03/11/1980-PZ-Minutes-RegularMinutes: Planning and Zoning Commission March 11, 1980 Present: Chairman Jack Armstrong, Billye Hollingsworth, Harold Easley, and Jim Frazier Absent: Willard Bounds, Virgil Ward, and Cecil Snellgrove 1. Minutes of the February 12, 1980 meeting were approved as printed. 2. Variance request for Benny Parrent on curb and guttering - City Manager Lloyd Henderson began the discussion on the variance by stating that the City Ordinance more or less leaves the curb and guttering to the discretion of the Commission and Council in this particular instance. Benny Parrent has purchased Lot 3, Block 2, of the Krueger Addition (1st platting) and he is'not considered as a subdivider, simply as the owner of a lot in the subdivision. However, this lot fronts 7th Street and directly across the street curb and gutters does exist. Chairman Armstrong emphasized to Parrent how the curb and guttering would improve the value of his property. Parrent stated money was not the problem. The problem, he felt, was getting someone to construct curb and guttering for a one lot area. Jim Frazier interjected that he wasn't sure the City could require Parrent to put in curb and guttering, but he stated he would like to see it done in front of Parrent's lot. Parrent then stated he would be willing to put down curbs, but not gutters. He would like to use perma-curb, a type of curb which he states other large cities are now using. Photographs and information regarding the lay down curb was distributed for Commissioners reviewing. City Manager Henderson stated he would not be excited about the City maintaining this type of curb. Parrent said he would be willing to give the City $500.00 if they would build the street. That way the City could do the street when they wanted to. The City Manager was not in favor of this idea. Commissioners and staff had different opinions regarding the curbing and guttering because of the wording in the Subdivision Ordinance and John Sullivan's letter regarding internal and external streets. Varied discussion followed. Jim Frazier made the motion that Parrent be required to pave, curb, and gutter that portion of 7th Street which fronts his property and described as Lot 3, Block 2, Krueger Addition (1st platting). Billye Hollingsworth seconded. Voted unanimously. Because lime treatment was not required in the already constructed portion of North 7th Street it was motioned by Frazier that Parrent be granted a variance to exclude the lime treatment in preparing his portion of the Street. The remainder of the Street portion to adhere to the requirements of the subdivision ordinance. Billye Hollingsworth seconded. Voted unanimously. It was motioned by Frazier that Parrent be allowed to use the lay down (surmountable) curb. The remainder of the curb and guttering to follow the subdivision ordinance. Hollingsworth seconded. Voted unanimously. It was agreed by Commissioners when a plat is presented to the City as a subdivision and curb, guttering, streets, etc. are a requirement that any individual or contractor who purchases and builds within the subdivided area, they would be required to comply with the requirements already laid out under the Sub -division Ordinance. 3. Commission appointments were discussed. They are normally for two year periods with an odd -even rotation. Cecil Snellgrove and Virgil Ward have requested to be replaced. Cecil's terms expires in June, 1980 and Virgil's term expires June 1981. Commission recommended -the following names to Council for their consideration. 1. Nelva Higgs 4. Sue Cook 2. Carl Ray Higgs 5. Robert Howard 3. Betty Kincaid 6. John D. Springer Other such matters: (a) Lloyd informed commissioner;of a 30 1-bedroom housing facility that would be built in Sanger soon. It will be located just south of the football field. It is low income housing, will be brick with composition roof, central heating and cooling and will cost approximately $816,121.00. This property is not zoned at this time for multi- family. Lloyd wanted the feelings of the Commission on this. They were favorable should the request come through for a zoning change. (b) W. B. Shirley Addition - Lloyd,informed the commission that Gene Hughes is constructing streets in the Shirley Addition in a manner different than specified by 6ubdivision ordinance. This construction is to be as follows: 6% lime stabilization, 3 1/2" type A base course, and 1 1/2 " type D wearing course. He reported having discussed this with a couple of council members and felt since council and P & Z had approved the construction plans we should let Gene go ahead as planned. P & Z members then called attention to the fact that they had not seen the construction plans but had only approved the plat plans. Lloyd is to check back with councilmen to see if the council had approved construction plans.
