Review of City Council Agenda for October 27, 1998. The following items on that agenda
were discussed.
Item (g) Consider Combination Plat of Jernigan Addition, Plainview, Hale county, Texas, and
variance request was discussed. Assistant Director of Public Works John Berry reviewed this for the
Council. He said Jakie Harris owns this property and it consists of seven acres. Since it is over five
acres, city code requires it be platted. However, as it is not being subdivided and developed he has
requested the following variances: length of a lot, alleys, water and sewer extension, and as it is in
the flood plain, any new construction will not be allowed in the flood plain. The existing sewer line
is at the North West comer of his property line. The Council had no questions regarding the plant
and variance requests.
Item 5. Zone Case 666. Ordinance No. 98-3188. An Ordinance authorizing the issuance of a Specific
Use Permit to operate a flea market in a C-3 (Commercial) Zoning district, generally known as 608
E. 5th Street; Cumulativeness clause; Conflicts clause; Severability clause; And effective date. First
reading. John Castro, Director of Community Services, explained this address was previously used
as a used furniture and second hand store, so the flea market designation is not so different from its
previous use. He said only two written comments had been received, both were favorable. He
anticipated no opposition to this Specific Use Permit. One stipulation is that no "booths" be set up
outside the building itself.
Item 6. Zone Case 667. Ordinance No. 98-3192. An Ordinance authorizing the issuance of a
Specific Use Permit to operate a custom personal service shop in a (O) Office Zoning District;
