He stated that a mistake was made in the information as the property had been rezoned to M-1 Light Industrial in 2012, and was not currently zoned C-2 General Business District. The new rezoning would change it from M-1 Light Industrial to R-3 Multi-family. The developers are proposing four (4) 8-unit buildings, eight (8) Duplexes and a Community Building. Valorie Simpson asked Mr. Brown about the traffic flow in that area and if it will pose a problem. Mr. Brown informed the Board that the developers have already indicated their willingness to assist with intersection improvements in that area. Alderman Buckley asked if this was the same area that land was going to be donated to the City for the new lift station. Mr. Brown stated that it was still under consideration with the Board of Aldermen. David Helton expressed his desire for more Commercial property in the area, not residential. Terry Kathcart agreed and stated that he has future concerns with the four lane highway coming in and the loss of Commercial area would be limiting potential for the City. Mr. Brown stated that there was more green space available in the back. Motion was made by Alderman Buckley and seconded by Valorie Simpson to approve the rezoning request for Tracts 1 and 2 of Hamilton Properties. Motion carried with a vote of 6-0. Voting aye: Alderman Buckley, David Helton, Valorie Simpson, Adam Shelledy, Mayor Hendrickson and Terry Kathcart. Old Business None.
