PUBLIC HEARING
ITEM NO. 3: Discuss and consider a recommendation to the City Council for a request from Earl Wilson, for a
Specific Use Permit (SUP)to hold auctions in a Retail Zoning District at 114 N. Ballard. Earl Wilson and Regina
Wilson, prospective lessee's of the property, and Mary Parker, owner of the property, all spoke in favor of the
request. Stating that whatever codes and changes needed to be meet in order to allow this use that it would be done.
The auctions would only be held once a month on Sunday. Parking requirements could be met in rear lots, not in
use on Sundays. Robert King, business owner of 127 and 129 N. Ballard, was opposed to the use; stating that he

would not generate traffic into old downtown, an area that is really suffering and needs the business. Doyle Spurgin,
owner of the Auction House currently operated in Wylie, said that he was not opposed to the business, in fact the
sales tax dollars would be beneficial to the City. His only complaint was that his business was restricted to only have
three(3) auctions on Sunday a year and he did not feel it was fair for this business to be allowed to operate on
'Nays on a regular basis. Mr. Wyman,the building official, stated that Mr. Spurgin's SUP was restricted that way

He also is allowed auctions on any Tuesday or Saturday he chooses. Extensive comments were made back and forth
�.. between the Wilson's, Mary Parker, Robert King and Doyle Spurgin. A motion was made by Stuart Allison and
seconded by Cecilia Wood to recommend to City Council a request for a Specific Use Permit to hold auctions and
to allow a temporary SUP for one(1)year to run concurrent with the Wilson's lease to be re-evaluated after the one
