Public Hearing
Barshall Development (Goodyear) (Agenda Item III)
Chairman Armand read the agenda item into the record as follows:
"Public Hearing - Consider a request for a Specific Use Permit and site
plan approval for a tires, batteries, and accessories use by Mr. Don Wacht-
man, representing Barshall Development Co., Inc. on property situated in
the Peter Weisel Survey, Abstract No. 990, and being Lot 1, Block 1 of Mr.
Quik Addition, an addition to the City of Allen, Collin County, Texas;
further described as being located at 703 E. Main Street, Allen, Texas."
Mr. Tom Keener discussed the site plan with the Commission. He stated that the
access to F.M. 2170 shown on the original plan has been closed and the access
is proposed to be through an easement to the east (25' wide) into the Greenlight
property. The 10 -foot right-of-way needed for the reconstruction of F.M. 2170
is shown on the site plan.
Commissioner Garcia questioned whether the site plan meets the requirements of
the Fire Marshall and Mr. Keener advised that it does.
Mr. Don Wachtman, Tulsa, Oklahoma, representing Barshall Development, ad-
dressed the Commission. He advised that he was a consultant for Goodyear, and
at that he would like to amend the request to include the addition of a
living screen along the north end of the property along with the chain link
fence, and to add irrigation to all of the landscaping. He stated that the rear
of the proposed building will be to the existing tennis courts on the west. All
entry will be on the east side of the building. He stated that the structure will
be either brick or rock. The landscaping will be completed per City standards.
Commissioner Garcia suggested that the landscaping on the south end of the
property should be placed behind the right-of-way in order to preserve it at the
time of reconstruction of F.M. 2170.
Commissioner Armand asked about the screening of the air conditioner and Mr.
Wachtman responded that the dumpster will be enclosed and that the air con-
ditioning unit will be placed on top of the building with some screening.
Commissioner Garcia questioned staff as to the requirement for handicapped
spaces, and Mr. Keener stated that the plan will meet the National Code. Mr.
Wachtman added that the waste oil tank will be enclosed, and the oil will be
hauled off to a reclaimer.
Chairman Armand opened the public hearing.
With no one wishing to speak for or against this proposal, Chairman Armand
closed the public hearing.
Chairman Armand referred the Commission to Section 2.06 of the Comprehensive
Zoning Ordinance and discussed the question of whether or not this development
would be compatible with the surrounding development.
