CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF TIME APPLIED TO CONDITIONS SUBSEQUENT INCORPORATED IN ORDINANCE NO. 323 (ZONING CASE 167) , MR. TONY SCALISE Vice Chairman Cline recognized Mr. Tony Scalise, Manager of West Park Joint Venture, who requests an extension of time applied to conditions subsequent incorporated in Ordinance No. 323, which rezones property in the T. A. Cash Survey, which is located four hundred (400) feet South of Spur 350, at the West City Limits line. (The North 400 feet of this tract was permanently zoned commercial by City of Euless Ordinance No. 266 , Zoning Case No. 133. ) (Page Two, Minutes of Regular Meeting, Planning and Zoning Commission, March 2, 1971 ) Mr. Scalise advised that he represents West Park Joint Venture, owners of the subject property -- that he is Manager of West Park Joint Venture and part owner -- that his office address is 3333 Republic National Bank Tower, Dallas, Texas. Mr. Scalise stated that the property in question is located near the convergence of 121A and Spur 350, East of the HEB Hospital site and the Bedford-Euless city limits line -- also East of the Sears site and located diagonally across Spur 350 from Bedford Forum. Mr. Scalise pointed out that Westpark Way will be extended through the proper- ty in question and presented a drawing which indicates the street will be extended to Bedford-Euless Road. He advised that development of the property was delayed, primarily because of the delay in opening of the freeway and the utility situation. Mr. Scalise advised that the Hospital Authority pro- poses to bring utilities to their property, and Mr. Walter Elliott, Engineer, has advised that the sewer line is approximately four hundred (400) calendar days away. Mr. Scalise stated that he and his associates have worked with Mr. Elliott and representatives for the City, who advise that development plans should be delayed until more definitive information can be obtained on the sewer line. Mr. Scalise presented a preliminary plan, indicating the proposed extension of Westpark Way northward and Tibbets Drive which is proposed to originate in the City of Bedford and extend eastward along the southern boundary of the subject property to intersect Westpark Way. Mr. Scalise commented that he is of the opinion Westpark Way will be the primary access road to the HEB Hospital from the freeway. He advised that the most recent estimate from Fort Worth is that the freeway will be open this Summer; therefore, the owners of the subject property request a twenty- four month extension of time for development of their property. Replying to questions from Vice Chairman Cline, Mr. Scalise stated that he and his associates are of the opinion a twenty-four (24) month extension will be adequate -- that they have not ob- tained financing for their project at this time, but one of the owners is a developer in Dallas and he (Mr. Scalise) is of the opinion they will use this man's contacts, and he considers the utility situation to be the primary problem. He explained that the Hospital Authority was to bring the utilities up the creek -- that the proposed development of Bedford Forum added a fantastic load for utilities in this area -- that a 21 inch sewer line is required -- that he is of the opinion the Hospital Authority's next phase is to get funding for the utility extension. Mr. Bullard confirmed Mr. Scalise's state- ment concerning the delay in utility extensions, stating that anticipated Federal Aid has been delayed. In reply to a question from Vice Chairman Cline, Mr. Scalise advised that the property is zoned "C-2" Community Busi- ness District -- that tentative plans indicate construction of a service station, motel , general retail center and an office building -- that this is (Page Three, Minutes of Regular Meeting, Planning and Zoning Commission, March 2, 1971) the same plan which was presented two years ago, and there, possibly, will be some changes. Mr. Arth moved to recommend a twenty-four month extension of time applied to conditions subsequent incorporated in Ordinance No. 323, as requested. Mr. Leggett seconded the motion, and the vote is as follows : Ayes : Messrs. Arth, Leggett, Tench and Cline Nays : None Chairman Cline declared the motion carried. III .
