From time to time on a minimal basis, I sell cars in order to change and add to my collection. Also, I store antique and classic cars for friends and relatives. My son, T.Jay Richmond, is a mechanic and restorer of my cars. He needs to be able to do restoration and mechanic repair of vehicles. We also specialize in Ford Model `A's, 1928-1931, therefore, we handle a great deal of new reproduction Model "A" parts for the use in our restoration projects. In general, we will use this 60' X 100' building at 1215 Brumlow for storage of antique cars and memorabilia. However, it is important that we are able to do car repair and sales on a minimal basis. I have no intentions on being a "used car lot" or go into any full time business. I am a retired Principal of Midland High School. I have been retired since 2000. This is a hobby of mine and I take pride in my collections. Also, I am sending you a few pictures of my building in Midland. I have added to the property in the last 20 years and take pride in my building. I plan to do the same and add to the property on Brumlow with better fencing and landscaping. This is my home away from home! I am asking permission from the City of Southlake, Texas to approve this special use permit for at least 10 years. I need your approval before I can make a commitment with the seller of the property, Don Allen of Southlake, as this property is zoned I-1 (light industrial) at this time. I have been in communication with the City of Southlake for some time about this request and I must say I have had a very pleasant experience working with the City of Southlake: Lorrie Fletcher, Matt Schirle, and Dennis Killough. Thank you for your time an consideration. l {j Neil Richmond 23 Hialeah Dr. Midland, Texas 79705 432-88-3336 Attachment: Midland Warehouse Case No. Attachment C ZA13-002 Page 1 LANDSCAPE PLAN NORTH A F) Case No. Attachment C ZA13-002 Page 2 Site Photos — 1215 Brumlow Avenue r'�.. <K fir. ,. _• IS Case No. Attachment C ZA13-002 Page 3 Photos of Automobile Collection Case No. Attachment C ZA13-002 Page 3 SPO MAP Richmond Cars U 18 19 20 6 8 s 11 9 10 7 12 13 1 3 14 15 2 17 4 5 •• # Owner Zoning Land Use AcreageResponse 1.

Phone Number (optional): � I � -- �.� q - '? 5-(, Case No. Attachment D ZA13-002 Page 2 Southlake P&Z and City Council, I am writing in opposition of the current agenda item #12 for the P&Z Meeting scheduled for Feb. 7, 2013. I am a resident that currently backs to Brumlow. Brumlow has become a major entryway and exit for the City of Southlake. Unfortunately this entryway into our city has been overlooked for many years. It is not very appealing and quite honestly would make one wonder if there is any zoning going on in this city. Just drive north on Brumlow from Hwy 26 and you will see from my perspective. It is currently zoned 'light industrial' which has been in place for a very long time. Yet as the city grows and residential areas are built around this area, the City should really take more thought into what they allow to be built and what they allow to operate next to residences. Please think about what you would and would not like next to your home. For example, the cement plant which is in full operation has gone from 'light' industrial to something I consider much different. In the past two years, this plant has expanded and built their equipment to a height twice the original size. They have also painted it a lime green color so it can be noticed over the tallest of trees and homes. But most upsetting is the fact that this "light industrial" property has begun working day and NIGHT. Yes, they say they have a special permit to work 2417. They say the City has allowed them this permit? Imagine hearing that throughout the night. So, before changing any zoning areas, I ask you to consider what effect this may have on the residences nearby. Item #12 refers to a'used car lot'- is that something that needs to be next to homes? Because yes, there are homes that are actually near this area and then there are numerous residents that would have to drive by the used car lot to get to their homes as well. Brumlow is TWO lanes. There is NO turn lane. Have you ever tried to get across Brumlow during high traffic times? It is nearly impossible to leave the subdivision onto Brumlow because of traffic. As long as the road remains in its current state (a very old two lane road in desperate need of repair) there should be no businesses allowed which would add to the traffic situation that currently exists. Aside from the traffic issues and unpleasantness of a used car lot next to our homes, have you consider the safety to the kids that attend the elementary school on the comer? I believe the City should look at the long range plans for Southlake. I believe they show much of this area turning into more residential homes. If this is the case, then anything that gets approved in the next ten years, should be towards that ultimate plan. Anything that gets approved should be with the consideration of this whole area being residences in the near future. What would you want to be living next to? Used car lots belong on Hwy 26 or Hwy 114, not next to homes, families and schools. Please preserve the image that the City is trying to create. Thank you for your time, Debbie Fernandez 1727 Byron Nelson Parkway Southlake. Case No. Attachment D ZA13-002 Page 3 Subject: Opposition to item #12 zoning meeting Feb 7 I, Amy Gooch, a resident of Timarron (1720 Byron Nelson Pkwy) and am in opposition to Item #12 on the planning zoning agenda for Feb. 7th. Item #12 which pertains to the proposed Special use Permit for 1215 Brumlow. This area has heavy traffic with a road split making it difficult for residents to pull out. Running in parallel to this road and a very short distance away is a school zone. Increased retail traffic brings a safety is a concern for our elementary school walkers. I cannot attend the meeting but want it added to the record that I am OPPOSED to item #12. Thank you for your consideration, Amy Gooch Lome, I wanted to submit the following statement from my wife (Laurie Schneider) and I for Case No. Z413-002: We are in favor of Neil Richmond receiving a specific use permit to allow sales and senate of used automobiles, trucks, or motorhomes at 1215 Brumlow Avenue, Southlake, Texas.
