PUBLIC HEARING ITEM NO. 1: Hold a Public Hearing and consider a recommendation to the City Council a request from Doug and Guy Poole for a zone change from"R",Retail to "B-2", Business-2 for their property located at 103 S. Second Street and further described as Lots 13, 14, 15 and 16, Block 21 in the 1 Railroad Addition. Chairman Peddicord asked for comment from Star Mr. Phillips stated that the property is bounded by Multi-Family on the east (which is mainly occupied by single family residences)and Retail to south and north of the property. The zone change request is in compliance with the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance(the Comprehensive Land Use Plan shows a strip along Hwy. 78 that is Retail/Commercial/Business). Chairman Peddicord opened the Public Hearing. Guy Poole, 207 Hwy. 78 North,Wylie, Texas was present to speak on his behalf. Mr. Poole said that he requested the zone change for 103 S. Second St. so that he could relocate his business from its current location on Hwy. 78 when it is widened. Mr. Poole thought B-2 zoning was appropriate for outside storage and sales. Board members questioned the B-2 zoning when B-1 zoning has feed and seed store with outside sales. Mr. Poole didn't think B-1 would cover the sale of livestock and hay trailers. A tractor with a front-end loader is used for loading round bales of hay and three (3) 27' Bobtail trailers are used for storing feed. Mr. Phillips stated that Poole's previous SUP was for outside plant sales. Use of trailers for storage is wide-spread across the city. Mr. Ahrens questioned if B-1 would allow Mr. Poole to continue to do business as he is now and Mr. Phillips responded that it would not,but a SUP would and it could be specific as to what is permitted. Mr. Poole was asked if he intended to sell round bales of hay and Mr. Poole replied that he didn't plan on it due to the cost. Discussion followed regarding what type of business could be placed in B-2 if the property was sold. The Board would legally be able to change the request to B-1 zoning with a SUP because it is more restrictive than what was originally requested. Lot coverage requirements were discussed. Site Plan Review would have to be brought before the Board for approval before construction could begin. Restrictions of approved surfaces for trailers to be parked on was discussed as well as selling retail out of the trailers without the building being on the new site. No sales could occur out of an accessory use storage trailer without the main use being on site. A Certificate of Occupancy will have to be approved by the Building Inspector before Mr. Poole could open for business. Mr. Poole was asked what his intentions were regarding the existing buildings on the new property and Mr. Poole responded that the building on skids would be sold and removed and the other building would be demolished and a new building built. Mr. Poole was asked if B-1 zoning with a SUP permit would be acceptable and Mr. Poole replied that as long as he could continue his business as he does now, it would be acceptable. Mr. Poole asked if he didn't start construction right away, would he be able to lease the building for anything under B-1 use and Mr. Shaw replied that anything that was permitted in B-1,Retail or Office would be allowed there. Mr. Shaw clarified that Mr. Poole's SUP would still be good even if he leased out the property for another use prior to opening his feed and seed store. Mr. Poole stated that he sells bunnies at Easter time. Mr. Shaw suggested that the ordinance reflect what type of business Mr. Poole plans to have and the type of sales that are related to it. Chairman Peddicord closed the Public Hearing. A motion was made by Steve Ahrens to recommend to City Council a request from Doug and Guy Poole for a zone change from "R", Retail to "B-1",Business-1 with a Specific Use Permit for feed and seed store with outside sales of related items and the sale of animals under seven(7)lbs., seconded by Rich Eckman. Motion carried, (6 in favor, 1 against-Cecilia Wood). CITIZEN PARTICIPATION No citizen participation. 2 DISCUSSION ITEM NO. 1: Discuss legal requirements pertaining to P&Z Meeting Minutes. Mr. Phillips stated that Becky Rogers went to a P & Z Minutes class sponsored by the North Central Texas Council of Governments and wanted to discuss the minutes as they are currently done versus what is legally required. What is done currently is very lengthy and legal requirements are very brief. A little more detail is needed than what the legal requirement is but it can be condensed some. The Board recommended submitting the minutes from tonight in two different formats at the next meeting. Mr. Phillips would like to follow the meeting format that was included in the packets at all future meetings and the Board agreed.
