HUIE FOR REZONING A TRACT OF LAND FROM "R-1" SINGLE FAMILY TO "C-2" COMMUNITY BUSINESS DISTRICT. PROPERTY LOCATED EAST OF HUNTINGTON ADDITION FROM HIGHWAY 183, SOUTH ALONG CITY LIMITS. Chairman Tyson opened the Public Hearing of Zoning Case No. 235 and recognized Mr. Huie, who stated this property was previously zoned when it was in the City limits of the City of Fort Worth. Mr. Huie stated that the property was deannexed from the City of Fort Worth and annexed by the City of Euless without his knowledge. At the time he became aware of the fact that his property was in the City of Euless, he checked on the zoning of the property and found that it had reverted to "R-1" Single Family at the time it was annexed to the City of Euless. Mr. Huie stated that he is now making this request for the zoning change to obtain the same zoning he once had, which was commercial . Mr. Huie stated that he did not have any definite plans for the development of this property and could not state exactly what businesses would be located on definite sites. On completion of Mr. Huie's presentation, visitors present were given the opportunity to ask specific questions about zoning of the property. Mrs . Rampy of 727 Koen Lane asked Mr. Huie about the traffic access to this property. Mr. Huie stated that American Airlines Boulevard was to be constructed on the east side of his property and the major access to his property would be from this Boulevard. Mr. Carl Moss of 507 Huntington Lane asked Mr. Huie if he knew the property was not zoned at the time he purchased it. Mr. Huie stated that the property was rezoned at the time he purchased the property because it was purchased subject to zoning. Mr. Robert Spinks of 301 Huntington Lane stated that he did not receive notice from the City of Fort Worth at the time zoning was considered by the City of Fort Worth. Chairman Tyson replied that the City of Euless had no control over the notices sent by the City of Fort Worth. (Page Three , Regular Meeting, Planning and Zoning Commission, October 16, 1973) Mr. Robert Harris of 805 Koen Lane asked Mr. Huie if the boundary line of the zoning was rather indirect. Mr. Huie replied yes that it was, but that it was the boundary line of his property. Mr. A. W. Cox of 501 Huntington asked what the land uses were in "C-2" Zoning Classifications. Mr. Bob Pippin read the Land Uses from the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Kenneth Davis of 313 Huntington Lane asked Mr. Huie what percentage of his land was in the City limits of Euless. Mr. Huie replied twenty-five percent. Mrs. Rampy asked what type of screening would be erected and what time during construction would the fence be erected. Mr. Bullard stated that they were not required to erect the fence until completion of construction. Messrs. Goodfellow, R. W. Harris, Kenneth Davis, John Soliday, J. Barber, Carl Moss, Charlie Stubbs, William R. Dunn, Barnett, and Robert Spinks and Msdms. Thornton, Cavalliero, Moss, Rampy, and Spinks spoke in opposition to the zoning request and all of them stated they were opposed because they felt it was detrimental to the area. Mr. Dunn requested a poll of those present to tell how many were against and how many were for the zoning. The result of the poll indicated all present from the Huntington Addition were opposed to the zoning. Mr. Huie asked permission to make a rebuttal about the opposition. Mr. Huie restated his reasons for requesting the zoning and then announced that he was withdrawing his zoning request at this time. The Public Hearing closed at 9:05 p.m. Mr. Johnson moved to accpet Mr. Huie 's withdrawal pending notification by letter to the City Secretary within 24 hours.

PROPERTY LOCATED EAST OF METHODIST CHURCH BETWEEN SPUR 350 AND HIGHWAY 183 Mr. Arnold Cox presented the plat for Howard Johnson's Motel Development. Chairman Tyson read into the minutes a letter from City Consulting Engineer, Bill Ratliff, dated October 15, 1973. 2-859, CITY OF EULESS, HOWARD JOHNSON ADDITION CONSTRUCTION PLANS 1 . Plans indicate a catch basin on site which will drain to the Northwest and discharge in Highway right-of-way. This method is, of course, acceptable to the City, but will require Texas Highway Department approval . 2. An existing 6-inch sanitary sewer and proposed 8-inch water are shown along the South side of the property. These two lines should be noted to be located at least 10 feet apart for State Health Department requirements. 3. At the point where the existing 8-inch water main crossing Highway 183 turns East the proposed 8-inch main heads West. We would suggest that a valve be located on the 8-inch main headed West. 4. A storm sewer junction box is shown just East of the pool which will connect to the existing storm drain. Since this storm drain is the property of the State Highway Department , such a connection should be covered by highway permit. 5. The City of Euless Master Water Plan indicates a 3-inch major transmission main which is proposed to cross this tract approximately where the restuarant is located. In order not to delay this project any more than necessary, we believe that it would be acceptable to move the location of this future main to the East end of the Howard Johnson tract. In order that this main can be installed later, we would recommend that a 15-foot water easement be shown along the East end of this tract for the installation of this 3-inch main. (Page Five , Regular Meeting, Planning and Zoning Commission, October 16, 1973) Coe 6. The fire hydrant detail shown indicates a hydrant brand "or approved equal". This notation should be removed since the City Ordinances establish a fire hydrant specification. Mr. Cox agreed to comply with the City Engineer's letter. Mr. Pippin made a motion to approve the final plat of the Howard Johnsons Addition to the City of Euless based on their compliance with items in City Engineer's letter dated October 15, 1973.

CONSIDER FINAL PLAT APPROVAL: WILSHIRE SHOPPING CENTER, PROPERTY LOCATED EAST OF WILSHIRE DRIVE BETWEEN HIGHWAY 183 AND SAGEBRUSH TRAIL There was no one present to represent the Wilshire Plat, but the engineering having been corrected on the sewer line, the Planning and Zoning Commission considered the plat. Chairman Tyson read into the minutes a letter from City Consulting Engineer, Bill Ratliff, dated October 16, 1973. 2-858, CITY OF EULESS, WILSHIRE SHOPPING CENTER We have received revised plans for the Wilshire Shopping Center sanitary sewer line as requested at your previous meeting.
