The applicant was requesting to rezone 0.249 acres from "CN" Neighborhood Commercial District to "LI" Light Industrial District. The applicant was also requesting a conditional use permit to allow for outside storage. The subject property is the home of Wright Construction, which has been used for industrial purposes. Prior to the 1930's, this property was used for a cotton gin and feed mill operation and later a sawmill was added to the site. In 1963, the current construction operations began at the site. Joe Wright, the owner and applicant, was available to answer questions and request favorable consideration of the request. With no additional speakers, no letters of protest and no petitions, the public hearing was closed. In the Commission's deliberation session, there was discussion regarding the rezoning of the 0.249 -acre site. Commissioner St. John stated concern with outside storage on the parcel of land to be rezoned. It was also noted the subject property is situated adjacent to a residence, both of which properties are accessed solely by a private driveway. Mr. Wright stated the fence would be built such that the driveway would remain useable. Mr. Fry objected to the use of outside storage on a parcel of land adjacent to housing. Mr. Oliver questioned if the parcel would be screened and Mr. Wright answered that the request included a six-foot and eight -foot composite fence. Herb Fry made a motion, with a second by Chris Coy, to deny Zone Change Request Z05- 01, and the motion failed by the following vote: Ayes: Fry, Coy and St. John Nays: Wilson and Lowery Abstain: Oliver Discussion continued with Mr. Wright stating that the subject property was zoned "CN" and useless with that commercial zoning designation.

Mr. Wright stated the height limit would be acceptable on the lot in question only. Mark Lowery made a motion, with a second by Becky St. John, to approve Zone Change Z05-01, and the motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Coy, Wilson, St. John and Lowery Nays: Fry Abstain: Oliver 031505 2 PUBLIC IiEARInG MARCH 15,2005 Next, the Commission considered the Conditional Use Request for outside storage.

Mr. Oliver noted that an easement was not an issue of concern in considering the Conditional Use Request. Chris Coy moved, with a second by Becky St. John, to approve Conditional Use Request CU05-06 on the first reading, with the stipulation that the zone change property (described as Tract 13C, Block 13, City of Grapevine), require an 8 -foot fence on the north, south and east boundaries, and the motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Fry, Coy, Wilson, St. John and Lowery Nays: None Abstain: Oliver CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST CU05-08 — CHUCK -E -CHEESE Next for the Commission to consider and make a recommendation to the City Council was CU05-08 submitted by Alice Winters for property located at 2755 East Grapevine Mills Circle and platted as Lot 5, Block 2, Grapevine Mills Addition, Phase I.
