Baxter Bulletin from Mountain Home, Arkansas • 2

Wednesday, November 20, 1985 THE BAXTER BULLETIN Page 2A killed 3 persons Planning commission votes against rezoning in Carlile Highlands area said, his clients want the C-2 zoning. Martin may be able to sell her property for a gas station with the C-2 zoning, he said. Anderson said the existing uses fall into the C-3 zoning, and the mobile home problem would exist in either the C-2 or C-3. Solving the mobile home situation would constitute a zoning change, he said. Anderson called for a motion on the question before them.

None of the commissioners made a motion so Anderson made a motion to deny the rezoning request. The motion was greeted with loud applause from the Carlile Highlands residents. After the 3-1 vote in favor of the motion, Crain asked the commission to state its position on the C-3 zoning issue. Anderson said he could only speak for himself, but he would have favored the C-3 zoning. The chairman then called for Nelson to look into the single mobile home situation and come up with some recommendations on the matter.

In other the commission voted to recommend: the rezoning of the St. Peter the Fisherman Catholic Church and parsonage property, 260 Dyer R-l to R-2 (single-, two- and multi-family dwellings) the rezoning of the Matthew Parks property, 1213 U.S. Highway 62 Northeast, R-l to C-2. the rezoning of the First Assembly of God church property, 502 E. Ninth R-l to C-3.

a variance for Buttercup Subdivision, state Highway 5 South, lots 4-10. ulations is not part of the consideration before the commission. He said since the property was annexed as a non-conforming use, that could be carried over with a C-3 zoning. City Attorney Richard Nelson said the non-conforming use could be carried over. According to the zoning ordinance, a non-conforming use cannot exist for more than two years after effective date of annexation, Crain said.

"That part of the law is probably unconstitutional," Nelson said. Ryan said the property has been non-conforming for for about 10 years. The zoning ordinance states a non-conforming use may not be continued for more than two years in a residential zone, he said. Continuing the non-conforming use would be in violation of the city ordinance, Crain said. If the C-3 zoning was granted, the property would not be a residential zone.

Anderson asked Crain if all the present uses of the property could be continued under a C-3 zoning. Crain said all but the mobile home would be allowed. Ryan said the mobile home would not meet R-l, C-2 or C-3. No harm intended There is no intent or desire to hurt these people, Ryan said, but the residents of Carlile Highlands would like to see the current uses be legal. A C-2 zoning would not settle the mobile home issue, he added.

Anderson called for a recess to allow Crain to talk with his clients and see if they would accept a C-3 zoning. After the break, Crain stating mobile homes or a mobile home park could not be placed on the land. The property up for rezoning has some single mobile homes located on it. Under a C-2 zoning, a mobile home park can be operated. According to the city definition, a mobile home park consists of four or more mobile homes, commission members said.

The city zoning ordinance does not include any provisions for single mobile homes. Favor status quo Ryan said Alderman Pat Flippo has concurred with the Carlile Highlands residents. A C-3 zoning would allow the businesses to continue operating exactly, as they are, Ryan said, which is what the residents are after. He said he wanted to dispel rumors that the people in Carlile Highlands are trying to evacuate the petitioners from their property. "Our intent is to protect our own property values.

"We have total respect for the rights of these people. They were there first," Ryan said. He added Crain is "taking a step beyond what is necessary." Crain said a C-2 zoning would put the property to its "highest and best use." If his clients received a C-2 zoning, they would voluntarily remove the mobile homes from their lots, Crain said. "They have not agreed to do that for a C-3," he said. Crain again mentioned a restrictive covenant could be filed with the deed so that mobile homes or a mobile home park would not be allowed in the C-2 zone.

"I have very little confidence in the city's willingness or desire to enforce their own regulations," Ryan said. "I don't agree that the mayor has the authority to make a judgment on whether the city is going to enforce regulations." Not an issue Crain said the issue of whether or not the city has enforced the reg- By MARVON JOHANSEN Staff Writer In a 3-1 vote Monday, the Mountain Home Planning and Zoning Commission voted against recommending the rezoning of property on state Highway 5 South in front of Carlile Highlands from single-family residential (R-l) to retail (C-2). Commissioners Forest McGlothlen, Dorothea Williams and John Anderson voted to reject the rezoning request while commissioner Charles Stroup voted not to reject it. Commissioner Hazel Alexander was absent. The matter will go before the Mountain Home City Council at its meeting Tuesday.

The property is owned by Lela Martin, Richard Gillen, Joan Gillen, Lucky Thorton and Lillie Thorton. John Crain, attorney, represented the owners. Crain said the property had been there for years, and was there before Carlile Highlands was annexed into the city. The annexation map for the subdivision included land that was not part of the subdivision, Crain said. Used as commercial He said his clients' land was probably not legally annexed into the city.

The property has been used as commercial for years, according to Crain, who is also Mountain Home municipal judge. Robert Ryan, a former planning commission chairman, was representing residents of Carlile Highlands who were opposing the rezoning. Ryan said the citizens would have no objection to a quiet retail (C-3) zoning but do not want the C-2 zoning because of the type of businesses which could potentially be operated in that zoning classification. Ryan said he does not dispute the annexing issue because he does not know the record. Crain said his clients would agree to a restrictive covenant in Marion County By The Associated Press Storms raked north Arkansas again Tuesday after a burst of storms Monday night killed three people in Marion County, damaged dozens of homes and businesses and dumped flood-producing rains.

