either asphalt or concrete, and the number of commercial vehicles
driving to that property per day.
The Commission also discussed with Mr. Marquart the use of
road oil, as indicated on the site plan, to maintain the dust
problem from the white crushed rock surface.
Bill Petty, Building Official, spoke before the Commission on
the surface of the fire lane as required for site plan approval and
as required for plat approval under the Subdivision Ordinance.
Chairman Pendleton allowed the following individuals to speak
before the Commission on the proposed revised site plan:
Bob Burda, with Exxon Corporation -- an adjoining property
owner, spoke before the Commission on various concerns
Exxon had, those being the Caruth building sign located
on the west elevation, the maintenance of the proposed
wooden fence and the landscaping adjacent to the property
line near Exxon's property due to the closeness of the
building to the property line, the dust problem from the
white crushed rock surface, and the stacking of the lumber
and the maintenance of the wooden fence from becoming an
eyesore.
Mr. Marquart responded to the various concerns that
Mr. Burda had pointed out.
Bruce Bowman, with Bank of Texas -- owners of the property
at the present time, spoke before the Commission on the
use of the property, the proposal by Caruth Building Service
and the concerns Exxon posed.
Vern LaHart, with D.L.M. -- another adjoining property
owner, spoke before the Commission in opposition to
approval of the revised site plan.
There was further discussion between the Commission, Mr. Burda
and Mr. Marquart on the use of asphalt paving for the fire lane
and what affect trucks and fork lifts would have on that surface.
Also, the delayed response by Exxon to Caruth's proposals was
reviewed and discussed.
The regular session of the Planning and Zoning Commission
was recessed by Chairman Pendleton at 8:18 p.m. The meeting was
reconvened at 8:27 p.m.
Discussion continued on the proposed site plan, particularly,
the elimination of the Caruth building sign located on the west
elevation. Mr. Marquart advised that Caruth Building Service would
be amendable to delete the sign on the west elevation.
