"Review Specific Use Permit for Jones Addition (Ordinance No. 701-5-86), issued
May 15, 1986, approved with a provision for review at the time of vacancy of the
premises by the Jones family, either by sale or change of occupants."
Mr. Tom Keener stated that staff has received a request from a prospective purchaser of the
subject property to determine whether the specific use permit (SUP) remains valid. Two
specifications were placed on the original SUP as follows: 1) limitation of horses to three;
2) the SUP would be reviewed at such time as the Jones family vacates or sells the property.
The question before the Commission is whether or not to continue the SUP Mr. Petty
recommended that the issue could be reconsidered at such time as the property is subdivided.

Biggs, the Commission voted 6 FOR and 0 OPPOSED to continue the SUP for
the Jones Addition.
Other Business:
Mr. Petty advised the Commission that the Development Subcommittee has considered the
question of screening and entry walls, and the City Council has directed the following policy-
screening
olicyscreening walls and entry walls to subdivisions should be approved to the City standards (to
be developed), and allowed in public right-of-way and the City will accept maintenance. If
property owners desire fences or living screens on private property, that is allowed. The
Council stated that they desire masonry walls and not living screens. The design standards
should be completed within two more meetings.
Mr. Petty added regarding the issue of street lighting that staff has obtained information from
TU Electric and have discussed the information with the Development Subcommittee. The
Commission further discussed the issue of street lighting and the consensus was that
Commissioners Kelley and Fulk would discuss the issue further with the Development
