Mayor Dodd opened the discussion by giving the following information from an administrative memo. This public hearing is continued from the City Council meeting of Play 17, 1982. The 2.81 acre tract is unimproved and is currently zoned PD-14 (MF-2,0). The current zoning allows buildings to be constructed to a maximum height of two (2) stories. Terra Treeview Joint Venture is requesting the zoning be amended to allow the construction of one eight (8) story office building containing approximately 200,000 square feet of floor area with a supporting parking structure.

Wadley,2980 Sunbeck Circle, spoke in favor of the building and does not feel it is any more of an intrusion of his pri- vacy than the 2 story home next door.

She feels it will be a nice looking building and she would rather have this development than the one allowed by the present zoning. Mrs. Brown, 12127 Treeview, spoke against the development because of the heavy traffic flow that would develop. Mr. Landon Taliaferro, 12211 Ridgefair, spoke in opposition to the development. Mr. Taliaferro is opposed to the heavy traffic, lost privacy and is afraid Treeview will be extended. Mrs. Shirley Johnson, 12212 Ridgefair, spoke against the development. She stated that the trees, not evergreen, would not screen the building adequately. Mr. Dan Woodfield, 12208 Treeview, spoke against the development.

He stated his fears of Treeview being extended. There being no further questions or comments from the audience, a motion by Councilman Blair, seconded by Councilman Weidinger, all voting "aye", motion carried unanimously.

The Mauro's would like to locate their facility at 4885 Alpha in the office complex constructed by Lincold Properties. A Certificate of Occupancy or building permits cannot be issud to the Mauro's until the use is classified and listed within the Zoning Ordinance by the City Council. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends that the use be listed as an allowable use with a specific use permit in a II zoning disrict, and an executive spa club be defined as follows: "A use conducted entirely within the building and consisting of a series of rooms of a size able to accommodate up to 8 people, to be rented to the public on an hourly basis solely for the purpose of hydro therapy bath. Each room shall provide a suana, whirlpool bath, a dressing area, and a bathroom. Liquor or food other than snack foods, are not to be offered for sale or allowed to be con- sumed on the premises.

The use is not directly connected Vol. 37, Page 81 by doorways, openings or hallways to other adjacent tenant leases or uses. The use excludes warehousing and repairs on the premises." Mr. and Mrs. Mauro, 6663 Ramrock, were present to represent their request. Mrs. Mauro explained the concept of the spas and some of the ideas they have. She explained the hours and stated she spoke to several school coaches and they were in favor of this spa. Mr. Boyle explained that the use and zoning belongs to the land and if the Mauros were to sell, someone else could buy the property and con- tinue the use. Mrs. Judy Byrd, 2580 Eric Lane, spoke in opposition of the spa. She stated that she did not question the Mauro's intentions but no one can dictate morals. She also stated that she did not feel senior citizens would use the spas. Mrs. Byrd explained she had brought several senior citizens from Farmers Branch with her and they were all opposed to the spa. Mr. Arthur Winneck, 5050 Quorom Drive, Attorney for the Mauros, spoke in favor of the request. He stated that the ordinance uses very restrictive language. He also stated that the Mauros would have a five year lease. Mr. Winneck discussed other spas of this type and the difficulty of finding adequate facilities for this type of busi- ness. Mrs. Mauro stated that the private clubs were too high priced for many people and she plans to have reduced prices for senior citizens.
