- I will lead us on the pledge. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to

- Here. First item on our agenda is approval of the minutes from the meeting on April 9th of 2026.
- So moved. Second. We have a motion and a second. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed? Hearing none.
- Motion carries.
- Does anybody have any conflict of interest? Statement. No old business, new business. Petition for a
- zoning map amendment to rezone two partials, 2.2, 2.03 acres from commercial two to residential two,
- medium density residential at 5010 North Lakeview Drive. Petitioner is Guy Kevin Ferris, case number PC 26-50.
- tonight petitioner Kevin Ferris is requesting to rezone two parcels totaling approximately 2.03 acres
- from commercial to residential to medium density residential. Subject parcels are located at 5010 North
- Lakeview Drive. Current uses of the parcels are single family residential and the outdoor storage of
- our campers, boats,
- The Monroe County GIS shows parcels have the same address and parcel number, but research from petitioners,
- engineer, found each showing two separate parcels have never been consolidated into one parcel. The
- Oldsville Comprehensive Plan designates land to be single-family residential. The Unified Development
- Ordinance states the intent of residential two zoning is to establish areas for single-family and two-family
- dwellings.
- petitioners intent is to construct single family housing on the lots. The parcels have significant great
- changes and sewer main runs through the middle of the parcels. In our two zoning designation would allow
- development pattern better suited to the physical characteristics of the property. Our two zoning will
- allow work around the site constraints because of the setback lot width and lot size requirements.
- Has a side note, R2 zoning allows same square footage of living area, has residential one zoning.
- And further, it allows for a smaller neighborhood with a smaller footprint. The reduced development
- footprint and flexibility associated with R2 zoning will result in more compatible and responsible site
- design given the property's difficult topography.
- So the analysis of the required findings one comprehensive plan, the comprehensive plan designates land
- to be single family residential and both single family and plan neighborhoods. Two current conditions,
- the change zoning is based on the current conditions of the property and the surrounding character of
- the land. The parcels are currently zoned commercial too and have been underutilized for a long time.
- The parcels are narrow, rectangular lots, and commercial two-zoning only allows multifamily dwellings.
- The surrounding character land is a mixture of land uses that includes single-family residential. The
- use of the property, the change in zoning, does result in the allowance of the most desirable use of
- the property. The designation of residential two-zoning aligns with the proposed use of the land, as
- the use will be single-family residential.
- Conservation of property values, the use or value of adjacent properties and those throughout the town
- will not be affected in a substantially adverse manner. The reason of this property to residential two
- will have an effect on neighboring properties in an adverse manner, will have no effect on neighboring
- properties in an adverse manner along North Lakeview Drive. Five, responsible development. The change
- in zoning does promote the responsible development and growth of the property.
- The proposed use of the property is single family residential. The zoning map amendment will align with
- the intent of the comprehensive plan and similar zoning along North Lakeview Drive. The plan commission
- action shall be in the form of favorable, unfavorable or no recommendation to town council, which takes
- final action on zoning map amendment petition. Staff recommendation,
- Zoning of residential two is covered in the Ellsville comprehensive plan under neighborhood residential.
- And there are other properties with single family residential, even though the zoning district is C2,
- north of the parcels residential in Monroe County. The area will accommodate the proposed use of the
- single family residential
- Therefore staff recommends a favorable recommendation be forwarded to the town council to amend the
- zoning of the parcels, outline a paragraph one from commercial two to residential two. And petitioners
- representative is present if you have any questions. Okay, does anybody have any questions for Denise?
- Yeah, I got a question. I got two questions. You know I'd have to have a...
- Was, did we rezone that commercial from residential? Correct, we rezoned it commercial three and then
- with the zoning, when we did the zoning map with the UDO, we did away with commercial three and then
- it became commercial two. But we changed it from residential to commercial. I don't remember what the
- county had it zoned when we annexed it.
- Okay, the other question I have is, do we have a square footage for our house? Has to be such and such?
- 960 feet on the first floor. 960? Thank you, that's all I need. Sure, the minimum for residential one,
- the minimum lot size is 8,000 and I think R2, I should have looked it up, it may be
- five or four, but the setbacks reduced to seven feet on this side in 20, 25 in the front and 15 in the
- rear, I think. I think. Memory serves when it was passed in order to, by the planning commission in
- order to make those very southern lots there storage units. I think Kevin Ferris wanted
- one of the lots to be commercial because he was storing things on. That makes sense. So maybe that's
- why it was just left commercial at that time. Okay, thank you. Anybody have any more questions for Denise?
- AJ, do you want to say anything or just answer questions? Okay, does anybody have any questions for
- the petitioner?
- Does anyone from the public have any comments or questions? Seeing none, I will make a motion that we
- forward case number PC 26-15 to the town council with a favorable recommendation. I'll second it. Do
- we have a motion to second? Roll call, please. David Drake? Yes. Zach Michael? Yes. Ryan Skaggs? Yes.
- Pat Wesolowski? Yes. Motion carries.
- Next item on our agenda is the Planning Department update. We will have new business for June 4th and
- for you and Pat, we will be having a BZA meeting next week. What day? 13th. Wednesday. Wednesday. And
- that's it. Okay. And we'll also have a reorganization meeting
- So you may be meeting in the little room there again. Sorry, I didn't know. We're still having those?
- Yes, we're at the tail end. We've got three more we think. Gotcha. Yes. Privilege of the floor, does
- anybody have any comments from the public? Any comments from the Planning Commission? We're adjourned.
