PS 91-14
Request of Josh Davis with J-Mc Oil
Company for Replat of Lot lR and Lot
2, Block 4, J.L. Autrey Addition.
This property is located at the
southwest corner of Glenview Drive and
Rufe Snow Drive.
John Zimmerman, Consulting Engineer,
came forward to represent Mr. Davis.
He said they do not have a problem
with the Engineer's comments except
for the requirement of a fire hydrant.
Mr. Zimmerman stated that Greg
Dickens, Director of Public Works and
Utilities, made Mr. Davis an offer for
the city to install the fire hydrant
and Mr. Davis bear the expense, but
Mr. Davis does not feel he should have
to pay for a fire hydrant and he wants
to go to the Council and request a
waiver. Mr. Zimmerman said if the
Council does not grant him a waiver,
he feels sure that Mr. Davis would go
along with Mr. Dicken's offer.
Chairman Brock asked if they agree to
all the other Engineer's comments.
Mr. Zimmerman said yes, they had
addressed each one. He said there was
a problem with the existing building
being over the building line, but Mr.
LeBaron said it would be a
non-conforming use and if it was ever

rebuilt, it would have to conform to
the building line.
Mr. Bowen stated that a little farther
south of this property on the west
side of Rufe Snow, there is a fire
hydrant that is not a full time
hydrant that might could be converted
to a regular fire hydrant at a much
less expense. He said he would like
to ask the City Staff to look into the
feasibility of this and see if it
could be made usable and save Mr.
Davis some money.
Mr. Zimmerman said they did not elect
to use this one since it is connected
to the water tank, but they would like
for Mr. Dickens to check into the
feasibility of it.
PS 91-14
APPROVED
Mr. Barfield made the motion to
approve PS 91-14 and request we send
this to the City Council and ask the
City Staff to look into using the
existing fire hydrant south of the
property on the west side of Rufe Snow
for a lesser amount of money than was
suggested to Mr. Davis and that the
fire hydrant at this time be waived.
Mr. Lueck asked if he recommends to
send it to the Council with the
recommendation that the fire hydrant
be waived and then if they find they
can use the overflow fire hydrant, to
look into that.
Mr. Barfield said yes, if this one can
be used, to let him use it for a
lesser amount of money, and then the
City Council can decide what they want
to do. Mr. Barfield said he would
like to waive it, but he does not want
to create a problem that is going to
be a hazard for the City.
This motion was seconded by Ms. Marin
and the motion carried 7-0.

PZ 91-17
Public Hearing for consideration of an
amendment to Zoning Ordinance #1080
regarding side yard requirements on
corner lots.
Chairman Brock said this is just a
housekeeping item. He opened the
Public Hearing and called for anyone
wishing to speak in favor of this
amendment to please come forward.
Mr. O.D. Long came forward. He asked
what they were trying to do. He said
some cities allow a lesser side
building line on corner lots.
Mr. Barfield said it would be 5 feet
less, the front building line would be
25 feet and the side building line
would be 20 feet.
Mr. Bowen stated that when the
Commission went to side yards of 6 and
10 feet, the requirement for corner
lots was actually deleted, but they
did not mean to. He said this is just
putting back what they previously had.
Chairman Brock called for anyone else
wishing to speak in favor of this
amendment to please come forward.
There being no one, the Chairman
called for those wishing to speak in
opposition to this amendment to please
come forward.
There being no one wishing to speak,
Chairman Brock closed the Public
Hearing.
