3. Hollingsworth declared the public hearing open to consider
Zoning Petition Z-80 for John Porter. Mr. Bud Hauptman
represented Mr. Porter on the petition. Mr. Hauptman stated
and illustrated by use of a plat map the two lots which he was
requesting to be rezoned from R-1 (Single Family) to R-2 (Two
Family) .
Kincaid requested to know if there were any plans for a privacy
fence. Mr. Hauptman stated no, but there was an existing cyclone
fence which belonged to the adjoining property owners.
Mr. Hauptman explained there would be rear entrances to the
proposed duplexes, an alley easement.
Waide asked about the volume, and page information which Hauptman
explained.
Discussion.
Evon Harvey stated she was opposed to the petition unless a
privacy fence was constructed. Discussion. Public hearing w~s
closed.
Motion was made by Georgia Royal to approve the zoning change
from R-1 (Single Family) to R-2 (Two Family) on part of Tract 11,
AB. 1241, H. Tierwester, Sheet 5. for John Porter. Tommy Kincaid
gave the second. Voting for were: Royal, Kincaid, and Hollin~sworth.
Voting against was Waide. Motion carried 3-1. (NOTE: to clarify
the exact property being rezoned -Lots 1 & 2, Block A, Sanger
Exchange West, Section I which is Part of Track 11, AB. 1241, H.
Tierwester Survey in the zoning request.)
4. Mr. Bud Hauptman represented Mr. Porter on the submission of
his final plat on Sanger Exchange West subdivision. Hauptman
explained to Planning and Zoning what the city council had
requested on the final plat. (1) Council requested that a
2" water line instead of al" serve only the subdivided area,
(2) that a culdesac be incorporated on the west end of Exchange
Drive, and (3) that the plat comply with all requirements of

the city ordinances. Hauptman stated that he felt the plat
did comply with the city ordinances and the 2" line would be
shown on the construction plans. The only change being the
dimension of the Boulevard entrance street which was widened
from 60-65' to 70-75'. Mr. Porter wanted the street width
changed to allow two lanes in and out of the area, with a
14' medium to be used for plants etc. The engineers felt the
culdesac was not practicable since Exchange Drive was wide enough
to accommodate turning around except for emergency vehicles
and they could cross curbs and have plenty of room for turning
around in the adjoining field. Hauptman explained that the
West end on Exchange Drive could in the future be opened and
extended if the adjoining property was developed. It is fenced
at the present since Mr. Porter has livestock and horses in the
area.
Mr. Hauptman stated that Porter would comply with whatever the
Board and council decided but because of the space to the north
available for turn around would prefer consideration not to put
the culdesac on the west end.
Commissioners asked Mayor Armstrong her feelings regarding this.
She stated that the subdivision ordinance called for no dead end
streets but that she had talked to the city engineer and because
Exchange Drive is such a short street he felt a turnaround area
would be o.k. This could be done as long as the property
adjacent remains the same and it could be stipulated that no
building permits would be issued. Discussion.
Motion was made by Tommy Kincaid to accept the final subdivision
plat of the Sanger Exchange West with the placement of the
culdesac to the north--not at the west end of Exchange Drive--
and the culdesac is not required to be paved and guttered,
but should have a hard surface area such as gravel for the
required radius. Georgia Royal gave the second. Voted
unan.
5. Mr. Hauptman represented Craig Snider on the final subdivision
plat of Snider Estates. Snider was involved with a school
board meeting and could not be available. Mr. Hauptman gave
comparisons between the new final plat and the previous final
plat explaining the changes. Building setbacks, easements, and
lot dimensions were discussed.
Motion was made by Joe Waide to accept the Final Plat of the
Snider Estates subdivision with the following changes and
additions: (1) Add a 15' utility easement along the entire
north and west boundary line; (2) add a guy wire easement
between Lots 3 and 4, Block 2 and; (3) eliminate the 5' easement
designation as in thoroughfares.
Georgia Royal gave the second. Voting for were: Royal, Waide,
and Kincaid. Voting against was Hollingsworth stating that she
was voting against because of the 6' setback variance on side
yards approved by council. Motion carried 3-1.

Hollingsworth asked Mr. Hauptman if Snider had given any considera-
tion for a park in the area. Hauptman stated that he had not.
Mayor Armstrong stated that the possibility of a new elementary
school in that area existed and also an owner of a 10 acre tract
of land had shown interested in developing a park in the area.
6. With no other business to come before the commissioners, Georgia
Royal made the motion to adjourn. Tommy Kincaid gave the second.
Voted unan.
