LORRAINE WESTBROOK NAMED
EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH
Lorraine Westbrook was nominated "Employee of the Month"
for the month of December, 1979.
Lorraine has been a City employee for seven years,/all
of this time, except a period of several months in the' Tax
Department, has been spent in the Utility Department/ She
started as a clerk and has been Utility Supervisor for four
years.
The position of Supervisor in this department is not
an enviable one. There are many and varied problems every
day and when you realize that approximately seventy-five
percent of the utility customers are walk-ins, contact
with the public is greater here than any other department of
the City. Also, the change over from the old billing system
to the new computer, took many long, and hard working hours,
which Lorraine worked as many hours as was needed to complete
a project.
Lorraine supervises ten employees and handles this
job in a very capable manner. She is truly deserving of
this honor and the City of Picayune is very lucky to have
such a dedicated emplo,yee.
Lorraine was presented an "Employee of the Month" plaque
and a fifty dollar savings bond.
SERVICE PIN PRESENTED TO JACKIE MITCHELL
FIRE DEPARTMENT
A service pin for ten years of service to the City of
Picayune was presented to Jackie Mitchell. Jackie works
for the Fire Department.

CITY OF PICAYUNE
WHEREAS, Amtrak passenger trains #19 and #20, the
Crescent operate between New Orleans and New York City on
a daily basis. Many cities along the train's route are
served by the Crescent. Some of them including Poplarville
and Purvis, MS and Livingston and Eutaw, AL, have a much
smaller population than Picayune, which is not served by
the Crescent; and
WHEREAS, Picayune with a population of 13,000 and
being the gateway to the National Space Technology Laboratories (presently with 3,200 employees and increasing
to 4,500 with the Army ammo plant) has great potential
for adding passengers to the train. The many government
agencies at NSTL could utilize the train, which has partial
government funding, for travel by their employees; and
WHEREAS, Picayune has few public transportation
alternatives for its citizens. With the Crescent service,
people could travel to intrastate points such as Hattiesburg, Laurel, and Meridian, or to other points north to
New York including Birmingham; Atlanta; Greenville, SC;
Charlotte and Greensboro, NC; Lynchburg and Charlottesville, VA; Washington, DC; Baltimore, MD; and Philadelphia,
PA. There are also connections in New York for Boston, MA;
Albany, NY; and Montreal, Canada; and

That the Community Development regulations 570.602(c)

January 15, 1980
hardship is present as follows:
a.
In a case wherein the displacee, because of age,
infirmity, lack of employment, poor credit rating
or previously unpaid debts is unable to obtain a
loan to pay the difference between the amounts
available through the acquisition price and relocation benefits and the cost of the standard
I
replacement property.
b.
In a situation in which the displaced person,
though able to obtain a loan to pay the difference
between the funds available and the cost of the
replacement dwelling, would be placed in an untenable
financial position by having to make mortgage payments
beyond his ability to do so.
c.
Is determined by the Community Development Agency to
be appropriate to complete its community development
program in a timely manner.
4.
Limitations:
a.
The maximum authorized payment above the levels provided
by the Uniform Act which will be allowed, shall not
exceed 30 percent of the benefits, allowed under the
Act.
b.
Payments in excess of those authorized in the Uniform
Act will not apply except in those instances wherein
the displacee is classified as being in the low and
moderate income group (income from all sources is at
I
or below the poverty guidelines.)
c.
Excess payments will not be made to permit the displaced person to purchase a replacement dwelling which
is beyond his means because it is larger than he requires,
has more bedrooms or bathrooms than he requires or
contains luxurious features or frills such as patios,
fireplaces in addition to conventional heating, all of
which add materially to the price of the structure.
d.
Exceptions to the above limitations in Section 4 (a),
(b) & (c), will be determined by the Community Development
Agency on a case by case basis.

ORDINANCE 467
AN ORDINANCE TO ADOPT THE FL00DPIAIN AND MANAGEMENT
AREA AND PROGRAM AS DEVELOPED BY THE U. S. ARMY CORPS
OF ENGINEERS.
Be it Ordained by the City Council of the City of Picayune In
Meeting Duly Assembled:
ARTICLE 1.
Statutory Authorization, Findings of Fact,
Purpose and Objectives"
SECTION A.
Statutory Authorization
The Legislature of the State of Mississippi has in Title 17,
Chapter 1, of the Mississippi Code of 1972 delegated the responsibility
to local governmental units to adopt regulations designed to promote the
public health, safety, and general welfare of its citizenry. Therefore
be it ordained by the Picayune City Council, City of Picayune, Mississippi;
I
SECTION B.
Findings of Fact
(1) The flood hazard areas of the City of Picayune are subject to
periodic inundation which results in loss of life, property, health, and
safety hazards, disruption of comnerce and governmental services, extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, and impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public health,
safety and general welfare.
(2) These flood losses are caused by the cumulative effect of obstructions in floodplains causing increases in flood heights and velocities,
and by the occupancy in flood hazard areas by uses vulnerable to floods and
hazardous to other lands which are inadequately elevated, floodproofed, or
otherwise protected from flood damages.
SECTION C.
Statement of Purpose
It is the purpose of this ordinance to promote the public health, safety
and general welfare and to minimize public and private losses due to flood
conditions in specific areas by provisions designed to:
(1) Restrict or prohibit uses which are dangerous to health, safety
and property due to water or erosion or in flood heights or velocities.
(2) Require that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities which
serve such uses, be protected against flood damage at the time of initial
construction.
(3) Control the alteration of natural floodplains, stream channels,
February 5, 1980
and natural protective barriers, which are involved in the accommodation
of flood waters.
(4) Control filling, grading, dredging and other development which
may increase erosion or flood damage.
(5) Prevent or regulate the construction of flood barriers which
will unnaturally divert flood waters or which may increase flood hazards
to other lands.
SECTION D.
Objectives
The objectives of this ordinance are:
'(1) to protect human life and health;
(2) to maintain expenditure of public money for costly flood control
projects;
(3) to minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated
with flooding and generally undertaken at the expense of the general
public;
I
(4) to minimize prolonged business interruptions;
(5) to minimize damage to public facilities and utilities such as
water and gas mains, electric, telephone and sewer lines, streets and
bridges located in floodplains;
(6) to help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound
use and development of flood prone areas in such a manner as to minimize
future flood blight areas; and,
(7) to insure that potential home buyers are notified that property
is in a flood area.
ARTKXE 2.
Definitions

interpretation of any provision of this ordinance or a request for a
variance.
Area of Shallow Flooding means a designated AO or VO Zone on a community's Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) with base flood depths from one
to three feet where a clearly defined channel does not exist, where the
path of flooding is unpredictable and indeterminate, and where velocity
flow may be evident.
Area of Special Flood Hazard is the land in the floodplain within a
comnunity subject to a one percent or greater chance of flooding in any
given year.
Base Flood means the flood having a one percent chance of being
equalled or exceeded in any given year.
Development means any man-made change to improved or unimproved real
estate, including but not limited to structures, roads, bridges, mining,
dredging, filling, grading, paving, excavation or drilling operations.
Existing Mobile Home Park or Mobile Home Subdivision means a parcel
(or contiguous parcels) of land divided into two or more mobile home lots
for rent or sale for which the construction of facilities for servicing
the lot on which the mobile home is to be affixed (including, at a minimum,
the installation of utilities, either final site grading or the pouring of
concrete pads, and the construction of streets) is completed before the
effective date of this ordinance.
Expansion to an Existing Mobile Home Park or Mobile Home Subdivision
means the preparation of additional sites by the construction of facilities
for servicing the lots on which the mobile homes are to be affixed (including the installation of utilities, either final site grading or pouring
I
February 5, 1980
of concrete pads, or the construction of streets).
Flood or Flooding means a general and temporary condition of partial
or complete inundation of normally dry land areas from:
(1) the overflow of inland waters; and

adjacent land areas that must be reserved in order to discharge the base
flood without cumulatively increasing the water surface elevation more than
one foot.
Habitable Floor means any floor usable for living purposes, which includes working, sleeping, eating, cooking or recreation, or a combination
thereof. A floor used only for storage purposes is not a "habitable floor".
Mean Sea Level means the average height of the sea for all stages of
the tTSe.
Mobile Home means a structure, transportable in one or more sections,
which is built on a permanent chassis and designed to be used with or without a permanent foundation when connected to the required utilities. It

or other structural part of the building commences, whether or not that alteration affects the external dimensions of the structure. The term does not,
however, include either (1) any project for improvement of a structure to comply with existing state or local health, sanitary, or safety code specifications
which are solely necessary to assure safe living conditions, or (2) any alteration of a structure listed on the National Register of Historic Places or
a State Inventory of Historic Places.
Variance is a grant of relief to a person from the requirements of this
ordinance which permits construction in a manner otherwise prohibited by this
ordinance where specific enforcement would result in unnecessary hardship.

of good and sufficient cause, (ii) a determination that .
failure to grant the variance would result in exceptional
hardship to the applicant, and (iii) a determination that
the granting of a variance will not result in increased
flood heights, additional threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense, create nuisances, cause fraud on
or victimization of the public, or conflict with existing
local laws or ordinance.
(c) Any applicant to whom a variance is granted
shall be given written notice that the lowest floor of
the structure will be permitted to be built below the
base flood elevation shall be indicated in the written
notice, and that the cost of flood insurance will be
commensurate with the increased risk resulting from
the reduced lowest floor elevation.

of resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads and effects of buoyancy.
A registered professional engineer or architect shall certify that the
standards of this subsection are satisfied.
(3)
Mobile Homes
(a) No mobile home shall be placed in a floodway
except in an existing mobile home park or existing mobile
home subdivision.

potential, the following provision shall apply:
(a) Prohibits encroachment of roads and bridges,
new construction, substantial improvements and other
developments unless certification by a professional registered
engineer or architect is provided demonstrating that
encroachments shall not result in any increase in

residential structures have the lowest floor, including basement,
elevated above the crown of the nearest street to or above the
depth number specified on the ccranunity's FIKM.

