PZ 69-11 Request of ~œ. Jack Walton for a variance from
City of North Richland Hills Zoning Ordinance
No. 179 on Lots I-A and 2-A, Block B, Richland
Oaks Addition to allow auto electric shop in
"Local-Retail" zeming. Mr. Walton came forward
to present his case to the board. He stated he
had received a building permit and had a lease
on the property from l1r. Roy Bowden for 15 years
with a 5 year option. He showed pictures of the
type of building to be used. It was purchased
from Harvey Gordon Construction Company. It is
Pre-Fab construction with concrete and rock ex-
terior with glass fronting on Bedford-Euless
Road and glass around waiting room. All parking
areas would be asphalt paving. He stated his
sign was a professional type sign made by Texas
Sign Company costing $1,900.00 and intended for
a first class building and operations. He had
purchased $12,000.00 worth of equipment. Cancelled
checks were shown verifying payments. This opera-
tion would be strictly tune up and electric work,
same as a service station, except no gasoline pumps
would be installed, and no engine over haul. There
would be a service drive to keep customers out of
the weather. There would be a drive in on either
side and four cars could go thru plus the driving
area. Attorney Mr. Henry ~i. Simon, Jr. came for-
ward in opposition of the variance. He represented
Mr. H.E. Engleman, Mr. Ed Baker Jr., and Mr. T .Z.
Hamm adjoining property O"W11.ers. ~1r. Harron came for-
ward to present his plans and picture of future
proposed construction of high rise buildings on
their property.
.
The plans show to be buildings of six stories.
He stated he wanted a major client in this area
for best usage. He stated they would lease the
land in question, or make some settlement with
the lessor and ~fr. Walton. Mr. Simon stated he
was authorized to offer ~~. Walton $500.00 dam-
ages and would go to $750.00. 1·1'r. Walton stated
in checking the zoning map Continental was erect-
ing a major service station with no objections.
!Vir. Don Bowden came forward stating that in Local-
Retail a service station or 7-11 store would be of
no difference than an electrical auto shop. Mr. Hamm
stated that the two major office buildings were to
be leased by a New York firm and the tennants would
object to a zoning varience as requested by ~~.
Walton. Dr. Hahn asked if some mutual agreement
could be reached by both parties. }1r. H.B. Helton
stated all parties would be notified by letter with-
in five to seven days the outcome of their decision.
Motion was made by V~. Trotter to recess to inspect
site, seconded by Vlr. Ernst. 11.Iotion carried unani-
mously. Mr. Helton called the meeting back to order.
I-ir. Helton made the motion that on this date March
4, 1969 he recommended to the members of the board
the following:
.
1. The opinion of the Board is that Zoning Ordinance
No. 179 has no classification identifying the
exact operation requested by Mr. Walton;
2. In the opinion of this Board, the operation as
proposed would more nearly fit and be compatible
with the catagory of Local-Retail;
3. The property in question is presently zoned Local-
Retail;
4. As a result, no zoning change or variance is
required;
5. The Board rules that r~fr. Walton's proposed
business is in fact in compliance with the
intent of the present ordinance as submitted;
6 . The Board orders the building official to allow
the construction of the building as presented by
l1r. ~valton, and that he be allowed to operate his
business as presented at this hearing;
.
7. The Board further orders that close observation
be kept on the operation of this building to
assure that all ordinances pertaining to litter
and cleanliness are strictly adhered to; and
that expansion to a heavier and more diversified
operation than that presented to this Board be
prohibited.
l\lotion was seconded by Dr. Hahn. All members present
