns about the impacts of any future development.It is important to
note that the actions of the City do not require that an existing establishment cease to
operate,even if the neighbors might wish it to stop.All existing uses that may not be
zoned 'appropriately'or the current use are 'grand-fathered in'become legally non-
conforming uses).Many existing businesses have requested a non-residential
classification and are listed later in this item for consideration of commercial or some
other classification.
The process used for this item was outlined in the first paragraph.Last spring after the
Board of Directors approved an 'intent'o zone resolution,planning staff began pulling
information on the area together.Existing conditions were documented,as were
physical constraints to future development.A Land Use Plan was developed and
contacts were made with county officials and leaders in the community to get initial
reactions and suggestions.Property owners were identified and invited to meetings in
the area.Information was provided on what was needed if a non-residential zone
classification was desired and comments were received on the Land Use Plan.

ITEM 3.1 This section deals with the zoning of land owned by the City of Little Rock's
Park and Recreation department designated and designed as a park on the City Master
Parks Plan.The Parks Plan designs a large community park within the area.As
required by the City zoning ordinance,any land owned by the City and proposed for
park development in the plan is appropriate for zoning to Park and Recreation (PR).

ITEM 3.2 This section concerns the Central Arkansas Water property that includes
Lake Maumelle and the office/plant facilities on Highway 300.(This is a small fraction of
their ownership in the area.)The zoning request for their land is OS,Open Space.This
area is basically wooded and is the watershed area for Lake Maumelle.It is the goal of
Central Arkansas Water to protect this water source by strictly controlling development
within the watershed.To this end,the OS classification is best designed to protect the
watershed,it allows very few types of development.The Water Utilities goal of keeping
urban development out of the watershed is consistent with the OS zoning.They have
requested a CUP,Conditional Use Permit,for their facilities (plant,residence,intake
valves,etc).The Open Space classification allows for utility within the district with a
Conditional Use Permit.The functions requested are existing and necessary of the
function of the lake as the water source for Little Rock.

parcels to another zoning category.A motion was made to approve the R2 and AF
initial zoning of the area.The motion was approved (8 for,0 against,3 absent).

The Commission next took up item 3.8 (Z-7187-G,Ferndale Grocery located at 2504
Ferndale Cutoff Road).Mr.Minyard made a brief presentation concerning Staff support
of C-3 CUP instead of the C-4 as requested by applicant.It was discussed with the
owner that the replacement of older style gas pumps with new style pumps would be a
maintenance item.A storage area in the car wash is used for storage of feed that is
sold.The applicant had left earlier in the meeting and was not available for comment.
A motion was made to defer this item to the May 23,2002 agenda.Staff made the
comment that Staff was supportive of C-3 zoning in the Ferndale,but not C-4.There
was discussion as to whether to zone it,or defer it.There was also a discussion of
whether the City was the applicant or the owner was the applicant.Jim Lawson,
Planning Director,stated that Staff had worked with her on her request,but Staff was
the applicant and she had worked through us.There was no filing fees paid by the

The next item discussed by the Commission was item 3.13 (Z-7200-C,Kenny's Auto
Sales 8 Parts located at 18305 Lawson Road).Mr.Minyard made a presentation that
the proposed PCD included all C-4 uses,auto salvage yard,barber/beauty shop and
tanning salon.Mr.Minyard continued that the item had been amended since the Staff
report had been printed.The changes are 1)to remove the proposed building on the
west property line.This would result in three buildings total with one proposed on the
east.2)To leave a 15'uffer undisturbed on the side and rear property lines,except on
the west side from the back of the existing building to the front property line,which is a
driveway and vehicular storage area for auto sales.The existing trees in the 15'uffer
areas will not be cut,and any volunteer trees that sprouts will be allowed to grow.3)No
cars or other storage of any kind will be allowed in the 15'uffer.4)The existing opaque
metal fence along the east portion of the front property line will be removed with the
addition of the new building to the east.
Staff noted that upon inspection of the property,there is a use of racecar
repair/fabrication,which is a C-4 use,which is already included in the PCD application.
Mr.Kenny Loux,owner of Kenny's Auto Salvage,approached the podium and
confirmed that the changes stated were correct.Mr.Loux stated plans of future
expansion.Commissioner Rector asked Staff if there recommendation had changed
with the changes to the application.Staff stated support of the application with the

