Votes at a glance: Olive Branch Planning Commission, March 11
Summary
Summary of formal motions and outcomes recorded at the March 11 Olive Branch Planning Commission meeting, including minutes approval, consent agenda, two old-business applications tabled, the Crumpler Place PUD amendment, and adjournment.
The Olive Branch Planning Commission recorded the following formal actions on March 11:
• Approval of minutes from the prior meeting: Motion to approve carried (moved by Diane Singer; second by Janice Lewis). The minutes were approved without further revision after staff committed to correct an attendance/seconding error noted in the presentation.
• Consent agenda: Motion to approve the single consent item carried (moved by Donnie Singh; second by Steve Stratton).
• Old business (West Branch Townhomes rezoning and subdivision — agenda items 1 and 2): The commission considered an application submitted by McLemore Ferguson, LLC on behalf of property owner Dauphine McGee to rezone about 0.74 acres from O (office) district to R3 (planned residential district) and to subdivide the parcel into five lots for West Branch Townhomes. Planning staff reported no revised project text or preliminary development plan had been submitted and noted the site does not meet the five-acre minimum for R3 developments. The commission tabled both applications to the April 8, 2025 meeting at the applicant’s request (motion by Donnie Singh; second by Diane Singer). No public speakers were recorded for or against the West Branch items.
• New business (Crumpler Place PUD amendment): Motion to approve the amendment with conditions (see main article) carried (moved by Donnie Singh; second by Kimberly Remack). The motion included increasing masonry façade percentage across structures, requiring six-foot ornamental fencing where specified, and requiring an improved pedestrian-interconnectivity plan to be approved by engineering; final platting and PD review will implement details. The commission recorded one opposing vote; the remaining commissioners voted in favor.
• Adjournment: Motion to adjourn carried (moved by Kenny; second by Janice Lewis).
All motions described above were taken from the meeting record and staff presentation. Where the transcript did not name every voting commissioner for each tally, the summary records the mover and seconder when provided and reports the outcome as announced in the meeting.
