Public Hearing
The Meara Company (Firestone, Inc.) (Agenda Item III)
Chairman Browning read the agenda item into the record as
follows:
"Public Hearing - Consider a request by The Mears Company
representing Beacon, Inc., for a Specific Use Permit for a
tires, batteries and accessories/auto repair facility on
the behalf of Firestone, Inc., with site plan approval.
The request is on Tract 2 of a tract of land located in
the City of Allen, Collin County, Texas, in the David Wet-
sel Survey, Abstract No. 977, and the William Perrin
Survey, Abstract No. 708, and being a resurvey of a part
of a called 30.26 acre tract of land described in two
tracts in a deed from Gentry T. Jones, et ux, to Milton V.
Gafney, et al, as recorded in Volume 585, Page 116, and
Volume 591, Page 159, of the Collin County Deed Records;
further described as being the southwest corner of F.M.
2170 and S.H. 5."
Mr. Perry Snavely, The Mears Company, representing Beacon,
Inc., presented the request to the Commission. Mr. Snavely
discussed some changes that they made after consulting with
staff. They added more landscaping to improve the site, and
also moved the dumpster to the back of the building.
Mr. Keener stated that the Fire Marshal reviewed the plot plan
and made a recommendation concerning the location of the fire
plugs. Staff recommends, if Commission approves this request,
that a motion be made to include the recommendations of the
Fire Marshal.
Also, staff recommends that approval of the SUP be contingent
on final flood plain findings, since The Meara Company is
requesting that parking be allowed in the flood plain. The City
has the option of not approving a SUP until final approval is
made.
The problem of traffic congestion was raised by Commissioner
Karlsruher. Staff responded by explaining that since the
zoning on this property has already been approved, a traffic
study was not required. It was the consensus of the Commission
that the proposal was a good use of the property.
Chairman Browning opened the public hearing. Dale Holt,
607 Bush Drive, Allen, Texas, spoke in favor of the proposal.
She stated she had visited several Firestone stores around the
Metroplex and found all to be very neat and well kept. As a
representative of the Allen Cemetery, she spoke to 54 lot
owners, and none objected to the Firestone facility.
Chairman Browning closed the public hearing.
