PUBLIC HEA.RING - Rezoning Application RZ-8-74 t The hour of 7:30 P.M. having arrived, Mayor Denny opened the � Continued Public Hearing on Rezoning Application RZ-8-74. I The following documents are on file in the office of the City Clerk: � � �1 A.ffidavit of Mailing - Notice of Public Hearing � A.ffidavit of Publication - Notice of Public Hearing Planning Commission Recommendation dated 2/11/76 ( ' The City Clerk advised Couricil that a petitiori signed by 5'1 { residents of the area protesting the rezoning hacl been received . f The area proposed for rezoning was shown on the Vu Graph, and ; is located at 5404 Midway Drive. Planning and Community Develop- iment Director Harris reviewed the recommendation of the Planning � Commission as contained in his memo to Council dated February ' 11, 1976, which memo is made a part of these minutes by reference. ' It is the recommendation of the Commission that the area be rezoned � from "R-3-15" Multiple Family Residential District and ''R-1" to "C-3-F" Heavy Comtnercial and Ligl�Industrial District. Mr. Harris pointed out that the applicant has filed a lot split application detaching the Midway Drive frontage from the interior; therefore, that portion of the parcel fronting on Midway Drive is not included in the recommendation and would rema.in "R-3- 15" . A.ccess to the I proposed rezoned parcel would be from the applicant's property on � Twin View Boulevard. ' � � � � Mr. Harris was questioned by members of Council as to tlie� reason � for the "R-3" zone �overlapping into the "R-1" District. Mr. Harris said he did not have the information with him regarding prior zoning � by the County, but he would presume that the area was zoned "R-3-15" at the request of the owner at that time. Mayor Denny invited testimony from the floor, requesting that such testimony be kept to essential facts as much as possible. � _ . . . A.ttorney Don Kennedy appeared on behaLf of the applicant, Mr. McElwain, the owner-developer of the parcel in question. Mr. � Kennedy stated that his client has abandoned any plan to gain � access to the property from Midway, and has corripromised his initial plans by proposing a lot split and construction of a single ' family residential unit for sale or rent on the portion of the property fronting on Midway: Access to the proposed commer:cial development would be through property that fronts on Twin View � and is owned by the applicant. The applicant proposes a mini warehouse type development, not a storage or junk yard. The warehouse buildings would be of concrete block construction, a.nd aecess' to tHe.uni.ts .would be from the center of the.development. � There would be no activity immediately adjacent to the "R-1" District. This type of use will not cause heavy traffic, even from Twin View. � � . _ _ _.._ _.�.�_`.......__.,�._,.�,.._�-- --- -- -- - -- � 29 Mr. Kennedy further stated that the use contemplated by the � former owner was low-cost housing; however , lending insti- ; tutions were reluctant to loan on that .type of cons�truction at present. Also he pointed out that residential apartment use would increase the adverse impact on the neighborhood with a greater amount of vehicular traffic. . � The applicant, Mr. McElwain, showed blue print drawings of the proposed development illustrating the locations of the warehouse buildings, the concrete block walls which would surround the development, .and the access route from Twin View Boulevard. Mr. Edmundson, a realtor, spoke in favor of the development, stating that commercial zoning would put this parcel to its highest and best use. He spoke of the need for mini warehouses, and commented that the lack of a nearby shopping center would be detrimental to the development of the parcel in low-cost housing. Mr. Jim Cagle, 721 Ridge Road, read the letter of protest signed by 51 residents of the area, then posed the following questions: ' 1. What type of construction will be used for the warehouses? 2. Will the area be black-topped or concrete? 3. What width driveway is proposed, and wher:e would it be � located? � � 4. What would happen if the rezoning were approved and the developer decided not to proceed as planned? He questioned the statement that the best usage is for warehouses . He mentioned that previous permits already granted to the applicant impos ed conditions :with which the applicant still�.ha s -not= complied. , � - .. � ,. -. . _:; . . _ Mr. Kennedg replied to the fir-st-thr.ee questions =as 'follows: � 1. The Plans call for concrete block -- all masonry on the outside, with aluminum roofing. �2. All area not•occupied by buildings would be blacktopped. . � , � � . , , . , : , 3. A 35' driveway is planned, the location was pointed out on the drawings . In reply to question #4, Mr . Harris stated that�the C-3 D'istrict is Heavy Commercial and Light Industrial District. � He read from the Code the types of development permitted in such district. He also pointed out the types of development permitted in the C-3 -Di'strict with a Use Permit. Mr. Harris stated that the "F'' site plan re- view does not specifically restrict the use but is an attempt to orient the type of development to insure its compatab.ility with the , adjoining property. Mr�. Orlando, 5382 Midway Drive, stated that the applicant .has not ..,. ,.. ;complied with the Use Permit issued for the property fronting on Twin View Boulevard, commenting that there was a large pile of rusty poles or beams at the rear of the� property;�and that last summer wooden beams were placed on property adjacent to his home. It is his belief that the storage -of such beams and poles is a hazard�to children in the area. I .. . • - _ _ _. --- _ . 30 � '� � i ' t � � � i � Associate Planner Perry acknowledged that a Use Permit was ; issued in A�pril, 1974, which permitted outside storage subject ; to fencing, and that Mr. McElwain .is in violation of the Use � II Permit,. as .a portion of his perimeter is unfenced. � � Mr. McElwain said that he did put in some fencing after being � � ` told by Mr. Perry that he was in violation. He had verbal per- t � mis�sion from State Tire Service to store the wooden beams, on j their property, which is acljacent to the Orlando property: . He � did not put.izp.the balance of the fencing because it would not be I needed if this rezoning is granted. ' , Mr. Cagle said it is the feeling of the residents in the area that ' if the buffer•zone is not xnaintained, the entire area will go i ' commercial. ' � , Ron Mygrant, 5463 Midway Drive, mentioned that the "R-1" i District to the east of the parcel in question has no access from Midway Drive, and if the proposed rezoning is approved, then i the ne�rt step would be to allow commercial uses in the "R-1" i tr.iangle parcel that borders the Freeway. � I Kurt Reichel said he believes there is access to that parcel at the ; � end of Midway Drive. Mr. Reichel favors the rezoning, pointing � I, out that mini warehouses would be the best investment and the i � highest use of the property. � I H. T. Barnard, who owns property on Twin View Boulevard, also , i favors rezoning. ' The following persons also appeared before Council and stated that i they were against the rezoning for the reasons set forth in the letter � ; of protest: Mr. Ne s s elroad, 827 Riclge Road i Mrs. Flesuras 5434 Midway Drive I� � Cecil Richardson 1872 Twin View Blvd. . , ' Ed Larrnour 730 Ridge Road � � Joan Rose 769 Ridge Road . � Doris Blackburn, 757�Ridge Road MOTION: Made by Coun'cilma.n Pugh, sec.onded by Councilman � ! Anderson that the Public Hearing be closed. The Vote: Unanimous ' i Ayes. , , Councilman Anderson brought out the fact tha.t in many instances, ' , commercial developments exist and residential units are built around them later, and the residents complain about noise, traffic, � dust, etc. Inthis instance, however, the resid.ential area is already , � . d�ev�eloped•:; and-the:.�r,es"iderit�s..b:uilt or bought their homes with the � assurance that there was a "R-3- 15'! buffer zone between them and the cbrrunercial area. He therefore cannot support the proposed ; rezoning.
