was approved on a motion by Willard Bounds. Georgia Royal gave the

3. Zoning Petition Z-51 - Chairman Jack Armstrong opened the public
hearing. Those speaking against the petition were Buddy and Jackie
Echols of 903 Elm Street. Mr. Echols gave as an example the Duplex
on 3rd. When it was new it was a very nice duplex and now trash
and vehicles are everywhere. Echols asked what the Rental on the
apartments would be. Wilson stated he couldn't say for sure until
he was sure of the construction cost, but estimated $300.00 per
month. Mrs. Echols also referenced the Millar apartments to the
east of the building site. They presented pictures to the P & Z
of the trash and debris displayed in that rental area. Also ask
if City could help in getting something done about clearing up the
area. Lloyd stated he had talked with Masten and would make another
effort to get som*ing done. The City Manager explained that the
city has no ordinances with any "teeth" in them, but the city would
put forth an effort to help alleviate some of the problem.
Wilson stated the construction would be Brick with an estimated
one thousand square feet in each apartment unit. The construction
cost is estimated at $55,000. and he is planning to manage the
apartments.
Wilson was ask which way the duplex would be facing (south on Elm
or West on 9th?) and if he had any plans for fencing. He stated
the duplex would face Elm and they do plan to fence. Board if
possible.
Wilson pointed out that a house could be moved in and placed on
this lot that wouldn't be near as nice as the brick duplex.
John Springer felt the duplex would upgrade the area.
It was noted that Vic Groge felt the same as the Echols, but was
unable to attend the hearing.
