Allen Birmingham, applicant, of 11.232 Russwood Circle, Dallas, took
the Oath of Truth and explained that a lot of time has been spent on
laying out different uses for this property.
Raymond Truitt was concerned about the entrance at Northwest Highway
being a very congested intersection.
Mr. Birmingham noted that there are currently two entrances and one
exit and that the State Highway Department requires only one (1)
entrance on Northwest:. Highway.
Marcy Ratcliff explained that Community Development Staff has talked
with Public Works about the new plans for Highway 114 and the
Northwest Highway intersection. Ms. Ratcliff explained that when
that project is completed, most of the traffic problem at the
Northwest Highway and Park Boulevard intersection will be eliminated.
Mr. Birmingham noted that the east side of the property, which is
owned by the 'Tom Thumb group will be landscaped and sprinkled as
well as the whole site.
Robert Hinson, of 1807 Redwood Trail, Grapevine, took the Oath of
Truth. Mr. Hinson stated that he was the property owner to the
south of this tract and feels the development will be a goad
addition to the area and supports the variances.
