Mayor Pro-Tem Dalton declared open the public hearing for joint consideration of Zoning Application No. Z-75-4, D. W. Hutchinson requesting a zoning change on a tract of land described as: being a tract of land out of the H. Suggs Survey, Abstract No. 1415, in Tarrant County, Grapevine, Texas, as recorded in Volume 2046, page 596 of Deed Records of Tarrant County, Texas.

The property is generally described as being 2707 � Anderson Gibson Road. Mr. D. W. Hutchinson appeared before the Council and made his presentation, explaining that his main reason for making the zoning request was so that he could open a bait tackle shop and sell fishing equipment and beer. He stated that the building was there and that he needed the extra source of revenue for a livlihood. The Assistant City Manager then pointed out the loca�ion of the property and gave the existing uses of the surrounding property. Member Joe Kennedy �nquired about the amount of traffic tha-t is being received by this area .o support this type of business. Mr. Hut�hinson stated that there was � _ots of traffic on the weekend from people that were just driving around. I� Councilman Eidson stated that he felt the location was very remote and that it was not accessible to a fishing outlet on the lake; he then inquired how the applicant would be able to support said business in this area. Mr. Hutchinson stated that he would be able to operate with a low overhead which would result in lower prices which would in turn attract certain traffic to the area such as through local bass clubs and anglers. Councilman Dilg then inquired if the building had been inspected, and if a copy of the report was available. The City Manager replied that no inspection had been made. Commissioner Ted Ware then inquired if a line of division had been made between the applicant' s residence and the � , � , � � ; proposed bait shop. The Assistant City Manager explained that a line � of division had indeed been made on the site plan. Mayor Pro-Tem Dalton thanked Mr. Hutchinson for his presentation and then recognized the following persons from the audience who wanted to speak for or against the zoning application: Mr. E. W. Willis, Jr. , of 3131 Turtle Creek - stated that he owned the adjoining property to the east of the applicant which was about 180 acres zoned "I-1" light industry. He then stated that he was not against a person wanting to earn extra money but that he felt a � bait store would lower the surrounding property values in the area; ` he then requested denial of the zoning request. Commissioner Ted Ware asked Mr. Willis his opinion of "C-2" Community Business District zoning. Mr. Willis stated that he was not in favor of a blanket C-2 � Zoning and that he would have to see what the specific use of C-2 zoning would be before he could make a decision. Member Conrad Heede � asked Mr. Willis what he had in mind for his property. Mr. Willis explained that he felt the highest use would be high rise office buildings that overlooked the golf course. �� , , Mrs. A. D. Thornhill of 2511 Anderson-Gibson Road stated that she did not feel that the area was ready for this type of business and '' she felt that any off-premise permit that would be approved would be � detrimental to the area. She stated that she owned the property to the south of the applicant and that she was against the zoning. ; f Mrs. C. F. Pirkle of 1804 Camelot stated that she did not live in � the area but that she held the note on property within 200 feet of the � applicant. She stated that she felt the road was too narrow to hold € any additional traffic and that she was against the zoning. € � ry Sandra Foster of 3509 Anderson-Gibson Road stated that she felt � there wasn' t adequate police protection in the neighborhood to support this business or any additional traffic. She further stated that this ` area had a country atmosphere and th at this area should be left alone ± until persons like Mr. Willis developed the area. Mrs. Kathy Pirkle of 3633 Anderson-Gibson Road stated that she £ was against the zoning. � � � Mr. Darrell Pirkle of 3633 Anderson-Gibson Road stated that the � road in this area was too narrow to support any additional traffic and � that he felt this type of land use would be detrimental to the area. � w Mr. Douglas Pierce of Austin Patio Ranch stated that he was the � foreman of the ranch. He then stated that they did a lot of business at the ranch and that they never had any trouble; he stated that he � couldn' t see how this zoning could hurt the area. He further stated � that there would be enough business to support a tackle shop. ; Sandra Foster then stated that very little traffic from Austin Patio Ranch came down Anderson-Gibson Road; and that the drinking at F the ranch was supervised where drinking off-premise (as requested in � the application) would not be. i Commissioner Ted Ware stated that this case was similar to the � Jesse Stockstill zoning case; where, through contacts, Mr. Stockstill � was able to attract business to an isolated area. Mr. Ware then asked � each of the persons that had spoken for or against the zoning applica- ' tion if they would be in favor of granting a "C-1" Neighborhood Busines5 Zoning.
