REGULAR AGENDA ITEM 1 PUBLIC HEARING — SPECIFIC USE PERMIT w #98-35-SUP ® 203 1f'1(EST EULESS BOULEVARD Public input regarding the request of Anthony Zak, North Texas Truck Leasing, Inc., for a truck leasing facility within TX-10 (Texas Highway 10 Multi-Use District) zoning; located on A. Huitt Survey, Abstract 084, Tract 11109: 203-13 West Euless Boulevard, Bo Bass, Director of Planning and Development gave a brief description of the case. He stated the Development review Committee (DISC) recommended approval contingent on the following 3 conditions: 1 j That a 6' masonry wall be constructed on the north side of the property. 2) That the SUP be limited only to North Texas Truck Leasing and specifically the applicant Anthony Zak. 3} That the SUP be limited to the length of the lease itself. Chairman Young explained the procedures for a Public Hearing, opened the Public Hearing, and asked the applicant or applicant's representative to speak on behalf of the case. Agnes Hiersche, 1905 Kynette Drive, Euless, Texas, stated she is the owner of 203-B West Euless Boulevard. Ms. Hiersche also stated she wants to be able to lease the building to the applicant Mr. Zak but that she could not afford a masonry wall. Chairman Young closed the Public Hearing. ITEM 2 RECOMMENDATION -- SPECIFIC USE PERMIT - #98-35-SUP — 203 WEST EULESS BOULEVARD Consider the recommendation regarding the request of Anthony Zak, North Texas Truck Leasing, Inc., for a truck leasing facility within TX-10 (Texas Highway 10 Multi-Use District) zoning; located on A. Huitt Survey, Abstract 084, Tract 1H09; 203-B West Euless Boulevard. 111..'NNN[NG AND Zt:)NINK-Y C01`9NINNIO\ F:1Cer i M;\T1 U. OF NOS}P UI R 1?, 199$ Chairman Young asked Paul Kruckerneyer, City Engineer, if the size of the paved area would be large enough for this size of trucks to maneuvering. Mr. Kruckemeyer answered yes. Chairman Young asked Mr. Bass if Kevin Mercer, Development Services Manager, would determine whether paving was t#p to correct standards when issuing a Certificate of Occupancy. Mr. Bass answered that the only requirements in terms of paving surface is that the surface must be capable of supporting a "fire apparatus" and that the only control the City has right now is where there is a fire easement. Commissioner Mc-Millon stated that even though the building is neat and clean, it is not lfp to the standards intended for the TX-10 zoning district. Chairman Young asked Ms. Heirsche to come back to the podium. Chairman Young asked how long a lease Mr. Zak is proposing. Ms. Heirsche answered Mr. Zak had put one year in the contract. Commissioner Shuler asked Ms. Heirsche how long ago she sold her business. Ms. Heirsche answered she sold it in July, 1993, Commissioner Shuler asked what the building had been used for. Ms. Heirsche answered she had rented it from 1993 to 1990 to the man who bought her business, and that he had been using it as a trucking business, She said he later moved it to the airport, and after that she had various leases. Commissioner Shuler stated that since the City had adopted the TX-10 criteria, it needed to be enforced, first with the masonry wall at front and even wrapping it around to the sides; second with landscaping up to TX-10 standards. Ms. Heirsche asked about the trucks that park by the muffler shop, Commissioner Owens stated that the City of Euless has moved in a different direction and one of the high priorities is TX-10. He stated that TX-10 should be implemented to the letter. Commissioner Zahn stated that is burdensome to comply to TX-10 on a one year lease if that was all that Ms. Heirsche has. He stated he was inclined to consider a denial of the Specific Use Permit, Chairman Young stated he was in favor of redevelopment not recycling. Commissioner Bright stated that if an exception was made for this Specific Use Permit; prior applicants would question why. She stated she agreed with the other Commissioners that the TX-10 rules had to be implemented. Commissioner Bright also stated that the building looks nice but that the wall is needed and to pelt up a wall for a one year lease, is costly. Ms. Heirsche stated that if the Specific Use Permit was granted to Mr. Zak, he would probably stay more than a year. Ms. Herische asked I1I....ANNY.N6 AND GU''d.ING CONIN4ISSION PAGE 4 NIIN€ rFS 01'NL?L'F.NIBY.F: 17. 1()f4 again about the trucks by the muffler shop and why was her property different than that. Commissioner McMillon stated to repeat that the Planning and Zoning Commission is a recommending body, and to recommend less than the standards would send the wrong message. He stated that in order for the Commissioners to approve this SUP, several things would need to be done to this property to make it comply with the TX-10. Commissioner Owens stated that as a recommending body and having a Unified Development Code, TX-10 should be implemented with no variations. Commissioner Zahn made the motion to recommend denial of Specific Use Permit #98- 35-SUP based on four of the thirteen Specific Use Permit Evaluation Criteria: # 11 There is sufficient landscaping and screening to ensure harmony and compatibility with adjacent properties. # 7 The location, nature, and height of buildings, structures, walls, and fences are not out of scale with the neighborhood. # 3 The benefits that the City gains from the proposed use Outweigh the loss of or damage to any homes, businesses, natural resources, agricultural lands, historical or cultural landmarks or sites, wildlife habitats, parks, or natural, scenic, or historical features of significance; and outweigh the personal and economic cost of any disruption to the lives, business; and property of individuals affected by the proposed use. # 6 The issuance of the SUP does not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of neighboring vacant property. Commissioner Owens seconded the motion, amending it to include that it should be in compliance with the requirements of Section 84-112 The ''TX-10° Texas Highway 10 Multi Use District Standards. Commissioner Zahn agreed to the amendment. The vote was as follows: Ayes: Chairman Young, Commissioners Zahn, Shuler, Owens; Bright, McMillon Bays: None Absent: Commissioner Eggers The motion carried.
