Powell Survey f or the expansion of the Mac Haik Ford dealership. The proposed facility will
provide services for their truck center with office, service bays, photo room, parts sales and
storage, car-wash and detail bay. The subject property is currently in the annexation process
that will be completed prior to consideration of the proposed rezoning by the City Council.
