City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission members to
receive input from the public on a rezoning request by Don
McCrary, representing Forbes Management, for' a 191.9 acre tract
of land from General Business (GB) and Pre Development (PD) to
Light Industrial (M-l). Mayor Sawyer then turned the meeting
over to Planning and Zoning Vice-Chairman Bob Andrews.
Mr. Andrews reiterated the purpose of the public hear ing and
asked Mr. Gilmore to give the location of this property.
Mr. Gilmore said the land was located between Schwab Road on the
East and Friesenhahn Road on the west and between IH 35 and the
Missouri-Kansas-Texas railroad right of way. Mr. Gilmore said at
present the front of this property is zoned General Business and Uf 1
the sides and extreme back portions are pre~development. There
were seven letters sent to adjoining property owners asking for
input, with no reply from any of them. This area is considered
to be prime industrial land.
o
Mr. Andrews then asked Mr. McCrary to to discuss their request
after advising the public that this would be the last time anyone
would be allowed to speak on this request.
Mr. McCrary said they only have a simple concept of their plans
at present. However, since this land is in the San Antonio-
Austin Corridor, they hope to have the same type as has been
planned for Tri County Development and others along the corridor.
Mr. McCrary said they have plans to front on IH 35. There cannot
be much on the sides as there is a drainage problem there. They
do not plan to use Schwab or Friesenhahn Roads. Also they do not
anticipate bringing the railroad into the front of this property.
Mr. Andrews said as there were no citizens wishing to speak and
no further questions from either the Councilor P&Z, the P&Z have
ten days in which to make their recommendation to the Council.
At this point he turned the meeting back to the mayor.
Mayor Sawyer declared the public hearing closed at 7:07 p.m. and
called for a short recess in order for the P&Z members to
reconvene in the Conference Room.
