2( TUESDAY SEPTEMBER D, 1960 The Planning Commission, at a special n:e eting on Fri day, September 9, 1960, considered the layout for development of property belonging to Mr. J. Ben Davis which lies outside the City adjacent to Route 220 and Smith River. Review was given this rmtter from the standpoint of the requirement of City ordinances that zoning covenants be established by the developer and the requirement that the development conform to the City subdivision ordinance. The layout map is identified as being one prepared by J. A. Gustin and Associates, C. C. E., and dated August 20, 1959. The Corrnnission, after much discussion of this subject, approved the layout as presented and voted unanimously to recommend to Council the inclusion of the following item3 in the contract with Mr. Davis. 1. That a minimum of a 20-foot setback be placed on the pr"operty with acknawledgIOOnt and approval to the increased setback distances from Route 220 as planned by the developer and detailed on the layout map. 2. That the uses permitted on the property be those uses as listed in the present draft of the proposed zoning ordinance under the classi- fication of a C-l Commercial district. For specific reference copies of a list of such permitted uses are to be placed in the files of the Commission and of the CivJ Manager am forw.arded to the developer. 3. That minimum parking requirements of one car per 100 square feet of floor area used for selling be established on the property and be available to each separate business establishment. It was the understanding of the Commission that the map accompanying this report and showing a proposed setback line with parking area would be recorded. Also shown on this map is a statement by Mr. J. Ben Davis which would establish the general use and setback on the property. This state- ment, it was felt, is not as detailed as the Commission would like and does not embrace the minimum parking requirements, therefClt'e the Commission recommends the above provisions be included in any contract with the developer to supplen:ent the recorded covenants. The basis fClt' the decisions by the Commission in this matter was the proper development of and future planning for the fringe area of the City, with particular emphasis to the area from the south corporate limits to the river as it is related to zoning and land use immediately ins ide the corporate limits of the City. Your Commission respectfully submits the above recommendation for Coumil's further consideration. Upon motion, duly seconded and unanimously carried, Council accepted and approved (for execution by the City) said agreen:e nt or contract, subject to the approval of the City Attorney. Consideration was continued of City Manager Hirst's report pertaining to joint City- County prisoner detention and pertaining to a recent repClt't that the Henry County