BEQUEST BY LETTER FRCM JACOBS AND
BAUMANN, CPA'S FOR ADDITIONAL COST
FOR AUDIT ON EDA GRANTS
February 5, 1980
Honorable Mayor & Councilmen
City of Picayune
Gentlemen:
I
We have now completed the audits of Local Public Works Grants No.
04-51-22018 and 04-51-26757, which were the Criminal Justice Center
and the Street Projects, and they have been forwarded to EDA.
Several problems were encountered during the audit which caused
us to exceed our original estimate of 30 hours and $750. Our engagement
letter indicated that the fee quoted was based on conditions present at
the time of the job survey. These conditions changed prior to the beginning of the audit which caused an overrun on the audit time. Gary
Scarborough, who was the project coordinator, and A. L. Franklin, the
City Manager, left the City's employment and they were the only ones
familiar with the record keeping for the projects.
At the time we began the audit we were presented with a box of records that was disorganized and incomplete. Dot Sheffield and Sue Taylor
attempted to organize it, but since they were unfamiliar with the material
and with Public Works Grants, were unable to complete the task. Therefore,
we had to set up files, search for information and organize it. These were
not the conditions we expected to encounter at the time of the job survey.
During the audit several exceptions were encountered, some of which
were required to be mentioned in the audit report, and some of them were
cleared. An easy resolution of the problems could have been accomplished
had the people familiar with the project been there. Since they were not,
a lot of additional time was requiree in seeking a solution to the problems
and consulting with EDA and others involved with the projects, such as engineers and architects.
Therefore, our fee had to be increased from $750 to $1,950 to cover our
additional time. The extra fee represents approximately one half of the

other questions concerning this matter, please contact us.

I would like to jointly recommend "Captain Don Frierson,
Lieutenant Lorance Lumpkin, and Investigator Charles Stockstill
for "Employee of the Month".
On 8 February 80 at 1230 hours the Picayune Hancock West
Canal Branch .was held up by-a lone suspect. These three
members immediately started an investigation of the case.
Without a break, these officers worked continuously until
1500 hours the following day, breaking the case and making
two apprehensions.

Immediately upon completion of this case, they started
investigating another robbery which occured on 9 February 80
at 0800 hours. This robbery was that of two bank carriers
of Thigpen Hardware. Captain Erierson and Investigator
Stockstill entirely checked out all available leads, Lieutenant
Lumpkin immediately picked up an investigation concerning
the shooting of a juvenile with relentless perseverance.
I
Lieutenant Lumpkin, within several days and many long hours,
determined that the shooting incident of the juvenile was
accidental,relieving a very tense situation in the community.
At that time, he joined Captain Frierson and Investigator
Stockstill, who had continously worked on the Thigpen Hardware
robbery.
On 15 February 80 a very important lead developed on possible
suspects. The three officers worked continously until 1900
hours on 16 February 80 when they made three arrests concerning suspects in the robbery case.
The conduct of these officers is of the highest standard for
employees. They show dedication to their job and community
by working continously without any compensation other than the
self satisfaction of doing a good job. These officers are a
credit to themselves and the citizens of Picayune, and set an
example for all employees to follow.
Respectfully submitted,

MEETING TO BE SCHEDULED BETWEEN
CITY ATTORNEY, CITY MANAGER AND CITY
AUDITOR FOR THE PURPOSE OF DISCUSSING
ADDITIONAL FEE ON EDA AUDIT
At a recessed meeting of the Mayor and Council held
February 8, 1980, the Mayor and Council denied additional
payment to city auditors' Jacobs and Baumann on EDA audit.
Jeff Jacobs, partner of the firm, appeared today
before the Mayor and Council appealing the previous
decision made by Mayor and Council on the additional audit
fee billed to the city by Jacobs and Baumann.
It was the consensus of the Mayor and Council that a
meeting be scheduled between the City Attorney, City Manager
and Jacobs and Baumann to further discuss this matter.
The following is a letter addressed to the
and Council from Jacobs and Baumann.
Mayor
The Honorable Mayor and Councilmen
City of Picayune
Picayune,Mississippi
Gentlemen:
I have received a letter from Doug Watson that was
written at your request, stating that it is the opinion
of the City Attorney that you are not obligated to pay
more that $750 for the audits of the Local Public Works
Grants.
I feel that the problem is threefold. Is the proposal letter that we have written to be considered a contract, were the conditions at the time of the audit the
same as they were at the time of the job survey, and is
the fee justified?
I have not contacted an attorney to determine if
our proposal should be considered a contract, nor do I
intent to do so. Our fees are professional fees the
same as attorney's fees and they are based on the time
required to do the job rather than a contracted amount.
Because the exact amount of time required cannot be known,
especially on a non-recurring or initial engagement, in
giving a proposal we speak in terms of estimated hours
and fees. I hope that this is not a question of technicalities, and that you will determine that the fees
are justified.
I
1*01
March 4, 1980
I
As I stated in my previous letter, the conditions
at the time of the audit were not the same as they were
at the time we surveyed the job. When we attempted to
estimate the time required to do the audit Gary Scarborough
was an employee of the City and was charged with the
responsibility of overseeing the public works projects.
Regardless of his present status, his knowledge of and
familiarity with federal grants was critical to our performing the audit at the original estimated fee. We felt
that he would be of much assistance to us during the
audit, not only in helping us to locate documents, but
in helping us solve any problems that came up during the
audit. However, before we could start the audit Gary
Scarborough left the employment of the City leaving no
one on your staff that was familiar with the projects.
The files and documents related to these projects
were a shambles, requiring much effort in organizing
them into a workable system. We attempted to have your
staff organize these records, but because they were not
familiar with the documents or the project they were
unable to complete the task. Past experience with auditing
at the City indicated to us that it was not necessary for
us to stop auditing and come to the next council meeting
before we proceeded. We felt that the problems at this
time were known by both Doug and Dot and that there was
no one on your staff who could solve these problems before
we proceeded. Therefore, as in the past we attempted to
solve the problems so that, if possible, they would not
have to be mentioned in the audit report. Some of these
problems of course, we could not solve and they had to
be written up in the audit report. One example of our
efforts is the fact that the Final Performance Reports
for the projects were incorrectly completed. Rather than
just writing this up in the audit report and proceeding
with the auditing, we contacted EDA and made arrangements
for them to accept amended performance reports so that
they would not have to be mentioned as an exception in
the audit report.
I think you can appreciate the difficulty in attempting
to answer complicated compliance questions when there is
no one on hand with whom the questions could be discussed.
The only way to answer these questions is to pour through
the records in attempting to find documentation indicating
compliance. Because there were numerous copies and some
conflicting documents in the files it was difficult to
determine which of the documents were final copies and
should be used in determining compliance
I
We feel that we have performed a valuable additional
service in setting up your files on these projects and in
solving some of the problems. We feel that we have always
been fair in our billing and dedicated to our performance.
Sincerely,
JACOBS & BAUMANN

MEETING DECLINED BETWEEN CITY MANAGER,
CITY ATTORNEY, AND CITY AUDITOR FOR THE
PURPOSE OF DISCUSSING ADDITIONAL FEE
ON EDA AUDIT
At a recessed meeting of the Mayor and Council held
February 8, 1980, the Mayor and Council denied additional
payment to City Auditors' Jacobs and Baumann on EDA audit.
It was the consensus of the Mayor and Council that a
meeting be scheduled between the City Attorney, City Manager
and Jacobs and Baumann to futher discuss this matter.
The following is a letter addressed to the Mayor and
Councilmen from Jacobs and Baumann declining to meet with
the City Manager.
March 11, 1980
Honorable Mayor and Councilmen
City of Picayune
Gentlemen:
I
We have declined to meet with the City Manager
regarding the additional billing relating to the audits
of the LPW Grants. Since the additional billing related
to deficiencies in the recordkeeping and requirements
for the administration of a federal grant program, we
felt that to negotiate directly with the Office of the
City Manager could affect our independence as your City
auditors on future engagements.
One of the most important requirements for the audit
of any entity by a Certified Public Accountant is that of
independence. Your independent Certified Public Accountant
must report directly to the Mayor and City Council in
order to insure that the questions of independence in the
audit engagement is never questioned. If the City Manager
is in a position to either approve or deny the billing on
an audit engagement it would cloud the issue of independence.
Accordingly, we felt that our professional responsibility
precluded us from meeting privately with the City Manager
to resolve this issue. We would be happy to meet with the
Mayor, City Council and City Manager at any time to further
discuss this billing.
Sincerely,
/s/ Jacobs & Baumann

Company for the price of $26,400. The truck will be used
to carry the new Vac All unit, also supplied by Lambert
Equipment Company.
The City Manager recommended this purchase because
Dub Herring Ford, the successful bidder on the truck,
withdrew his bid for two reasons: (1) Ford Motor Company
informed Dub Herring Ford that is was not a large enough
dealer to bid on this size equipment; and (2) the price had
risen $3,000 since the council awarded the contract to
Dub Herring Ford.
Since the VacAll unit is ready for delivery now, the
present street sweeper is functioning very poorly and
the price of the truck is less than Dub Herring's adjusted
bid, the Council authorized the emergency purchase.

JIMMY WOOD
The Mayor presented the Employee of the Month
certificate to Jimmy Wood, Public Works Department,
and read the following letter of commendation.
March 26, 1980
I
TO:
FROM:
RE:
CITY MANAGER
BUNSIE SHEFFIELD
I would like to nominate Jimmie Wood as the Employee
of the Month. Most of you know or maybe think you know
Jimmie but you really have to work with him or be associated
with him to realize just how hard a worker and dedicated
person he is. There is no way to tell how much Jimmie
means to my department or to the City.
To give you an example, we were working on a ditch in
Rollingwood Subdivision which called for a 36" concrete
culvert. Jimmie dug the ditch to grade, layed every piece
of the approximate 700' of pipe (they came in 8' sections)
and covered them. The only thing he really did not do on
the job was operate the dragline and he couldn't do that
because he was in the ditch.
April 1, 1980
Page 2
Jimmie's job description calls for him to oversee the
crews in the Sanitation, Trash and Street Departments.
He not only does an excellent job of this but becomes
involved in everything he does. It is not uncommon for
him to get out and do more than the men that are working
for him. Jimmie always learns to operate all equipment
we have, which means he can step in for an operator in
case of an emergency.
All of you know how well he gets along with everyone
that works for the City, so for these and other reasons
I ask you to vote for Jimmie Wood.

JELLYSTONE PARK
ANNEXATION DISCUSSED
Information on the annexation of Jellystone Park
was presented to the Mayor and Council by the City
Planner, Tom Hamilton. Mr Hamilton made a feasibility
study of the annexation following a request from residents
that the area be annexed. According to Mr. Hamilton, the
area under consideration was at one time part of the city
but was de-annexed because the city couldn't afford to
provide the needed services. The water and sewer lines
which extend into the area do not meet city codes and
would have to be improved if the area were annexed. The
total cost to upgrade the water lines and sewer system
and overlay the streets would be approximately $93,892.
The Mayor and Council made no motion for or against
the requested annexation.

