Request of J.B. Sandlin and Alan W. Hamm
to rezone approximately 31.15 acres of
land out of the W.W. Wallace Survey,
Abstract No. 1606, from its present classi-
fication of Agriculture to a proposed
classification of 1F-8 One Family Dwelling.
This property is located West of Holiday
Lane and North of existing Holiday West Add.
Mr. J.B. Sandlin and Mr. Alan W. Hamm pre-
sented their request to the Commission.
Mr. Sandlin stated he had been trying to
purchase this property for 2 years. He
stated that about the time he had given up
trying to purchase it, the deal went through.
He said they were asking for rezoning of one
section of this property at this time. He
stated they would have this land broken into

3 sections. He said they would come back
to rezone the other 2 sections later.
Mr. Sandlin stated the reason he and Mr.
Hamm were asking for 1F-8 was the prices
of homes are going up so, they were afraid
they would be priced right out of business
in a few years, if they tried to build
1800 to 2000 sq. ft. of floor space homes.
He said they had increased the price of
homes 7 times last year totaling $6000 as
of December 12. He also stated that as of
today, they had gone up another $1000. He
said a 1900 sq. ft. home will soon be
priced at $60,000 and a 1500 sq. ft. home
will be $50,000. He stated if they had a
zoning for smaller homes, but wanted to
build larger ones, they could. He stated
they didn1t want to get the footage so
much that the price of the home would be
out of reach for the people.
Mr. Hamm stated that the reason for the
increase in the price of homes was the in-
crease in cost of materials, plus the cost
of developing has increased considerably.
He said they had rather cater to the middle
class people.
Mrs. Shaunty asked Mr. Sandlin and Mr. Hamm
if they would be opposed to the Commission
stipulating a requirement of 1400 or 1500
sq. ft. for this area.
.
Mr. Sandlin stated that in all probability
the homes to be built on this section of
land will be 1800 to 2000 sq. ft., but their
worry was in 4 or 5 years from now, with
the price of everything going up all the
time.
Mrs. Shaunty stated the reason for the
Commission IS concern was the talk of 235
homes being built again.
Mr. Sandlin stated they would not build
235 homes anymore. He said he lost money
on them before. He said that in todayls
market, he doesn1t feel the 235 homes
will be built in North Richland Hills.

Mr. Hamm if they would consider 1500 sq.
ft. requirement.

1400 sq. ft. requirement.
Mr. Morrison moved, seconded by Mr. Grubb,
to approve subject to the stipulation of
1400 sq. ft. living area requirement.
