Lloyd Charles Simmons Jr., 549 Parker Drive, Euless, Texas, asked the Planning and Zoning Commission if this case was approved to allow this car wash, to please require the owner of the property to provide them with the same protection that Racetrac did PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PAGE 3 WN;UTES OF OCTOBEP 19, 1999 which included putting up a 10' fence or wall at rear and fast growing shrubbery, Mr. Bass informed Mr. Simmons that there would be an extensive masonry wall on the entire property with a 10' landscape strip and that this particular site is proposing one half of the site would be kept open space. Mr. Simmons asked if this particular Site Plan included a 24' easement. Mr. Simmons stated when Racetrac built their station they were told there is a 24' easement that no one can build on and that it had to be kept open for future alley use by the City. Mr. Bass stated the City's position had changed, that the 24' was there for circular access between the homes and the commercial property but that staff does not feel it is necessary anymore. He continued that the site proposes one half of the site to be vacant property with a 24' emergency access easement along the back property. Commissioner Grove asked Mr. Simmons if Racetrac had kept their promises to him to what Mr. Simmons answered yes. Mary Porterman, 601 Parker, Euless; Texas, asked if this would be a 24 hours car wash. Mr. Bass stated that the Commission and the City Council have the authority to limit the hours of operation of this use and as it is proposed now there would be an on site person for a ten hour period but that it would be a 24 hour service.

This property is located approximately 300 feet north of Midway Drive on the east side of F,M. 157, Commissioner Houk distributed a handout to show local car washes and stated the first time this case carne to the Commission it was decided that it was not a good fit for the community, and the reason being that each one of those circles has a carwash already, that the City does not need another carwash.

ITEM 3 CASE#99-15-SUP ® PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT Receive public input regarding a request for a Specific Use Permit on Euless Town Center Addition, Block 1, Lot 1 R; for an antique store in PD 872 zoning (Planned Development for a Shopping Center, based on C-2 Community Business District zoning). This property is located 1201 W. Airport Freeway, Suite 203. Bo Bass, Director of Planning and Development, introduced the case and stated that a Specific Use Permit is to address three issues: - 1) Is this particular use a good fit in the neighborhood? Staff feels it is a good fit. 2) Is it a good use within the community in general? Staff feels that it is because it is a commercial use and that the same style of use has found great success in several of the neighboring cities. 3) Does the use provide for the creation of any on or off site negative impacts - environmental or otherwise. Staff feels it does not, since it is self- contained and it is a retail operation. He stated that the only concerns staff would have would be hours of operation and signage, but that code is extremely strong in terms of what can and cannot be done. Mr. Bass stated that staff recommends two conditions: 1) That the Specific Use Permit be linked to the actual lease period i.e. if the applicant would be leasing this property for two years, the SUP would run for two years and that at the end of that two year period of time if the applicant proved to be a good neighbor, he or she would come forward and re-apply for an SUP at no charge, and P & Z and Council would have the chance to make the decision at that time about whether this use should go forward. He stated that limiting the use of an SUP is something that the Commission and Council have done on a regular basis. 2) That the SUP be tied to a specific entity or individual if possible, i.e, the owner, applicant or corporate name. Mr. Bass stated staff recommended approval. Chairman McMillon opened the Public Hearing. Judy Snyder, 500 Dickey Drive, Euless, Texas, stated that her purpose was to put in an antique shop, screening her antique dealers who would rent spaces in her shop so that she would have quality antiques. She stated that she also would have a space reserved for art to have a small gallery. Ms. Snyder stated that she felt this shop would PLANNING AND ZONING coMMISSiON PAGE 5 MINUTES OF OCTOBER 19. 11999 be good for the community. There being no other speakers, Chairman McMillon closed the Public Hearing, ITEM 4 CASE #99-15-SUP -- RECOMMENDATION REGARDING A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT Consider a recommendation regarding a request for a Specific Use Permit on Euless Town Center Addition, Block 1; Lot 1 R, for an antique store in PD 872 zoning (Planned Development for a Shopping Center, based on C-2 Community Business District zoning). This property is located 12011 W. Airport Freeway, Suite 2013. Commissioner McNeese asked for clarification of what the applicant is trying to do. He asked if this was a business that she had done somewhere else.. Ms. Snyder answered that she had rented spaces in antique malls several times. She stated that in her lease form she has specified no collectibles that are under 20 years old. Commissioner McNeese asked how many sublease spaces she would have at any point in time. Ms. Snyder answered she has space for 27 subleases, the largest ones being 8 x 10 and the smaller 4 x 6. Ms. Snyder stated that for the first couple of months she would be at the register and that the way this works is that whenever a dealer rents a space in an antique mail, he would also be responsible for one or two days out of the month to come in and work at the register. She continued that probably the first couple of months her shop would not be filled with dealers, but that she would be there every day. Commissioner McNeese asked what the square footage of this space would be. She answered 2,400 feet. He asked what the initial lease term would be and Ms. Snyder- answered 5 years. Commissioner McNeese asked if there would be any options to renew, to which she answered that at the end of her 5 years she could renew according to her lease. Commissioner McNeese asked what name she would be operating her business under. Ms. Snyder answered Yahudeit Antique Boutique. He asked what her days of operation would be. Ms. Snyder answered Sunday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Commissioner Sloan asked the applicant what was the length of the contract that a dealer would sign. Ms. Snyder answered that her contract with them would be for 6 months. Commissioner Grove asked what percentage of the store would she expect to have set aside for art. Ms. Snyder answered that she has a small room about 12 feet long and 6 feet wide in the back of the store. Commissioner Grove suggested to perhaps look for a larger lease space to encourage more furniture dealers. Ms. Snyder stated that the antique dealers do have the option of leasing two or three spaces. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PAGE 6 MINUTES OF OCTOBER_19, 1999 Chairman McMillon asked the applicant if she would have a problem with tying the term of the SUP to her ownership or to a term of 5 years.
