I.. 01d Business
a. Mr. A. David Frost - Industrial Court to receive the Board's
decision as to acceptance by the City of Industrial Court as a
dedicated street. The staff checked the requirements of the street
width in an industrial area. Planning ordinances indicate this
type right -of -way is a "collector" street and the width of such
street shall be no less than seventy (70) feet. Industrial Court
is presently forty (40) feet wide. Motion made by Mr. Flowers,
seconded by Mr. Billingsley, that this request be denied on the
fact that the street could not meet City requirements. Motion
carried with none opposed.
b. Mr. Skip Strickland - Lots 9 & 11, Block 2, Crestdale Addition
to receive information concerning commercial areas street require-
ments. Mr. Ken Wilson represented Mr. Strickland on subject
property. The staff informed the Board that Magnolia Street was
platted and dedicated as a "local" street for residential purposes
and is a fifty (50) foot right -of -way, the width required for a
local street. A street adjacent to a commercial or industrial
zoned area should be a,"collector" type and such street should have
a minimum width of seventy (70) feet. The Board stated that all
ingress and egress traffic will be generated from and onto Highway
287 only. The Board's main concern is noise developed in a residen-
tial area and deemed it necessary for a six (6) foot solid screening
fence along Lot 9 and Magnolia Street. The Board requested some
type fence be put along Lot 10 to prevent traffic from going onto
private property and the fence have visibility from the highway for
patrolling purposes by the Police Department. The Board also asked
that a gate be put in for emergency traffic such as fire, ambulance
and /or police vehicles. Motion made by Mr. Flowers, seconded by
Mr. Cromer, that Mr. Wilson preserit these recommendations to Mr.
Strickland and incorporate those into the plans for a Building Permit,
and present the plans to the staff before' they are submitted to the
Board. Motion carried with none opposed.
II. Building Permits
a. Mr. Fred Smith - 416 East Mansfield Highway made a request
for a Building Permit to erect a sign in front of Airwheel Automotive
Company. Mr. Justiee stated the proposed sign meets all City
requirements with the exception of having. two (2) base post in lieu
of the one (1) authorized in ordinances. It would appear that two
(2) post instead of one (1) would be more beneficial to all concerned.
Motion made by Mr. Cromer, seconded by Mr. Brown, that the permit
be granted.
