Rezoning discussion moved to next Tyrone meeting By MICHAEL
BOYLAN
The Tyrone Town Council met last Thursday but the meeting, which was to feature more discussion on the possible rezoning of the Smith estate by developer Burt Clark, was fairly uneventful. Councilman Raymond Bogenschutz was unable to attend the meeting and since councilman Ronnie Cannon is abstaining from voting on the matter, there were not enough coucilmembers for a quorum and a decision could not be made. Most of the people who have concerns about the rezoning heard that the matter would be postponed until the next meeting but several people were there and wished to voice their opinion. The matter will be discussed and a decision will be made at the Nov. 7 meeting. The council did vote unanimously to approve an ordinance prohibiting parking on Dogwood Trail, Palmetto Road, Tyrone Road and Castlewood Road. Councilman Paul Letourneau said that those roads are major thoroughfares and that they did not want trucks or big rigs parked on them. The council also unanimously approved staying in the program for fire impact fees. The council had asked town manager Barry Amos to invite Chief Jack Krakeel to this meeting to discuss the use of fire imapct fees collected and to see if Tyrone could get scheduled improvements to their local fire program moved up. Krakeel was out of town the evening of the meeting at a convention in Colorado but did send a response which featured the improvements that have been made and scheduled. Letourneau said that he was pleased with the protection of the county fire department and their response time and supported the program. Cannon agreed that the county fire department provided good service but that the town should get improvements done before 2016 since they have contributed a third of all the fees collected by the county. In the staff comment section of the meeting, Amos said that the annex request from Florida Rock got clearance from Fayette County with no objections. Amos also told the council that Publix got thier grading permit but a groundbreaking date has yet to be set.
