I. Mark called the meeting to order and introduced the Board members present.

II. Lt. Woo presented a neighborhood police report:

• Property crime is down 38%
• The leading crime is larceny – especially from sheds and vehicles
• There are no major crimes to date
• He encouraged neighbors to keep sending videos of crimes
• He mentioned the gunfire reports and the police are trying to track these down; they have mostly been in Forest Hill
• There is a special program, Light Up the Night which focuses on neighbors keeping on porch lights during dark hours (consider changing to 500 lumens)
• Lt. Woo is on NextDoor if you need to contact him

III. Lori Markum gave an update on the 1901 Georgia property

• If the single family home has a 25 foot setback on both Kansas and Greenville, that only leaves 20 feet to build
• The proposal is a 16 foot setback off of Kansas (9 foot setback reduction)
  • The Board of Zoning Appeals meets on January 2
• The proposed house is less modern with no rooftop deck. It is more of a farmhouse/craftsman style home.

IV. Greenville/Carter rezoning has to go through the Planning Commission

• Chris Leesfeld and wife, Jodie are requesting the City to vacate part of the end of the road on Greenville as well as the west alley Carter Street
• They will live on a lot there and develop the other 4 lots.
• Concerns about sewage and future development were brought up.
• Sewer from the end on Carter would cause potential issue and each house would have a grinder pump.
• Questions were raised about how to mitigate and avoid wetlands and how to get back to original grade.
• Mark and Chris will plan an organized walk there as a site visit.
• A public comment will take place at the Planning Commission meeting and then at the City Council meeting.
