(Page Two, Regular Meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission, September 5, 1917 Chairman Weber inquired as to whether or not the Engineers should be consulted concerning the plans. Mr. Bullard stated that the City's Consulting Engineers have reviewed the plans previously and made recommendations which have been met by Safeway Stores, Inc. Mr. Bullard advised that he does not have a letter recommending approval by the Engineers, but that he has been advised by the City Manager that all requirements have been met. Plans for the proposed facilities to accommodate Safeway Store, Inc. were reviewed by Members of the Commission, and Chairman Weber inquired as to the exact location of the proposed structure. Mr. Bullard stated that the building will be located at the intersection of Highway 183 and Ector Drive -- North of Highway 183 and East of Ector. In reply to a question concerning the zoning on this property, Mr. Bullard advised that the property has previously been zoned for commercial useage. After further discussion, Mr. Hastings made the motion to approve Commercial Permit No. 52, as requested by Safeway Store, Inc. , providing the engineering meets with all city codes. Doctor Lande seconded the motion, and the vote is as follows: Ayes: Messrs. Hastings, Lande, Tench and Browne Nays: None Chairman Weber declared the motion carried. Chairman Weber suggested that it would be helpful for the Planning and Zoning Commission to have a communique from the City Manager, if the Engineers do not furnish a letter in which they comment or make recommendations pertaining to a request. Mr. Felts stated that he is aware this request will go before the Euless City Council before final action is taken and inquired if it will be necessary that his firm have a representative present at that time. Mr. Felts was advised that representation is not required; however, it will be to Safeway's advantage for someone to be present to answer any questions which might arise -- otherwise, the request may be tabled. Chairman Weber informed Mr. Felts that this request will be on the Agenda for the next regular meeting of the Euless City Council , September 12, 1967.
