Request of Mr. Walter G. Cook to obtain a "Specific Use Permit", under Article 7, Paragraph F, in a IF-l2 Flood Plan containing 45.07 acres out of the M. Lynch Survey. Mr. Cook came forward to present his case to the members of the Commission. Mr. Cook stated that he considered the highest and best use of this property would be a Commercial Amusement Center. Mr. Cook pin- pointed the exact location of the property to the Commission, and pointed out the need for this type enterprise in this area. Mr. Cook stated that he wished to use the youth in the area to accomplish the develop- ment of this project. Mr. Cook pointed out that this land was zoned Flood Plan and such an undertaking was allowed in the Zoning Ordinance. This would be a long range development. Mr. Ratcliff asked Mr. Ballenger the minimum elevatio~ related to the present elevation, to constitute a Flood Plan. Mr. Ballenger stated that 526 minimum at the North end would be required, and that down stream the elevation would progressively increase. This would require 3 to 5 feet of fill, mini- mum for structural development. Mr. B.F. Bedford came forward representing himself and the Diamond Loch Addition owners, questioning the noise factor of the facilities proposed to be installed, the location of the stables, and the closeness of these installations to Diamond Loch Addition. Mr. Ratcliff told Mr. Bedford that this was a Specific Use Request only, and Mr. Cook would have to return at a later date and submitt his preliminary and final plans. There being no further discussion, motion to approve the request was made by Mr. Rinn, seconded by Mr. Peters. Motion carried unani- mously. Request of Mr. Arnold D. Pair to rezone 32.877 acres out of the David Moses Survey from its present classi- fication of "Agriculture" to a proposed classification of "Industrial". Mr. Arnold D. Pair came forward to present the zoning request to the Commission. Mr. Pair asked that Mr. George W. Boring, Attorney and Trustee, be allowed to speak in behalf of this request. Mr. Boring came forward to present the case. Mr. Boring pointed out the exact location of the land, more common- ly known as the R.T. Gee Farm, containing a total of 68 acres. He was not asking zoning on the entire tract at this time. Reasons given were engineering problems concerning utilities on the North portion, the lack of knowledge as to the route Amundson Road will take when it is improved and widened, and the life time estate granted Mr. Gee on the corner 4 acres. The proposed project would have warehouses designed for storage, wholesale and/or retail sales. There would be no large industrial type plants. The architecture and landscaping would be of high quality. Mr. Rinn asked if utilities were available. Mr. Boring stated that water was avail- able 800 feet to the West and sewerage was available . . PS 70-6 - on the line serving Smithfield Acres, and he was in negotiation for this at the present time. Mr. Ratcliff asked if he would be willing to dedicate all the Right of Way for Amundson Road; Mr. Boring stated that he was not in a position to answer that at the present, but assured the Commission that he would do what the City required and would not ask to make a profit on any land involved. Mr. Boring further stipulated that the streets inside the project would be handled as the City directed. He would dedicate them, or keep them as private roads. Mr. Ratcliff asked if he would consider "Planned Development", and Mr. Boring stated no because the size of all the proposed buildings was unknown, and financing could not be obtained on a "Planned Develop- ment". Mr. Ratcliff questioned the ownership on this tract. Mr. Boring stated they were in fact the owners and the deed on the entire tract was in his safe, and he was not, in fact, sub-dividing anything. Mr. Ratcliff asked if he would furnish further engineering informa- tion. Mr. Boring stated that he would not be willing to until zoning was obtained due to the cost factor. He further stipulated that this information would be fur- nished and submitted at the proper time, should this zoning request be approved. Mr. Ratcliff asked if there were those present to speak in opposition. Mr. Jeff Worley came forward to oppose the request. Mr. W.F. Howell stated, from the audience, his opposition due to lack of information. Mr. Bob Jones, owner of 32 acres East of this tract in the City of Hurst, voiced a favor- able opinion from the audience. Motion of denial was made by Dr. Hager, seconded by Mr. Peters. Dr. Hager, Mr. Peters, and Mr. Ratcliff voted to deny the appli- cation. Mr. Rinn voted against denial, Mrs. Shaunty abstained. Motion of denial carried. Request of Norman Kilgore to replat 16 acres out of the Oakvale Addition from 50 Lots to 8 Two Acre Tracts. Mr. Kilgore came forward to present his case to the Com- mission. Mr. Kilgore stated that he had cleared a final plat with the City Council on this property, but had not filed it for record. Mr. Kilgore stated that water and sewerage was not available to serve 50 lots, but 8 taps could be obtained on the Keller Water System of this City. The lot area in a 2 acre tract would be sufficient for the installation of septic systems. Mr. Kilgore stated he had immediate plans for development of this area. Mr. Ratcliff asked if the plan submitted could be considered a preliminary plan. Mr. Kilgore stated that it could. Mr. Ballenger notified the Com- mission that some additional Right of Way would be re- quired along the North side of the tract, and possibly a drainage easement. Mr. Kilgore agreed to these require- ments, and would so indicate on his plats. Motion of approval was made by Dr. Hager, seconded by Mrs. Shaunty. Motion carried unanimously. . . .
