Mr. Collins stated that approximately three years ago he recognized this property was good potential commercial property because it joins one of the most popular inter- sections in the northeast and has frontage on a major freeway. Mr. Collins stated that at that time he contacted the owner Mr. Al Antz about purchasing the property. Mr. Antz stated he was advised that there were deed restrictions which prohibited commercial development and he lost interest as he thought it would be impossible to remove the restrictions. Mr. Collins stated that about six months ago he talked with Mr. Antz and learned that all of the homes in the subdivision had signed a release to remove the deed restrictions to allow commercial zoning of this property. Mr. Collins stated that to him this was a clear signal from the people in the subdivision that they wanted the property to go commercial. Mr. Collins stated he felt the property would be zoned sooner or later and he would take the chance of buying the property. Mr. Collins stated that if he was successful in getting the property rezoned he proposed to clean out the channel and concrete so far up, no curb cuts on Strummer and redesign the intersection of Bedford-Euless Road and Strummer. Mr. Collins stated he had the support of Hurst. North Richland Hills and the Highway Department for some type of change in the area. Mr. Collins stated he proposed to widen Bedford-Euless Road and put in left hand turn lanes coming from both directions. one going on 820 and one going into Center. Mr. Collins stated that in order to do that he would have to widen the bridge and add a fourth leg to the stop light. Mr. Collins asked for rebuttal time. Mr. Collins stated he did some checking on the tax revenue of this property he is purchasing and North Richland Hills would get approximately $45,500 a year. Mr. Collins stated he knew this was not an easy zoning case for the Council and if it was turned down it would not be six months until someone else tried to rezone it. Mr. Marvin Bradick, 4912 Strummer. appeared before the Council.

Mr. Samsill stated that most of the previous speakers did not live within two hundred feet of zoning request. Mr. Samsill stated his property abutted the property in question.

Mr. Collins stated he did not call Mr. Samsill when the project was first started. He was one of the ones that signed the release because he wanted to sell his property. but did not get to. Mr. Collins stated the Council had a copy of the letter he had received from the Highway Department.