Sheriff Roger Edmonson said the dead were Rheve Burrow, 75, and Linda Gilly 45, both of near Yellville. Their homes, half a mile apart, were destroyed, apparently by a tornado. The other victim was Rudine Wood, 47, whose mobile home in Rea Valley was destroyed, Edmonson said. Jim Keeton, construction foreman in Arkansas Power Light office in Yellville, said about 1,500 customers south of Yellville were without power. The National Weather Service said the storms destroyed 21 structures in Marion County.

The service said the storm track was 16 miles long and ranged in width from 200 yards to a half mile. The twister was spawned by a series of thunderstorms, some moving as fast as 60 miles an hour, which hit Clarksville, Mountain Home and other areas. The tornado carved a 10-mile path through Marion County. The storms poured large amounts of rain on Crawford, Sebastian and Madison counties in northwestern Arkansas. A business and three houses were damaged at Clarksville.

Mayor Ron Pierce of Mountain Home estimated 75 homes were damaged and three mobile homes were destroyed at Mountain Home. Rainfall reports in a 24-hour period ended at 7 a.m. Tuesday included Mountainburg 4.15 inches, Fayetteville 3.42, Natural Dam 4.20, Green Forest 5.30, Odell 4.35, Berryville 3.02, Lead Hill 4.56, Huntsville 6.95, Prairie Grove 4.80, Jasper 3.89, Bull Shoals Dam 4.10 and Omaha 3.20. Because of heavy rain, the weather service predicted rapid rises in several rivers. The White River at Batesville, which was at 7 feet Tuesday morning, was forecast to reach 23.5 feet today, a half-foot above flood stage.

The White will reach 25 feet today at Calico Rock, six feet above flood stage, the service said. The Kings River will reach 36 feet today at Berryville, five feet above flood stage, and the Spring River at Imboden, which is bankfull at 13 feet, will reach 19 feet, the service said. The Arkansas River, largest in the state, was forecast to reach 31 feet Tuesday night at Van Buren, where flood stage is 22 feet; 36 feet today at Dardanelie, where flood stage is 32; and 34 feet today at Morrilton, where flood stage is 30. At Little Rock, a Thursday crest at the 23-foot flood stage was predicted. The service issued thunderstorms warnings Tuesday for Washington, Crawford, Carroll, Sebastian and Madison counties.

A tornado watch was in effect until 4 p.m. for Baxter, Benton, Boone, Carroll, Clay, Crawford, Franklin, Fulton, Izard, Johnson, Madison, Marion, Newton, Pope, Randolph, Searcy, Sharp, Van Buren and Washington counties. North Arkansas also was placed under a flash flood watch. Pierce said most of the damage at Mountain Home was in the southeast part of the city of about 8,000 and will exceed $1 million. Trees and power lines were down along a three-mile path in the city, authorities said.

construction foreman Jim Flippin said crews worked to restore power to about 3,000 customers in Baxter County. "We're estimating damage at $2 million or more; 50 homes were probably destroyed. We've got homes, farmhouses, fences, barns, roads destroyed we've got it all," Pierce said. He did not know how many people were injured. Ray Briggler, director of the state Office of Emergency Services, estimated the number of homes damaged in Mountain Home at 100, including 50 with major damage.

Five businesses were damaged, he said. In Marion County, about 20 houses were destroyed, six were damaged, six mobile homes were destroyed and four poultry sheds were destroyed, Briggler said. He said 10 people were injured, including four injured seriously. Wind damaged 24 homes and a few businesses in Johnson County and one building in Boone County while floods damaged 20 homes near Elkins in Washington County, he said. John Ames, a dispatcher with the Crawford County Sheriff's Department, said a county road bridge washed out near U.S.

71 in the north part of the county Monday night. The weather service said several streets in Fort Smith were flooded. Water was up to the hoods of cars at the Van Buren Community Center, the weather service said. The weather service said U.S. 62 was closed for a while because of flooding between Alpena and Green Forest in Carroll County.

Arkansas 23 north and south of Huntsville in Madison County was closed because of flooding, a state police spokeswoman at Springdale said.

High 90 at Mc Allen, Texas KEY WEST, Fla. (AP) Late-season Hurricane Kate pounded Cuba with 100 mph winds Tuesday, forcing the evacuations of more than 100,000 people, and spawned squalls that knocked down power lines in this island city where residents huddled in shuttered homes and busy bars. The storm hit the capital city of favana about 12: 30 p.m. CST, two Mours earlier than expected, cr ocking out telephones, electric-sv. l'js and television.

About 138,000 people were eva-cauted throughout the island, Cu-ba's official news agency reported. Kate also whipped Key West with 105 mph gusts and later moved into the Gulf of Mexico where the open water's effect on the hurricane was unpredictable, National Hurricane Center forecasters said. "Kate could still be with us several days," forecaster Mark Zimmer said. "It's important for people on the Gulf Coast not to let their guard down," he said, explaining that warm Gulf waters could strengthen Kate. "People are thinking about things Uke Thanksgiving and it's hard to make them think about a hurricane.

But this can still be a danger." The storm knocked down dozens of power lines, snapped tree limbs and palm fronds and submerged roadways in the Keys, but no injuries were reported, officials said. Reports from Havana were spotty, but damage there was apparently more substantial. The Cuban news media reported that Kate's force wasfelt from the northern tip, 90 miles from Key West, to Cienfuegos on the south coast and that President Fidel Castro ordered all civil defense personnel on alert for "possible widespread damage." Nine-foot waves crashed into the waterfront of Havana, a city of 2 million people, said Cuban journalist Jorge Gonzalez Villa in a telephone interview. Power, gas and telephone services were disrupted, he said, and thousands of people were evacuated. State agencies reported no damage or casualty figures, but said damages "could be extensive."
