COMMERCIAL PERMIT NO. 48 FOR CONSTRUCTION OF MINIATURE GOLF COURSE - MR. A. R. KAMPSCHAFER Chairman Weber stated that Mr. A. R. Kampschafer requests a Commercial Permit to construct a Miniature Golf Course, to be located on Highway 183, East of the Dairy Queen and West of Simmons Drive. Chairman Weber stated that the plans had been forwarded to the City's Consulting Engineers, Gregory, Knowlton and Ratliff, and Mr. Weber read a letter from the engineers, dated March 21 , 1967. The Engineers advise that they have inspected the plans and believe the only matter for concern would be the traffic and parking considerations. The Engineers recommend that Mr. Kampschafer contact the Texas Highway Department, for its approval of parking and traffic considerations. Mr. Kampschafer advised that he has contacted the Texas High- way Department, in this matter, and the Highway Department has approved his plans, subject to the installation of an island, which should be six (6) feet wide and eleven (11) feet long. Mr. Kampschafer presented revised plans, which indicate the changes recommended by the Texas Highway Department, for the Commission's con- sideration. City Inspector Jack Bullard called to the attention of the Planning and Zoning Commission, the office building indicated on the plans, stat- ing that it is a portable building which does not meet the specifications re- quired for commercial buildings. Mr. Tench inquired if the building will remain in a portable state, to which Mr, Kampschafer replied affirmatively. (Page Two, Regular Meeting, Planning and Zoning Commission, March 21 , 1967.) Mr. Weber inquired regarding the storage of maintenance equip- ment for the business. MI-, Kampschafer advised that very little equipment would be re- quired, and that he plans to store it in the office building. There will be no grass in the area, but, with the exception of trimming to accomodate the lighting system, the trees will be left as they are. Only two or three stumps will be re- moved from the site. In reply to an inquiry, Mr. Kampschafer advised that the lot is two hundred (200) feet deep, and the back five (5) feet will be reserved for a gravel walk-way, which will accomodate pedestrians enroute to the Dairy Queen. Mr. Tench inquired If there were easements, water or sewerage problems which should be considered. Mr. Bullard, the City Inspector, advised that there will be no water or sewerage facilities to the building, as it is a temporary structure. In reply to an inquiry regarding the type of lighting to be used, Mr. Kampschafer stated that the Golf Course will be lighted from poles. After further discussion, Mr. Kampschafer advised that the plans he presented for the Commission's consideration show the changes recommended by the State Highway Department, and that facilities for diagonal parking are in- dicated on the front of the property -- facing Highway 183. Mr. Tench made the motion that the Planning and Zoning Commis- sion recommend acceptance of the revised plan, as recommended by the Texas Highway Department, and recommend approval of Commercial Permit No. 48, for the construc- tion of a Miniature Golf Course, as requested by Mr. A. R. Kampschafer, Mr. Ward seconded the motion, and the vote is as follows: Ayes: Messrs. Tench, Ward and Weber Nays: None Chairman Weber declared the motion carried.
