III P13BLIC HEARING #ZC-85-28 REQUEST OF ES-TELLE LODGE NO. 582 AF & AM FOR A CI-IANGE OF ZONING ON TRACT 3B, J. P. I-IALF6-R-D SURVEY, ABST, -111, LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF TROJAN TRAIL AND ECTOR DRI'rT. ----...........................................-1----------.......................................................................................................-, Chairman Lynch opened the public hearing and explained the rules of such hearing. Mr. Jack Bullard, Past N-laster, represented the Estelle Lodge #582 in their reqUeSt for rezoning. The lodge purchased property in 1963, and constructed the lodge in 1.966. Due to high taxes on the property, Mr. Bullerd stated that the lodge needed to develop or sell this property in order to get sol-ne kind of return. Mr. Bullard stated that the lodge felt that 0-1 zoning would be the best use of the land. Mr. Owens stated that in the past they had problems with this kind of zoning so close to n. school area because a 7-11 or another convenience type store would detract the students from school and would also build more traffic in that area. Mr. Ingrain added the idea of limiting uses. Mr. Bullard stated that they would perfer an office building or drug store. 1'AC.;.I?; l`ltTtEl FlIanning & Zoning Commission - September 3, I985 Chairman Lynch wondered how the lodge came to be because according to the current zoning'' ordinance it is a non-conforming ing Ilse. Mr. Bullard said that at the time it was built, it was not considered a non--conforming use. Several =ears ago the Lodge was located on Main Street; the highivay department needed the land for construction of Airport Freeway and the dodge was forced to sell. The lodge bought this particular piece of property because at the time it was the only Piece they could find that was the size they needed. Chairman Lynch further inquired if the lodge might approve selling to a convenience store type tenant. Mr. Bullard said they have given this consideration and they would prefer a drug store or office building. However, they would not mislead the Commission; if they sold the property and there was no restriction on .it, they would tell the person that owned it that they could use all conforming C--1 uses. Chairman Lynch asked for any additional proponents. 'There being none, he asked for opponents. There being no opponents, lie closed the pub-lie hearing and opened discussion for Commission members. Chairman Lynch wanted to verify that the lodge is a nonconforming use. Also, there is some conflict in the zoning or(Ilina.nce as to what zoning category would be required for th=u., lodge: to eonforpa; whether it would be C-2 or C-1 w(SP, or =whether it would be allowed in C-1 without an SP. He thought it would rewire C--1 with a Specific Use Permit. If the commission were to approve C-1, would it be interpreted as a grant of an SP. Mr. Knight stated an SP would be required in a C-1 zoning district. He noted that the City Attorney has detect rood that an SP is an additional use of right to all other uses that are customarily allowed in the zoning category. Chairman Lynch said that if the interpretation was that the use was for a fraternal lodge, an SP would be required in order to be in coinpliarice with a C-1 category. Mr. knight agreed. Most of the ComrnisSion Members were concerned with retail sales on this corner (i.e., convenience stores). The Commission discussed deed restrictions being placed on the property to prevent Undesirable Liles. Chairman Lynch asked for a motion. Mr. Owens made a motion to reccommend approval for Ironing Case #8-1-28 as presented. Mr. Hill seconded the motion, and the vote is as follows: Ayes: Messrs. Owens, Hill, Lynch, Ingram & lcMillon Nays: Mr. `Fy,son Chairman Lynch declared the notion carried. PAGE 1•'(Jll.R � Planning & Zonin Commission September 3, l.l3f±`5 1985-108 IV.

Chairman Lynch opened the public hearing and explained the rules of such hearing. Chairman Lynch stated that three questions must be answerers affirmatively; (1) the granting of the variance will not adversely affect the City of Euless; (2) the grantin of the variance will not adversely affect neighboring property owners; and (3) in the opinion of the variance committee, a hardship on the land exists and was not self-created. Donald Reaves, 109 Main Place, applicant for this fence variance, presented his case. Mr. Reaves stated that his first. concern was that of a safety hazard. He took a Boll of the residents and he received no opposition. :fir. Reaves distributed an illustration of his fence and property. lie responded to the three points and felt he could answer all affirmatively. Mr. Ingram asked how far from the east building line was the sidewalk. Mr. Reaves answered 24 feet. Mr. Ingram asked if he would maintain a level top on the fence or let the level flow with the, property. Mr. Reaves stated that the top of the fence will be essentially level. ` Chairman .Lynch asked for additional proponents if any. Mr. floe Moreland, 2501. Spring, Valley, Beford, Texas, stated that he thought the feric°e would enhance the property, and lie wished more residents were as conscientious of their property as the Reaves. Cliairman .Lynch asked for any opponents. There being; none, Ile closed the public hearing. Mr. Tyson &. Mr. Ingram felt that there was no adverse affect on the City of Euless or neighboring properties and that it was riot a self-imposed hardship. They could not see any reason not to approve this case.
