Gragson City Manager A. H. Kennedy Commissioner Wm. H. Elwell Adm.Assistant Robert D. Heath Commissioner E. W. Fountain Deputy City Commissioner Reed Whipple Attorney Sidney R. Whitmore Absent: Commissioner Sharp In opening the meeting Mayor Gragson reminded those present that the Board of City Commissioners had agreed not to take any action contrary to the recommendation of the Planning Commission without first having a joint meeting to discuss the matter. In response to his call for comments, Commissioner Whipple said he would like to hear from the Planning Commission first. Franklin Bills, Planning Director, said that Mr. Cahlan, Chairman of the Planning Commission, was unable to be present, but he wanted to make sure that everyone had the complete background of the requested use. First Action. This particular piece of property first came to the Planning Commission with the request that it be zoned C-1 (Commercial) from R-1 (Residential). Second Action. The Planning Commission, after the required Public Hearing, recommended to the City Commission that the property in question be rezoned C-1 on the findings that it could not be reasonably used for a single family residence, which was the only use permitted at that time. Mr. Bills stated that while the request was in process it was made clear by the applicant that in the event this Zone Change materialized, he would submit an application to the Board of Zoning Adjustment for a Use Permit to put a Service Station thereon. Third Action. Application for a Use Permit was submitted and heard by the Board of Zoning Adjustment at a Public Hearing. Four members of the Board were present. A motion to recommend approval failed to pass. 12-8-59 WILBUR CLARK'S SERVICE STATION (U-16-59) Deferred
