The applica- tion is in the name of Ro~W. Kelly. Commissioner Kelly was excused from the commission on this agenda item only. Mr. Callaway explained the request and Mr. Miller asked about easement for access to which Mr. Callaway indicated there was access to the residential area. Public hearing was opened. Roy Kelly identified himself as the owner of the pro- pertyinquestion, and indicated that there was no public. access road; that the road is on private property which belongs to him. His intent is to add to the machine shop which already exists, and to construct an automotive repair shop. He indicated that this property ha~ all been replatted and was now all one lot. Mr. Miller asked about the houses remaining, and Mr. Kel1ysaidthere.was only 1 house left, and it would be moved. He also said that access was to be from Texas Avenue. Mr. Hall asked about a car sales lot and Mr. Kelly indicated that was not a part of this issue, but that a Conditional Use Permit for that would be forthcoming, with a Site Plan review. Nancy Crouch then cam~ forward as an Opponent to the proposed rezoning, and identified herself as the owner of an A-Plot, and had some questions and comments. She indi- cated that when her property was rezoned the Board had suggested that they were against C-l zoning on Cooner because of the heavy traffic which might be created. She now asked about the amount of traffic which might be created from Mr. Kelly.s plans. She related an experience she had with Bryan utility trucks using her driveway rather than the gate from Cooner because the trucks were too large to get in the gate and go around what is built inside the fence. She said that there perhaps would be another access from Rosemary which has a winding gravel driveway to get to a back gate, but they used her driveway this one time to get there. She said that if Mr. Kelly was proposing to put up a fence on the property line he would effectively block any attempt of Bryan Utility to get back therewith large trucks,and wondered if these trucks would be able to comedown the road Mr. Kelly was putting there or if they would again have to use her driveway. Mr. Behling asked i.f there was an access easement across her property to which she indicated she would like to know, and hesuggestedtnatperhaps the directlonshe should take would be to retain legal counsel. Mr. Behling then said that the site plan layout for Mr. Kel1y.s property would be studied for access. it would request Lots 1-5, to ...J: p&Z Minutes 6-1]-82 page ,5 Commissioner H~rllmadeamotion to recommend approval of ,this request with the condition that staff study the area making recommendations concerning rezoning the land adjacent to this within theCity Limits.
