PZ 2001-26 PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A REQUEST BY RON HUGGINS FOR A ZONING CHANGE ON 2.47 ACRES OF LAND FROM R-2 RESIDENTIAL, LR LOCAL RETAIL, AND PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT TO C-2 COMMERCIAL LOCATED IN THE 4600- 4700 BLOCK OF SUSAN LEE DRIVE AND THE 4700 BLOCK OF NANCY LANE. Zoning Administrator Cathy Horton stated this request follows one made earlier this spring and processed this summer. This request was denied by the Commission in May for a single lot zoned for PD and was tabled at City Council. City Council subsequently approved the request and suggested that Huggins should work with neighbors and come back with a more definite future plan. Mr. Huggins plans to make a cul-de-sac to separate the property to the North in the single family neighborhood. Chairman Don Bowen opened the public hearing. Mr. Ron Huggins spoke of his more logical plan that met our policies & guidelines with buffers, landscaping, and screening wall, bringing 10-12 parcels of property into the development. Roger Martin, 8633 Timber Dr., North Richland Hills, TX filled out a card in favor of this request. Starline Autrey, 4800 Susan Lee, Lot 9, North Richland Hills, TX, spoke addressing his concerns regarding the masonry fence, possible foot traffic, lighting, and noise caused by this proposal. Page 4 10/11/01 P & Z Minutes Mr. Huggins said his hours of operation are until 9:00 p.m. on weekdays and until 7:30 p.m. on Saturday. Sheila Worthy, 4800 Susan Lee Ln, North Richland Hills, TX would rather see a street from Susan Lee to Nancy than a cul-de-sac which would produce a wider buffer to the neighborhood. Chairman Don Bowen commented that all of these requests would be identified at the consideration at the platting level, but this evening's hearing is for the zoning change. Chairman Don Bowen read from a card from Ann Hanes, 4812 Susan Lee, North Richland Hills, TX, who is opposed to PZ 2001-26. Chairman Don Bowen read a letter received by Johny Brackett, 4800 Nancy Lane, North Richland Hills, TX who is opposed to PZ 2001-26. Chairman Don Bowen closed the public hearing. Chairman asked for comments from the staff. Don Bowen commented that it is major to close the street. He commented that Mr. Huggins gathered the information that was asked of him by council. Tim Welch commented that Mr. Huggins did a good job in acquiring additional lots, but he has mixed feelings about this approval. Scott Turnage commented that it is not economically feasible to gain more lots and that Mr. Huggins has done what was asked of him. Scott Turnage, seconded by Doug Blue, motioned to approve PZ 2001-26. The motion carried (4-2). Tim Welch and George Tucker voted against. 11.