ITEM NO.:3 Cont.FILE NO.:Z-7164
George Heineman spoke in concern of the 15'uffer and desired more buffer width.He
also discussed the mosquito problem in the area.There was a question by
Commissioner Rector as to the depth of the existing buffers.Mr.Heineman asked how
high the cars could be stacked.Mr.Giles,City Attorney Staff,stated that under salvage
yard ordinance states that the maximum height for storage is 15'.
Mr.Kenneth Simpson spoke in concern to buffers and excavation of land for the new
building could create water problems on his property.A six-foot fence will not screen
his property from the views of cars.Photos were handed to the commissioners.Mr.
Simpson continued to discuss the views into the salvage yard.He asked what would
happen with the existing cars with the additional buildings.Mr.Loux responded that
there would be fewer cars if they warehouse parts in the buildings.There would be
fewer cars on the lot.Mr.Simpson stated issues about tire storage in the buffer areas
and the health hazard.Commissioner Floyd discussed the drainage onto other people'
property.Mr.Simpson spoke about running of auto racing cars after hours.Mr.Loux

amendments made by the owner.The motion was approved with a vote of 8 ayes,0

C-4 zoning.Mr.Lawson added that Staff would support a PCD for the existing use of
upholstery shop.The applicant stated that she was planning to move eventually and
hire employees.She had started a lean-to on the metal building and wants to enclose
the lean-to.Staff would support the PCD for existing uses that would include the
enclosure of the lean-to on the metal building.A motion was made to approve the
application as a PCD with all Staff recommendations.The motion was approved with a
vote of 8 ayes,0 noes and 3 absent.
The Commission proceeded to item 3.17 (Z-7187-1,Located at 26810 Kanis Road).
Brian Minyard made a presentation to the Commission.Staff does not support C-4,but
would support C-3.The owner,Lech Matuszewski,stated that lot one is in the
extraterritorial area,and that the zoning on lot one would affect lot two.He distributed a
map to the commissioners.He stated that C-4 would reflect the businesses on the
opposite side of the road.Then Matuszewski described the surrounding uses and the
type of zoning each would fit within,as he understood.
Mr.Lawson stated that Staff is comfortable with C-3 and that C-4 is inconsistent.Mr.
Matuszewski stated that the industrial uses on two sides of his property makes it
suitable for C-4.Commissioner Downing asked Staff what the gas storage tank would
be.Mr.Lawson stated that anytime extraterritorial zoning is extended,there would be
non-conforming uses.Staff is recommending C-3 since he does live next to those uses.
Commissioner Floyd and Mr.Matuszewski enter into a conversation on the differences
of C-4 and C-3.Commissioner Rahman stated his preference for C-3.A motion was
12

The Commission proceeded to ITEM 3.19 and item 3.20 (Z-7195-E,East side of
Beauchamp Road and Z-7195-F,West side of Beauchamp Road respectively).Since
the properties are owned by the same person and are adjacent,they were read and
discussed at the same time.Brian Minyard made a presentation to the commission.He
continued that the graphics were incorrect.The property should be the same size,but
directly south of the area shown.Beauchamp Road bisects the property on the western
edge.He also continued that the Future Land Use Plan shows Neighborhood
Commercial and Staff would support C-1 for this property.Mr.Greg Brewer,owner of
the property stated that he would like to have C-4 for a farm store to sell small tractors,
etc.which is a future plan.He continued about the need for this type of business in the
area.Commissioner Rector suggested if there were concrete plans for a farm supply
store in a planned development,there might be support for this zoning.A motion was
made to approve Z-7195-E as C-1 as Staff recommended.The motion was approved
with a vote of 7 ayes,1 no and 3 absent.A motion was made to approve Z-7195-F as
C-1 as Staff recommended.The motion was approved with a vote of 7 ayes,1 no and 3

