MINUTES OF THE
TUPELO PLANNING COMMITTEE
December 7, 2020
CALL TO ORDER
Chairperson Ms. Leslie Mart called the meeting to order. She asked Mr. Gus Hildenbrand to
open with a prayer and Mr. Jimmy Swann to lead the pledge of allegiance. She then asked
committee members to introduce themselves. Ms. Patti Thompson, Mr. William Smith, Mr. Gus
Hldenbrand, Mr. Scott Davis and Mr. Jimmy Swann, Development Services staff member Ms.
Marilyn Vail were in person. Ms. Mart and Mr. Lindsey Leake were present using Zoom.
REVIEW OF NOVEMBER 2020 MINUTES
Chairperson Mart asked the group if they had reviewed the minutes of the last meeting. Ms.
Thompson made a motion to approve the minutes as written and Mr. Smith seconded. The
motion carried and approved the minutes.
REPORT ON COUNCIL ACTIONS
Ms. Vail reported the status of the November agenda items. The rezoning will have its final
public hearing and vote before the Council on December 15, 2020. The other items on the
agenda were approved by the City Council at their last meeting.
NEW BUSINESS
FLEXVAR20-05: Application from Roberto Meza to allow construction of a fence
six feet in height in the front yard of property at 4264 Butler Road.
Mr. Roberto Meza, 4264 Butler Road explained that he had purchased the home and adjacent
lot and wanted to install a fence along the front of his property and down the sides to protect
his children as they play outside. He went on to describe the high volume of traffic in the area.
He described the fence he is proposing as being about forty inches of a decorative concrete
border with decorative wrought iron on top of it to reach a height of seventy-two inches. Mr.
Meza also stated that he plans to have his property surveyed to determine the right of way and
plans to put the fence at least eight feet off the right of way.
Mr. Hildenbrand and Mr. Swann both discussed a large ditch on the right of way and asked Mr.
Meza how far from the ditch the fence will be. He explained that is why he is having the
property surveyed so he will provide ample room for working on the buried utilities if
necessary. The group continued to discuss the details of the fence. The Committee had no
more questions for Mr. Meza and opened the public portion of the meeting.
APPENDIX G
459
Mr. Jason Warren, developer of a new subdivision in the area and resident at 1006 Charleston
Boulevard, said that he prefers the existing natural landscaping of Mr. Meza’s property and
fears that the very ornate fence planned will be distracting to the area. Chairperson Mart asked
about the fencing around the new subdivision. He explained they have created a berm with
landscaping on the top and are using wooden fencing. Mr. Warren said he preferred a wrought
iron fence without a concrete base.
Mr. Davis stated that, as one travels Butler Road all you may see is miles of solid board wooden
fences. He went onto explain that these fences are on the back yards of homes but he felt this
wrought iron fence will be more open and attractive. He went on to say that the concrete
portion of the fence could be limited to less than forty inches.
Since there was no one else to speak at the public portion, the Committee closed it and started
their discussion. Mr. Pat Falkner, Director of Development Services, and Committee member
Ms. Pam Hadley joined the meeting via Zoom at this time.
The Committee discussed the height of the decorative concrete base. Mr. Falkner said his
analysis was on the picture of the fence Mr. Meza provided. It shows a base of only about
sixteen inches high. He felt that the lower base and openness of the wrought iron did not pose
as much a visibility issue for traffic or blocking view of the home. He went on to say that a
forty-inch high concrete base would count as a wall and not a fence. Mr. Falkner said he
thought thirty-six inches was as high as it should be.
The Committee continued to discuss various heights from eighteen inches to twenty-four
inches. Mr. Davis then made a motion to approve the fence with a decorative concrete base of
no higher than twenty-four inches with the total fence being no taller than seventy-two inches
and at least eight to ten feet from the right of way. Mr. Hildenbrand seconded the motion and
the vote was unanimous in favor of the motion.
FLEXVAR20-08: Application from Michael Carter / CLRS, LLC to allow
construction of a building addition with a five-foot setback rather than the required
ten-foot setback.
Ms. Amy Thomas spoke on behalf of CLRS, LLC and Mr. Michael Carter located at 103 Rankin
Boulevard. Ms. Thomas explained that they are requesting to add on to the building the width
of the existing drive for a storage room for equipment related to the rental business. The
outside of the addition will match the existing brick building and the roofline will be extended
and look the same. Ms. Thomas provided a picture of a roll up garage door planned for the
project. The Committee members reviewed the picture.
Mr. Hildenbrand and Chairperson Mart both asked about the foundation for the building
addition. Ms. Thomas explained she did not know about the details of the construction. She
added the contractor would be responsible for those details. The Committee had no other
questions for Ms. Thomas and opened the public portion of the meeting.
APPENDIX G
460
Ms. Corinne Keith, 105 Rankin Boulevard, spoke against the application. She listed her concern
for fire safety, decline of her property value and that the addition would provide no benefit to
the neighborhood. Ms. Keith further explained that she understood that Mr. Carter owned
many properties in Tupelo and felt that one of the other properties would be more appropriate
for this storage area than the one next to her. She also talked about Mr. Carter having the
property surveyed. Ms. Keith said she has hired a surveyor to survey her property but
unfortunately, their schedule prevented them from having it complete before the meeting. She
felt that five feet was too close for them to be to her property line. Ms. Keith then mentioned
that there is an Atmos gas line running very close to the driveway and her property. She then
introduced her husband, Kenny, to explain the gas line.
Mr. Kenny Keith said he had talked to Atmos and expected them to be at the meeting. He went
on to say that the gas line runs across Kings Creek and across this property providing gas for all
the businesses east, including Kroger. He stated the line runs very close to where they plan to
build the addition.
Ms. Joyce Logan, who owns 104 Rankin and lives at 106 Rankin, expressed her objection to the
variance agreeing with all the reasons Ms. Keith had expressed. She then read a warning notice
about construction near a natural gas line. She also talked about how hard Ms. Keith and the
other neighbors had worked to make their end of Rankin Boulevard more attractive.
The Committee closed the public portion on the meeting and discussed the information
provided and the concerns about the details of the building addition, Ms. Keith’s request to
have her property surveyed and the location of the gas line. Mr. Hildenbrand made a motion to
table the item until they are able to get answers to the various concerns. Ms. Thompson
seconded the motion. Chairperson Mart asked for a discussion of the motion. They asked Ms.
Thomas to discuss their concerns. Ms. Thomas said she supported tabling the item so that she
could have someone there to answer all their questions. The Committee then voted and it was
unanimous to table the item until there are answers for their questions.
The Committee then asked about the next meeting. Mr. Falkner and Ms. Vail explained there is
a Special Called meeting scheduled on December 21 to address a rezoning request and another
variance. The Committee decided to hold a work session on December 14.
The Committee adjourned the meeting.
