Page 2 p & Z Minutes November 14, 1991 Lewis Hund with Ernest Hedgcoth Consulting Engineers, came forward to represent Mr. Huggins. He stated they agree with all the engineer's comments except for the sidewalks. He said the State Highway Department plans to widen the freeway there and they would rather not build the sidewalks at this time. Vice Chairman Barfield asked if they would agree to putting in the sidewalks after the road work has been finished. Mr. Hund said they would agree to that. Vice Chairman Barfield said the plat shows a 30 foot front building line, but the city only requires a 25 foot front building line. He asked if they would agree to change that. Mr. Hund said they would change it. PS 91-23 APPROVED Mr. Miller made the motion to approve PS 91-23. Mr. Collins asked if Mr. Miller would amend his motion to include something about the sidewalks and the building line change. Mr. Miller amended his motion to waive the sidewalk requirement at this time, but that they would be constructed within one year after the freeway work is completed, and that the front building line on the plat be changed from 30 feet to 25 feet. This motion was seconded by Mr. Collins and the motion carried 5-0. Page 3 P & Z Minutes November 14, 1991 2. PZ 91-22 Public Hearing for request of Mark Miranda with 1-20 Matlock, Inc. to rezone Lot 1, Block 1, Northland Shopping Center Addition, from C-l Commercial to C-2 Commercial. This property is located at the southeast corner of Rufe Snow Drive and Watauga Road. Vice Chairman Barfield said this property, until it recently closed down, was operating in non-compliance. He said the city in 1984 changed their classifications from just "commercial" to "C-l" and "C-2" and this piece of property was classified as C-l, but a car wash is listed under C-2. He said the city has partial responsibility in this and we should consider that also in our decisions. Vice Chairman Barfield opened the Public Hearing and called for those wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come forward. Mark Miranda, owner of the property, came forward. He said he developed the property behind this property, the Kroger property, back in 1984 and 1985 and he just recently purchased this property with another group with the intention of somehow blending it into their shopping center. Mr. Miranda said the Stop and Go had been an eye sore for sometime. He said he has had several people come to them wanting to put a State Auto Inspection Center in the car wash area. Mr. Miranda said they would take the building as it is and convert it into a State Inspection Sticker place. He said he plans to take the old Stop and Go building and clean it up and lease it out for some other use. He said the old car wash is kind of an eye sore. Mr. Miranda said they have a lease agreement contingent on this change to C-2, Automotive Use, and he requests approval. Page 4 p & Z Minutes November 14, 1991 Vice Chairman Barfield asked if he just wishes to have the Inspection Station or is he planning on a full blown service. Mr. Miranda said he understands they are not allowed to do oil changes and such. Vice Chairman Barfield said we have available to us in the C-1 zoning with a Specific Use that would allow you to do State Inspections. He asked Mr. Miranda if he would consider this instead of the C-2 zoning. Mr. Miranda said he would consider it, but would like to have the highest and best use for the property. Mr. Bowen asked Mr. Miranda, besides the Inspection Station, does he plan an automotive use for the other building also. Mr. Miranda said he would like to take the old Stop and Go building and put in an ice cream shop or a cleaners, or something like that in it. Mr. Lueck asked if the State Inspection was a franchise. Mr. Miranda said there are two franchises. Mr. Miller asked what type of repairs would they be doing. Mr. Miranda said they are regulated by the State. He said he thought they could adjust the head lights, but they can not do mechanical work. Vice Chairman Barfield called for anyone else wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come forward. Page 5 P & Z Minutes November 14, 1991 There being no one, the Vice Chairman called for those wishing to speak in opposition to this request to please come forward. There being no one wishing to speak, Vice Chairman Barfield closed the Public Hearing. Mr. Bowen said he would be a lot more comfortable with a C-I-Specific Use rather than a C-2 zoning. He said the property in question is less than an acre as required by the zoning ordinance and there is no C-2 zoning in the area. Vice Chairman Barfield asked Mr. LeBaron if they could recommend this and have the paperwork taken care of prior to going to council. Mr. LeBaron said since they held the Public Hearing and there was no one in opposition to the request, they could recommend C-I-Specific Use. Mr. Bowen asked if it would go to the City Council as C-I-Specific Use or would they discuss the C-2 also. Vice Chairman Barfield said it would go as C-I-Specific Use unless Mr. Miranda requested an Appeal Hearing. PZ 91-22 APPROVED AS C-I-SU AUTO INSPECTION STATION Mr. Bowen made the motion to recommend PZ 91-22 as a C-I-Specific Use for an Auto Inspection Station and all permitted uses in C-l. This motion was seconded by Mr. Miller and the motion carried 5-0. 3. STAFF REPORT Vice Chairman Barfield stated that the dates for Planning and Zoning and the City Council meetings for December will be changed. He said anyone interested should call the City Hall for dates. Page 6 P & Z Minutes November 14, 1991 4. CITIZEN COMMENTS ADJOURNMENT Don Bowen, Secretary Planning & Zoning Commission None.
