P&Z OK's Walgreen's Site for Re-Zoning
The Grove Planning & Zoning Board voted 4-1 to approve re-zoning at the northwest corner of 13th and Hazel Streets, paving the way for a Walgreen's store which will occupy the entire corner fronting on Main.
Lone dissenter was Judith Read, who said she liked Walgreen's but thought this was the wrong location for them.
Entrances to Walgreen's will be on 13th Street and Main (Highway 59) but not on Hazel.
Widening of the intersection of 13th and Main is already funded and would have been completed by now except for re-location by PSO of some utility poles, delayed due to staff working on hurricane Katrina relief in Louisiana, City Manager Bill Galletly said in response to concerns from the audience. This widening will provide additional turn lanes at the intersection and into the parking lot of the future Walgreen's.
The building will have nearly 15,000 square feet of shopping area plus two drive-in windows for pharmacy pickup.
The rezoning, from R-1 Single Family to C-3 Highway Commercial and Recreation, affects Lots 9,10 and 11 of the Teel Addition. It must now go before the Grove City Council for action.
In other action, the board approved a request by the Grand Lake Family Fellowship to renovate the building they purchased downtown at 6 W Third Street, to use for administrative offices. The GLFF is using an alternate location at the former Kountry Kousins Theatre on Highway 59 for worship services. The P&Z Board had previously turned down their request to use the Third street location for worship services due to lack of parking.
Todd Kolczun, attorney for GLFF agreed to provide, in writing, a guarantee that the church would not oppose any application for a liquor license in Downtown Grove coming from a restaurant in any nearby building.
The board also rejected a request by Tera Miranda to amend the site plan for Tera Miranda Boat Sales on Highway 59 from Hardy plank siding, to lap metal siding, by a vote of 5-0.
"We don't want Highway 59 to look like a West Texas metal building town," Bill Miller, board member said.
Tabled was a request from Rick Miller for sign alteration for Grove Dental Associates, which would have increased the sign height from 13 feet to 18 feet. Current regulations require a 10 foot height.
Also approved was lot split plat for the Cedar Oaks Shopping Center on Highway 59.
