regarding the permit in question.

ramp, and a portable water and sewer tank. He then stated that the property is zoned
Suburban Development District (SD) and they could not permit anything in this zoning.
Discussion ensued on previous and existing sales trailers and Mr. Smith stated that his
concern was that it would be facing FM 518.
Commissioner Iocco expressed his concern that if they would allow such a permit they
would have every builder in town complaining. He reminded the builder and the
developer that it would be the Planning & Zoning Commission and Council to deal with
the aftermath of the decision.

the building permit request. The Commissioner's explained that it was not the request
that they had a problem with, it was actually the location of the request they had a