In November of 1979, a diagnostic team survey was

NOMINATION FOR EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH
I would like to nominate Juanita Grant as Employee of
the Month. Juanita has been employed at the library for
almost 21 years. During this time she has been an invaluable employee. Her dedication to her work, dependability
and conscientiousness have been outstanding.
She is an asset to the library with her friendliness and
helpfulness to the public. She has learned about her job as
Head of Technical Processes on her own without formal
training. She has also been very helpful in training new
employees.

May 6, 1980

As the staff has changed over the years, especially
Directors, Juanita has been a much used source of Information
about the library operation in previous years. She has also
been very adaptable to change.
Because of the excellent quality and quantity of her
work and the great value of her public relations effort, I
feel that Juanita Grant would be a great choice for Employee
of the Month.

Mr. Douglas Watson
City Manager
City of Picayune
Re:
Jail Security
Sir,
Due to recent escape of four subjects from the city jail,
a review of security procedures has been conducted. The
following steps are going to be taken to improve security
of facility:
1.
Meshwire screens are being placed over all vent areas
and windows on exterior walls.
2.
An improved system for securing keys is being implemented.
Although these steps are being taken, we are still confronted with one major problem, that is, the inability to
observe the jail area. To resolve this problem, I recommend
the purchase of closed circuit cameras to be placed in
strategic locations.
Cost of necessary equipment is approximately $2,000. I
have reviewed my present budget, and do not find sufficient
funding for such a project, but do feel that steps should
be taken immediately to obtain this equipment so as to present possible future escapes. I am available to discuss
this matter further, if necessary, at your convenience.
Respectfully,
Is/ L. L. Lower

COMPLAINTS RECEIVED ON LOUNGE
OWNED BY LEAMON MITCHELL

Lower concerning the Warehouse Lounge:
6 May 1980
I
Mr. Douglas Watson
City Manager
City of Picayune
Re:
39466
Warehouse Lounge
Sir,
Per our conversation, a review of the incidents in and
around the Warehouse Lounge has been conducted. Our
records show that eleven incidents, ranging from fights
to open consumption, have been reported and investigated
by the Department since the business opened in March 80.
During the week of 7 April 80, I discussed the problems
with Mr. Mitchell and made several suggestions to him for
improvement. Some effort has been taken to alleviate some
of the problems, and a slight improvement has taken place.
I feel that Mr. Mitchell's basic problem is in the type of
clientele that frequent his business. I feel that if Mr.
Mitchell takes steps to discourage the routy individuals
from patronizing his establishment, the number of incidents
would drop drastically.
Enclosed is a letter forward to Mr. Mitchell this date
advising him that stronger steps will be necessary by
him to reduce the number of incidents occuring in and
around his business establishment. Any further questions
concerning this matter, I am available at your convenience
for discussion.
Respectfully,
1st L. L. Lower

Re:

Incidents in and around Warehouse Lounge
Sir,
Per our prior conversation concerning incidents in and
around your business establishment, I feel that there has
been some improvement but also feel that you need to take
stronger steps to totally eliminate all the misconduct that
has occured in and around the immediate area of the Warehouse Lounge.
Letters from Chief Lower
May 6, 1980
Page 2
As stated in our conversation, you were advised to identify
and inform those persons which have demonstrated through
their behavior that their patronage is not desired. This
must be done to alleviate the problems that are being created
in and around your business establishment.
If steps are not taken immediately to remedy these problems,
you leave me no other alternative but to refer this matter
to City Council for revocation of your license.
Respectfully,

Employees of the Month
I would like to nominate Charles Stevenson and Cecil
Parker as Co-Employees of the Month. At one time or another
everyone who works for the City comes in contact with these
two and I believe everyone will agree that they do a heck
of a job trying to keep us all satisfied. I believe also
if everyone had access to their weekly report they would
understand the amount of work which they accomplish.
The reason I'm submitting them together is they work
so well with each other it is hard to separate them.
There is very little, if any,work on automotive equipment which has to go to outside garages anymore. They even
do most of the transmission work now.
They have just completed installing a new cab on our
used garbage truck at a savings of approximately $3,000
which is the price quoted for the job. Charles and Cecil
both agreed they could do the work, for they felt $3,000
was too much for the job.
I just think the City is really fortunate to have
men of this caliber and I know they take a lot of work
off me.

REQUEST
JELLYSTONE PARK ANNEXATION

PROCEEDINGS BEFORE THE CITY OF PICAYUNE PLANNING
COMMISSION MAY, 1980 REGULAR BUSINESS MEETING
IN RE:
REQUEST BY MANOR STAFFORD FOR
ANNEXATION OF JELLYSTONE PARK
I
ORDER DENYING REQUEST FOR ANNEXATION OF JELLYSTONE PARK
This day there came on for consideration by the City of
Picayune Planning Commission at its regular May, 1980 business
meeting, a request made by Manor Stafford that the Planning
Commission approve and recommend the future annexation of
Jellystone Park, located in Section 24, Township 6 South,
Range 17 West, Pearl River County, Mississippi, immediately
West of the City of Picayune boundaries off of State Highway
43, and this Body having heard and considered documentary
evidence as well as oral testimony from both the said Mr.
Stafford as well as officials from the City of Picayune
Municipal Administration, doth find that said request for
annexation of Jellystone Park should be denied at this time,
and further finds as follows, to-wit:
That although the City of Picayune Planning Commission
is favorably disposed to the expansion of the City of Picayune
boundaries and limits in the general area where Jellystone
Park is located so as to control the growth and expansion
in that overall area just West of the City of Picayune
boundaries where immediate and rapid growth is certainly
forseeable, the City Planning Commission would not approve
annexation of the Jellystone Park area without including
the entire area East of Interstate 59 Highway and South
of State Highway 43 all the way to the NSTL buffer zone
to the South, and to the Hancock County line to the Southeast.
That, however, this Body finds that at the present time,
it is not economically feasible or practical that the City
of Picayune annex the Jellystone Park area due to both the
actual and potential costs and expenses to the City of
Picayune as an immediate result thereof.
I
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED AND RESOLVED that the request
for annexation of Jellystone Park into the City of Picayune
by Maner Stafford be, and it is hereby denied for the aforesaid
reasons.
SO ORDERED AND ADOPTED, on this, the 27th day of May,

Re:
Criminal Justice Center
Dear Mr. Watson:
I
I read in the paper of the need for a closed circuit television in the new criminal justice center. When I started
this project that was one of the first things recommended
by the LEA, Law Enforcement Agency, and the criminal justice
institute in Illinois. The closed circuit television was
recommended for two reasons, security and less personnel.
Our original plans called for a complete closed circuit
television in the building but as you have heard the finances were a little tight and this was one of the items
we felt we could delete, which we did by means of a change
order.
When Chief Lower came to Picayune he had some good ideas
to make in regard to the function of the building. Basically he had the central control system installed up front
where one person could be responsible for the complete
June 3, 1980
Letter: John Suffling
Page 2
building and thus eleminate the need for at least three
more people. This was a very good idea except the person
would be isolated from the immediate area, but when you
considered this change would eleminate the need for extra
personnel I was 100% for the change which was made.
I want to go on record as recommending that if and when
the City finds the funds for this project, that it be
accepted.
Sincerely,

CARLE COOPER AND COUNCIL DISCUSS
MILLBROOK ANNEXATION
I
At the request of Carle Cooper, owner of a tract of
land described in the recent annexation ordinance passed
by the City Council, the Council met to consider two questions concerning Mr. Cooper's future development.
Firstly, Mr. Cooper requested that his property north
of the lake be zoned R-3 instead of R-l, as the Planning
Commission recommended. Mr. Cooper stated that he did
not know what building trends will be five years from now
and did not want to be tied to R-l zoning if the market
was condominium or multi-family.
John Suffling, Chairman of the Planning Commission,
and Tom Hamilton, City Planner, explained to the Council
that the Planning Commission recommended R-l zoning for
the following reasons:
1.
The 1971 Comprehensive Plan's Future Land
Use Study recommended this area for singlefamily residential use.
2.
The 1980 Annexation Feasibility Study recommended this area for single-family residential use.
3.
Surrounding development has been singlefamily and this use is consistent with others
in the area.
Mr. Cooper then requested that only a part of the
area above the lake be zoned R-3. Council took no action
on this request.
Councilman Gregory H. Mitchell stated that he was
not in favor of granting zoning to areas not yet in city
limits and made the motion to accept the recommendation
of the Planning Commission to zone property as now stands.
There was no second, so motion died on floor.
Secondly, Mr. Cooper asked for a commitment for the
City to build a pump station near the Hillsdale Road manhole to serve the first part of his development south of
the lake. The City Manager pointed out that the estimated
cost of the pump station was $5,000 - $8,000. Also, the
City Manager read Section 906 of the Citys' Land Subdivision
Ordinance, which reads as follows:
"If the subdivision is so located that it can be
reasonably served by the extension of the municipality
or other sanitary sewer system with sufficient line
I
475
June 11, 1980
and treatment capacity to accept the loads that
would be imposed by the subdivision, the subdivider
shall enter into an agreement with the City for the
extension of the said sewer system at his expense
so that sanitary sewer service shall be made available
for each lot within the subdivision. The subdivider
shall submit to the Planning Commission plans for
such extension of the municipal system with a certificate of approval from the appropriate state authority prior to the initiation of construction."
I
The City Manager explained that the cost of development was Mr. Cooper's and the City Council was under no
obligation to provide the pump station since the manhole
was available for Mr. Cooper's use and it is his responsibility to get the sewage to the manhole.
Also, Mr. Cooper asked for a commitment from the
Council for a 12" sewer main to the north section of his
property at the time the property is developed, which he
stated will probably be five years from now. The City
Engineer stated that it was impossible to know exactly
what sewer line requirements will be for that area since
no master plan of development has been drawn despite requests to Mr. Cooper for the past six months for such a
plan. The Mayor mentioned also the City Attorney's advice that this Council cannot commit future Councils to
such a large expenditure, which was estimated to be $100,000.
Mr. Cooper then stated that he felt the annexation
ordinance was lacking since it did not mention what improvements the City plans to make in the annexed area.
The City Manager stated that no major physical improvements
are planned so none are listed, and Mr. Cooper has not
submitted a plan for development so the City cannot list
improvements in the ordinance of which it has no knowledge.

