Then Mr. Hardy introduced Mr. Troy Fuller who was issued the Oath of Truth by Chairman Waldrip. Mr. Fuller gave his address as 3607 Softwind Court, Grapevine, Texas.

Ths- applicant will be requesting "CC", commmity Commercial zoning if the Board • Zoning Adjustment approves variances as requested. Mr. Hardy explained the request while referencing the concept plan which illustrated the subject variances. The following variances are needed for the three tracts: Following Mr. Hardy's comments, Chairman Waldrip issued the Oath of Truth to Mr. John T.

Mr. Evans proceeded to explain what he believed to be justifiable reasons for variances to be approved, noting that the shape of the tract limits the flexibility and placement of structures, creates a hardship in determining parking and flow patterns as well as landscaping requirement, landscaping code is inflexible for odd-shaped tracts, large lot area requirements restrict the type of users for the lots, the inter-development landscape buffer zones inhibits aesthetics and ability to unify the planned center appearance, and the location of planned center turn lane on Tate will create a hardship on traffic flow and access to the center. Then, Mr. Richard Atkins accepted the Oath of Truth from Chairman Waldrip noting that his address is 2954 Trail Lake in Grapevine. Mr. Atkins expressed his approval of eliminating the side-yard landscape requirement for the tract; however, otherwise the developer has incurred the remaining hardships by attempting to overdevelop the tract. Joy Carroll read into the record a letter objecting to commercial development of the subject tract, specifying difficulty with drainage problems. The letter was from Mr. John T. Rogers of 1210 Valley Vista and when Chairman Waldrip asked if others wished to speak in the audience, Sharron Spencer of 3214 Wintergreen Court accepted the Oath of Truth and advised that she opposed the variances as requested as well as noting a need to eliminate curb cuts on Ball Street to protect Board of Zoning Adjustment December 1, 1986 Page the privacy of the residential neighborhood. Following Mrs. Spencer's statements, Mayor-Pro Tem Ted Ware accepted the Oath of Truth and noted a concurrence with Councilwcman Spencer's concerns.
