(Tommy) Hardy Joy Carroll Sue Martinez Director of Community Development Planning Aide Secretary Chairman Lamb called the meting to order and explained the purpose and procedures thereof. OATH OF TRUTH Chairman Lamb then issued the Oath of Truth to those in attendance who expressed a wish to speak relative to the evening's agenda. The Oath of Truth was issued to Ms. Cherie Lang, Les Matthews, Pat Meyer and Ronald Tillery. NEW BUSINESS The Board of Zoning Adjustment was first to consider BZA 84-25 submitted by Les F. Matthews. Mr. Matthews, of Allen Properties spoke, explaining that they are requesting a variance so that they can build an Office Warehouse project behind the DFW Airfreight Center. He noted that if required to meet the set back requirements it will reduce the tractor-trailer access from 95 feet to 50 feet and it would create an unworkable situation and prevent the operation of his business. Then a question from Board member, Garry Tischler, was relative to if either of the buildings A or B on the site/floor plan which was submitted with the application, was built at this time. It was noted by Mr. Matthews, that they were not. Mr. Matthews also noted, that the variance requested in the back of the building was from 30 feet to 5 feet so the building could be moved back to 5 feet from the edge of the property line and the front yard set back be reduced from 30 feet to 10 feet. This would allow for the tractor-trailer access for loading and unloading freight. Then there were questions from the Board, relative to parking spaces around the building. Mr. Matthews noted that parking would be put in the front and side of building to met the City's parking requirements. Then there was discussion among the Board members and Tommy Hardy, Director of Community Development, relative to the granting of this variance setting a precedence over the other open area surrounding this location. Tommy Hardy noted that when the Planned Industrial and Commercial Districts were written, they were written so that there was no getting around the setback requirements established.
