ON LOT 1, BLOCK 5, HALTOM RICH LAND ADDITION. (LOCATED AT 6600
BRILEY DRIVE)
APPROVED

the rear building line and the reason for the request is to protect his boat from
the harsh elements of the weather.

BA 97-30
REQUEST OF CLAUDE GREEN & ASSOCIATES FOR A VARIANCE FROM
THE PARKING REQUIREMENTS ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 8100
BEDFORD-EULESS ROAD
APPROVED
Chairman Duer opened the public hearing and asked any proponents to come
forward.
Mr. Claude Green, 7051 W. Cleburne, Ft. Worth, TX 76133, presented this
request for Garvon, Inc. He explained this 30,000 square foot building is
required to have 121 parking spaces in order to function as a retail shopping
center. When originally constructed, there was sufficient parking; however, with
the Loop 820 expansion, he lost 46 spaces. The proposed use for this facility
will be furniture sales. He explained that this company doesn't use 18 wheeler
trucks, they use bobtails, so the loading dock will not be necessary.
Mr. Mike Livingston, Garvon, Inc., stated that J. C. Penney's will be vacating this
property in the coming months. The proposed occupant, Charter Furniture, is an
established furniture sales facility located in Dallas that is expanding. This
company will not keep any inventory at this location - they have a central
2
warehouse facility where merchandise is shipped from. Warehousing at this
location will be minimal.
Chairman Duer called for any additional proponents. Seeing none, he called for
any opponents. Seeing none, the public hearing was closed.
Mr. Cypert made the motion to approve BA 97-30 subject to 72 parking spaces
total and this variance only for Charter Furniture; stating if Garvon's contract with
Charter falls through, the board would have to hear this case again - protection
from a different type use coming in that would require additional parking spaces.
Ms. Martin seconded the motion and it carried 5 - O.
