A
Good
afternoon
this
is
public
hearing
which
was
scheduled
reporting
to
all
the
ordinance
of
that
sort
of
thing
in
the
newspapers
and
people
notified
as
they
needed
to
be
or
not
needed
to
be,
and
this
is
April
27th
2006
and
it's
2:35
president
from
the
Planning
Commission,
our
mirror
Abel
and
myself.
Joann
will
have
to
have
a
quorum,
so
it
isn't
necessary
all
we're
doing
or
listening
to
what
the
public
has
to
say
about
these
things.
I'll
be
no
we're
not
having
discussion
or
anything
else.
A
We
just
want
to
hear
what
the
public
has
to
say.
We've
passed
the
sheet
around
mr.
Leatherwood
was
relief.
He
wants
to
speak,
he
wants
to
sign
that
and
we
are
going
to
do
University
of
States.
First
now
we
usually
takes
one
statement.
So
if
you
plan
to
say
anything,
would
you
please
stand
and
raise
your
right
hands?
Let's
drink,
tell
the
truth,
nobody's
going
to
say
anything
he's
the
only
one
experiencing
anything
he's
going
to
say
something
good.
You
swear
you're,
going
to
tell
the
truth.
Okay,
all
right!
A
B
B
Some
of
the
other
areas
were
multifamily
and
single-family
thought
up
against
each
other,
as
as
we
go
forward.
Some
of
this
will
be
determined
by
the
sales
whether
single-family
sells
at
a
faster
rate
or
a
multi-family,
so
we
just
tried
to
put
in
zoning
that
would
be
in
consistency
with
our
density
for
the
overall
project.
B
B
A
Anything
they
want
to
say
about
University
estates.
Our
problem
with
it
is
the
business
part
of
it
be
one
is
a
neighborhood
type
thing
and
it
was
a
zone
that
we
had
actually
attempted
to
get
rid
of,
because
it
was
put
in
basically
to
match
what
already
existed
when
they
had
zoning,
and
there
were
these
little
mom-and-pop
stores,
little
grocery
stores
in
different
areas,
and
so
that
was
put
in
his
neighborhood
business
and
we
felt
that
neighborhood
business
is
no
longer
appropriate.
A
The
item,
the
businesses
that
were
there
in
the
first
place
could
continue
as
long
as
there
was
not
they
continued
as
that
same
business
been
any
break
in
it.
Then
they
would
no
longer
to
be
able
to
have
that
business.
So
it's
not
actually
a
zone
that
we
use
anymore
to
that's.
If
we
don't
designate
anything
that
way,
they
said
we
would
like
to
get
rid
of
it.
So
the
question
of
the
business
is
something
we're
going
to
have
to
look
at
how
that
works.
Maybe.
C
D
The
way
the
way
it's
set
up
is
the
be
one
zone
permits
everything
permitted
in
r1,
r2
or
r3,
so
it
just
stacks
on
top
of
itself.
B1,
though,
additionally,
besides
in
either
single-family,
duplex
or
multi-family,
use,
also
includes
neighborhoods
businesses
supplying
services
mainly
to
people
in
the
neighborhood,
and
you
know
that's
why
we
had
the
discussion
before
there
really
such
businesses
anymore.
Well,.
E
C
Condos
that
are
for
rent
and
we're
timeshare,
or
something
like
that
is
my
understanding.
Guess
you
can
build
up
with
everything
in
the
are,
is
permitted
in
the
B
and
you
do
so.
You
can
have
a
b1
technically,
it
has
all
residential
on
it.
That's
great
isthmus,
that's
correct,
and
but
an
r3
says
it's
primarily
for
multi-family
housing
right.
The
difference
between.
D
D
That
was
a
recent
change
with
the
change
in
the
zoning
code.
There
was
this
idea
that
possibly
there
some
low
impact
neighborhood
kind
of
businesses
that
should
be
permitted
to
say,
for
example,
in
the
Mill
Street
area,
should
a
carry-out
be
allowed
or
some
kind
of
convenience
barber
shop.
Something
like
that.
The
thought
was
that
that
might
keep
people
from
having
to
drive
those
things.
People
might
want
to
walk
to.
So
the
code
change
does
to
conditionally
permitted
uses.
D
Those
b1,
neighborhood
type
business
uses
are
conditionally
permitted
in
an
r3,
principally
permitted
or
permitted
by
Wright
and
a
b-1,
and
also
permitted
by
Wright.
The
b1
is
residential
use.
On
the
first
floor,
when
you
jump
up
to
the
next
zone,
b2
residential
use
kicks
up
to
the
second
floor.
The
floor
is
reserved
for
commercial
and
ask
the.
C
D
D
A
D
The
answer
that's
no
depends
on
the
use,
if
there's
any
residential
component
to
it
at
all
and
there's
multiple
buildings
than
it
is
a
Planned
Unit
development.
If
it's
all
strictly
business
use,
it's
not
a
Planned
Unit
development
I
have
a
legal
opinion
from
the
law
director
on
that
the
PUD
regs
were
first
written.
There
was
some
concern
about
multiple
commercial
buildings.
Were
they
going
to
fall
under
the
new
PUD
regs?
Well,.
C
Most
of
these
areas
that
we're
talking
about
the
v1-
it
are
unplanted
at
this
time,
they're
not
in
in
essence
strategic
plan
or
whatever
you
want
to
call
it
master
plan
that
they
have
for
this
particular
development.
