Tom Durant and Ronald Hamm, the owner and applicant, were present to answer questions and request favorable consideration of the request. On June 19, 2001, City Council approved Conditional Use request CU01 -27 on this site allowing for the Classic Hummer automotive dealership. Three buildings were approved on a 7.778 acre site with that request, including a 19,952 square foot show room and sales area for a Hummer franchise, a 15,560 square foot parts distribution facility and a 5,506 square foot fleet sales facility that was to be relocated from the existing Classic Chevrolet dealership located at William D. Tate Avenue and State Highway 114. With the acquisition of approximately 5.923 additional acres of land to the north of the original site, the layout of the Classic Hummer dealership has been expanded and modified. The Hummer dealership show room has been expanded slightly to a size of 21,721 square feet and relocated to the northern half of the tract. The parts distribution facility maintains its 15,560 square foot size as well as its location in the rear of the development. The owner is now proposing to keep the fleet sales at the current Classic Chevrolet location, while relocating the pre -owned sales offices from that dealership into a 10,718 square foot building at the Hummer site. The originally proposed Hummer obstacle course has been removed with this request. Additionally, a high number of existing trees have been preserved along Arlington - Grapevine Road and the creek located in the rear of the site. Five existing trees located in proposed open space areas are proposed to be removed and mitigated. The five trees have a cumulative size of 93 caliper inches, and are proposed to be replaced with 31 three -inch caliper trees throughout the site. The applicant proposes a 40 -foot pole sign located at the southwest corner of the property for the pre -owned sales. A monument sign for the Hummer Dealership is proposed just north of the main entrance off of William D. Tate Avenue. Mr. Durant explained that with the proposed construction along State Highway 114, these changes were necessary for the continued operation of the Classic Chevrolet Dealership. With no further guests to speak, no letters, and no petitions, the public hearing was closed. In the Commission's Deliberation Session, there was discussion regarding the pole sign, noting a twenty foot pole sign would be consistant with the adjacent Frank Parra site. Chris Coy moved, with a second by B J Nicholson, CU02 -03 with the stipulation that the 40 foot pole sign and the motion prevailed by the following vote: to approve Conditional Use Request be replaced with a 20 foot pole sign, 021902 3 Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Busbee, Nicholson, and Bimmerman Nays: Undersander SPECIAL USE REQUEST SU02-01 — ZONE SYSTEMS, INC. Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was Special Use Request SU02-01 submitted by Zone Systems, Inc. for property located at 525 Industrial Boulevard and platted as Lot 3, Grapevine Industrial Park. The applicant was requesting a special use permit for the installation of a 75 foot monopole communications tower with a 11 feet six inches x 20 foot equipment shelter building measuring 10 feet six inches in height. In December, 2001, City Council denied without prejudice a proposal for this same 75-foot Cingular Wireless monopole, stating that more information and analysis regarding alternative sites in the proposed service area would be required. The applicant has provided coverage maps for five alternative sites along with a written statement on why each of these five sites is considered less desirable than the proposed Industrial Boulevard site. Peter Kavanagh, representing Cingular Wireless, was present to answer questions and request favorable consideration of the request. Mr. Kavanaugh explained the alternate choices of locations that Cingular Wireless had researched and the results of the various studies conducted. He explained that representatives from Baylor Hospital had denied Cingular's request to collocate, and Cingular had no agreement with TXU to utilize their poles. Chris Coy questioned why two poles could not used in place of one and Bill Bimmerman asked if the light poles at the Best Buy would equally suffice. Mr. Kavanaugh stated that the current request was definitely preferred by Cingular Wireless. Dr. Ed Lancaster, a Grapevine resident, spoke in support of the request stating that this request was a good land usage. With no further speakers, one letter of protest, one letter of support, and no petitions, the public hearing was closed. In the Commission's Deliberation Session, there was discussion regarding the current zoning and the future zoning of this lot and surrounding area. Mr. Oliver stated that it would be possible for the location to be zoned commercially in the future. Mr. Fry also noted that for the past four years the Commission has denied almost all monopoles submitted for approval. Vote 1.

The applicant was also requesting a conditional use permit for the sale and service of used cars for a period not to exceed two years. The State of Texas requires all new automobile dealerships to obtain a new vehicle dealer license from the Texas Motor Vehicle Commission. This process usually takes one year to complete, providing there are no appeals involved. In the event of an appeal, the process could take up to two years to complete. The applicant is proposing to utilize the site for the sales and service of used cars until a new vehicle dealer license is obtained. The request to rezone the site to "CC ", Community Commercial District is to accommodate the request for 021902 5 • 11, . . . . • iti used car sales since the sales of used cars is not an allowed use in the Highway Commercial District. The Conditional Use Permit will have a maximum time limit of two years during which time the applicant will be going through the application process with the Texas Motor Vehicle Commission. The conditional use permit will expire either at the time the applicant receives the new vehicle dealer license or at the end of two years, whichever is first.
