(Single Family Detached Dwelling District) to PD (Planned Development) for
professional office with R-1 standards.
Director of Planning & Development Bo Bass stated that there is an existing
home on the property that Mr. Colby wants to convert into an office. He stated
that the Planning & Zoning Commission voted to deny the request in May. This
request was tabled at the June 8 City Council meeting to allow reconsideration
by the Planning & Zoning Commission. On June 15, the Planning & Zoning
Commission decided not to reconsider the request and, therefore, did not hold a
public hearing. He noted that approval of this item will require six affirmative
votes.

Jack Harris, 106 E. Huitt Lane; Walter Florence, 102 Main Place; Elizabeth
Blany, 507 Main Place; and Betty Fuller, 505 Cullum Dr. spoke in favor of the
request stating that the proposed office would be a definite enhancement over
the property's current condition and its continued use as residential.
Mr. John Colby, Colby-Stanley Properties, 1905 Central Drive, Bedford, Texas,
stated that his business is remodeling homes and this property will be used as a
two-man office. He also plans to sublease a portion of the home to a similar type
business. He stated that there would be no customer activity after dark, although
he may occasionally have to come into the office to work after hours.
Mayor Saleh asked for any opponents.
Richard McNeese, 302 Whitener, stated that although he is a Planning & Zoning
Commission member, he was speaking as a citizen living in the area. He stated
that changing the zoning would definitely be spot zoning. He did not agree with
the property being rezoned in order to get the house restored.
There being no additional opponents, Mayor Saleh closed the public hearing at
8:06 p.m.
ITEM NO. 25 APPROVAL OF FIRST AND FINAL READING OF ORDINANCE
NO. 1367

favor.
City Council Minutes Page 9 of 14 August 10, 1999

Commission recommended approval two years with conditions.

ITEM NO. 28 TABLED EXCEPTION FOR CASE NO. 99-01-CC
Director of Planning & Development stated that the multi-family complex at 333
East Denton Drive was originally two separate complexes owned by separate
owners. The owners have submitted an application to replat the two properties
into one lot so that they may fence the entire property. Replatting would require
City Council Minutes Page 11 of 14 August 10, 1999
compliance with minimum illumination levels, and the applicant believes that the
existing lighting is adequate.
Mr. Bill Summerfield, 5949 Sherry Lane, Suite 1400, Dallas, Texas, representing
the owner, requested the item be tabled for further review and that it may not be
necessary for an exception to the minimum pavement illumination requirements.
City Attorney Bob McFarland suggested tabling the request indefinitely, because
if it is brought into compliance, it will not need to come back before City Council.
Council Member Porterfield motioned to table indefinitely the request for
exception for Case No. 99-01-CC at the request of United Dominion Realty Trust,
Inc., for exception to the minimum pavement illumination requirements of the

