Reconsideration of Jack Shinall stated that at the November 15, 1982 council a request by James Benton to rezone prop- erty at the corner of ing and Bank Street from R-15 to Limited Commercial was denied. Jack said at the hearing he was under the impression that the front door of the house faced Bank Street and from some of the things he had said, might have led other members of council to believe the same, and voted against the rezoning for this reason. Jack said Mr. Benton could not reapply for the zoning for one year unless it was brought up by a council member who voted in the negative. Jack said the house does face King Street and has a King Street mailing address and felt a mistake had been made in denying the zoning. Jack Shinall made a motion the Mayor and Council correct the zoning of this property on its own motion as provided in the City Zoning Code and cause the property to be readvertised and re-heard both before the Planning and Zoning Board and afterwards by Mayor and Council.

In order to be handled equitably, the County has been divided into 15 quadrants with a schedule assigned for each quadrant. So far, we have had 25 DUI cases and 75 other cases tried within Smyrna with anticipated revenues of $6,000, since December 6, 1982. Within one year's time, he felt the operation would more than double the cost of salaries for the individual we have assigned to the force. In addition, there has already been purchased $19,342 worth of equipment, which at the end of the year will revert back to the City. In addition to the revenues derived, we will actually gain about $42,000 worth of service and equipment.
