Kirk Nance with M & W Investments came forward. He stated he approached the City Council for a permit to build a sign and was granted the permit, but was told to come back before Planning and Zoning to see if there was a problem with the zoning.

Bob Brady, Real Estate Broker and agent for Mr. Marcom, came forward. He said he was asking for the change from Multi-Family to C-2 because this property is unuseable as Multi-Family, it is too small. He said it was only 100 feet by 353 feet. Mr. Brady said this area is in transition from Single Family to Business. He said this is not being zoned for speculation, the owner plans to build an office warehouse and storage building. ~ Page 5 P & Z Minutes July 12, 1984 . Mr. Brady said there could be as many as 12 tenants. He said the owner would have his office there and his Subcontractors and some wholesalers.

Mr. Brady said he has discussed this zoning change with the adjacent property owners and none opposed it, but there are some present tonight. . Mr. Barron, 801 Erwin Drive, Hurst, Texas, came forward. He said he bought 3936 Flory Street and the property in question is across the street.

Mr. Brady said it would be offices and warehouse. Mr. Wood said he has C-2 on the other side of his property. Mr. Barron said he has Mr. Allison on one side.

This property is located north of Watauga Road, bounded on the south by the railroad and on the west by North Park Estates. Acting Chairman Bowen opened the Public Hearing and called for those wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come forward. Burk Collins came forward. He said he was requesting the change from R-3 to duplex for a higher yield. He said there had been flooding problems in this area and he has corrected most of it. Mr. Collins said he built a 1,500 foot concrete lined channel and would build another 500 feet. He said this is very expensive and if he could get this zoning, it would help with this added expense. Mr. Wood asked how he plans to get access to this subdivision. Mr. Collins said he and Doug Long plan to build a road to Watauga Road. Acting Chairman Bowen called for those wishing to speak in opposition to this request to please come forward. ~ Page 7 P & Z Minutes July 12, 1984 . There being no one wishing to speak, the Acting Chairman closed the Public Hearing. Mr. Hannon asked when it was zoned. Doug Long came forward. He said he had owned this property approximately 10 years. He said it was originally 1F-7 (Single Family) which was done away with. He said they had intended to put 235 houses on it. Mr. Long said then they zoned it Industrial since it was close to the railroad which was in 1973 or 74, but the financing fell through. Mr. Long said when the new ordinance and map was adopted, he was told he could not use it, it would be non-conforming and said it could go to R-3. He said they thought the Industrial zoning might not be the best so they allowed it to be changed to R-3. . Mr. Long said he paid for the railroad crossing 10 years ago and he will assist Mr. Collins in bringing the street through to Watauga Road. He said they already have a culvert there and water and sewer, but it has been there so long, and so much has developed, they will have to increase the size of the culvert. Mr. Hannon asked if North Park Estates was built at the time they received the Industrial zoning. Mr. Long said he did not think the houses were built, but the property was zoned. He said the City Council said we would have to put a lesser use of Industrial next to them. Mr. Long said the property to the south of the property in question was previously Local Retail but is now C-1. Mr. Hannon asked how many property owners were contacted. . ~ Page 8 P & Z Minutes July 12, 1984 . Mrs. Calvert said 30. She said she had several calls stating they had seen the sign and wanted to know what they were asking for and when it would be heard. PZ 84-55 APPROVED Mr. Wood made the motion to approve PZ 84-55. This motion was seconded by Mr. Schwinger and the motion carried 4-1 with Ms. Nash voting against. 12, CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENT TO ZONING ORDINANCE #1080 Acting Chairman Bowen stated this amendment was regarding definitions and the parking and storage of vehicles.
