I <br /> Excerpts from the Plan Commission Minutes of May 2,2013 continued: <br /> the Zoning Board of Appeals requesting two (2) small lots if the conceptplan had not been <br /> approved. <br /> Mr. Mark Allen, petitioner, was sworn in by Mrs. Poland. <br /> Mr. Allen said he has improved the South Shores area in the last twelve (12) fifteen (15) years. <br /> They have spent a lot of money installing the wall as a nice barrier between thbusinesses and the <br /> residential area. He would appreciate the Plan Commission's support. <br /> Chairman Livingston asked if this project was part of Mr. Allen's initial plan. IIr. Allen said he did <br /> not remember. They have been toying around with various ideas for this property for some time <br /> now. This development will be similar to Dale's Southlake Pharmacy. <br /> Mr. Dale Colee, Dales' Southlake Pharmacy, was sworn in by Mrs. Poland. <br /> Mr. Colee said once Mr. Allen is finished with this project it will look very nice. This development <br /> is going to be a very positive thing for South Shores. <br /> Mr. John asked for the rationale for staff's recommendation. Ms. Stickle stated the rationale for <br /> denial is that by reducing the lot sizes, you are creating a potential problem in the future. If <br /> something goes wrong and the development does not occur or something goes wrong a few years <br /> from now, and these lots are sold to two (2) different individuals, they could come back and say the <br /> City approved these two (2) small lots and now we cannot meet the Ordnance requirements <br /> because we cannot use the property in a reasonable manner. As planners, this is what we are <br /> supposed to be looking at; what are the possibilities and the ramifications of the$e decisions. <br /> Mr. Billy Tyus was sworn in by Mrs. Poland. <br /> Mr. Tyus stated what could possibly occur, if approved, is that you have created a situation where <br /> you have two (2) lots that may not be buildable at all. As Planners, staff looks at what occurs now <br /> and what could possibly occur in the future. This is a significant reduction in the size of the lots, <br /> not a small reduction. <br /> Mr. Cochran said we cannot be afraid of what is going to happen thirty years from now. This is <br /> economic development. <br /> It was moved and seconded (Myatt/Smith) to forward Calendar No. 13-16 to the City Council with <br /> recommendation for approval as submitted by the petitioner. Motion carried 6-2 with Mr. Steve <br /> John and Mr. Glenn Livingston voting no. <br />
