CITIZEN COMMENTS
Kent Elliot, 108 N. Parvin Street, requested the Town Council to consider naming the park on
Parvin and Broadway after Joe Templin due to all he has done for the Town.
Items for Individual Consideration:
11. Conduct a public hearing and consider and act upon a request for a Planned
Development for an existing Professional Office on Bryant's First Addition, Block
15, Lot 1 R, on 0.6± acre, to accommodate a right-of-way acquisition along First
Street, located on the northeast corner of Coleman Street and First Street. (ZONE-
24-0026) (DH)
Mr. Hoover introduced the item stating the purpose of the request is to create a Planned
Development for an existing professional office to accommodate the acquisition of right-
of-way along First Street. The Town is acquiring right-of-way along First Street that
would render the existing development nonconforming. The current zoning is Downtown
Office and the permitted uses within this Planned Development will be consistent with
Downtown Office. The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended
approval at their January 21 meeting with no responses received from the notices. Staff
is recommending approval.
