Plan tabled for lack of information

A large scale development plan for a commercial development by Pat Tobin was again tabled by Planning Commission members Tuesday as the engineer presenting the changes requested did not have answers to questions planners asked nor did he have information requested at the last tech review meeting.

Brett Watts, an engineer with Bates & Associates, said he was new to the project.

"Our concern is that this is not even close to the plan we approved," Dr. Karen Sherman, planner, told Watts.

"I personally haven't talked to the owner," Watts said. "I didn't even work for Bates. My boss was going to be here but had a family emergency and the project manager is at another planning commission meeting."

Sherman moved to table the request; planner Michael Wilhelm seconded it. The vote was unanimous to table.

"Mr. Tobin should be aware of what we brought up because he did bring up these items at tech review," planner Jerry Burton said. "We need it on the drawings."

In other business, planners approved home occupation requests for Cynthia Stewart and daughter Georgia Stewart Perez for 626 Asboth St., Enrique Bonilla at 1305 Chitwood St., Omar Contreas at 606 Blair Circle and Greg Pickens at 1402 Robins St.

Planners, in the Board of Adjustments, approved a variance request for John Van Houden at 2055 Patterson Road, to construct a 30- by 40-foot metal building on their property, reducing the side yard from 20 to 10 feet.
