Subdivision and the setback is another
30 feet from the buffer line for a total
of 130 feet minimum from the property
line joining Wyngate homes to where
anything could be built. This is an
increase
from the 50 foot buffer zone that is
required by the Rainbow City Zoning
Ordinance. People that were present speaking in
opposition to the project were:
Wyngate; Leanne Ivey,
Wyngate; and Anne Hutchins, of
setbacks, traffic and noise. Mike Johnson wants a 50 foot setback from the
buffer zone instead of 30 feet. Mrs. Hutchins said she would like the same
considerations that the people of Wyngate
have received concerning the buffer
zone.
Wiley McLain suggested that the people get together and present a list
to
the Building Department with their
concerns and request from the City. These
requests will be looked at and if
feasible they will be incorporated into the plans
for the Industrial Park. Larry Harris made a motion to extend the
setback from
the buffer zone another 20 foot from the
original plans making it 50 feet along
