III. New Matters (Advertised)
Docket No. 53-62
Applicant: Cedar Hill Corporation
Location: NW corner of Highway r`10 and Cedar Hill Road
Description: Apartment Tract A-1, Cedar Hill Terrace
Classification: "D" Apartment District
Variance: From Section 17A and Section 12 to permit t-o or more build-
ings on one tract and a variance to permit buildings to be
erected to a height of 10 floors plus an elevator penthouse,
not to exceed 130'
Mr. Farrell abstained from voting and the discussion since he had an interest in
this application. They are asking for the same waiver they were granted a year
ago. (For more than one building on a lot) The biggest change is two main
structures have been moved so that both buildings face East. That was dictated
for two reasons: (1) View was better (2) Soil conditions were poor.
Mr. Bob Robinson was present. He stated that the apartment would have 40 units.
There would probably be 8 or 10 units to one building. The question was asked
how many square feet in the property to which he replied 350,000 square feet.
There was one person there to protest. She didn't like the height of the build-
ing. She said it was directly between her house and the valley. She felt that
this building would obstruct the view and it would block Dr. Haney's view.
Mr. Robinson indicated that they had designed it in order to protect the view.
In executive session Mr. Meeks moved that this proposed variance be approved.
Mr. Marak seconded the motion and it was carried unanimously.

Mr, Kenneth Graham was present to represent this application- He stated that
the building would be a multi -purpose building There would be no entrance on
Third Street, It will be on Izard on the East side at the'rear; He said they
would eliminate strings of lights and would probably put up mercury lights and
use just as few as possible and just put lights on the front, There would be no
Sunday activity. The alley is the access on the south portion of the plot of
ground,. One lady asked about the structure to which Mr. Graham replied it would
be'�a brick building, Mr;, William Nash was there and said that this property
was zoned "G=1" and the owner may operate a garage to retail sales agencies, He

Page 3
people would be satisfied if it were a service area but asked the Board to deny
it to be used as a public garage.
Mr. Spitzberg stated that unless some type of wall was erected between the
proposed plot of ground and the adjacent property owners that cars would be
getting into the lady°s yard.
John Haley said that any type of operation would be in the people's favor that
he represented but required reasonable hours and asked that some of the lights
be screened so they wouldn't bother them at night. He also said the public
garage should be eliminated,
Mr, Spitzberg asked if there were any assurance that the business would not be
operated at night. Mr. Graham said that Mr. Elroy Martin gave the assurance
very definitely that they would close around six or seven, He also said that
this operation would not be used to repair big busses or trucks, just their cars.

That the garage should be operated only in connection with new car sales (3)
