Barlough Survey from its present classification of "1F-9 One Family Dwelling" to a proposed classification of "Local- Retail". Mr. Chapman presented his case to the members of the board. He stated his property which is leased for a service station was the request for rezoning. Mr. Crawford asked Mr. Chapman if it would be a major station. He replied that to his knowledge it would be either a Premier or Champlin. Mr. C. L. Barnett came forward asking the Zoning Commission to postpone Mr. Chapman's request at this time due to two resi- dents not being notified, and they were opposed to the re- zoning. In checking the plat book it was found that these property owners were not within 200 feet of the property to be rezoned, but since the property was purchased this year from Mr. Joe Owen one lot was still shown on the tax record as his property, and he was notified by certified mail. Mr. Barnett was opposed to the change in zoning, stating that it did not take that much property for a service station. Mr. Pyron stated that the property would be approved or denied as stated in the request of Mr. Chapman. Motion was made for approval by Mr. Crawford. Mr. Walker seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Request of North Richland Development Corporation to rezone Lot 11, Block 5, North Richland Hills Addition from its pre- sent classification of "Local-Retail" to a proposed classifi- cation of "Commercial". IvIr. Joe Drummond came forward to present his case to the members of the board. He showed a plat of the surrounding area, and stated that this location had been under lease to Texaco for several years and most service stations had diversified businesses. Mr. Drummond . PZ 68-38 . ...... -.....I stated he did not know the operator was in violation of zoning by selling used cars at this location until he was notified by the City. He stated that the Corporation wanted to complete development of all vacant property owned by them for the various business that would front Highway #121. Two members of the audience came forward in protest of the rezoning due to the fact the cars were not the type purchased from a used car lot, that most of them appeared to be abandonded vehicles, old cars and junk cars, and not ready to drive as a used car. This also made the appearance of the neighborhood look like a junk yard. Mr. Crawford made a motion of denial. Mr. Walker seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Drummond came forward and asked that the tape of his case be replayed at the City Council meeting of November 25, 1968. Request of Mr. R. W. Anderson to re-zone Tract A and Tract B out of the M. Lynch Survey from its present classification of "1F-7 One Family Dwelling" to a proposed classification of "Local-Retail". ~lr. Anderson presented his case to the members of the board. He stated he had owned and operated his furniture store at 6608 Harmonson Road for many years even before it became part of the City, and he was not aware of the incorrect zoning until such time he wanted to en- large his store for the purpose of having more space. Mr. Pyron asked Mr. Anderson if he was going to lease his new space, and he state no, it would be operated by him as he had done in the past. Mr. Anderson stated the new structure would conform to all City specifications. Mr. Ballenger stated to the commission that the building was non-conforming now because of the years it had been in operation before the new zoning became effective.
