2. Case C 05 -02
Auto Repair in GC
2807 Kell Blvd.
Mr. Dave Lilley, Trinity Hughes Construction, requested a conditional use permit to construct an auto repair
shop in General Commercial zoning at the above address. Staff recommends approval and believes this
business will be compatible with the adjacent properties. The applicant was present at the meeting.
Eight (8) surrounding property owners were notified of this request. No responses were received.
Mr. Barr inquired about the residence on Grant. Mr. Odom stated that, when a survey of the area is done,
staff has no means of knowing if a house is occupied. He further commented that houses are assumed to
be residential uses.
Ms. Cleary made a motion to approve this conditional use request; Mr. Bradberry seconded. The auto
repair use at 2807 Kell Blvd. was unanimously approved.
3. Case C 05 -03
Attorney's Office in Limited Commercial

Mr. Ken Dowdy abstained from the discussion and voting on the case.
Mr. Ron Fox of Bundy, Young, Sims & Potter Architects requested a conditional use permit to construct a
5,188 square foot attorney's office at the above address. The proposed site is a vacant lot located at the
corner of Kemp and Ninth Streets. Mr. Fox and the property owner, John Mason, were present.
Staff recommended approval and believes this project will be compatible with the surrounding area.
Twenty -one (21) surrounding property owners were notified of this request. Four (4) replied in favor; none
(0) were opposed; and one (1) responded as undecided.
Mr. Birck commented that there is traffic congestion close to the proposed approach from Tenth Street. Mr.
Fox stated the entrance onto Kemp is southbound; traffic congestion is usually north of the traffic signal.
Mr. Birck expressed concern for safety. Mr. Fox stated this use would only have a minimal impact on the
traffic. Mr. Birck stated he believed this issue should be determined by the City's Traffic or Street
Departments.
Mr. Bradberry made a motion to approve this use. Ms. Cleary seconded. The conditional use was
approved with a unanimous vote in favor.
4. Case C 05 -04

Thirty (30) surrounding property owners were notified of this request. Ten (10) responded in favor and
three (3) were opposed.
Mr. Don McClain, representative for the owner, stated the carport would be steel constructed. The owner
wants to protect her vehicle from the weather elements.
Mr. Birck asked when the two carports in the surrounding area were approved. Mr. Odom stated the City
does not maintain records of the construction of all carports. Mr. Birck asked if constructing the carport in
the backyard would be an option. Mr. McClain stated the alley appears impassable because it is overgrown
and a manhole protrudes 16 inches above grade. Mr. Bradberry stated he checked the alley and it was
doubtful that a car could drive it. Ms. Cleary stated the carport approved at the beginning of the meeting is
located in the same neighborhood.
Mr. Sons made a motion to approve this carport; Mr. Bradberry seconded. The motion carried.
