Mansfield Hwy -Mr. Turner came before the Board at the December 4, 1980 meeting seeking a permit to construct a building for his business of buying and selling of used drill bits. At that time, the Board tabled the request to give it more time to study the type of busi- ness to see if it would fit into the "B" Commerical Zoning and to discover if the property could be serviced by utilities. After studying the situation, the Board felt that the business would fit into "E" Commercial Zoning. Mr. Turner stated that there was a five foot utility easement and that there was sufficient fall for a sewer connection. Yir. Morris stated that the Board would like further time to study the noise levels of the business and set guidelines for such levels at Mr. Turner's property line.

Mr. Pernell had appeared before the Board June 5, 1980 for a building permit on said lot. Mr. Morris informed Mrs. Pernell that to build the original building, they would have to reapply for a new permit. At the same meeting, Apache Pipeline received a variance for a trailer to be used as a temporary office. Also at that time he requested that there be one sewer tap made that would serve both the trailer and the new building. The Board was informed thet the trailer had never been placed on sewer and was on a septic tank. Mr. Flowers stated that the Board cannot issue a permit for a building on a septic tank. The Board needs to know where the buildings will be placed and where they will be serviced by sewer and electrical services. %Apache will need to find out what can be done to bring the property into compliance. The Board cannot grant an extension on the variance until the trailer is hooked up properly. The motion was made by Mr. Billingsley and seconded by Mr. Cromer that the request for building permit and the variance exten- sion be tabled until ramifications can be cleared up. Motion passed with none opposed. c. Earl Cole -Lot 27, Blk 1, Woodlea Acres -Mr. Don Leach plans to up- grade the property and turn it into a grocery- self - service station.
