He then declared open �the public hearing and introduced Mr. Willard Jordan who made the presentation on behalf of the applicants. Mr. Jordan explained that the application was a joint effort of property owners to zone their property "C-2" Community Business District because of , � �-�he close proximity to the neiv Safe�vay Store. He stated that � there were three residents on the property in question and that the remainder of the land was vacant. Mr. Jordan ex- pla'ined that all of the applicants were requesting "C-2" tivith the exception of A. J. Harper, H. J. Harper, and him- self. He pointed out that their businesses would not conform under the "C-2" Community Business Zoning, therefore, they i ` were requesting "SP" Specific Use Permit District and other uses as permitted under "C-2" Community Business District. � City Manager, Floy Ezell, then assisted Mr. Jordan in point- ing out the locations of the property and the requested zoning. Mayor Tate then stated that questions were in order f rom the Planning & Zoning Commission. Member Harlen Joyce asked if there was any opposition to the zoning request .

Mr. Jack Toyer, 503 � Main Street, Grapevine, stated that he was in opposition to f the zoning request because he felt that it would create � traffic flow that was too heavy for a residential street and � because he objected to the use of a house as a place of busi- �` ness. Mr. Tex Bell, applicant, explained that his business � � (plumbing, air conditioning, heating) was a maintenance ser- � � vice and that he did not feel that it would cause traffic , problems. He also explained that arrangements had been made �' for scrap metal pick-up once a month which would eliminate t a cluttered appearance. � �. Mrs. Otis Ellis; 1122 Holly Glenn; Dallas , Texas, a property �: owner within 200 feet, asked if surrounding property taxes � would be raised in the event the zoning was granted.
