NEW BUSINESS:

I.  PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING CHANGE PETITION :  The petitioner asked to delay the zoning change request.  The petition will be added to the agenda for the August 25, 2004 Planning and Zoning meeting.   All of the required announcements will be recompleted before the next meeting.  Chairman Jones had a comment on the application for the zoning change.  Chairman Jones stated that the request letter would need to specify that the request is for a zoning change from Industrial to was a planned development project, not mixed use.  Chairman Jones commented that "mixed use" was concerned primarily with the land use, not for the zoning.  He requested that the appropriate change be made.  Resident from  36 Old Ferry Road , stated that the requirements for the sign of the rezoning was not acceptable according to the codes.  Chairman Jones excused residents that did not want to stay for the rest of the meeting which pertained to the Hotel Plans.

II.  REVIEW HOTEL PLANS :  Member Tucker lead the review of the hotel plans.  The hotel plans changed from having 86 units to 92 units on the hotel.  The pool and the spa appeared to be too close to the property line on the plans that were presented.  Member Tucker suggested that they move the pool and spa location.  There was also discussion about the traffic and the turn lane on Eglin Parkway .  As of this time there is no requirement for a "right turn only" lane at the Eglin Parkway intersection according to the DOT.  If a problem arises they will consider placing a sign in this location.  There was also discussion on the traffic problems on Richburg, to include the existing problems on this road during the school year.  It was agreed that extending Richburg to 100 feet and including a 150 foot left hand turn lane on Richburg at the Eglin intersection would solve this problem.  A motion was made by Member Dove-McLain to approve new hotel plans with the following changes:  1. Revise the pool and spa area to meet ordinance setbacks, 2.  Provide a center left-turn lane to service the Richbourg Avenue entrance/exit if desired by the town at a future date, 3.  Extend the right hand turn lane on Richburg at the Eglin intersection to 150 feet.  The motion was seconded by Member Tucker and passed unanimously.

ADJOURNMENT:  A motion was made by Member Wagner to adjourn the meeting.  Member Dove-McLain seconded the motion and passed unanimously.  The meeting was adjourned at 6:35 p.m.