Mayor Saleh opened the public hearing at 8:41 p.m. for Zoning Case No. 99-04-
PD, for the request of Robert Hudiburg regarding change of zoning on Lot 3R,
Block 1, 183 Addition, also known as 801 West Euless Boulevard, from TX-10
(Texas Highway Ten Multi-Use District) into PD (Planned Development
conforming to TX-10 zoning district development standards, and allowing uses
that are allowed by right in C-2 (Community Business District) zoning [that is,
only the C-2 uses that do not require a Specific Use Permit], and allowing the
Pawn Shop use that is allowed in I-1 (Light Industrial District).
Director of Planning & Development Bo Bass stated that state law forbids a city
requiring a specific use permit for a pawn shop and that they are only allowed in
Euless in the 11 and 12 districts. The applicant is, therefore, requesting a planned
development. He stated that the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended
approval with conditions.
Mayor Saleh asked for any proponents.
City Council Minutes Page 12 of 14 August 10, 1999
Mr. Bill Pasteur, 1900 Trailwood Drive, spoke on behalf of Robert Hudiburg
stating that Mid-Cities Pawn Shop, currently located on FM 157 in Euless, is
having to relocate their business because of the widening of FM 157. He noted
that there would not be outdoor storage.
Mr. Daniel Arnold, 700 Faun Dr., stated that he is a citizen who saw a flier on the
rezoning and spoke in favor of allowing the pawn shop to relocate along SH 10.
Mr. Bret Chatham, 2602 Cinnamon Ct., Euless, manager of Mid-Cities Pawn
Shop, explained that records are kept on all items pawned and that the police
department gets copies.
Mr. Jimmy Payton, 212 E. Huitt Lane, stated his support of this request. He
stated that he has constructed an office building that he will be occupying, as well
as leasing, adjacent to this site and is not concerned that the pawn shop will
harm adjacent businesses.
Mr. Robert Hudiburg, 1801 Cheek Sparger Road, Colleyville, speaking as the
applicant stated that the pawn shop will no longer sell hand guns.
Mayor Saleh asked for any opponents.
Ms. Cynthia Gartman, 403 Hideaway Ct., Euless, stated that she was not in favor
`.. of the pawn shop being next to the park, because she takes her children to J. A.
Carr Park.
Mr. Bill Barrow, 1908 Oak Forest Drive, Round Rock, stated that he owns
adjacent property and believes that the pawn shop will devalue his property.
Mr. Brian Klein, The Hoover/Klein Group, Inc., 1361 W. Euless Blvd., Suite 99,
Euless, representing the applicant, distributed a design drawing and elevation of
the proposed building.
In rebuttal, Mr. Pasteur noted that there is a building and trees between this
building and the park.
There being no additional proponents or opponents, Mayor Saleh closed the
public hearing at 9:40 p.m.
ITEM NO. 30 APPROVAL OF FIRST AND FINAL READING OF ORDINANCE
NO. 1375
Council Member Tyson stated that he has a problem with the use, although he
thinks the building will be good.
Mayor Pro Tem Miller stated that he knew the City would get a good building at
the location on Highway 10. He said for the past seven years the City Council
has pushed hard for its building standards, and he believes the City is going to
get good building standards, regardless. His problem is that the City spent a
City Council Minutes Page 13 of 14 August 10, 1999
long time making zoning changes during the last two years and had a lot of
public hearings on it. He stated that he did not think the pawn shop was the best
use of the property for the long range development of Highway 10 at this point.
He said he had a hard time making an exception. He stated that in the business
corridor, the City has had businesses they did not want to leave, and they left the
City because of various reasons. As a City Council person he has to look at it in
terms of the other five percent where he thinks he has to represent, in his
opinion, what is the best use the zoning laws allow. He said he supported
Highway 10 like everybody else, and he knew that when the City did the
Gateway Corridor on Highway 121, a lot of citizens were involved and he did not
recall any of them pushing this usage.
Council Member Hogg stated that he used to own a pawn shop and does not
know why people talk against pawn shops. He stated that they serve a purpose
and that there are people with money that purchase items at pawn shops.
Council Member Edwards stated that there are going to be pawn shops with high
standards and some without.
Council Member Baker stated that he has worked hard to improve the image of
SH 10 and thinks the construction of the three buildings east of Smoke-It
Barbeque will increase the value of adjacent properties.
Council Member Baker motioned to approve first and final reading of Ordinance
No. 1375 for the request of Robert Hudiburg for change of zoning on Lot 3R,
Block 1, 183 Addition, also known as 801 West Euless Boulevard, from TX-10
(Texas Highway Ten Multi-Use District) into PD (Planned Development
conforming to TX-10 zoning district development standards, and allowing uses
that are allowed by right in C-2 (Community Business District) zoning [that is,
only the C-2 uses that do not require a Specific Use Permit], and allowing the
Pawn Shop use that is allowed in I-1 (Light Industrial District) with the following
conditions: (1) The three 900 sq. ft. retail spaces shown on page 1 of 3 of the
site plan be limited to retail other than pawn shop, (2) There are to be no
connecting doors between the pawn shop and the other retail operations; (3) The
roof on the building as shown on page 1 of 3 of the site plan be a gabled roof,
same as the existing gables on the other two buildings as called out on sheet 1 of
3; (4) A single monument sign out front and one wall sign per tenant above the
entry way to each tenant with all wall signs to be the same size letters.
Council Member Hogg seconded the motion.
Ayes: Mayor Saleh, Council Members Hogg, Baker, Porterfield, and Edwards
Nays: Mayor Pro Tem Miller and Council Member Tyson
