Council Member Holt called the meeting to order at 3:00 p.m. Mr. Huxford reviewed the marked agenda which contains 8 items marked for deferral; 6 items ready for action; 4 public hearings to be opened and continued; 4 items marked for withdrawal; and 5 items marked for second reading and re-referral.  

 

2014-143 (rezoning Trout River Drive – Diving Academy): Mr. Charles Mann commented he had been retained by the residents of the neighborhood. The request is for the committee to withdraw the application and order a cease and desist. The concern is that there is no effort by the business owner to correct any of the outstanding violations which includes parking.  Additionally, the safety of the neighbors was mentioned as a concern. 

 

CM Holt declined to withdraw item at this time. He will contact the business owner to inform him of the committee’s request for a new application (substitute). Action will be taken at the first committee meeting in January 2015. In the interim, Mr. Mann will attempt to work with Mr. Harden to work out a possible resolution.

 

2014-696 (rezoning 3515 Rosselle Street): Bill is deferred for one cycle. CM Love requested the correction of the staff report to reflect the correct council member.

 

2014-724 (amend chapter 656 – Cert of Use): This item will be taken up first on the agenda.

 

2014-725 (rezoning 5209 Shad Road): In response to CM Boyer inquiry about the purpose of rezoning for the charter school already approved, Mr. Huxford will research a possible alternative to grant a sign wavier without a complete rezoning.

 

There being no further business, the agenda meeting was adjourned at 3:13 p.m.
