Director, John Pitstick came forward to present the staff report for the replat of Woodbert Addition. Dustin Austin Enterprises purchased lot 14. This application is for a replat of lot 14 and lot 15. Prior owner owned both lots since 1995. They are recommending a replat to move the common lot line to allow conformity The western edge of the home was built years ago almost directly on the property line. This shift allows Dustin Austin to build on the other lot. They are recommending a replat to move the property line by 15 (fifteen) feet to make 8213 Sayers Lane smaller by 15 (fifteen) feet and 8217 Sayers Lane larger by 15 (fifteen) feet. Staff recommends approval Applicant, Mike Davis; 969 Millican Lane, Keller, TX, with Alta Land Surveying came forward to present. Mr Davis stated that the home on the 8217 property was built in 1948. Firstly, the neighbor requested an easement. We decided to go with this 15 foot shift on the lot line to accommodate the house and the car port that is there. It still makes the lot at 8213 have plenty of room to build a house. Actually, we are pouring forms for a house now Chairman Randall Shiflet opened the Public Hearing at 07 06 P M. Stephanie Broderick; 8217 Sayers Lane; North Richland Hills, came forward in favor. Ms. Broderick stated that she and her husband, Mike live in the existing property. They wanted to make sure the Board knew that they are present at this evening's meeting. They are very much in favor of the application.

The motion passed unanimously 4 (four) to 0 (zero). C.2 ZC 2014-17 Public Hearing and Consideration of a Request from Levart Properties, LLC for the purpose of removing a previously approved Special Use Permit from the property located at 4005 Rufe Snow Dr. October 16,2014 John Pitstick came forward to present the staff report. This application is to remove a previously approved Special Use Permit that was granted in 2002 to accommodate a potential moving and storage business. That business did not commence operation. The current property owner wants to make improvements under C2 zoning and remove the previous site plan. The SUP site improvement requirements include screening wall and paving. The proposed business is a sales office for food safety products. Staff recommends approval. Chairman Randall Shiflet inquired about asphalt located behind the fence. If vehicles or storage will be parked there, would they need to be parked on pavement? John responded that pavement is required for parked vehicles. Chairman Shiflet inquired at what point masonry screening requirements would come into play John Pitstick responded that if site improvement costs exceeded 50% of the TAD (Tarrant Appraisal District) land and building value, masonry screening, landscape improvements and additional improvements would be required in order to conform. Chairman Shiflet inquired if the back grassy area were paved, could it be utilized for parking. John Pitstick responded that parking is fine. Storage would be another issue, which would bring into the masonry screening requirement. Chairman Shiflet noted that there appears to be storage parked back there now from a different owner. John Pitstick confirmed that storage is supposed to be on paved surfaces. John replied that they would have to comply with the C2 zoning district. Mike Benton inquired what the zoning is directly behind this property. John Pitstick responded that it is I (Industrial). Mike Benton inquired if there are fencing requirements on that property. Chairman Shiflet replied that this is city facility on Rita Beth. John Pitstick replied that it is Institutional zoning and they probably wouldn't have to do that. The biggest issue is if they expanded beyond 50% of the value in improvement, they have to conform. But they can go into the existing building without having to conform. Chairman Shiflet inquired of Caroline Waggoner if there are city crews on the Rita Beth city property Caroline Waggoner replied this is Parks & Public Works. Chairman Shiflet stated that there is sand and pipes stored at Rita Beth. Mike Benton inquired if there are landscape requirements on this property John Pitstick reiterated that if their improvements reach a threshold or if they wish to have storage in the rear, there will be more requirements under the C2 zoning. Applicant, Paul Edwards, 7900 Chaddington, North Richland Hills came forward to present. The staff has been wonderful, very helpful and very friendly in working with my architect. As property owner, what we want to do is to pave from that gate, all the way to the back for dumpster storage. Per city code, there would be a masonry wall to enclose the dumpster storage area. For reference sake, the trailer that is visible in this evening's photo has been sold. The trailer on the left hand side is a company trailer for Danmar, the food safety company We have been issued permission from the city to October 16,2014 park the company trailer back there. We are hoping that with the paving path all the way back to a city dumpster that we will meet the compliance of having pavement back there. Our goal is to pave the path to the dumpster. Chairman Shiflet brought up that now that the application has been presented to P&Z commission, the property will be under closer scrutiny. He believes that the trailer observed in the back lot would need to be parked on pavement. Mr. Edwards responded that they will definitely do that. The drawing submitted to the Planning Department does include parking. Chairman Shiflet opened the Public Hearing at 07:15 P.M Being no discussion, Chairman Shiflet closed the Public Hearing at 07:15 P.M MOTION TO APPROVE Steven Cooper motioned to approve ZC 2014-17.
