Lew Ten Have, Chief Operating Officer of Christian Brothers, stated that they would comply
with conditions imposed by the City, however he stated that he thought the definition of Minor
Automotive Repair was somewhat unclear. They have proposed a nine bay facility, which
would accommodate two vehicles per bay for a total of eighteen. He noted that sometimes
people may drop off their cars during the night and that some cars are left overnight. He also
indicated there may be some work done that would be considered Major Auto Repair.
Mr. Jason Marshall, City Attorney, stated the decision that a zoning category fits into, is the
decision of the staff, not the Commission. Any variance would have to go to the Board of
Adjustment.
Commissioner Harvey expressed concern about screening the facility from the bank property on
the north. Mr Ten Have stated that the planting screen would be effective in screening the bays
from view.

Mr. Worley Stein, 205 Wildwood, Allen, representing the property owner north of this proposed
facility (the bank). He stated that he has toured the McKinney facility and stated that he believes

stored in the parking lot. He also noted he bank's concern with security since the ATM
machine is located adjacent to the site
With no one else wishing to speak, the Public Hearing was closed.
