COMMISSIONER WARD SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION PASSED 5-0. John Oliver questioned whether there were any other problems with the preliminary plat so that Mr. Smith could go ahead with his lots. John Oliver further indicated that time was very important at the present to Mr. Smith because the building season was so short. The City Administrator indicated to Mr. Oliver that final plat review would have to go first to the Planning Commission and then it would be reviewed by the City Council. After some discussion it was the consensus of the Planning Commission to hold a special meeting for the final plat review at the October 3rd, 1983 City Council meeting. This would be a joint meeting with the City Council and the Planning Commission; If there were not any problems, final approval could be given to Deerfield Acres Octo- ber 3, 1983. Consider Zone Change West of Highway 10 Chairman Tracy indicated that at the last Planning Commission meeting, the Planning Commission reviewed the entire area west 'of the City limits along Highway 10 and they recommended to the City Council a zone change from C-3/Highway Commercial to R-lb/Single Family Residential to be done for a piece of property west of Waco Street and south of Highway 10. Chairman Tracy further indicated that at the September 19 Council meeting, the Council heard from owners of the property who stated that they wanted the property to remain as C-3/Highway Commercial. The Council then recommended that the Planning Commission review this area again. Mr. Lloyd Anderson was present at the meeting and he stated that about three years ago, this piece of property was changed from R-lb to Commercial and now the proposal is to reverse what was done at that time. Mr. Anderson further stated that the prop- erty is on a four-lane highway and that commercial would be appropriate for that area. Mr. Anderson further stated that should the property be zoned R-lb, the max- imum number of homes that could be on the property would be one. Mr. Don Johnson was present at the meeting and indicated that he owned the piece of property in questions and he also indicated that at the time he bought the lot, it was zoned commercial and that he bought it with certain intentions in mind. Mr. Johnson further stated that he had been called by several people who would like to use the property for C-3 and that some of the uses he has been confronted with are roller rinks, used car lots, and garbage operations. Mr. Johnson further indicated that the reason he has not sold the property to any of these, is because he does not want to see this kind of usage in this area. Mr. Johnson further indicated that he would like to see something like a Tom Thumb or a convenience food operation in the area.
