A request by Gary Collier for a zone change from R-3,
(Residential), to B-3, (Community Business) was the subject of
a public hearing at the Planning Board on March 12, 1996. The
property is located on the north side of Washington Street
between 1st Avenue West North and 2nd Avenue West North and is
approximately 14,000 square feet. A property owner in the area
expressed concerns about the access and property values. A
letter was received from the property owner to the east, whose
property is included, in favor of the zone change. Letters of
opposition were received from 2 other property owners concerned
about parking and sidewalks. The Planning Board adopted the
findings of fact and forwarded a favorable unanimous
recommendation that the zone change be approved. A motion
relating to their recommendation is in order.
Arrenda Item 6-Resolution 4255-Triangle Development -Annexation
A request by Triangle Development for annexation and a city

Stage Road, approximately 800 feet south of West Evergreen
Drive.

favor of the proposal, which included a representative for the
applicant. Three residents were opposed. The Planning Board
forwarded a recommendation of R-5 (Residential/Professional
Office), on a four/three vote in favor. A public hearing on the
preliminary plat is scheduled for April 15th and a request for
approval. The Council needs to vote on the Planning Board
recommendation.

on estimated quantities at unit prices. The difference between
the accepted bid of $22,809.50 and high bid was 15%. The power
company requirement that all electrical underground lines be
placed in conduit, added $7,700 in the contract and accounted
for the major budget overage.
