Randy Stewart with R & T Sales, Inc., Fort Worth, Texas, advised the Commissioners that the proposed fuel service facility, which supplies parts and service to gas stations, would be surrounded by an eight (8) foot high metal fence with a six (6) inch base and the outdoor storage area would be graveled, since paving would be too expensive. He further stated there would be no tanks in the yard and no manufacturing on premises, only parts and all work would be done inside the building. They would be storing equipment and/or over runs until the stations are built and/or remodeled and then picked up. Mr. Stewart advised the Commissioners that no equipment would be stacked in the outdoor storage area higher than the fence was tall. Commissioner Owens inquired as to the type of surface being proposed for the outdoor area and suggested that it be paved. Mr. Stewart said due to the cost of paving he would consider using crushed stone as an alternative if the Commissioners would approve this. Paul Kruckemeyer, City Engineer, inquired as to how the fluids would be contained from the used pumps which would be held in the storage area and the drainage flow for water. Mr. Stewart stated that there would be no liquid from the parts since they would be taken apart at the station site and said his civil engineer was looking at the drainage situation.
