Mr. Fenimore stated he was half owner in this property. Mr. Fenimore stated that they wanted to change the zoning to C-l. Mr. Fenimore stated the reason for the change in zoning was so they could build garden type office buildings. Mayor Echols called for anyone wishing to speak in opposition to this request to please come forward. There being no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Echols closed the public hearing. 8. Mayor Pro Tem Davis moved, seconded by Councilman Newman, to approve Ordinance No. 1137. Motion carried 5-0. 9. Mayor Echols opened the public hearing and called for anyone wishing to speak in favor of this request to please come forward. Mr. Loren Pelton, 3808 Brookside, Bedford, appeared before the Council. Mr. Pelton stated he represented the developers of this property and they were requesting the zoning change. The existing duplex zoning is 156 feet, and they were requesting an additional 124 feet to make it workable where there could be proper size lots, with a street that would run north-south from Harwood Road to Highway 26. Mayor Echols asked Mr. Pelton if he owned any of the adjacent property. Mr. Pelton replied no. This was part of a package that would be sold to a shopping center to comply with the proper existing zoning at the present time. Councilman Fisher asked if there would be a street cut through. Mr. Pelton stated that at the present, zoning of the duplex portion was 156 foot wide and that did not allow for the proper development of the duplex portion that existed so they were proposing an additional 124 feet which would allow for the proper street cut-through from Harwood to Grapevine Highway. Mayor Echols called for anyone wishing to speak in opposition to this request to please come forward. July 9, 1984 Page 2 PLANNING & ZONING - PUBLIC HEARING PZ 84-41, REQUEST OF J.V.