MIKE SHEFFIELD DISCUSSES MOVING
BUSINESS TO DOWNTOWN AREA
WITH COUNCIL
I
Mike Sheffield appeared before the Mayor and Council
asking permission to move his restaurant and lounge business
to the top of the Wilson's Drug Store building located on
West Canal Street. Mr. Sheffield stated the rear door
would be used for entrance and the customers would also
use the parking area at the rear of the building. Mr.
Sheffield assured the Council that he would prevent anyone from entering or leaving the building with beer.
Councilman Russell asked about problems of the location
and that he would need to talk to the other businesses in
the area about their feelings and also asked Mr. Sheffield
to document his plans for the lounge to be presented to the
businesses.
Mayor Thigpen stated that he could not support this
move without first talking to the other businesses in the
area because of previous complaints from other places located in the downtown area.
City Manager Watson suggested that Mr. Sheffield be
the one to talk to the other businesses, located in this
area, to get their feelings and return findings to the City
Manager. The City Manager would then poll the Mayor and
Council for their decision on Mr. Sheffield's privilege
license.

LEANORD BOND
Leanord Bond was nominated Employee of the Month for
the month of June, 1980.
Mayor Thigpen presented Leanord with an Employee of
the Month certificate, $50 savings bond and read the following letter of commendation from Dot Sheffield.
June 26, 1980
MEMO
TO:
FROM:
RE:
Doug Watson
Dot Sheffield
I
Leanord Bond, who has been employed with the City since
August of 1965, is a very conscientious and dedicated
person. He performs his job well and without complaint,
and is always willing to lend a helping hand where needed.
In the course of a normal work week, Leanord has to handle
a number of calls to provide city utility customers with
service in addition to reading gas and water meters for
billing purposes. Also during our remodeling of the annex,
he spent many hours moving office furniture to different
areas of the building and has always helped to set up and
take down the polling booths for the various elections held
at City Hall. A lot of this work has to be done after normal working hours and Leanord has never hesitated to volunteer his service.
In addition to his duties with the City, Leanord is also
a member of the Mississippi National Guard, 890th Engineer
Battalion, Company "D", located in Picayune. This necessitates his being called upon to serve in emergency situations
that may arise from time to time.
The City is fortunate indeed to have an employee of Leanord's
caliber working for them, and I would like to take this
opportunity to nominate Leanord Bond as Employee of the Month.
JAMES BOONE DISCUSSES

James Boone appeared before the Council seeking improvements to the drainage system and slow signs for

JOHN P. JONES MEETS
WITH COUNCIL CONCERNING
UTILITY BILL
I
Mr. John Denver Jones met with the Council concerning
the garbage fee on his utility bill. He stated that about
nine months ago, the garbage fee was added to his utility
bill. He said that he did not put out garbage for the
city to pick up and did not use the garbage bags, so he does
not feel that he should pay for something he does not use.
After discussion, the Council decided that if the City
services were available they would have to be paid for
whether they were used or not, as the garbage ordinance
reads. Mr. Jones stated that he would not pay the fee and
would ask to be cut off all utilities.
JAMES FLEMING REQUEST
ZONING CHANGE ON EAST CANAL STREET
James Fleming presented a plan to the Mayor and Council
requesting zoning change on 1816 E. Canal Street from C-3
to M-l for construction of a mobile home park to be occupied
only by owners. The Planning Commission was in favor of the
change until neighbors in the area voiced their objections,
according to City Planner Hamilton. The Planning Commission
voted against the zoning change and: recommended unfavos-'abjy
on the requested zoning change. No motion was made by
Council so the appeal of the Planning Commission's decision
was denied.
C. L. THOMPSON ASKED FOR
SPEED LIMIT CHANGE
E. CANAL STREET
C. L. Thompson asked the Mayor and Council to raise
the speed limit on E. Canal Street to Highway 43 from
30 miles per hour to 40 miles per hour. The Mayor and
Council suggested a survey be taken of the residents to
get consensus of opinion and then a decision would be
made as to the change.
JERRY CARROLL SUBMITS LETTER
TO MAYOR AND COUNCIL
MILLBROOK ESTATES ANNEXATION
I
Jerry Carroll submitted the following letter from the
Board of Directors, Millbrook Estates Property Owners Association:
June 27, 1980
To:
From:
Picayune City Council, Picayune, Mississippi
Board of Directors of Millbrook Estates Property
Owners Association
Subject:
Annexation of Millbrook Estates
This letter is to reaffirm the desire of residents of
Millbrook Estates to be annexed into the City of Picayune,
per our petition presented to you earlier this year.
There are approximately 45 families in the Millbrook
Estates area, representing over 100 people, who favor
the annexation. We find it unfortunate that one developer
^86
July 1, 1980
Letter
Millbrook Estates Property Owners Association
Page 2
has been able to stop the progress that will take place
with the annexation of our area.
We request that the City Council oppose any further
extension of the judicial hearings concerning the
annexation. The lawyers for Mr. Cooper should have
had plenty of time to prepare their case. Further
delays in the annexation proceedings are certainly not
in the best interests of the residents of Millbrook
Estates or the City of Picayune. We consider the
benefits to both parties sufficient to warrant the
earliest possible resolution of this matter.

Dear Mayor Thigpen:
I wish to express my sincere appreciation on behalf
of Picayune On Stage, for the courtesies extended by
the city of Picayune.
We especially wish to thank Chief of Police Lower for
his assistance. The Chief made every effort possible
to see that our production went smooth.
"Night of January 16th", Picayune On Stage's first
dramatic production was a reality because of your efforts
as well as ours. The use of the City Courtroom without
charge has made it possible for us to continue in a
season now earmarked for success.

COUNCIL DIRECTS CITY MANAGER
TO ISSUE PRIVILEGE LICENSE
The Council will no longer review privilege license
after Councilman Mitchell voiced objections about the
new policy. Councilman Mitchell asked for City Attorney
M. D. Tate's opinion on granting privilege license for
lounges. Attorney Tate stated that the Council has the
authority to make decisions about any matter in the city
and the applications could be handled as they had been
in the past. Mayor Thigpen noted that the council had
earlier decided to review the lounge applications because
of problems encountered with lounge operations in the
downtown area. City Manager Watson stated that he was
presenting the applications to the council for review
as a matter of policy and if the council did not want
to consider the applications they could be handled
administratively as in the past. The council directed
City Manager Watson to revert back to issuing lounge
privilege license as in the past.

BID PROPOSAL FOR LEGAL SERVICES ROSA STREET REDEVELOPMENT
HUD GRANT
For the past twenty years I, Sam Cooper, have practiced law in Picayune with a good portion of my time devoted
to the examination, clearing and closing of land titles. For
approximately one year, I examined titles and handled acquisitions of land in the Mississippi Test Facility in Hancock
I
The City of Picayune awarded the contract for legal
services for the Bruce Street Urban Renewal project to me. I
handled all the legal work for this project. Working closely
with Harvey Nixon, Barbara McGrew and Elnore Aiken, we acquired, for the City of Picayune all the property in the Bruce
Street Project. We handled all the re-sale of the property
as well as the construction of new homes and re-location of
some residents. So far as I recall, there was no need for any
condemnation suit and I do not believe a single suit was filed
in order to acquire title by condemnation. There were several
suits for the clearing of questions of title. In one instance
we filed suit against the Southern Railroad and the Railroad
conceded, without trial, that those persons occupying a portion of the property to which the Railroad had the best record
title, had acquired title by adverse possession against the
Railroad.
From information gained recently from Harvey Nixon, I
learned that I handled approximately $1,900,000.00 of the project money through my office in acquiring relocating and reconstructing housing in the Bruce Street area. Mr. Nixon said
that every penny was properly accounted for with proper disbursement statements from my office.

Employee of the Month for the month of July, 1980.

Mr. Douglas Watson
City Manager
City of Picayune

Re: Employee of the Month
Sir,
I would like to nominate Corporal L. M. Daivs for "Employee
of the Month". Corporal Davis has been an employee with the
Department since February 79. He was promoted to Corporal during the month of May 80 after reviewing all eligible personnel.
I
During the past month, Corporal Davis has demonstrated continously of his dedication to duty in assuming supervisory
responsibilities, and at the same time, carrying on his
routine assignments. Although Corporal Davis performed no
exceptional duties during the month, he is the type of employee that is always there, always willing, and will do a
good job. In other words, he is the type of employee that
makes the foundation which supports both the exceptional and
weak employee on a continous basis. He is the type of employee that is dependable and is consistent in his work habits.
Corporal Davis is a contributor, and not a drag to the system,
and therefore, is an example to all fellow employees.
Respectfully,
/s/ L. L. Lower

LETTER RECEIVED FROM TIM CROWLEY
CONCERNING AMBULANCES AND
The Council accepted and has taken under advisement the
following letter from Tim Crowley concerning the ambulance
service.
August 8, 1980
Mr. Doug Watson
City Manager
City of Picayune
Picayune,MS. 39466
Dear Mr. Watson:
As I have stated earlier, I am considerably concerned
over the discontinuance of ambulance service which is fastly
coming upon us at the end of September. From the hospital's
standpoint there are a number of areas of concern, one that of
transferring of patients and the other would be that of moving
patients back and forth from the Picayune Convalescent Home.
Since it appears at this time there will be no ambulance
service available after the 30th day of September, I would like
to request at this time that you give our hospital first opportunity to engage in an agreement with you regarding the
ambulances which you now own. While we would not have any
intention of operating a full ambulance service, we would perhaps use these ambulances as a convenience to our hospital
in moving patients back and forth from the nursing home as
well as taking them to various doctors offices in the community for special services. Your consideration of this request
will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Is/ Tim F. Crowley

JANE DUBUISSON
Jane Dubuisson, Deputy City Clerk, was nominated Employee
of the Month for the month of August, 1980.
Mayor Thigpen presented Jane with a $50.00 savings bond, a
framed Employee of the Month certificate, and read the following letter of commendation:
"EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH"
I would like to take this opportunity to nominate Jane
Dubuisson as Employee of the Month. Jane, as we all know,
has taken over for Dot in a Manager capacity. She not only
filled this spot, but she also has her own work to do as
well.
I
Jane is a very capable person who does her work very
well. She has a good personality, and is well-liked by everyone who knows her. She never complains, and is always willing
to help you when you go to her office. She has even helped
some people in preparing their budgets.
I think Jane is one of the most qualified people in
her field that the city has. We are indeed fortunate to
have a person of her ability on our staff. Jane will
surely be missed when she leaves the city.

