Mr. Wood was present and stated he wanted to build one, seven unit apartment
building. He also stated that he would be living in one of the basement
apartments. After some discussion the Commission asked Mr.,Wood if he would
change his request from RM-12 to RM-10 and he agreed to do so. After further
discussion Richard DeBord made a motion to recommend to Mayor and Council
this request be denied. The reasons for this motion were as follows: (1)
This would not conform to the future land use map, which shows this to be
a Low -Density area. (2) Church Street is a minor thoroughfare and there are
no plans for future widening. (3) The traffic condition is already bad
because of the narrow street and this would make it worse.
The second order of business was an informal discussion on future changes
in The City of Smyrna Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Tim McGarry of Kidd and
Associates was present to discuss some of the problems. Mr. McGarry agreed
to get some of his ideas typed up and copies sent to the Commission in
about 3 weeks. The Commission also agreed to get some of their ideas together
and discuss them and Mr. McGarry's ideas at the next zoning meeting. After
the commission has combined all ideas they will call a meeting with Mr.McGarry.
The third order of business was discussion on Mr. David Crowson's
proposed Subdivision Plat. There was no one present to represent Mr. Crowson.
