change from C (Commercial) to PD-Mini-Warehouse (Planned Development,
Mini- Warehouse), to allow the operation of a mini-warehouse facility with
on-premises residential use by management personnel on property located
on the west side of MacArthur Boulevard, adjacent to the TP&L
transmission line.
Gary Sieb, Director of Planning and Community Services, made a presentation to the Council.
Mayor Morton opened the Public Hearing and asked for persons wishing to speak regarding
this issue. Walter Nelson, 308 N.W. 2nd St., Suite. 5, Grand Prairie, TX, 75050, stated that
he is the engineer for Sunbelt Self Storage as well as other self storage facilities throughout
the Metroplex. He made a brief statement to the Council, and offered to answer any questions
or concerns that might be voiced during the course of the public hearing by other speakers.
Bob Goss, 1601 E. Beltline, Coppell, stated he is a co-owner of Valley Ranch Self Storage at
1601 E. Beltline in Coppell. Mr. Goss expressed his desire that Council be fully aware of the
history behind this proposal. He stated that two years earlier, he had been denied permission
to build in the requested prime location, and the development site being requested by Sunbelt
Self Storage will cut off his business. At this time, Mayor Morton stated that a request had
been made for Executive Session.

REGULAR SESSION (Open to the Public)
(Continuing with Agenda Item 14)
Councilmember Watson questioned Mr. Sieb regarding landscaping which had been done on
one side of the building but not on the MacArthur side of the building. Mr. Sieb made a
presentation to Council on this issue. Walter Nelson also addressed Council's concerns, and
explained that the two-foot strip available for planting on that side of the building, coupled
with the TU easement which borders the two foot strip, makes landscaping a difficult prospect.
In addition, TU usually does not allow landscaping in their easements. Councilmember
Watson continued to express concern and suggested the possibility of planting photinias. Mr.
