4.
Michael Cragin addressed the commission regarding the proposed site plan. The building will be
utilized as office space for his firm as well as leased office space for other professionals. Mr.
Cragin presented elevations of the building which will have a stucco exterior. He is proposing to
build two vestibules to the front of the structure. Mr. Cragin informed the commission that the
old storage building will be removed and a new one constructed, the asphalt will be removed and
replaced with a concrete drive and parking, and the property will be landscaped in compliance
with the zoning ordinance.. The commission recommended Mr. Cragin have a circular drive with
angled parking on one side and reversed angled parking on the opposite side -Mr. Cragin
agreed.
Overall, the Commission liked the concept, adding that it was a great improvement to the
property. The Commission would support the development; however, the ordinance requires a
40' set back when a Light Industrial Zone is across the street from a single family residential
dwelling. The building is already a non-conforming structure and the ordinance states there
cannot be an increase to the non-conformance of the structure. The two vestibules would
increase the non-conformance of the building. Mr. Cragin can either redesign the footprint of the
building or apply for a variance to the BOA. The Commission cannot approve the site plan as it
is; however, the commission would recommend that the BOA give serious consideration to the
proposed site plan.
Pre-app -Pecan Subdivision.
This will be considered at the next meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
5.Communications from:
A.Staff -none
B.Council Liaison -not in attendance-
C.Commissioners -review policy on the length of time and item can stay on the
agenda as a tabled item for the next meeting.
The meeting was adjourned.
