Tabled Item
Shellev Realtors
(Cont.)
MOTION: Upon a motion by Commissioner Garcia and seconded by
Commissioner Wilson, the Commission voted 6-0 to
remove agenda item from the table. The motion carried.
Craig Curry presented the request to the Commission. He
had a few changes that were requested by the Commission at the last
meeting. He pointed out to the Commission that if any portion of
a lot falls into another zoning district, that the lot would be the
most restricted zoning. Proposed lot sizes are "R-5" - 7,500 sq. ft.;
"R-4" - 9,000 sq. ft.; and "R-3" - 12,000 sq, ft.
Commission was concerned about the house sizes that are allowed
in the "R-5" district without deed restrictions. Consensus of the
Commission was to deed restrict the "R-5" district to put a minimum
on the house size on the lot.
Bill Petty stated to the Commission that the deed restrictions
needed to be kept as simple as possible from an administrative
enforcement viewpoint; there should be a designation of land use when
using blanket precentages.
MOTION: Upon a motion by Commissioner Wilson and seconded by
Commissioner Hoover, the Commission voted 6-0 to approve
Agenda Item No. IV with modifications. The motion carried.
Modifications:
(1) There will be a row of 120 feet in depth of "R-3"; adjacent to
High Point Estates on the south and east side
(2) There will be a row of 120 feet in depth of "R-4", adjacent to
the "R-3".
(3) The "R-5" portion will have a minimum house size will have a
minimum 1,350 sq. ft. per home to be documented with voluntary
deed restrictions before going to City Council.
The Commission adjourned for a break at 9:02.
