Mr. Boatwright explained that the subject property is approximately 3 acres; however, there is very
little developable area to build a 7500 square foot building. He had originally wanted a 10,000
square foot building.
Mr. Boatwright explained the proposed building is 7500 square feet (50' x 150'), with the front 25'
section being used for boat display, then a 50' x 50' showroom and a 50' x 75' shop. He added
that he would love to have a larger building; however, this unique property will not support that.
A lengthy discussion ensued regarding the proposed site plan, the FM 528 right of way, the use of
the residential property across FM 528, and development of the vacant tract to the North.
