Mr. Morrison stated that he has been renting across the street for about 15 years and would to stop renting and have his own store. Mr. Carli asked the dimension of the lot and the anticipated size of the building for the lot. Mr. Morrision replied that it is 135'x100 and that he would like to build the biggest that he can. Mr. Carli asked what are the City plans for this area relative to drainage, and if the City anticipates giving away right-of-way which would make him have a larger commercial area. Mr. Simmons stated that there are no particular plans at this time and that he has never originated a recommendation to dispose of City property and he does not intend to. Mr. Simmons stated that the City reponds to requests for vacating as appropriate; if Mr. Morrison asked for a public dedication of right -of -way to him, Mr. Simmons would review the entire matter regarding ingress and egress to the area being served by the unclosed part of Mulberry including all land owners. Mr. Simmons stated that he probably would recommend to retain, he does not like to dispose of land for no particular reason. There was no one else present to speak for or in opposition to the proposed rezoning. Mr. Malone moved to approve the request. Mrs. Roberts seconded. Mr. Keith voiced concern that it would be spot zoning and Mr. Carli expressed concern that the proponent would at sore future date request the abandonment of Mulberry Avenue from the City Commission expanding his property site.

Page 2 The next item on the agenda was the consideration of the site plan tabled for an automo- tive center, sales and service for John Childers, located at 2710, 2714, and 2716 Orlando Drive in a GC -2 zone, represented by Mr. John Childers. Mr. Childers stated that the entire property would be for automotive service. Mr. Carli asked if oil spillage and radiator overflow had been taken into consideration. Mr. Childers stated that there would be underground storage for any type of chemical and it is spot checked by E.P.A. Mr. Carli asked the size of and location of storage tanks. Mr. Childers stated that there would be one per tenant, there would be five tenants and at least five tanks under the drain area. Mr. Malone asked if the parking spaces would be used for anything other than customer parking. Mr. Childers replied "no." Mr. Childers stated that in the display area shown there will be five cars displayed there and six inside, the rest of the area would be for automotive repair. There will be two parking spaces outside each bay, 30 bays. The Chairman asked if the most autos on display for resale would be 11. Mr. Childers stated "11 ". Having gone by there today, Mr. Carli asked if the cars that are parked there are for sale or repair. Mr. Childers could not give a correct answer but he would have to say the cars out front are for sale and the cars in back are for detailing. Mr. Simmons stated that there is a need to have the building sprinkled and the need for additional landscaping. Mr. Simmons said that he reviewed the plan as a preliminary and it is almost to the point of being what could be a final site plan, then we get to the questions of what do we do relative to the business license question that brought Mr. Childers here in the first place. If the Board choose to approve the site plan with the reservations shown on the mark up, what do you do, if anything, in recommending some form of temporary license and what type of time -frame do you place on Mr. Childers for further performance under this site plan. The Chairman asked Mr. Childers if the gentleman detailing autos, under this site plan, would be there. Mr. Childers stated "no." Mrs. Roberts asked if a three-month temporary occupational license would be suf- ficient. Mr. Simmons said he would not recommend that the Board wait that long for the final site plan, he could see no reason why it would take no more than two more weeks to get the site plan into final form. Mr. Malone stated that it is a preliminary concep- tual site plan and asked if the Board could not give conceptual approval on the site plan and do nothing on the license. The Chairman stated that "yes" the Board could do that and Mr. Malone so moved. Mr. Davidson seconded. Mr. Childers stated that at the last meeting this is what the Board requested so he could get a temporary license. Mr. Malone stated that the Board asked for a site plan, that this is a conceptual prelimi- nary site plan which is beginning to look like what the Board wants to see, this is not a final site plan and it does not meet the criteria for a site plan and the Board cannot give approval. Mr. Carli expressed concern with the set - backs, green areas and the like. Mr. Simmons stated that the site plan has deficiencies and there is no concern he has with this other than final engineering which is not a site plan matter. Chairman Norris stated, "that Mr. Childers understood the Boardlast time that we were in the mood to try to accommodate and allow him the opportunity to get a temporary occupa- tion license for one of his tenants; and this is what he is looking for now, in his good faith efforts to come up with what we want, albeit a little short of what we were hoping MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION - July 2, 1987 - 7:00 P.M. Page 3 for, and he's looking now, in conjunction with a conceptual site plan, for some type of recommendation from this Board to help him take care of his tenant in terms of a tem- porary occupational license which could be tied to the final site plan." Mr. Carli stated that he personally would be looking for the lanscaping as it encroaches upon Lake Jennie. No further discussion on the original proposed motion. All in favor. No opposed. Notion carried. Chairman Morris stated to Mr. Childers that the Board approved the concept of the site plan and the Board did not act upon the request for a temporary occupational license. The next item on the agenda was the consideration of the site plan for Scotty's #32 replacement and Sonny's Bar -Be -Cie, a retail development and a restaurant, located at 3506 and 3508 Orlando Drive in a GC -2 zone, represented by Richard A. Connell. Chairman Morris asked if there is about 100' between the entrance into the bar -be -cue and the entrance into the main area. Mr. Connell stated yes and that this entrance was discussed in detail with D.O.T and the City's Engineering Department. Mr. Malone asked, "when coning north on 17 -92, how do you get in." Mr. Connell stated that there is an existing left turn storage lane there. Mr. Carli expressed concern with the two busi- nesses using the same entrance. Mr. Connell stated that for Phase I they would like to get started as quickly as they could utilizing the existing building. Phase II would be about 6- months behind the finished construction of Phase I; probably starting around this time next year on the Scotty's store. Mr. Carli questioned the interior landscaping. Mr. Connell stated that they met City requirements and Scotty's would maintain landscaping. Mr. Carli asked where would wood be stored for the bar- be- cueplace. Mr. Connell stated that there would not be a large storage of wood. Mr. Carli suggested that they have some type of enclosed area to keep the wood. Mr. Connell stated that he would make a recommendation to Sonny's engineering group. The Chairman asked Mr. Simmons if Phase I landscaping separate from Phase II meets all City landscaping codes. Mr. Simmons replied that in the amount of frontage on 17 -92 associated with Phase I it would appear that Phase I gets ahead of the landscaping; if reversed, concern would be that the part of the landscaping necessary to carry Scotty's would be associated with Sonny's, more landscaping than necessary with Phase I. Chairman Morris stated that the Board has discussed the possible widening of the entrance way, the possible requirement for wood storage capacity for the bar- be-cue and the landscaping requirements for the bar- be-cue area. Mr. Carli suggested that the 5' landscaping on south side of property be done in Phase I. Mr. Connell stated that the only problem that he sees in doing this is because they are going to do a jack and bore operation there for an 8" fire protection line. Chairman Morris asked if Mr. Connell has any reservation of doing the landscaping along the phase line, the islands. Mr. Connell replied "no ". Mr. Keith made motion to approve subject to widening of entranceways, the wood storage and the landscaping requirements of the bar- be-cue site and separation of the two site plans. Seconded by Mrs. Roberts. All in favor. No one opposed. Notion carries. The next item on the agenda was the consideration of the site plan for Hanson's Automotive sales and service, located at 185 West Airport Blvd. in a GC -2 zone, repre- sented by Norman R. Hanson.