So
that's
why
I
wanted
these
briefly
go
through
what
sure
be
ones
as
an
any
be
to
put
multiple
buildings
and
then
a
straight
of
Libya
as
long
as
they're,
all
commercial,
commercial.
C
A
E
C
A
D
To
the
revisions
of
the
zoning
code
in
2003,
all
property
newly
annexed
to
the
city
came
in
and
are
as
an
r1
designation
when
the
zoning
code
was
changed
in
2003,
it
said
that
designations
different
designations
could
be
placed
at
that
time,
so
we
could
just
as
easily
be
here
and
they
could
be
saying
we
want
everything,
zoned
r1
and
then,
if
you
want
to
change
anything
later,
you
go
through
this
process
again.
So
there's
a
little
more
planning
involved
with
it
now
than
there
was
in
the
past.
C
E
A
A
A
A
E
D
Railroad
bed
that
essentially
followed
along
the
hockey
River
until
recently
there
was
a
big
bump
and
Stimson
right
before
he
got
to
the
bridge.
That's
where
the
railroad
went
through
right
there
along
the
river,
and
there
was
a
spur
that
came
off
that
went
to
landmark
essentially
runs
where
Croft
woodworking
is
now
behind
the
post
office
actually
by
the
roller
Bowl
and
went,
went
to
landmark
the
rail
line
existed
at
the
time
zoning.
The
initial
zoning
map
was
created
in
1960,
so
those
areas
were
reserved
for
manufacturing
use.
D
Since
then,
railroads
pulled
out
and
there's
really
no
way
to
practically
have
you
know
any
kind
of
transportation
of
goods,
but
the
zoning
was
never
changed.
Now
recently,
like
it's
been
a
few
years
ago,
when
Baker
and
LaValle
at
a
more
easterly
portion
of
this
rail
spur
wanted
to
build
some
residential
buildings
of
commercial
space.
They
had
some
many
storage.
We
had
to
go
through
a
rezoning
in
that
area.
It
also
used
to
go
through
back
there
and
pick
up
what
I
think
was
called
Meredith
oil
at
the
end
of
Hocking
Street.
D
So
that
was
you
know.
In
times
past,
there
was
a
lot
of
manufacturing
industrial
type
use
right
there,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
where
Athens
moulding
machine
and
Sun
power
at
that
still
zoned
him
with
Baker
in
Louisville,
we
cleaned
up
a
little
bit
of
their
zoning,
did
away
with
the
EM
went
to
our
three
below
the
old
rail
bed
b3
above
the
rail
bed
and
the
marathon
property
was
Rees
owned
at
the
same
time
from
m2r
3.
D
So,
as
projects
have
come
up,
we've
steadily
been
working
our
way
down
the
old
rail
spur,
and
this
just
happens
to
be
the
last
property
on
that
rail
spur
landmark,
is
really
buried
in
a
residential
zone.
But
it's
just
a
remnant
of
what
was
from
the
past
and
then
the
different
changes
that
have
happened
since
then,
since
the
removal
was
railroad.
D
E
E
D
To
the
south
is
Oak
Street,
Oak,
Street,
just
dead
ends
into
the
property.
That's
all
multi-family
residential
in
all
of
Plummer
Street,
which
is
on
the
east
side
of
the
property,
there's
all
multi-family
residential.
So
what
you're
doing
essentially,
in
my
mind,
is
just
blending
in
this
area
to
the
uses
that
are
most
common
surrounding
it,
but
not
giving
up
to
anything.
You
know
toward
the
north
on
the
Stimson
quarter,
there
could
have
been
a
proposal
to
rezone
the
old
Bob's
site,
the
grocery
store
site
as
our
three
residential
also.
D
D
North
that
the
third
block
of
the
Uptown
area
is
actually
the
most
westerly
portion
of
this
be
3/4
right.
That
essentially
runs
from
the
Masonic
Hall
and
the
armory
area.
All
the
way
to
the
city
limits
clear
out
off
the
Stimson
Avenue
bridge
and
headed
out
of
town
that
ol
corridor
through
there
is
b3
and
then
1
block
dropping
south
on
Court.
Street
is
also
in
that
b3
zone.
C
A
A
D
Want
to
remind
everyone
that,
as
I
mentioned
at
the
last
Planning
Commission
a
week
ago,
plan
commission
is
taking
public
input
on
a
proposal
for
a
business
use,
variance
at
315,
East,
8th,
Street
I've
placed
a
legal
ad
in
the
newspapers.
This
is
something
where
there's
no
timelines
involved,
but
it
was
in
the
paper
yesterday
and
I
mailed
out
letters
to
approximately
120
residents
within
500
feet.
I
have
gotten
a
couple
phone
calls
so
far.
Some
people
can't
attend
so
I
encourage
them
to
write
letters
in
expressing
the
opinion
and
I
have
it.
D
A
D
It's
been
widely
advertised
and
then
that's
scheduled
to
go
before
the
Board
of
Zoning
Appeals
on
May,
the
9th,
which
is
the
following
Tuesday
mr.
Smeltzer
might
opt
you
know
to
drop
the
case
to
have
it
withdrawn.
You
probably
be
curious
to
see
the
input
that
we
get
next
Thursday
from
people
in
the
neighborhood.
Well,.