H. K. SMITH DISCUSSES ALLEGATIONS
OF POLICE DEPARTMENT WITH COUNCIL
Justice of the Peace H. K. Smith appeared before
Council at the Mayor's request to discuss his allegations
of Police Department brutality in a recent newspaper
article. Judge Smith stated it was his opinion that
low standards for hiring personnel, lack of discipline
and an incompetent Police Chief were the causes of the
problems he believed exist in the Department.
Justice Smith mentioned cases involving Clinton
Malley, Gerald Burge, Douglas Frierson, the Nicholson's
and Andy Green as proof of his allegations of brutality.
Smith also questioned the size of the Police Department
budget, the length of time it takes to book a prisoner,
crime statistics, police and fire vehicles leaving the
city limits and extent of gambling in the City.
Mayor Thigpen continually asked for proof of Smith's
accusations but was not furnished any. Smith stated that
he was presenting the problem and the City should investigate to discover the proof. The Mayor stated that
he regretted giving Smith a forum for venting his anger
at the Police Chief.
The City Manager stated that he was very proud of
the vast improvements in the Department and supported
the Chief completely.
I
The Police Chief stated that Judge Smith had given
the Department a black eye by his blanket indictment of
all officers. He then asked Smith to state which officers
were brutal but Smith did not reply.

CITY MANAGER REPORTS TO COUNCIL
CHARGES OF H. K. SMITH
I
City Manager Douglas Watson presented the following
report to the City Council:
September 16, 1980
TO:
FROM:
RE:
CITY COUNCIL
CITY MANAGER
CHARGES OF H. K. SMITH
At the last regular meeting of the City Council,
Judge H. K. Smith leveled a number of charges involving
the operation of the Police Department. We have looked
into each of these charges carefully and have the following report for Council:
1. CHARGE CONCERNING GERALD BURGE - Judge Smith
mentioned that Justice of the Peace Sherrer was considering issuing a warrant for the arrest of an officer
for puncturing the tires of a car belonging to Gerald
Burge. The Burges had claimed they witnessed the officer
committing the act. At the time Smith spoke, the Police
Department already had a signed confession to the crime
from another person. The Justice of the Peace who was
handling the case quite properly asked the Sheriff to
investigate and report his findings to him before an
arrest warrant was issued. The Sheriff reported that
he had personal knowledge of the confession and recommended
that the warrant against the officer not be issued. With
that report, Judge Sherrer refused to issue the warrant.
2. CHARGES CONCERNING DOUGLAS FRIERSON - Frierson
charged Officer Buttrey with brutality after one of
Frierson's recent arrests. Despite being told that
probable cause did not exist for the charge, Judge Smith
issued the warrant. During the trial held at Judge Smith's
house, the charges were dismissed by Smith because probable
cause did not exist. On that occasion, Smith made his
comments about excessive brutality existing in the Department. There was no evidence of any kind of "beating".
If there were, Judge Smith had the opportunity to find
Buttrey guilty of the offense as claimed by Frierson.
Frierson also made charges against this officer with
the FBI, which has concluded its investigation and sent
the results to Washington.

City Manager Report

3. CHARGE CONCERNING CLINTON MALLEY - Malley's
grandson was given a ticket on Goodyear Boulevard for
reckless driving by Officer Gibson. After the sergeant
on duty reviewed the tickets that evening, he felt the
reckless driving charge was not warranted and voided
the ticket. The next day Malley waved the officer over
and verbally abused him using obscene and threatening
language. Malley was arrested for disturbing the peace
after he was asked to calm down and would not. Malley
then went to H. K. Smith's court and obtained a warrant
for the arrest of the officer on disturbing the peace
charges. The Chief, the officer and Malley met with
Gerald Cruthird, City Prosecuting Attorney, in an
effort to resolve the matter.
At that same meeting, Malley stated that he was
not receiving his share of the wrecker calls in the
City and the Chief assured him he was now and would be
in the future treated equally with other wrecker services.
Both sides agreed to drop the charges after further talk.
No physical force was used so there is no evidence
of police brutality. Judge Smith's claim that the Chief
offered more wrecker service for the charge to be dropped
by Malley is false, according to Gerald Cruthird and
the officer who were both present. Mr. Cruthird was
called by Judge Smith who asked why Malley dropped the
charges. Mr. Cruthird told him to contact Malley.
4. CHARGE CONCERNING THE NICHOLSONS - Judge Smith
charged that two Reserve officers assaulted a citizen
of the Roseland Park area. In fact, according to that
citizen, the Reserve officers were not-on-duty, not
in uniform and in no way invoked their positions as
Reserve officers in the argument. According to the
citizen involved, it was strictly an argument between
neighbors and in no way affected the Police Department.
5. CHARGE CONCERNING ANDY GREEN - Green received
a traffic ticket tor reckless driving which would have
resulted in a $110 fine. He objected to the size of
the fine when he appeared in Court. Because Judge Pace
had done legal work for the Green's family, he moved
the case to Justice of the Peace Sherrer's court. No
evidence of any brutality was claimed to the Department
or to my office. The size of the fine was the problem
for Green.
I
6. CHARGE CONCERNING BRUTALITY IN GENERAL - There
have been three cases reported to the FBI in the last
two years. They are as follows:
a.
Douglas Frierson - discussed above.
b. Johnny Morrell - was heavily intoxicated and
fighting with officers as they attempted to get
him into a jail cell. The FBI concluded its
investigation in this case over seven months ago
and mailed its findings to Washington. We have
heard no response thus far.
c. Roby Mason - was picked up by the Highway
Patrol on drug charges and placed in the Criminal
Justice Center jail. After doing considerable
damage to his cell, he ignited his mattress and
lay on the floor as the officers approached to
find the source of the intense smoke. Mason attacked
the two officers as they came into the cell and
Ql
September 16, 1980
City Manager Report
Page 3
attempted to disarm one of them. As he choked one
of the officers, the other officer warned him several
times to get off his fellow officer. When Mason
refused, the officer shot him in the leg.
The FBI has also concluded its investigation of
this case months ago. We feel from our own investigation at that time that the officer was justified
since his fellow officer's life was in jeopardy.
Furthermore, Mason's attempt to wrestle the officer's
weapon from him could have resulted in a much more
serious situation than it did.
We have asked the City Attorney to write to the
U. S. Justice Department for the results of the three
cases investigated by the FBI. As soon as we receive
a response from Washington, we will make it available
to Council.
I
CONCLUSION - I find no evidence of Police brutality
in the Department, as charged by Judge Smith. The cases
cited by Smith certainly do not show any pattern of
excessive force by the officers.

Employee of the Month, Fred Jackson
Sir,
On 26 July 80 at approximately 0700 hours, Corporal Fred
Jackson, Sergeant Brenda Smith and Sergeant Allen Mecomber
responded to an incident of an Assualt and Battery with a
weapon. Upon their arrival, Sergeant Smith and Sergeant
Mecomber were met by a subject with a shotgun. While they
drew his attention, Corporal Jackson was able to get behind
the subject and disarm him without the use of deadly force,
thereby, eliminating a very dangerous situation.
Shortly after the apprehension, Corporal Jackson had what
has been described as a mild heartattack. Corporal Jackson
is commended for his professional handling of this incident.
Although the use of deadly force was justified, Corporal
Jackson brought upon himself physical danger rather than
choosing the use of deadly force. He is an example to all
law enforcement officers to follow.

For the purpose of this Ordinance additional
control of some uses is considered necessary
before they are allowed. This type of use is
a Conditional Use. It is a use presumed to
have certain characteristics of operation
which could under certain conditions, be
detrimental'to the neighborhood and to abutting
property. For this reason, review by the
Planning Commission of the technical merits
of such use is required prior to such use_
being permitted to locate on a specific site
within the district.
It is the intent of this Ordinance that such.*
review of the technical factors involved in
an application for a conditional use not have
the form or nature of a public hearing. To
clarify questions concerning potential impact
of such use, the Planning Commission may
hear or request testimony from residents of
the area involved, but arivprrising or posting
of such application is not required or :rfrnded.

of violation of the terms of this
Ordinance. The notice shall further
state that upon request of those to
whom it is directed, technical determinations as described in this Ordinance
will be made, and that if violations
as alleged are found, costs of such
determinations shall be charged against

of floods to outline probable flood plain areas:
Intermediate Regional Floods and Standard Project
Floods. Intermediate Regional Floods are defined as
major floods with an average frequency of occurance
in the order of once in 100 years. Standard Project
Floods are floods of rare occurance which defines
practical upper limits of the flood plain and should
be considered in planning for use of flood plain lands

