Mayor Blackmon announced the pending item of the Appeal of Peerman Corporation relative
to the ruling of the Zoning and Planning Commission re park requirements in Pharaoh Valley Towne
Houses on which a public hearing was held June 28, 1967, and called for a motion for the disposition
of this matter.
Motion by Grant, seconded by Lozano that the recommendation of the Zoning and Planning
Commission be concurred in and that the Appeal of Peerman Corporation relative to the ruling of
the Zoning and Planning Commission re park requirements in Pharaoh Valley Towne Houses, be
denied and that the owner be required to satisfy the park settlement on the basis of $2,250 per acre
which amounts to $1,217.25, in lieu of the land dedication.
Mayor Pro Tem Sizemore suggested that the $1,217.25, in lieu of park dedication, be
placed in escrow until such time as the new Platting Oi-dinance is acted upon, permitted the
applicant to continue the development of the project.
Commissioner Bradley stated that he had been under the impression that the proposed private
park would be decorative only, but that he had since learned that there will be ten different types
of playground equipment in the park, and that he feels the developer is acting in good faith and
has done all that could be expected of him, and further stated that taking into consideration the
location of the park, children would not likely use any other park.
Commissioner Jimenez stated that the proposed park would constitute a private park which
would be closed to the public.
On vote of the Council on the foregoing motion, Lozano, Jimenez, Grant and Blackmon
voted "Aye"; McDaniel, Bradley and Sizemore voted "Nay", and Mayor Blackmon declared the
motion to concur in the recommendation of the Zoning and Planning Commission that the Appeal

Mayor Blackmon reconvened the meeting and announced the public hearing on zoning
application $667-2, Mrs. Bettye Haddad, for change of zoning from "R -1B" One -family Dwelling
Cistrict to "B-5" Primary Business District, to operate an automobile sales lot on Lot 9, Block 2,
Osage Addition, and explained the procedure to be followed.
Ed Shaw, City Planner, located the property on the map; pointed out the zoning and land
use of the surrounding area; stated that at the Commission hearing held June 6, 1967, Joseph A.
Cohn, Jr. and Pat Morris, attorneys, had represented the applicant stating that the applicant
has a contract to purchase the subject property contingent upon proper zoning for a used car
business; that two property owners had appeared in favor of the request and none in opposition;
that the Staff mailed 22 notices prior to the hearing, five were returned in favor and one in
opposition; and that it was the recommendation of the Zoning and Planning Commission that the
request be denied, but that "B-1" Neighborhood Business District be granted with a Special Use
Permit for a used car lot subject to the standard screening fence requirements of the City and
that no lights be directed toward the residential properties to the rear of the subject property.
Mr. Pat Morris, attorney, appeared representing the applicant and stated that the property
in question is improved with 5 small houses, all of which are occupied, but that they will be
removed and the tract paved and improved for an automobile sale operation; presented photographs
and a sketch showing the various land uses along Everhart Road from Parkdale Drive to the subject
property; presented photographs of the used car lot on South Staples Street which was formerly
operated by the applicant and stated that the same type of operation was planned for this tract;
stated that the subject property has a depth of 190 feet, which is too deep for residential
development but more suitable for business zoning, and that there would be sufficient area for
off-street parking and other related uses; stated that the reason the applicant did not locate across
the street in Parkdale Autotown was because they wanted to sell a larger tract than they needed
or could afford; that one of the letters received by the Zoning and Planning Department in
opposition to the request was from Mrs. D.. W.. King, 4641 Mildred, which property faces the
subject property and stated that she was opposing the request because of the view. Mr. Morris
explained that he had stood in front of Mrs. King's home and that two large trees located on the

property across Mildred Drive hid from view any activity on the subject property. Mr. Morris
further stated that since the hearing before the Zoning and Planning Commission, a letter had been
received from Mr. Cecil E. Burney of Autotown, which stated that "B-5" zoning is not justified on
Lot 9, Block 2, Osage, but that business zoning of the same classification as exists in the balance
of the block would be justified. Mr. Morris stated that he did not interpret this as being an
objection. He further stated that a study had been made in 1965 by the City Staff on Everhart Road
zoning and that they felt this request was in line with the recommendations of this study; stated
that he did not feel the proposed use of this property would fall in the category of "strip zoning",
and stated that the Special Permit as recommended by the Zoning and Planning Commission would
be acceptable.
No one else appeared in connection with the foregoing application.
Motion by Sizemore, seconded by Bradley and passed that the hearing be closed.
Motion by Bradley, seconded by Jimenez and passed that the recommendation of the

on Lot 9, Block 2, Osage Addition, to operate an automobile sales lot, be denied, but that "B-1"

the standard screening fence requirements of the City; that no lights be directed toward the
residential properties to the rear of the subject property, and that an ordinance be brought forward
effectuating the change.

for change of zoning from "R -1B" One -family Dwelling District to "B-4" General Business District

ing area as beingpredominentlySingle-family use; stated that at the Zoning and Planning Commission
hearing held June 6, 1967, Mr. Campos had appeared representing the applicant and explained

that prior to the Commission hearing 33 notices were mailed, five were received in opposition and
six in favor, and that -one person had appeared in opposition; that it was the recommendation of
the Zoning and Planning Commission that the request be denied on the basis that it would constitute
spot zoning.
Mr. Feliciano Diaz, applicant, appeared and spokein behalf of his request and stated that
his intention was to ask for a Special Permit for the part-time operation of an upholstery shop for
automobiles and furniture; stated that his sewing equipment is comparable to a regular sewing
machine which would not be a noise nuisance; that he has ample space in his garage for the
operation, and that he would provide a pick up and delivery service. Mr. Diaz further stated
that he is employed at Lew Williams Company but needs the added income he would derive from
the upholstery business to help support his family.
Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Triplett, 618 Scott Drive, appeared and opposed the requested
zoning on the basis that the area is residential and that the requested zoning would downgrade
the area, and would create a parking nuisance on a residential street, and the noise resulting
from the night-time operation would be objectionable.
