Mayor Pro Tem Davis moved, seconded by Councilman Kenna, to approve GN 85-61. Councilman Kenna stated that in the preamble to this item it seemed that the City missed the fact that the driveway would open onto Rufe Snow Drive. Councilman Kenna stated that if in fact the plans showed the location of the drive and the plans were approved, he thought it would be very wrong to come back and require someone to change the plans. Councilman Kenna stated he would recommend that in the future when construction plans were reviewed, more attention should be payed to such things as driveways. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated that if the driveway was overlooked he did not think the burden should be placed on someone to change their plans. Councilman Ramsey stated that the ordinance was clear concerning curb cuts on Rufe Snow Drive and just because the staff overlooked something that was in violation of the ordinance, it did not give everyone carte blanche to go out and do what they wanted to. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated he did not think there was an ordinance against this, but it was at the discretion of the Public Works Director to approve curb cuts on Rufe Snow Drive. Mr. Line stated that the ordinance gave the Public Works Director the authority to review and approve curb cuts onto any street. Mr. Line stated the initial review of these plans was from the standpoint of looking at the construction of the house and it would have been very desirable if the driveway had been noticed. Mayor Pro Tem Davis called for the question. Motion to approve failed 5-2; Councilmen Fisher, Newman and Ramsey and Councilwomen Hinkle and Moody voting against; Councilman Kenna and Mayor Pro Tem Davis voting for. Mr. Rick Tuggle appeared before the Council. Mr. Tuggle stated that if had known he would not be allowed to make a curb cut on Rufe Snow he would not June 24, 1985 Page 3 GN 85-60 AMENDMENT TO ORDINANCE NO. 1811 REGULATION USE OF PARKS SYSTEM APPROVED GN 85-61 REQUEST OF RICK TUGGLE FOR A DRIVEWAY OPENING ONTO RUFE SNOW DRIVE DENIED *14. *15. *16. *17. *19. *20. have built the house. Mr. Tuggle stated he had submitted his plans and they were approved and it would be a tremendous cost to change the driveway. Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated he felt Mr. Tuggle had done what he was suppose to and his reason for wanting to approve the request was because the construction was already started. Councilman Ramsey stated the discussion was out of order and the Council should move to the next item. 18. Mayor Pro Tem Davis moved, seconded by Councilman Ramsey, to table PW 85-18 for two weeks to allow the Staff and CIP Committee time to evaluate the bid and possibly talk to the contractor about the long number of days. Motion carried 7-0.
