A Weatherford City Council item concerning a new tractor dealership was momentarily put in neutral as the council seeks clarification on a detail before a conditional use permit is approved.
The existing conditional use permit for a new Kioti Tractor dealership was approved in a previous meeting for 2.46 acres at 1435 Fort Worth Hwy., next to All About Kids Daycare. However, at the Feb. 25 meeting the final approval, which included changes, was paused with Place 2 council member Zack Smith requesting clarification with the article’s wording, “Display, storage, and sale of equipment is limited to new tractors, implements, UTV’s, compact construction equipment, utility trailers, lawn mowers and associated parts.”
“Since it says display, storage and sales are for only new, I guess that means they plan on taking trades, used equipment sales, repairs and leases not on location, is that right?”
The applicant for the conditional use permit was not present at the meeting.
Smith questioned Kaleb Kentner, director of development and neighborhood services, if indeed all business transactions will be strictly new equipment sales only. After a discussion, Kentner said he will have the subject clarified for a future submission of the conditional use permit. Place 1 council member and mayor pro tem, Heidi Wilder, made a motion to table the vote for another meeting and the members agreed unanimously.
The council also considered appointing Jim Jeter as a regular member to the Zoning Board of Adjustments and Marc Sager as an alternate. With the subject discussed at a previous meeting, the item quickly passed 4-0.
