CONSIDER PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT REQUEST OF HAROLD COPHER ON LOT 2, BLOCK 2. KITTY HOUSE ADDITION Mayor Samuels recognized Mr. Harold Copher, owner of Lot 2, Block 2, Kitty House Addition. Mr. Wal ker inqui red if Mr. Copher was going to begin construction of a building now. Mr. Copher stated not at this time, as the original business that was to be constructed there has withdrawn. Mr. Copher stated he would request that the Council reconsider the installation of sidewalks on the property at this time, as it would seem more reasonable to install sidewalks when the eighty (80) foot wide street is constructed. Mr. Sustaire stated he doesn't see any need for sidewalks at this time and he would recommend that sidewalks on this property be set aside and have the developer install the sidewalks when the street is constructed. Mr. Sustaire inquired of the City Attorney if this can be done legally. Mr. Cribbs stated what the City can do is obtain a consent and agreement covenant from the property owner to assess it against the property, that it w i l l be a contract whereby the covenant w i l l run with the land, agreeing that the owner will install sidewalks when the City widens and constructs the street and constructs sidewalks. Mr. Pippin moved to concur with the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission and approve the pre- liminary and final plat of Lot 2, Block 2, Kitty House Addition, with the stipulation that the property owner agrees to create a covenant running with the land requiring the land owner to pay for the installation of sidewalks, to City specifications, at the time of improvements of Westpark Way. Mr. Walker seconded the motion and the vote is as follows: Ayes: Messrs. Pippin, Walker, Ozebek and Mrs. McCormick Nays: None Mayor Samuels declared the motion carried. le 151 (Page Three, Regular Meeting, Euless City Council, April 12, 1977) IV P4413616-- HEARING: ZONING CASE NO. 259 - .REQUEST OF EAST TEXAS SERVICE CORPORATION FOR CHANGE OF ZONING FROM "C -2" COMMUNITY BUSINESS DISTRICT TO "I -1" LIGHT INDUSTRIAL WITH A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT ON TRACT 1E. J01-N H. HAVENS SURVEY, ABSTRACT 685 Mayor Samuels opened the public hearing on Zoning Case No. 259, request of East Texas Service Corporation for change of zoning from "C -2" Community Business District to "1 -1" Light Industrial with a Specific Use Permit and inquired if there was a representative present to present the case; there being none he inquired if there were any proponents present. Mr. Harold Copher stated he was at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting when Mr. Shull presented the case and stated the owners anticipate selling approximately one million dollars worth of material a month and approximately $300,000 w i l l be taxable sales merchan- dise and the sales tax w i l l benefit the City. Mayor Samuels inquired if there were any other proponents; there being none, he inquired if there were any opponents, Mr. Allen King stated that he owns the property on the south side of the tract and it seems the owner is requesting a permit for that property instead of a change of zoning and it seems the property should be changed to industrial zoning. Mayor Samuels explained the reason for the Specific Use Permit for that catagory of business, to give the City more control on the type of construction to be built on the property. Mr. Lynch stated the Planning and Zoning Commission did not want to indicate that the area would lend itself to industrial zoning, but this was a special case, that requires a specific use permit. Mayor Samuels inquired if there were other opponents; there being none, he declared the public hearing closed. Mrs. McCormick moved to concur with the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission and approve the rezoning of Tract 1E, John H. Havens Survey, Abstract 685, from "C -2" Community Business District to "1 -1" Light Industrial with a Specific Use Permit.
