September 13th Planning Commission Meeting

There are several important items being discussed at the Wednesday Planning meeting. It is Wednesday because Tuesday is the Primary Election.

We will be getting updates on the following:

• Tattoo Ordinance
• B-2 Ordinance
• Street Naming Project
• Residential Landscaping
• Comprehensive Plan
• Vehicles in Residential Districts
• Request for a CUP for a take-out and delivery Pizza business
• New Coldwell Banker Building one site located west of 65 & north of Palomino
• Revisit of Fairway Greens III addition

The Tattoo and B-2 Ordinances are updates on reforming current ordinances and adding new ones when necessary. Residential landscaping update brings the current procedures being applied to homeowners into ordinance form were everyone may view the requirements.
The comprehensive plan as presented has so many issues I will have to dedicate several pages to its flaws after the meeting. I am also concerned that the zoning map is not part of the packet for review. This map has considerable issues as well. I will be asking for this so the public and commission members are given an ample opportunity to review and comment on it. I urge the public to come and listen and comment on the plan. The push is already on to fast track this before the coming election. We must get it done right not fast.
Vehicles in Residential Districts addresses commercial vehicles parked on pads or driveways. There is also a push to allow parking on grass areas throughout the City. This should not be allowed.
The Pizza and Coldwell Banker business moving to town will provide services and add to the tax base. We will I believe no have four pizza places in town. Seems like a lot but if they can make a go of it more power to them.
Iverson is pushing the tiny lots for 49 single family homes east of highway 65. I have discussed my opposition to this proposal many times......The Planning Commission voted against this twice already. Mr. Iverson still has not fulfilled all the requirements for the proposed action. We are unable to even discuss the merits of this project because of his refusal to follow the rules everyone else must follow.
