The Planning & Zoning Commission reconvened in the Conference Room
after holding a joint public hearing on zoning application 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 zoning change request is from R-1 to "SP" Specific Use Permit for
the retail sale and storage of alcoholic beverages for off-premise
consumption only; and the retail uses permitted in "C-2" Community
Business District, or in the alternatives "C-2" Community Business
District, or in the alternative a more restricted use. The property
is generally described as being 2707 Anderson-Gibson Road.
The first orderoof business was to consider the minutes of the March
4th meeting. Member Joe Kennedy made a motion to waive the reading
of the minutes and pass them as presented. Member Jerry Jordan
seconded the motion and the motion prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Ware, Jordan, Kennedy, Heede
Noes: None
Absent: Stiles, Joyce
The next order of business was to consider zoning application Z-75-4.
Member Joe Kennedy stated that he felt that this was not a place for
the sale of beer but that he would agree to grant a C-1 zoning. Member
Conrad Heede stated that he felt this area was not ready for any kind
of business and that he was not conducive to persons applying for
business zoning prematurely. Member Jerry Jordan stated that he
strongly opposed beer in this area but that he was inclined to believe
that "C-l" would not be objectionable. It was then determined that
the building had been used previously for an upholstery business.
Commissioner Ted Ware stated that this was a difficult decision; that
the area seemed somewhat justified for retail business but that- the
area was residential and probably not the place for alcoholic beverage
sales. Member Conrad Heede asked Mr. Hutchinson if he would put in
the bait shop if he wasn't given the "SP" zoning to sell beer. Mr.
Hutchinson stated that he felt he could not stock the bait shop without
the beer. He then restated that he would go ahead with the bait shop
without the "SP" zoning for beer. Commissioner Ted Ware then stated
that he was not receptive to changing a small plot. Member Joe
Kennedy then made a -motion to grant a "C-l" zoning only on the tract
of land. Member Jerry Jordan seconded the motion and the motion failed
by the following vote:
Ayes: Kennedy, Jordan
Noes: Ware, Heede
Absent: Stiles, Joyce
The motion failed from lack of a simple majority. Member Conrad Heede
then made a motion to disapprove the zoning request because the
applicant failed to show how the zoning would improve the immediate
area. Member Joe Kennedy seconded the motion and the motion prevailed
by the following vote:
Ayes: Kennedy, Heede, Ware
Noes: Jordan
Absent: Stiles, Joyce
There being no further business, Member Conrad Heede made a motion
to adjourn the meeting. The motion was seconded by Member Joe
Kennedy, and all present voted aye. The mee-III.-Iing was adjourned.
PASSED AND APPROVED, this the day of�6 1975.
