Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes February 17, 1994 Page 2 The Chair said heating none, what the board has in front of them is that Ms. Ne. al wishes to have an exception made for the right-of-way for a private road running down Cee Jay Drive so that a 3 acre lot can be divided. But the board found that if they divide that, then the board would have exceeded the standards that we have in our subdivision regulations according to private road. They were not able to meet the conditions of improving the road and putting the paved apron at the end of the road, because they did not get the agreement of the adjacent property owners. There being no further comments, Mr. Nichols MOTIONED to deny Petition 94- 01(s), seconded by Mr. Smith.

Their meeting will be held on March 21, 1994, at 7:00 p.m. Mr. Marshall, Staff Member, addressed the Board about Petition 94-03(0 zoning text amendment stating this petition is for the purpose of altering the development standards of the general industrial district. Mr. Marshall said there are four changes proposed three of which are shown in the text amendment and one more that he will highlight. Those changes are specifically to alter the lot size, to reduce it from a 5 acre lot size minimum in this district to 1 acre, to add a district size of 10 acres, meaning that no general industrial district, no matter how many parcels make it up, shall be smaller than 10 acres. Mr. Marshall said they would also alter the setbacks to 75 feet in the front, 30 feet side and rear. The change that is not in the listing that would need to be made is currently the minimum average lot width is 300 feet by altering the lot size to 1 acre, we feel that this needs to be reduced and recommend 200 feet. The one thing that would
