Brad Smith of TBG Residential, petitioner’s representative, presented the rezoning request for
property located on Heather Drive. He stated that they initially request to rezone the property to R-
4 to build multi-family units for a senior adult residence complex, but, after consideration of the
public’s interest, they are now proposing to rezone the R-5 portion of the property to R-3. He stated
that they held a charrette with the residents of Pecan Ridge to inform them of their development
plans and try answer questions and to dispel any rumors of the type of complex they were pursuing.
He stated that zoning the property to R-3 would require them to obtain a special use from the Board
of Zoning Adjustment, but the zoning would remain basically single family residential and allow
them to build the complex under the board’s restrictions. He read a letter from Ms. Jeanette, an
adjacent property owner who could not attend the meeting.
Chairman Smith opened the public hearing.
Eleanor Ballow, 814 Dee Drive, spoke in favor of the rezoning to build complex for senior adult
apartments as proposed. She stated that she hopes additional sidewalk for pedestrian will be
implemented.
Mayor Gillespie addressed Ms. Ballow’s comment stating that there is no specific zoning to enforce
senior adult apartments in multi-family zoning.
Alicia Crum, spoke in favor of the proposal for senior adult housing. She spoke on the need of
senior adult homes now and in the future. She stated that in her profession she assists clients to
transition from nursing homes and rehabilitation homes to independent living and often run into
difficulty because of lack of availability.
Jon Lee Finnegan, 211 Deer Trace, inquired about R-3 zoning and which area of the property
proposed for rezoning. Chairman Smith explained that R-3 zoning is used single family residential
and allows for multi-family use as permitted for approval by the Board of Zoning Adjustment.
Kevin Buckner of TBG Residential spoke to clarify the area proposed for rezoning. He stated that
the initial request was to rezone approximately seven acres of the mixed zone property to R-4. Since
their submission they are only requesting to rezone the current R-5 area of the property to R-3 which
encompasses portions of Lots 2 and 3.
After no further comments, the hearing for public comments was closed.
Mr. McAuley introduced a resolution recommending approval of the zoning amendment to rezone
Heather Drive (Grand Haven) from B-2 and R-5 to R-4 and moved for its approval. Mrs. Carpenter
seconded the motion.
With the petitioner’s request to change what was initially presented, Mr. McAuley moved to hold
