Public Hearing closed at 7:42 p.m. <br /> Amendment to Ordinance 44A <br /> Chair Welk read aloud the public notice, the current ordinance <br /> and the proposed amended ordinance. Mr. March clarified the <br /> reason behind the ordinance amendment which was to eliminate pole <br /> buildings and address wood frame buildings. Essentially, one <br /> building constructed of brick may be worth $800,000 whereas, a <br /> building next to it may be constructed with wood frame material <br /> and worth $200,000. The taxing capacity is different due to the <br /> site and value of the building. <br /> Public Hearing closed at 7:46 p.m. <br /> APPEARANCES <br /> Roger Kolsted - Rezone and Vacate Property South of Main St. <br /> Mr. Kolsted reiterated he had met with the Planning Commission in <br /> March and his request was denied. Currently, Mr. Kolsted is <br /> requesting the Planning Commission to reconsider a bank at Main <br /> Street and Dupre Road. Furthermore, changes have been <br /> implemented to address the citizens' and the Commissions comments <br /> from the last hearing. Foremost, a sidewalk can be constructed <br /> from Dupre Road west to Progress Road, then north to Main Street. <br /> The sidewalk would address school children walking. Mr. Kolsted <br /> commented the property owners are willing to close on the land <br /> and commence building in the spring of 1999. Therefore, he <br /> requested the Planning Commission table the issue instead of <br /> denying the request. <br /> Chair Welk addressed traffic exiting onto Dupre Road. Mr. <br /> Buckbee noted the property is currently zoned R2 (Single Family <br /> Residential) and several new homes have been constructed on the <br /> adjacent property. <br /> Mr. March reiterated the city's position on spot zoning and the <br /> City's requirement to act on rezoning requests. Furthermore, Mr. <br /> March reported the city is in receipt of a 60-day waiver form. <br /> Thus, no action is required from the Planning Commission. <br /> Mr. Jake Shoepe (7084 Dupre Road) stated he was opposed to the <br /> bank construction on the corner to the Eagle Pass Development. <br /> Mr. Shoepe also had concerns regarding the safety of school <br /> children that walk to the elementary school. <br /> Chair Welk noted receipt of a letter drafted by the Hammerick <br /> family.
