Chairman, Robert Carter asked for those in favor of the request to state their views to the
board. Greg Ward, Vice President of Real Estate and Marketing for Country General was
present as a representative of Country General. Mr. Ward stated that the operating hours
of the store would be from 8 a.m. till 8 p.m. during which time the majority of the traffic
would be from customers. There will be some deliveries would be made during lat hours,
but very rare.
The Store Manager, addressed the board and stated that the commitment of Country
General was to be a good neighbor.
Chairman, Robert Cart asked if anyone opposed to the request would like to speak.
Carmen Gonzales, 2619 W 5th, came forward. Mrs. Gonzales stated that in the area of
4th and Amarillo Streets, there has been a great deal of trash and insulation blowing
around from the location of the Country General.
Mary Ester Ramos, also expressed concerns about the blowing trash and insulation and
both recommended that the fence be built around the back of the store.
Chairman Robert Carter told Ms. Gonzales and Ms. Ramos that the board appreciated
1 of 3
their concerns, but the case before the board at this time concerned only the display area
adjacent to Hwy 70.
W.E. Mediock the owner of the Winwood 2 apartments, located at 2805 W. 4th, just
South of the Country General, expressed his views during the public hearing that he
understands C -2, but did not feel it would be conducive to his operation of those
apartments to allow the display area. Mr. Mediock expressed concern that merchandise
would be stacked and stored on the sides and rear of the property. Mr. Mediock felt a
fence around the rear of the property would help alleviate this possibility.
Jim Hembree made a motion to close the public hearing, seconded by Frankie Carter.
Motion passe 7 - 0.
Brandon Brownlee made a motion that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend
that the City Council approve the request of Greg Ward on behalf of Country General for

Olton Road;
2. Space will be used for display of farm and ranch products such as cattle
handling equipment, livestock and horse feeders, field sprayers, etc.;
for the 360 X 752 feet of Block 86, College Hill Addition (2801 Olton Rd.) in a C -2
Commercial Retail zoning district.
Mr. Brownlee stated that his motion was based on the information presented, which
indicated that the improvements and display area would be an investment and would not
detract from the neighborhood. Gary Stone seconded. Motion passed 7 - 0.

stipulations noted on the Farmers Plat map. (Note; Plat granted with the waivers of water,
sewer and curbing along Columbia only as long as land use does not change. Any