Mr. Hanson stated that storage of any cars would be inside the building, six bays in back for storage. Seven or eight cars could be stored inside, on the southwest corner, sightproofed on one side, for storage in the future. Mr. Hanson also stated that there will be no storage of wrecks, only mechanical break- downs. Mr. Carli questioned the signage. Mr. Hanson stated that there would be a 10x20 sign on the northeast corner that says no parking. Mr. Carli asked the Chairman if tennis greenery would be acceptable as sight - proofing. Chairman Morris stated that it is a form of sight - proofing. Mr. Carli made motion to approve with the requirement that Mr. Hanson use a type of tennis greenery on the chain link fence in the southwest corner of the property for sight - proofing. Mr. Keith seconded. All in favor. Motion carried. The next item on the agenda was the consideration of the site plan for change of use from a retail /office use to a duplex, property located at 714 West 1st Street, in a GC -2 zone, represented by Garfield Walker. Mr. Simmons stated that he indicated to Mr. Walker that his only concern was for him to find a way to introduce a little bit of landscaping. Mr. Walker explained that he does not furnish water to the apartments and that he would probably have problems using the tenants water for landscaping. Mr. Walker felt that it is impossible for him to go around to his twenty apartment houses in town and water because he does not pay for the water. Mr. Carli suggested that Mr. Walker make it a part of his leases to use water for landscaping. Mr. Keith moved to approve the change of use. Mrs. Roberts seconded. Mr. Carli asked if this was simply an interior change. Mr. Walker replied "yes ". All in favor. Notion carried. Mr. Bob Jackson of Jackson's Auto Sales, 1315 West lst Street, GC -2 zoning requests per- mission to use part of the auto display area and the back portion of his approved site plan for U -Haul trailor and truck parking.

The Chairman asked if he wanted to hold off on landscaping. Mr. Jackson stated "yes ", only on the back area along the alley where the trees are proposed because Dewitt Construction is using it for storing pipes. Mr. Jackson stated that there will be no gasoline pumps, no repairs, only rental of U -Hauls and selling cars. Mr. Malone move for approval. Mr. Davidson and Mr. Carli seconded. All in favor.
