BA 87-1
Request of J. P. Richardson with
Quickway Shopping, Inc. to vary from
the Zoning Ordinance #1080 on Lot 2R,
Block 1, Smithfield Addition, to allow
the construction of a canopy over the
existing gas pumps beyond the front
building line. This property is
located at 6600 Davis Boulevard.
Chairman Roseberry opened the Public
Hearing and called for those wishing
to speak in favor of this request to
please come forward.
.
Clyde Williamson, Contractor for the
project, came forward. He said their
plan is to erect a half canopy over
the existing pumps. He stated they
previously submitted plans for a
canopy to the building department, but
was turned down. Mr. Williamson said
after much discussion with the City
Staff, they decided to request a
variance for a half canopy. He said
the half canopy would add to the looks
of the place plus would be a
convenience to the customer.

Mr. Williamson said he had looked at
several canopies along Davis Boulevard
and he does not feel this one would
cause a problem.
Chairman Roseberry asked Mr. Royston
about the sign that is in the
right-of-way. He asked if it would
have to come down if the street is
widened.
Mr. Royston stated it would, but did
not feel the half canopy would create
a problem.
Mr. Williamson stated they we~re kind
of closed in. He said they did not
have any place to move the island. He
said they just want to make the place
look nice.
.
Chairman Roseberry asked Mr. Royston
if they could grant the variance for
the canopy only?
Mr. Royston stated yes, they are
asking for a variance for a canopy.
Mr. Schubert asked Mr. Royston if he
had seen the plans for the canopy.
Mr. Royston stated he had not.
Mr. Williamson stated he has the plans
if they want to see them.
Chairman Roseberry asked Mr. Royston
if the Board would have any more of
these requests.
Mr. Royston stated he could not think
of any, maybe one more. He said each
one is a unique situation.
Mr. Barfield asked if this one would
be a problem when Davis Boulevard is
widened.

Mr. Royston stated they have 110 feet
of right-of-way, and when the street
is widened to 7 lanes, we will still
have plenty of room.
Mr. Barfield stated the drawing shows
an electrical easement over the
building.
Mr. Royston stated this is a private
line for the power company.
Mr. Barfield stated that canopies are
usually 18 to 20 feet tall. He said
he was wondering how much clearance is

said it would be in the National
Electric Code.

Boulevard project is for 1988.
