The second area for discussion was acreage at the Intersection of

reference attached. There is a Neighborhood Commercial Zone presently
at that corner and property owners are asking that the entire strip be
zoned as N.C.
The final area is located at Fairmont Parkway and Canada in Outlot 712,
property owner is asking that it be zoned as N.C.
The Commission has decided that Block 93 and acreage at the
intersection of Fairmont Parkway and Underwood be considered for map
review.
There was lengthy discussion on the property at Fairmont and Canada.
Mr. Dick Gregg, attorney for Mr. Millar, stated that supposedly a
member of Council the night the map was adopted, made a motion for the
Tract to be flagged as a map review and not a rezoning, there was a
second made and the motion was carried.
Mark Lewis said the written Council minutes did not reflect this
motion. He will review the original tape of that meeting and if
Council did give permission, the Commission will abide by it. If there
is no such motion on the tape, the Commission will treat this as a
rezoning. This issue could be addressed at the next Public Hearing on
November 19, 1887

Section 10 - 1011 Prohibited Signs
Staff discussed such signs as Garage Sale signs, elevated
signs that must be as far off the property line as its
heigth, billboards, signs that may be several miles away
from the business - will this decrease revenues?
Knox Askins noted that the purpose of the Ordinance is not to
prohibit all signs, only to make the signs neater and our city
