Members Present: Chairman Blake Tarpley, Secretary Aldona Standridge, and Jim Davenport, Jim Sims, and Dusty Bonds Members Absent: None Visitors/Officials Present: City Planner David Harris, Jim Lynch/City Corp, Fire Marshall Richard Setian, Planning Assistant Lequitta Jones, Mayor Bill Eaton, and W.R.

Member Davenport made the motion to approve the minutes as written. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Sims and passed unanimously. The Second Order of Business was a Public Hearing requesting a 23-foot variance from the required M-2 zoning district 25-foot side yard setback to allow a proposed wash bay at Zebcon Ready Mix, 2808 East 16th, submitted W.R. Taylor, Jr. (BOA 13.11.3602) City Planner Harris said the adjoining property is 3-4 feet higher than the Zebcon property, so there should be no water from the proposed structure flowing onto that property. Harris also stated that Mr. Lynch with City Corp is okay with the proposal, and that no other utility had responded, which generally indicates there are no problems. Mr. Harris said he did not have any issues with the proposal. Member Davenport asked if there is any way the waste water from the wash can get to the creek. Mr. Taylor said no, the waste water must go into the sewer. The reason for the roof is to prevent rain water from entering the sewer. City Planner said Fire Marshal Setian may have some minor requirements regarding the wall closest to the property line. Secretary Standridge asked if there had been comments from nearby property owners. Mr. Taylor and City Planner Harris both responded 'no'. Commissioner Sims asked if there were problems with the utilities being in the way. Mr. Taylor said there are no utilities under the building and there should be no problems. Secretary Standridge made the motion to approve the request subject to the Fire Marshal’s approval if Mr. Taylor encloses the building. Member Bonds seconded the motion and passed unanimously. Adjourned. _________________________ Chairman Blake Tarpley
