Item 5: Consider request for a zoning change, Case #S-1052, from (SF -12)
Single -Family -12, to (SF -12 -SUP) Single -Family -12 Special Use
Permit, located at 420 S. Heartz Road, at the request of First

P&Z Coordinator Taryon Bowman introduced the item to the
Commission. Ms. Bowman stated that this request is to allow a
day care facility at the First United Methodist Church. She
further stated that property owner notifications were mailed to

expansion for the Church was actually approved by the Planning

and Zoning Commission and the City Council back in 1984.
Therefore, if the Church decides to expand their facility, they
already have the necessary approval from the City. The Church
currently has a Mother's Day Out program already operating,
however, they are making this request in order to receive a
license from the State, and to expand their program.
Ms. Beverly Widner and Ms. Karen Long were present to represent
this item before the Commission and answer any questions. Ms.
Widner wanted to clarify that this will not be a full time day
care facility, but rather a Mother's Day Out program from 9:00
a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Tuesday through Friday.
Chairman Munsch then opened the public hearing and asked for
persons wishing to speak in opposition to the request. Those
persons speaking were:
Butch Watson 413 Hunters Ridge Circle
He then asked for persons wishing to speak in favor of the
request. There were none.
The public hearing was then declared closed.
Following discussion Commissioner Redford moved to approve Case
#5-1052 as submitted. Commissioner Tunnell seconded the motion;
motion carried (5-0) with Chairman Munsch and Commissioners
Gross, Mayo, Redford and Tunnell voting in favor of the motion.
Item 6: Consider request for a replat of Park West Commerce Center, Lot
2-R, Block 7, located at the southeast corner of Airline Drive

Director of Planning Gary L. Sieb introduced the item to the
Commission. Mr. Sieb stated that this request is located on a
3.44 acre tract, which is being replatted out of the Park West
Commerce Center. He further stated that back in January the
City Council approved a minor platting process, under which the
Director of Planning can approve a minor plat, less than four
acres, or ask for the Planning Commission to approve the plat.
Mr. Sieb also stated that if approved tonight, this plat will
not go forward to the City Council.
Mr. Bill Dahlstrom of Akin, Gump was present to represent this
