Public Hearing for request of Arnold
& Doris Pair to rezone part of Tract
1, Brentwood Estates, from its present
classification of AG Agriculture to LR
Local Retail. This property is
located west of Davis Boulevard and
north of Shady Grove Road.
Chairman Wood called Mr. Pair to come
forward.
Chairman Wood stated that technically
you have to have 50 feet road frontage
and this property does not.
.
Doug Long came forward. He stated
that Mr. Pair has access use of the
property. He said he has a 30 foot
easement and R.O.W. access which has a
50 foot R.O.W. on Davis Boulevard.
Mr. Long said Mr. Pair does not own
this land, but he has ingress-egress
to it.
Mr. Miller read from the Zoning
Ordinance, Section 12.4.1 (b) "Minimum
frontage: Every parcel of land within
this district shall have at least
fifty (50) feet in frontage on a
public street."
Mr. Long said you can not deprive a
man the use of his property. He said
he does have the document that allows
him to use that strip.
Chairman Wood said he was going to say
they could not hear this request and
would refund his money, but P & Z will
hear it and let it stand on it's own
merits.
Mr. Long stated this came up several
years ago when Mark Hannon was on the
Board. He said it was agreed that if
you have ingress-egress to a public
street, it would be okay.
.
Mr. Miller stated he would talk to the
City Attorney.

.
Mr. Long stated this property is
adjacent to the R-2 zoned property
just heard and the C-l to the south
that was just approved. He said Local
Retail is a transitional zoning
between residential and commercial.
Mr. Long stated that Mr. Pair is
willing to have a 50 foot building set
back from the residential property.
Chairman Wood opened the Public
Hearing and called for anyone else
wishing to speak in favor of this
request to please come forward.
Chairman Wood asked why does he need
the zoning; what does he plan to do
with the property.
.
Mr. Long stated that Mr. Pair does not
have a specific use at this time, but
would like to market his property. He
said Mr. Pair does have his present
electrician office in his home on the
property and has some storage in a
building behind his home at this time.
Mr. Long said if you zone it to a
non-conforming use, he would have 5
years to continue that use, and he
would agree to that.
Chairman Wood said he does not have a
view from Davis Boulevard because of
the Animal Clinic.
Mr. Long stated the Animal Clinic is a
pie-shaped property and there is view
from Davis. He said they think the
property would be good for a day care
use. He said they would not have to
have major frontage exposure.
Chairman Wood stated if granted Local
Retail as requested, it would be zoned
for any use in the Local Retail
district.
.
Mr. Long asked if it could be zoned
Local Retail subject to a site plan
submittal prior to a building permit
being issued.

.
Chairman Wood stated that granting
Local Retail would allow some uses the
Commission would really not want next
to a residential subdivision.
Mr. Long asked if the Commission would
state which ones they did not want and
let Mr. Pair agree not to allow them
in there.
Chairman Wood stated they can not zone
and limit the use.
Mr. Long stated some people would not
want to have to get the zoning
themselves. He said Mr. Pair would
rather go ahead and get the property
zoned to Local Retail.
.
Mr. Bowen stated he questions the
legality of being able to live there
after it would be zoned Local Retail.
He said this city does not have
cumulative zoning.
Mr. Long stated he looked through the
Ordinance and could not find where it
said, in an existing non-conforming
use, which he is, he could not stay
there if zoned commercial.
Chairman Wood called for anyone
wishing to speak in opposition to this
request to please come forward.
There being no one wishing to speak,
the Chairman closed the Public
Hearing.
Chairman Wood stated that tieing it to
a site plan would be better, but would
require tabling this request and
having a work session with Mr. Pair.
Mr. Miller stated that Local Retail
does not allow for a Planned
Development.
.
Mr. Long pointed out that a site plan
is required for Local Retail zoning
and he will provide one later.

.
Mr. Miller said Mr. Long says he will
present a site plan later and requests
you zone it to Local Retail with the
site plan to come later.
Chairman Wood said they can not
approve this and send it to council
without having a Public Hearing on the
site plan.
Mr. Long said he requests P & Z
approve the Local Retail zoning with
the stipulation that a Public Hearing
on a site plan must be approved prior
to issuing a building permit.
Chairman Wood stated that would put a
big burden on the City Staff to keep
up with that.
.
Mr. Long said he could bring them a
"white washed" site plan, but they
have no idea what they plan to do with
the property, but if that is what the
P & Z wants, we request it be tabled
until they can bring in a site plan.
Chairman Wood stated that a "white
washed" site plan is not what P & Z
wants, but we had rather you wait
until you have something to bring to
us.
Mr. Miller stated that the City
Manager requires us not to bring
anything to council unless it is
complete, and this is not complete.
Mr. Lueck asked Mr. & Mrs. Pair if not
having this zoning would hinder the
marketing of their property. He said
it could be sold subject to getting
the zoning.
.
Mr. Pair said they have the water
tower beside them, the Animal Clinic
in front of them, and commercial
around them and for residential, it
would be hard to market.

Mr. Lueck said he was not suggesting
they market it for residential.
Mr. Long said he could draw up a site
plan for a day care or something and
Mr. Pair could market it based on the
site plan.
Mr. Miller said you could have the
site plan where it could be used as a
day care or an office building.
Ms. Marin said she feels there are
still too many questions to just zone
it Local Retail without a site plan or
any answers. She said she feels they
could be limiting him with Local
Retail zoning.
Mr. Lueck said he does not feel that
technically they can approve it
without a site plan.
Mr. Long asked that the case be
tabled.
Mr. Bowen made the motion to table
PZ 90-09 as requested. This motion
was seconded by Mr. Lueck and the
motion carried 6-0.
