Public hearing be held to consider application SW24-02 followed by CC Louu and Yong T. Lee for a waiver to the city of Long View UDC to subdivision requirements article D section 5.02 O2 subsection A to allow for a minimum lot width of approximately 49 ft instead of the required 50 foot

minimum in single family 5 zoning district for approximately 477 acres of lot 20 new city block 1220 Lewis Chapel edition located on the south side of Oak Street east of Smith Drive. Uh so the applicant is asking a waiver um to the city of Long View's UDC requirements for the lot width. Um as you can see here on this zoning map, the property is zoned SF5. Um in SF5 zoning district, you are required to have a minimum of a 50 foot lot width. Um they are shy of just a few inches. um they want to divide this property in order to build two single family homes there and they're a few inches shy of 50 ft. They do meet the lot depth as well as the lot size requirement. Um we've had a few subdivision waiverss here in this subdivision in the past. Uh the original subdivision plat was filed in 1946 and back then it actually did show all of the lots to be 100 foot wide. However, when their surveyor went out there, it was just a few feet or a few inches shy of 100 ft. And so, staff recommends approval of this waiver. I would be happy to answer any questions at this time. Thank you, Angela. Does the commission have any questions for staff on this item? All right. I know I'll open the public hearing. Are there any in support of this request? If so, please come to the podium. State your name and address for the staff. The applicant is here to answer any questions. All right. Would the applicant like to come forward or would you do you have any anything you'd like to state before the commission or you good? All right. Thank you, sir. Appreciate it. All right. Are there any in opposition to this request?

All right. So, any additional comments or or questions? Anybody on the commission have? Okay. If there are no additional questions or comments, I will now close the public hearing. I will now entertain a motion. Motion to approve. Second. All right. Got a motion in a second. All those in favor say I. Any opposed? All right. Motion carries. Angel on regular agenda item B, please. Okay. Item B is almost the identical request, uh, but it is for lot 22, new city block 1220 of the Lewis Chapel edition, also located on the south side of Oak Street, east of Smith Street. Um, I'll go over kind of the it's the same uh issue that we have with the the previous lot. Uh, this property is also zoned single family five. Um, the original plat showed it as 100 ft. it is a little shy of that and so they are asking for a waiver so that they can subdivide this lot into two lots and build two single family homes on this property. I'd be happy to answer your questions at this time. Thank you, Angela. Appreciate it. Anybody on the commission have any questions for Angela? All right. Um I will now open the public hearing.

On to regular agenda item C. Please. Angela. Thank you. A public hearing be held to consider application S25-04 followed by Danielle Carter with Oiito requesting a specific use permit to

allow for a restaurant with a drive-thru window in general retail zoning district for a portion of abstract 186 D Sanchez survey track 43-03 section 7 located at the southeast corner of Spring Hill Road and Gilmer Road. Um, so as you can see here, I know there's a lot of information on this site plan. Uh, the applicant is requesting a specific use permit to allow for a drive-through window within general retail zoning district. A specific use permit is required to ensure no negative impact on surrounding properties. Uh, Gilmer Road is classified as a principal arterial roadway and is maintained by Tex DOT. This de develop type of development is appropriate along this roadway as long as access management is followed. Uh this development will have shared access with adjacent properties um along Gilmore Road. Staff finds the proposed zoning change is consistent with our future lane use map and surrounding uses. Therefore, it does not constitute spot zoning. I'd be happy to answer any questions at this time. Thank you, Angela. Anybody on the commission have any questions for Angela at this time? All right.