PLANNED UNIT DISTRICTS
SECTION 901
PURPOSE OF PLANNED UNIT DISTRICTS
The intent of the PUD regulations is to permit greater flexibility via a process of negotiations and, consequently, more
creative and imaginative design for the development of PUD
area than generally is possible under conventional zoning
regulations, It is further intended to promote more economical and efficient use of the land while providing a
harmonious variety of housing choices, land uses, a higher
level of urban amenities, and preservation of natural scenic
qualities of open spaces. Futhermore, it is the intent of
this article to give the developer reasonable assurance of
ultimate approval before expending complete design monies
while providing City officials with assurances that the
project will be constructed and retain the character envisioned at the time of concurrence.
SECTION 902
902.1
ESTABLISHMENT, DEFINITION AND APPLICATION OF
:
FDD DISTRICTS
A planned unit development is a land development
project comprehensively planned as an entity via
a unitary site plan which permits flexibility in
building siting, mixtures of housing types and
land uses, usable open spaces, and the preservation
of significant natural features.
The PUD process allows a much freer placement of
buildings on the land than conventional lot-by-lot
systems. The total parcel or project area rather
than a single lot is the unit of regulation, and
controls apply to either developments. Densities may
be calculated on a project basis, allowing the clustering of buildings to create useful open spaces and
preserve natural site features. Increased flexibility
allows project elements-- housing, transportation
systems, open spaces, nonresidential uses -- to be
interrelated with one another. Traditionally tight,
controls over use districting are also relaxed, per^
mitting mixtures in dwelling unit types and land
uses within the same project.
902.2
I
The following Planned Unit Districts are hereby established:
(a)
Planned Unit District - Residential (PUD-R)
098-67
(b)
(c)
902.3
I
Planned Unit District - Commercial (PUD-C)
Planned Unit District - Industrial (PUD-I)
The Planned Unit Districts may be implemented in the
following ways:
(a)
The City Council may amend the existing zoning
map and change the existing zoning district by
substituting a PUD district in its place, or
(b)
The City Council may designate an area on the
existing zoning map as a PUD which does not
presently have a zoning district classification.
An example of this is an area of land annexed
into the City within which development is anticipated.
The City Council shall amend the official Zoning
Map after the applicant haa followed the procedures established in Section 905 of this Ordinance.
SECTION 903
GENERAL CONDITIONS
Any area may be rezoned as a Planned Unit District if any
one or more of the following conditions are met.
903.1
More than one principal land use is proposed for
development on a parcel under single ownership or
management.
903.2
Separate land uses, which would not otherwise be
permitted to locate within the same zoning district,
are proposed for development on one or more adjacent
parcels under single ownership.
903.3
Exceptions or variations to the size, dimensional
changes in standards required, or other requirements
of the Zoning Ordinance are being sought.
SECTION 904
904.1
SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
Minimum Size: The parcel(s) utilized for the PUD must
contain an area of not less than the following:
PUD-R
PUD-C
PUD-I
904.2
I
1 acre
1/8 acre
5 acres
Location: The PUD shall have access to major streets
without creating traffic or minor residential streets
outside the PUD. The PUD shall also be adequately
served by public water and sewerage and storm drainage systems. Where feasible, private facilities,
utilities or services approved by appropriate public
agencies may be permitted to serve the PUD.
904.3
Ownership: An application may be filed with the
Building Inspector by a person having an equitable
interest in the property to be included in the PUD.
The application shall be filed in the name(s) of the
recorded owner(s) of the said property. Prior to
approval of the Final Development Plan by the
Planning Commission, the project shall be in single
ownership.
904.4
Maintenance Agreements/Homeowners Association (HOA)
(a)
PUD projects shall be approved subject to the
submission of a legal instrument(s) setting
forth a plan or manner of permanent care and
maintenance of such open spaces, recreational •'.»
areas, common parking areas, and other communally
owned facilities. No such instrument shall be
acceptable until approved by the City Attorney
as to legal form and effect, and to the Planning
Commission as to suitability for the said proposed
uses. The HOA is the most widely accepted technique for managing- ci:r only owned property.
098-68
.
.
(b)
904.5
, 7
......
The HOA shall be organized as a non-profit
corporation with automatic membership in the
HOA when property is purchased in the PUD.
This shall be specified in the covenants which
run with the land, which bind all subsequent
owners. Covenants for maintenance assessments
shall also run with the land. Assessments shall
also be handled in covenant form rather than as
articles of incorporation since the latter may
easily be amended. Included in the maintenance
covenants shall be procedures for changing them
at stated intervals since maintenance costs may
change over time. Deeds shall also mention the
rights and responsibilities of property owners
to the HOA. The HOA shall also be responsible
for liability insurance, local taxes, and the
maintenance of all commonly held facilities
through the use of a pro rata share formula for
all property owners.
Conveyance of Development Rights
(a)
While restrictive covenants are commonly used,
private enforcement of open space covenants may
not be sufficient because covenants generally
expire, either within a set time or by court action
upon the snowing of substantial change in the conditions which generally inspired them. A safer
method which is becoming increasingly popular
is the conveyance of development rights to local governments. Using this method, the land
remains in the undivided ownership of the PUD
residents or their HOA. The property is held
for the exclusive use of the residents, and the
HOA is fully responsible for its maintenance.
However, the rights to develop the property are
conveyed and therefore owned by the local government. This leaves the residents and the HOA only
the right to use the land as specified in the
final development plan. Another advantage of
this approach is the greater likelihood of a
more favorable tax assessment due to the greater
assurances that open spaces will remain open
and undeveloped.
(b)
Approval of such open spaces by the Planning
Commission shall be expressly conditional upon
a conveyance by the developer to the City of the
development rights, or the right to prohibit the
construction of additional buildings or other
rights necessary to achieve the purposes set
forth in this Ordinance.
904.6
Planner's and Designer's Qualification: The proposed
PUD projects ihall be designed by qualified professionals under the laws of the State of Mississippi.
904.7
Compliance with City's Comprehensive Plan: The proposed
PUD project must comply in general intent to the City's
Comprehensive Plan.
SECTION 905
905.1
THE PUD APPROVAL PROCESS
Explanation of the PUD Process: The PUD approval process is somewhat different rrom the normal method
utilized by the City Zoning Ordinance for the review
and approval of development plats. In essence, the
PUD process discards the traditional use districting,
self-executing development regulation for a more open
process permitting the application of sound planning
principles to the development of various size parcels.
The site plan review process, guides by a combination
of specific design standards and performance criteria,
I
I
098-69
replaces the self-executing ordinance. Administrative
discretion and negotiations are increased as well as
opportunities for development incentives. A three (3)
step review process shall be used: (1) a preapplication conference; (2) a preliminary development plan;
and (3) a final development plan.
905.2
I
Preapplication Conference: In order that a meaningful
dialogue is established between the developer and the
City for efficient information exchange, there is hereby created a PUD Coordinating Committee composed of the
City Planning Commission Chairman, a representative of
the City Manager's Office, city utility department
managers and any other agency officials as deemed necessary by the chairman. It shall be the chairman's
responsibility to contact the Committee participants,
conduct the meetings, and develop any written documents or correspondence for the City to the developer.
The PUD Coodinating Committee shall conduct at least
one formalized conference between the developer and
the City. The developer shall present preliminary
plans and sketches and basic site information to the
Committee. The Committee shall consider the said proposal and adivse the developer as to the relation of
the proposal to the City's general development objectives for the area and to the policies of the City
and Planning Commission with reference thereto. Thereafter the chairman shall furnish the applicant with
his written comments regarding the conference including appropriate recommendations to inform and
assist the applicant prior to his preparing the components of the required Preliminary Development Plan.
905.3
Preliminary Development Plan:
(a)
The preliminary development plan stage is the
most critical step in the 3-step review process.
It is the point at which major substantive review
of the proposed PUD takes place, and recommendations are made on zoning changes. Finally, it is
the lay citizens only chance for major response
through a public hearing. This step is initiated
by the developer through the submission of a formal application for a PUD (Section 907). Preliminary subdivision plans are also reviewed at
this stage. All other susbstantive reviews by
the City shall also be undertaken at this stage
of the review process.
(b)
The formal PUD application shall be made to the
City Planner. The City Planner and the City
Engineer shall review the proposed PUD in detail and work closely with the developer until
an agreement is reached on an acceptable preliminary plan. The City Planner will convey
his findings and recommendations in writing to
the Planning Commission prior to the scheduled
public hearings. In the event that there is not
sufficient City staff to undertake a thoroughly
professional review of the project, the City
Manager shall retain a qualified private consultant to conduct the design reviews for the City.
I
(c)
The Planning Commission shall review the PUD
proposals along with the written recommendations
of the City Engineer and City Planner and any
substantive issues raised during the public
hearing. The public hearing shall be held in
accordance with the provisions of Article XII
of this Ordinance. The Commission may recommend
changes to the PUD plans concerning, but not
limited to, utilities, drainage, landscaping,
maintenance activities, lighting signs and
advertising devices, screening, accessways, curb
cuts, traffic control, parking standards, height
of buildings and setbacks, and placement'of
buildings, and perimeter dpsi.y'n c 1 error,t-s.
/lv_
(/>0—'
^
098-70
(d)
At the public hearing held by the Planning
Commission, the developer presents his proposal.
The Planning Commission must also have before it
the recommendations of the City Engineer and
City Planner and any employed consultants for
either party should also be present.
(e)
The preliminary development plan shall be forwarded to the City Council for final approval
only after the Planning Commission,Developer, and
City Staff are in agreement with the plan. The
role of the City Council is to grant (with conditions) or deny the zone change, and not to get
bogged down in substantive review of the PUD
design itself. While such legislative meetings
are open to the public, they should not be considered formal public hearings as in the Planning
Commission, The principle that administrative
bodies should conduct public hearings rather than
legislative bodies should be adherred to.
(f)
Approval by the City Council of the preliminary
development plan shall include an amendment to
the zoning map (if necessary) to officially
establish the PUD district for the said project.
The City Planner shall amend the Zoning Map to
show the PUD district.
905.4
I
Final Development Plan:
(a)
The final development plan stage serves several
important functions. It wraps up the design
specifics of the preliminary development plan
in their final form and includes the review of
some additional items not presented in the preliminary design stage. It is the last opportunity
the City staff and Planning Commission will have
to insure that the PUD conforms to the intent of
this Ordinance. However, this stage shall not
be a time to reopen negotiations on matters that
were previously discussed and agreed to in the
preliminary stage.
(b)
The final development plan shall be submitted
within six months from approval of the preliminary
plan to the Planning Commission, which will conduct the professional review of the plan within
thirty (30) days of submission.
(c)
The final development plan shall not vary substantially from the previously approved preliminary development plan. The final development
plan shall be deemed in substantial compliance
with the preliminary development plan provided
modification by the applicant does not involve
a change of one or more of the following:
I
(1) Violate any provision of this Article of
this Ordinance;
(2) Vary the lot area requirement by more than
five percent (5%);
(3) Involve a reduction of more than five percent
(5%) of the area reserved for the common open
space and/or usable open space;
(4) Increase the floor area proposed for nonresidential use by more than ten percent (10%); and
(5) Increase the total ground area covered by buildings by more than five percent (5%).
If substantial compliance with the preliminary
development plan is not established, the new plan
must repeat the public hearing process for review
and changes.
'•*
098-71
I
905.5
(d)
In addition to ensuring substantial compliance
with the preliminary development plan, the final
development plan stage must review all the information required for the preliminary development
plan in its finalized, detailed form. This includes site pland sufficient for recording and
engineering drawings. All schematic plans presented in the preliminary development plan stage,
such as a landscape plan, must be presented in
their detailed form. Any items not submitted
during the preliminary stage must be reviewed,
and any final plats and public dedication documents shall also be submitted at this time.
(e)
The developer, the City Planning Commission, and
the City Manager shall agree on an appropriate
technique for the guarantee of the required improvements within the PUD as provided for in the
City's Land Subdivision Ordinance.
(f)
The final development plan shall be approved by
the Planning Commission and shall be either approved, approved with modifications, or disapproved. If the final plan is disapproved, the
reasons for disapproval shall be stated in writing and made a part of the public record, as
well as presented to the developer.
(g)
Following formal acceptance and recording,
according to the procedures of the Land Subdivision Ordinance, building permits shall be'
issued by the Building Inspector and construction

