O. Johnson on September 6, 1966. Don Hastings seconded the motion and the vote was as follows: Ayes: Weber, Hastings, Heyl. Nays: None. Chairman, Len Weber, declared the motion carried. REOPENING OF PUBLIC HEARING - - ZONING CASE #153 At this time Mr. Jack Apwisch came before the Commission and stated that since the front 300 feet of Tract A Block 1 Oakcrest Estates is already Commercially zoned, he wishes to have the remaining portion of this tract, which is 180 feet deep on the East and 196 feet deep on the West, rezoned from "A" Residential to "C" Commercial in order that the entire tract might be developed for Commercial use. Mr. Bullard asked Mr. Apwisch exactly what type of Commercial development he had in mind. Mr. ApwischA.informed the Commission that at the present he did not know for sure what type of development it would be. However, he had been considering either a shopping center or an indus- trial area similar to Euless Industrial Park. Then Mr. Bullard asked Mr. Apwisch what, ,if any, his plans were for supplying and maintaining some type of stockade fence or retaining wall on the south side of the property to offer protection 4 and privacy to the residences adjoining Tract A on that side. Mr. Apwisch said he had not really considered the situation but that he would be willing to provide some type of fence or hedges to protect the privacy of the houses to the South. The Chairman asked if any of the visitors present had any comments or questions in connection with the public hearing. Mr. W. W. Cromer of 405 Alexander which joins Tract A on the South told the Commission that he did not feel that a hedge would offer the residences on the South much protection from trash and debris that would collect ina shopping center or industrial area, and that he would want a stockade fence and would request that it be kept up and not be allowed to become run-down. The Chairman thanked Mr. Cromer and recognized Mr . Alvis O. Butler of 500 Alexander who stated that his primary interest was in finding out exactly where the property to be rezoned was located Page three, Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes, August 2, 1966. and how the rezoning of this parcial of land would effect the value and etc. of his property. He also agreeded with Mr. Cromer that a hedge would not supply sufficient protection to the property on the South of Tract A. tor At this time Mrs. Butler stated she felt that a shopping center would be an asset to the area, but she would not be in favor of industries such as Murdocks or anything of that nature. As there were no further comments or questions the Chairman called for a motion. Bert Heyl made a motion that the commission recommend approval of the request for rezoning from "A" Residential to "C" Commercial on the south part of Tract A, Block 1 Oakcrest Estates with the stipulation that the City Council require that a stockade fence of at least 6 feet be erected and maintained along the line bet- ween the subject property and the residences to the South. The motion was seconded by Don Hastings and the vote was as follows: Ayes: Hastings,Weber, Heyl. Nays: None. The Chairman declared the motion carried.
