Shelley Ruland asked about the property North of this.
Jimmy Kirby indicated the owner of the two houses to the right of his home owned the
vacant lot in that area.

Mr. Kirby indicated he would never sell the property to a business.
Discussed the surrounding property and the zoning.
The property directly across the street is residential zoning.
Polly Dwyer indicated at this time she felt that residential zoning would be more
beneficial to the residents.
Discussion regarding the zoning of the property, and that at the time this property was
zoned there was some discussion or intention to only zone the front half of those blocks
facing F.M. 4S5 as B-1, and the remainder to be zoned Single family; however, at the
time it was easier to zone the entire block.
Shelley Dwyer asked about #S of the engineer's letter referencing a waiver for the
existing structures.
Samantha, Assistant City Secretary, indicated the structures are existing; therefore
have been grand-fathered.
Ken Perry asked about item #Son the Engineer's letter referencing the building lines.
Samantha indicated the comment was made for the current zoning of B-1, but the next
item will be the zoning change to Single Family and the setbacks meet the requirements
of Single Family.

Dwyer seconded. Motion carried unanimously.
