Ut-j-j 1 -- - o P Holiday Oil One Step Closer to Cedar Hills by Harlow Clark When businesses come to a city they submit a site plan to the planning commission, which sends it along to the city council recommending approval or not, and usually recommends changes. The council considers the plan and usually suggests some changes of its own. Cedar Hill council mem-bers considered Holiday Oil's proposal July 12 for a gas sta-tion, convenience store and car wash at the corner of Cedar Hills Dr. and 4800 West. Assistant City Manager Greg Robinson told the coun-cil the site is a subdivision of Amsource's property and so all improvements will need to be done. Planners said a 10-ac- re master plan would be one thing "the city will need to pay close attention to," Robinson said in a memo. Another thing is traffic movement. Council members spent several minutes talking about the distance between the exit of the car wash and the entrance to the property from 4800 West, and whether a car coming out of the car wash would notice a car coming off the street. Robinson suggested a traffic calming device on 4800 West. Council Member Steph-anie Martinez suggested a stop sign as drivers come out of the car wash. Another suggestion was to move the car wash a little south. Robinson also recom-mended not having the en-trance line up with the ChaseMcDonald's access as someone going from Holi-day to Chase would be going straight across five lanes of traffic. "With four parcel own-ers, we need to make a road plan," Mayor Eric Richard-son said, suggesting a special improvement district (SID). The mayor added that he doesn't want to see the car wash jutting out from the convenience store. True, they want people to know there's a car wash, "but it's the same thing we told Chase and McDonald' and everyone else. It's a small community, everyone will know," he said. Council Member Scott Jackman moved to approve the site concept subject to an SID for the roads, subject to subdivision approval, subject to review access on Cedar Hills Drive, subject to the car wash being on the same plane as the convenience store, or behind it, and subject to an overall site plan. The motion carried unanimously. "I hope we can make it work. It will make a great addition to our city," Council Member Jim Perry said.

Women have such great arsenals for getting what they want if they know how to use them, and now, thanks to my book, I did. Rodger was the expert. That was a fact I used in my ploy to accomplish the change I wanted. I was un-abashed in my praise of his skills and knowledge and that I only wanted to please him and be a good trucker buddy. I told him I needed to under-stand why I was expected to do certain driving maneuvers and how they related to other areas of driving, so when the need arose, I could execute automatically and he could relax. Amazing how posturing a situation can turn it completely around. Rodger became the consummate teacher, and with the help of a toy truck, he ex-plained the whys and where-fores of driving a Big Rig. I would now keep the shiny side up,- let the bear bait pass me by and keep my eyes peeled for Smokey or the plain white wrappers and never give cause for them to issue green stamps. I would be truckin' it up and ac-tually know why and how - do I have a copy? "Bezzant" continued from Page 2 to all of your students. The A and B students will go on and do just fine.