writing by the developer before recording and
formal acceptance.
Amendments to the Final Development Plan:
(a)
Often, site conditions or other complications
in the physical development stage of the project
will not be realized until after final developmeny plans are approved and recorded and construction has begun. These problems are hereby divided
into minor changes and major changes to the PUD.
(b)
Minor changes are defined as changes which do
not substantially change the concept of the PUD
as approved and are limited to small site alterations such as realigning a minor road or
shifting a building setback slightly. Minor
changes in the location, siting, and height of
buildings and structures may be authorized by
the Planning Commission without additional
public hearings if required by engineering or
other circumstances not foreseen at the required
time the final plan was approved. All changes
will be requested in writing by the developer
and the Planning Commission will put all approved
change orders in writing for the developer and
the official project record.
I
(c)
No minor change authorized by this subsection
of the ordinance may cause any for the following:
(1) A change in the use or character of the
development;
(2) An increase in overall coverage of structures;
(3) An increase in the intensity of use;
.j
(4) An increase in the problems of traffic
circulation and public utilities;
(5) A reduction in approved open space;
(6) A reduction of off-street parking and loading
space;
(7) A reduction in required pavement widths.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS
Responsibility for Enforcement: It shall be the responsibility of the Building Inspector to monitor
the PUD project during the construction stage and to
ensure that the development is constructed in compliance with the final development plan. The Building
Inspector shall review the building permits issued on
a quarterly basis, or more often if necessary, and
compare them to the overall development phasing program.
The density for any one stage of a project shall not
exceed overall project densities by more than twentyfive percent (25%). If he determines that the rate
of construction of buildings substantially differs
from the phasing program or that other major construction errors are being made, he shall so notify
the developer in writing. Thereafter, the Building
Inspector shall issue such instructions to the developer
as necessary, and upon continued violation of this subsection, shall suspend the developer from further construction until compliance is achieved. The City
Engineer shall assist when necessary.
I
Delay in Construction: In the event that no substantial
construction has begun or no use established in the
PUD within the time stated in the final development
plan and construction phasing schedule, the Final
Development Plan shall lapse upon written notice from
the Building Inspector and shall be of no further effect.
The Planning Commission may agree to extend, for a
reasonable time, not to exceed one year, the period
for the beginning of construction or the establishment
of use. If a final development plan lapses under the
provisions of this section, the Building Inspector shall
remove the PUD district from the official Zoning Map
and shall file a notice of revocation with the recorded
Final Development Plan with the Planning Commission.
The zoning regulations applicable before the development was approved shall then be in effect, or if none
existed prior to the PUD, the area shall assume the
A-l classification.
SECTION 907
'SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PRELIMINARY
DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
907.1
Application for a PUD zoning change shall be requested
by the developer as per Article XII of this Ordinance.
907.2
The preliminary development p.lan stage is the most
critical step in the review process. This step is
initiated by the developer through the submission of
a formal application for a PUD which will also include an application for a zone change and an application for a subdivision approval if appropriate. All
design reviews shall be accomplished simultaneously
by the Planning Commission.
907.3
The following written documents are required for preliminary development plan review:

all owners of adjacent property, the names and
registration numbers of the project planner,
engineer, architect, and landscape architect.(b) A statement of planning objectives to be achieved by
the PUD through the particular approach proposed by
the applicant. This statement should include a
description of the character of the proposed development and the rational behind the assumptions and
choices made by the applicant. (This is very important requirement. It forces the developer to
"think out his intentions". Such a requirement is
an attempt to place the burden of considering all
feasible design alternatives on the shoulders of
the developer--to force him to plan.)
I
(c) A development schedule indicating the approximate
date when construction of the PUD or stage of the
PUD can be expected to begin and be completed.

industrial complexes and industrial
parks.
Any use permitted in the 1-1 district.
Any use permitted in the 1-2 district.
Density of Dwelling Units Per Acre of Land: For purposes
of this PUD section only of the Zoning Ordinance, the
base density for the entire PUD shall not exceed eight
(8) units per gross acre of land in the project except
for any specific density bonus increases granted elsewhere in this section.
Density increases shall be governed by the precepts
listed below, which are to be treated as additive, and
not compounded.
I
(a) Open space reservation shall be considered for density increases according to the following provision:
For improved and unimproved common open space
(1)
(2)
(3)
The first acre of common open space per 20
acres of gross, if improved, permits a maximum
increase of eight percent(8%); if first acre of
common open space is unimproved, six percent (67.)
is allowed.
The second area of common space per 20 acres
of gross, if improved, permits a maximum increase of four percent (47o) ; if unimproved,
three percent (37.) is allowed.
Each additional acre of common open space per
20 acres of gross, if improved, permits a
maximum increase of three percent (37o); if
unimproved, two percent (27=) is allowed.
(b) Character, identity, and architectural and siting
variation incorporated in a development shall be considered cause for density increase no to exceed
fifteen percent (157O), provided these factors make
a substantial contribution to the objectives of
a Planned Unit Development. The degree of distinctiveness and the desirable variation achieved
shall govern the amount of density increase which
the Planning Commission may approve. Such variations
may include, but are not limited to, the following:
(1)
(2)
I
(3)
908.3
Landscaping (a maximum increase of five percent
(5%); streetscape; open spaces and plaza; use
of existing landscape; pedestrian way treatmentand recreational areas.
Siting (a maximum increase of five percent (57O) •
visual focal points; use of existing physical"
features such as topography; view; sun and wind
orientation; circulation pattern; physical environment; variation in building setbacks; and
building groups (such as clustering).
Design features (a maximum increase of five percent (5%); street sections; architectural stylesharmonious use of materials; parking areas broken
by landscape features; and varied use of house
types.
Op_en__Sp_ac£: Space devoid of buildings and other physical
structures except where accessory to the provision of recreational opportunities.
(a) Open Space includes:
(1)
(2)
Land area of the site not covered by buildings
parking structures, or accessory structures except recreational structures. (Underground
parking and decks may be counted as specified
further in this Ordinance.)
Land which is accessible and available to all
occupants of dwelling units for whose use the
spare is ir.tf-nded
098-76
(b) Open Space does not include:
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
(5)
Proposed street rights-of-way
Open parking areas and driveways for dwellings
School sites
Commercial areas, and the buildings accessory
buildings, parking and loading facilities for
w
those commercial areas
Unsuitable land as determined by specific
criteria adopted by the Planning Commission
(c) Private open space is generally a small parcel of
land located immediately adjacent to an individual
dwelling unit, owned and maintained by its residents,
and reserved exclusively for their use. In conventional development, private open space is the
traditional yard.
(d) Common open space is generally a larger parcel or
parcels of land reserved primarily for the leisure
and recreational use of all the PUD residents and
owned and maintained in common by them, generally
through an HOA. Common open space should be integrated throughout the PUD project, easily access• ible to all the residents.
I
(e) Public open space differs from common open space
only in terms of legal ownership. It is dedicated
in fee to the local governing body or one of its
agencies and operated and maintained by them.
Public open space in a PUD is designed primarily
for the use of residents of the particular development, but generally cannot be reserved for their
exclusive use due to the nature of its ownership.
(f) As a prerequisite for approval of a PUD-R, a minimum of ten percent (107o). of the gross residential
acreage, plus one (1) acre for each 100 dwelling
units shall be allocated to usable common and/or
public open space. Within this total usable
common and/or public open space area, no more than
one-half (%) of the acreage may be areas covered
by water.
(g) Landscaped roof areas devoted to recreational or
leisure-time activities, freely accessible to
residents, may be counted as open space at a value
of sixty percent (60%) of actual roof area devoted
to these uses. Well designed decks on garages or
accessory buildings may be credited up to one-half
(%) of the total required open space. To be well
designed a deck must be functional and aesthetic
in the judgement of the Planning Commission and
must be structurally safe and adequately surfaced.
(h) Natural amenities such as unusual rock outcroppings,
groves of trees, ravines, ponds, stream beds and •
natural swamps may be retained in their natural
condition and make up one-half (%) of the required
common and/or public open space requirement upon
the agreement of the Planning Commission, Areas
devoted to natural or improved flood control ch. !;nels and those areas encumbered by flowage, floodway,
or drainage easements may be applied toward satisfying this portion of the total open space requirement .
908.4
Maximum Coverage of the Site:
(a) In the PUD-C and PUD-I districts, Section 105.8 of
this Ordinance which requires a minimum of seven
percent (77O) of the site to be landscaped shall .be
followed as a non-negotiable minimum requirement.
I
098-77
A more desirable maximum coverage of the site would
be in a range of 75-90 percent of the site. .
(b) In the PUD-R district maximum coverage of the site
shall be a function of the open space requirements
of Section 908.3 and the building spacing requirements
of Section 908.5
908.5
I
Building Spacing: Traditional yard and bulk requirements
in zoning ordinances are not readily adaptable to PUDs
containing a variety of new housing types and innovative
site designs. The prime objective of building spacing
is the provision of adequate light, ventilation, and
privacy. Such requirements also provide for increased
amenity through view protection and provide for increased access within the PUD. The conventional approach to regulation has been through height and yard
requirements--staggered building heights, setbacks,
side and rear yards, etc. This lot-by-lot approach
is inconsistent with the concept of PUD and would preclude many innovative designs. Concepts such as zerolot- lines, common open space, and mixtures of dwelling
types do not lend themselves to the traditional lotby- lot approach.
(a) Building Spacing General Intent: The requirement
for building spacing or side yards as they are
often defined is based on several related factors.
(1)
Privacy: The minimum building spacing requirement is intended to provide privacy within the
dwelling unit. Where windows are placed in
only one of two facing walls or there are no
windows, or where the builder provides adequate screening for windows, or where the windows are at such a height or location to provide
adequate privacy, the building spacing may be
reduced.
(2) Light and Air: The building spacing provides
one method of insuring that each room has adequate light and air. Building spacing may
be reduced where there are no windows or very
small window areas and where rooms have adequate
provisions for light and air from another direction.
(3) Use: Areas between buildings are often used as
service yards, for storage of trash, clothes
lines, or other utilitarian purposes. Where
this use is similar for both houses, a reduction of building space permitting effective
design of a utility space shall be permitted.
I
(4)
908
908
Kitchens and garages are suitable uses for
rooms abutting such utility yards.
Building Configurations: Where building configuration is irregular so that the needs exP£ es sed in (a), (b), and (c) above are met by
the building configuration, reduced building
spacing is permissible, as determined by average spacing or by measuring spacing where rooms
open toward adjacent buildings.
-6
Building Height: There is no restriction on height except that no building shall be erected which cannot be
adequately served by existing City of Picayune firetignting equipment, and all building plans, more than
four stories in height, shall be reviewed and certified
by both the Building Inspector and Fire Chief that the
structure is capable of being served by existing fireiigntmg equipment and/or is adequately protected bv
y
sprinkling systems.
-7
Building Architecture: The Planning Commission shall
review the architectural plans for each PUD proiect
and may negotiate with the developers concerning any
proposed building designs which are inconsistent with
t h e e x i s t i n g b u i Idin<-q .-=H:-- •-•'1- <-o the PI'D
J ^
098-78
908.8
Off-Street Parking and Loading: Off-street parking and
loading spaces shall be provided in accordance with the
provisions of Article VII of this Ordinance.
908.9
Traffic Circulation:
(a) Both external and internal traffic circulation
systems shall be reviewed for a PUD. Externally,
adjacent street systems and intersections must be
adequate to handle the new traffic generated by
the PUD. If densities in a PUD are higher than
in surrounding development, the Planning Commission
must be careful to avoid overloading existing
facilities beyond their designed capacity. Some
improvements may be necessary in external street
networks, especially at major points of ingress
and egress, and around PUD commercial facilities.
(b) Points of ingress and egress shall be designed to
discourage through traffic on minor streets in the
PUD. Internal collector streets should be coordinated with existing external systems, providing
for the efficient flow of traffic into and out of
the PUD.
I
(c) The design of internal circulation systems must
be sensitive to such points of safety, convenience,
access to dwelling units and non-residential facilities, separation of vehicular and pedestrian--bicycle
traffic, and general attractiveness. Internal streets
must be adequate to carry anticipated traffic loads.
Access for emergency vehicles must also be considered.
This is especially important in PUDs since innovating
site designs may not allow each dwelling unit immediate access to the vehicular traffic system.
(d) Pedestrian and bicycle path systems are becoming
more common in PUDs and are hereby encouraged. They
increase the total amenity and provide alternative
modes of internal circulation. They are also very
adaptable to open space networks. The most important
design consideration for pedestrian and bicycle paths
is segregation from vehicular traffic, especially
at intersections. Street crossings should be held to
a minimum and be in the center of a block or utilize
underpasses where feasible.
908.10
Public and Private Streets
(a) All streets shall be constructed according to
City requirements as specified in the Land Subdivision Ordinance and other ordinances, regulations
and policies of the City of Picayune.
(b) Private streets may be permitted; however, there
must be some advantage to the future property owners of the PUD, shown by the developer, in order
to achieve City approval of private streets.
(c) Standards of design and construction for streets,
both public and private, within a PUD-R district
may be modified as is deemed appropriate by the
Planning Commission. Right-of-way width and street
roadway widths may be reduced as deemed appropriate,
especially where it is found that the plan for the
PUD-R provides for the separation of vehicular and
pedestrian circulation patterns and provides for
adequate off-street parking facilities.
I
(d) If the owners in the future should request that the
private streets be changed to public streets, the
owners shall agree that, before acceptance of such
streets by the City of Picayune the owners will "bear
full expense of reconstruction or any other action
necessary to make the streets fully conform to the
requirements applicable at that time for public
streets, prior to dedication and acceptance. Finally,
098-79
the owners also agree that these streets shall be
dedicated to public use without compensation, to
the owners and without the owner's expenses being
reimbursed in making such streets conform to the
requirements applicable at that time for public streets.
908.11
Perimeter Requirements
(a) The Planning Commission shall review and analyze
the potential aesthetic, environmental, and economic consequences of the interface of the PUD
project with the existing or proposed surrounding
areas.
I
(b) It is the intent of this sub-section to provide
maximum flexibility to the developer and the Planning Commission in regard to the provision of any
appropriate perimeter safeguards.
(c) Section 308 of this Ordinance may be used, or other
tailormade solutions may be designed to accomodate
particular problems.
908.12
Nonresidential Development
(a) PUD-R district
(1) Nonresidential development (both commercial
and noncommercial) may be permitted in the
PUD-R project (see Section 908.1). Nonresidential development within the PUD-R district
shall be primarily designed to serve the PUD-R
project.
(2) When nonresidential uses are proposed, the
developer shall furnish the Planning Commission
a copy of a market analysis for the said nonresidential uses. If the market analysis shows
that the market area for the proposed nonresidential development is larger than the
PUD-R project, the developer and Planning
Commission shall determine the relationship
between the residential area and the nonresidential area.
(b) PUD-C district: If it is determined from subsection
(a) above that a commercial area is appropriate,
it shall be established as a PUD-C district—separate from the PUD-R district, but closely coordinated and designed together.
908.13
Landscaping and Environmental Design
(a) The developer is hereby encouraged to design any
sizable PUD-R project utilizing an environmental
design method as commonly used by land planners
and landscape architects.
(b) Anatural drainage and grading plan shall be submitted for preliminary development plan review
The developer's grading plan should confine excavation, earth-moving procedures, and other changes
to the landscape and natural drainage system in
order to insure preservation and prevent despoliation of the character of the area to be retained
as common open space, in particular, but also of
the larger project area as well.
(c) The landscape plan and grading plan should also
provide for the preservation of trees groves
waterways, scenic points, historic spots, and'-.
other community assets and landmarks

SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT
EMERGENCY DECLAREI)
The following letter, from.Buddy S. Broadway,
was presented to the Council:
September 29, 1980
Honorable S. G. Thigpen, Jr., Mayor
City of Picayune
203 Goodyear Boulevard
Picayune, MS
39466
Re:
Dear Mayor Thigpen:
I have made an inspection with Mr. Charles Stewart,
the City Engineer, and found that a state of emergency
exists at the city's Sewage Treatment Plant.
The distribution arms on the trickling filter has
ceased to function thus destroying the ability of the
plant to function. I know of no acceptable alternative
method of treating the incoming sewage.
The polishing pond can hold the sewage for a few
days, but will not give it any appreciable treatment and
could quickly cause a serious health hazard downstream
from the plant.
If we can help in any way, please advise.
Sincerely,
/s/Buddy S. Broadway

NANCY DURHAM
Nancy Durham, Social Worker for Community Development,
was nominated Employee of the Month, for the month of

Nixon, Director, Community Development:
I
TO:
From:
RE:
Douglas Watson, City Manager
Harvey Nixon, Director, Community Development
I nominate Nancy Durham, Social Worker for "Employee
of the Month." I think that she is well deserving of this
honor because of her activities in working with disadvantaged
persons, in helping them to become self sufficient and self
supporting. She has been an asset to the department in
providing training and technical assistance to new employees
while maintaining her full work load.
Nancy takes on emergency cases very ambitiously and
works tirelessly until the job is done. For designation
purposes, I cite two cases of families being burned out.
November 4, 1980
Nancy Durham
Page 2
Nancy worked endless hours to re-house the victims.
There is no emergency that is too great or too small
for Nancy to work with.
I feel that this is the type employee that the City
and certainly the Department is proud to have as a part
of their staff.

CARLE COOPER
Carle Cooper appeared before the Mayor and Council once
again with a proposal of purchasing pipe for connecting his
property with city sewer lines, if the City would bear the
cost of installation. Cost of labor approximately $18,000
to $20,000. Mr. Cooper stated that the Planning Commission
felt that it would be to the City's advantage to work
something out with him, if possible, so that the property
could be developed in an orderly manner. However, the
City Planner pointed out that the Planning Commission was
not endorsing the position of Mr. Cooper. Mr. Cooper asked
about only the southern portion of the property being annexed.
The Planning Commission suggested that either all of the
property or none at all be annexed.
Mayor Thigpen stated that he felt the new subdivision
ordinance should be followed.
Councilman Mitchell stated that care should be taken
in using taxpayers money.
No action was taken on this property.

DAN BEECH
Dan Beech, Supervisor Sewage Treatment Plant, was

Engineer. The following letter for the City Engineer was
read by Mayor Pro-Tem Russell:
TO:
FROM:
RE:
CITY MANAGER
CITY ENGINEER
Dan Beech's nomination for Employee of the Month
is based on his recent display of leadership under
conditions other than routine.
As you know our trickling filter is undergoing
major rebuilding, requiring extra effort from the temporarily expanded crew at the Treatment Plant. Dan Beech,
as supervisor, was responsible for achieving this extra
effort.
Special problems related to placement of manpower,
arrangement of materials and use of equipment were solved
by Dan without unnecessarily involving others.
These recent events along with his past efforts should
more than justify Dan's election to Employee of the Month.
Dan was presented a $50 savings bond and a framed
Employee of the Month certificate. The city is certainly
proud to have Dan as an employee.

PICAYUNE DRUG CO. APPEALS
The following letter was submitted to Council from
Picayune Drug Co. appealing assessment of Personal Property:
November 18, 1980
Dear Mr. Gray,
Thomas Casey, owner of Picayune Drug Co., filled out
the assessment of Personal Property when it came in thinking
he was helping me. When the City Tax Return arrived I knew
something was wrong but did not know what until I talked to
you then went to Thomas asking where he got the figures he
sent in. He had found the inventory taken last Jan. 1 which
was retail cost of the RX & Mdse. We have a mark-up of from
50% down to 257o - the larger on gifts - lesser on other mdse.
We take the retail figure and take 33 1/3% off to get the
cost of the mdse. He took the furniture & Fixtures from
my small ledger not knowing to flip over a few pages to
take the Accumulated Depreciation off. Below is a revised
assessment of the personal property. Would appreciate it
if you can get this straightened out for us and very sorry
it all happened but Thomas is a new owner and is having a
struggle to get the store going and is succedding thru lots
of hard work and long hours. He naturally does not know
book-keeping but is learning lots thru trial & error-most
of the time error-but I take care of all the business part
of the store for him as I did for the former owner. Thank
you again for the consideration you have showji me.

Re: Personal Property Tax Bill
#P 19 LII
Dear Mr. Gray:
I am writing this letter to request a review and adjustment
of the above referenced tax bill. The only personal property
which we own in Picayune consists of three racks of bubble
gum type vending machines located in retail establishments.
The cost of this equipment was:
2 racks @ $260.00 = $520.00
1 rack @
60.00 =
60.00
For income tax purposes we have already depreciated these
machines 407».
Since this is considerably lower than the assigned valuation,
I would greatly appreciate your assistance in having this
tax bill adjusted.

accumulations of water" to enter their homes. Other of
the undersigned have come close to the same fate. As
a result, we request help as soon as possible.