business was low impact with no signage.Tom Frothingham stated that they were
willing to exclude any other commercial use.They desire studio use and limited
commercial sales.Mr.Lawson stated that there were reservations about C-1 zoning
versus PCD.The owner explained limited retail sales was an invitation only event for
sale of pottery.They also stated that they might want to expand their building in the
future.Commissioner Floyd asked about the location.Commissioner Rahman
discussed the expansion with the applicant.The owner stated the current studio is 900
square feet and they may want to expand 40%.A motion was made to defer to the May
23,2002 agenda and was approved with a vote of 8 ayes,0 noes and 3 absent.
The Commission next considered item 3.22 (Z-7170-H,24708 Pleasant Grove Road).
A presentation was made by Brian Minyard,of Staff.The owner,Nancy Gunn Porter,
had stated on the phone that she would be amenable to amending her application to
PCD.Mr.Porter stated that they had been operating "Twigs'he gift shop for 5 or so
years.The owner was concerned about expansion in the future and not wanting to
reappear in front of the Planning Commission again.Mr.Lawson suggested that they
draw up plans as to their expansion,and come back to the commission.The owner
expressed his desire to defer to the May 23,2002 agenda,A motion was made to defer
and was approved with a vote of 8 ayes,0 noes and 3 absent.

years and did not have a lot more years to operate.She continued that the area will
build up as retirees die off and sell their property.She wants to continue the business
and care for their 50 year-old son that requires their care.Commissioner Downing
asked how many cars were on the site.Mr.Barnett stated that it varies,with a max of
35.Commissioner Downing stated that they were not trying to put him out of business,
but they would also consider what Mrs.Barnett had stated earlier of the potential use of
the property after they do not own it.Mr.Barnett commented that with an arterial road,
the chances are that all the property will become commercial along the road.
Commissioner Downing wanted to know what Mr.Barnett wanted the Commission to
consider;the use presently,or the use in ten years.Mr.Barnett stated that he was
requesting for now and in the future.Commissioner Downing stated the surrounding
area would be considered in his zoning request.He continued to ask Staff what could
be done concerning their business.Mr.Lawson outlined the non-conforming status and
that Planning Staff would work with Mr.Giles,to document their existing uses.Mr.
Lawson continued that this location was not at an intersection.Commissioner Rector
asked about rebuilding possibilities if a tornado hit the area.Mr.Lawson stated that in
the past,the Mayor has made a proclamation that allowed for rebuilding due to
tornadoes,etc.Mr.Barnett asked about remodeling his buildings and improving them.
Staff replied that he could remodel,but not expand his buildings.Mr.Barnett
commented about the possibility of passing his business to his grandson with a non-
conforming status.Commissioner Rector stated that it had to be closed for more than
12 months to no longer be non-conforming.Mr.Lawson stated that it would require
moving all stock and trade out to lose the non-conforming status.He continued that you
could sell a non-conforming business to another person.Mr.Barnett asked if he could
expand the storage area for his vehicles in the rear of his property.Staff confirmed with
themselves and stated that Staff would need to document existing uses.Mr.Lawson
stated that he could not buy additional property to use as storage for cars.
Commissioner Downing stated concerns of zoning C-4 for the future uses.Mr.Barnett
stated that in 20 years when every other property in the area was zoned commercial
and his was not,that he would be losing value on his property.Commissioner Downing
replied that if that was the case,those factors would be taken into account in that
rezoning application and as of right now,the facts are not there to support C-4.A
motion was made to approve the zoning as C-4.The motion failed with a vote of 2
ayes,6 noes and 3 absent.
The next item considered by the Commission was item 3.24 (Z-7186-A,Located at 2125
Lambert Road).Mr.Minyard made a presentation to the commission.The question
was asked of Staff what the difference was in this application and the last.Mr.Minyard
stated that this was on a residential street,not an arterial,this was not a salvage yard
and car sales,this was just car sales.Stacy Pectol,owner,stated that her husband
was the sole employee of Dale Pectol Auto Sales.She stated that this business is the
sole support of the family,and purchased the property to be in compliance with state
regulations.She continued that she would like to be zoned for that use in case state
requirements changed and she would no longer be in compliance with state
requirements.Mr.Minyard,of Staff,recommended that they may wish to defer to May
23 and convert to a PCD and provide the accompanying sketches.She stated that
they do not currently have cars displayed on the property and hope never to do so.
