PUBLIC BEARING: Mayor Sawyer explained that the two public
hearings were 'zoning hearings held jointly with the Planning and
Zoning Commission. He then turned the meeting over to Mr. Bob
Andrews, Vice Chairman of the P&Z.
Mr. Andrews explained that the first public zoning hearing - ZC
176 - was on a request by C.P. Vaughan, Vaughan Homes, for
rezoning a 10.113 acre tract, now zoned R-5, and a 10.406 acre
tract, now zoned R-2. It was requested that these two zonings be
reversed so that the R-2 zoning be appl ied to the 10.113 acre
tract and the R-5 zoning be applied to the 10.406 acre tracts.
Mr. Andrews also explained the procedures for the hearings; first
will be comments and location from city staff, then any comments
from the person requesting the hearing and lastly any comments,
either pro or con, from the citizens. After the close of the
hearings, there will be no further comments received by either
the Planning and Zoning Commission or the City CounciL All
comments will be taken into consideration and the P&Z have ten
days in which to make a recommendation to the City Council, who
will take action at their next regular meeting.
Steve Simonson, Planning Coordinator, explained the location of
these two tracts of land, saying the request was for a flip flop
in zonings.
As there were no citizens wishing to speak on this request, this
public hearing was closed at 7:06 p.m.
B. ZC 177 - Mr. Andrews said that this hearing concerned a
request by C.L. Kucherka for zoning 'change for two parcels of
land located along FM 3009, one a 1.337 acre tract and the other
a 1.367 acre tract, both currently zoned Office and Professional;
and it is requested the two tracts be rezoned Neighborhood

.7 CITY MANAGER'S REPORT: A. Have received a letter from

on the next workshop.
B. Regarding the no parking on I 35 access, especially in front
of Bussey's, we have had numerous phone calls from people
protesting and they even conf ronted our off icers. Mr. Gilmore
suggested "Tow Away" signs be placed under the "No Parking"
signs. The parking on the access roads still presents a safety
hazard and traff ic hazards. The ordinance does not have to be
modified, just put up the signs so people will know that their
vehicles may be towed away. Council concensus was to place the
signs.

Shepherd to place banners over Main Street and Live Oak Road and
place signs at the church and Aviation at the low water crossing.
.8 ITEMS BY COUNCIL: Mr. Sharpe asked what could be done
about the increasing numbers of roadside vendors - it seems we
put up no parking signs and they just move to another location.

location. However, we do have an ordinance now and they will be
brought into court.
