Councilwoman Spurlock advised that a Christmas
tree could not be planted at the Park & Recreation

Recreation Center only. Councilman Ramsey stated
the businesses in the City could be asked for
donations to help toward the purchase of the
decorations. Councilwoman Spurlock stated
the figures had been reduced on the landscaping
because of the reduction of the area planned for
the City Hall. Councilwoman Spurlock stated

maybe the Council should set a budget for the
requested funds and take bids. Councilman Davis
asked if the Park Maintenance could take care of
the grounds or help do the landscaping. Mr. Line

APPEAL HEARING - REQUEST OF RICHMOND BAY
DEVELOPMENT CO. TO REZONE A PORTION OF
TRACT 2, W.A. TRIMBLE SURVEY, ABSTRACT
1520, FROM R-2 TO R-8. (LOCATED ON SOUTH
SIDE OF MEADOW LAKES DRIVE AND WEST OF DORY COURT)
Mayor Brown opened the Public Hearing and called for anyone wishing to
speak in favor of this request to please come forward.
Mr. Marion Massey, representing Richmond Bay Development, appeared before
the Council.
Mr. Massey advised that this zoning request was for the property located
west of the dam. Mr. Massey stated they would build 2,000 square foot
minimum houses. Mr. Massey stated the development would have a guard gate
at the entrance and it would be surrounded by a brick and wrought iron
fence.
Councilwoman Spurlock stated that according to the Planning and Zoning
Minutes the fence would be around the development except for Lots 3 and 4.
Mr. Massey stated that homes were already built at the back of Lots 3 and
4, however if it was alright with the existing homeowners the fence would
also be placed there.
Councilwoman Spurlock asked if a stipulation of 2,000 square foot houses
could be placed on the zoning.
Mr. McEntire replied yes.
Councilwoman Hinkle asked if the houses were to be built by builders.
Mr. Bob Frank, co-owner, stated the homes would be built by builders and
individuals with strict architectural guidelines.
Mayor Brown called for anyone wishing to speak in opposition to please
come forward.
Mr. Jack Mayberry, 6405 Riviera, appeared before the Council.
May 9, 1988
Page 5
Mr. Mayberry stated that R-8 zoning called for 1,200 square foot houses,
but he had no objection to 2,000 square foot houses. Mr. Mayberry asked
if someone could rezone to R-8 on the adjoining property without a 2,000
square foot stipulation on the houses.
Mayor Brown stated they would have to appear before the Planning and
Zoning Commission and the Council to have the property zoned R-8.
Councilman Davis stated he felt the 2,000 square foot stipulation would be
a good precedence.
Councilman Garvin stated he felt this would be a good development for the
area.
There being no one else wishing to speak Mayor Brown closed the Public
Hearing.
11.
ORDINANCE NO. 1540
APPROVED
Mayor Pro Tem Fisher moved, seconded by Councilman Garvin, to approve

Mr. Charles Scoma appeared before the Council.
Mr. Scoma stated he felt the lots were too small for 2,000 square foot
homes.
Councilman Davis stated the developer would have to make the lots large
enough to meet all building requirements.

into compliance.

around the property.
May 9, 1988
Page 6
Mr. Blair stated that as soon as the zoning was approved he intended to
build a screening fence.
Councilman Garvin stated that there seemed to be a problem with the
platting of the property.
Mr. Blair stated that as soon as the zoning was approved he would start
the platting process.
Councilman Sibbet asked what the height of the fence would be.
Mr. Blair stated he would erect a six to eight foot sight barring fence.
Mayor Brown called for anyone wishing to speak in opposition to please
come forward.

REQUEST OF RICHMOND BAY DEVELOPMENT COMPANY
TO REZONE TRACTS OUT OF THE W.A. TRIMBLE
SURVEY, ABSTRACT 1520 AND THE HEIRS OF
S. SAWYER SURVEY, ABSTRACT 1425, FROM R-2;
R-6T AND OC TO R-2 (SINGLE FAMILY).
(LOCATED ON SOUTH SIDE OF MEADOW LAKES
DRIVE IN THE MEADOW LAKES SUBDIVISION)
Mayor Brown opened the Public Hearing and called for anyone wishing to
speak in favor to please come forward.
Mr. Marion Massey, representing Richmond Bay Development, appeared before
the Council.
Mr. Massey stated this property was in the golf course area. Mr. Massey
stated they had received at least fifteen offers on the golf course, but
nothing final. Mr. Massey stated they had been advised that a golf course
could not be built unless it was done by the City. Mr. Massey stated they
were asking the City to rezone the property into phases so they could get
started on Phase I. Mr. Massey stated that if Phase I took effect on a
particular date the City and all other golf course developers would have
time to get plans and financing in place prior to the time that any of the
residential development would hinder or interfere with the existing golf
May 9, 1988
Page 7
course plans. Mr. Massey stated the developer was ready to begin Phase I
which was on the extreme eastern end. Mr. Massey stated that until Phase
I was half or more underway, there would be no interference with the
present golf course architectural plans. Mr. Massey advised this rezoning
would do away with all of the multi-family zoning in the project.
Mayor Pro Tem Fisher asked if Phase I was started and the golf course came
about would the developer shut Phase I down.
Mr. Massey stated that if Phase I was completely developed it would not
torpedo the golf course but would shorten the fairway on one particular
hole and might change it from a par 4 to a par 3. Mr. Massey stated if
only one-half of Phase I was developed it would not interfere with the
present plans for the golf course. Mr. Massey stated Phase II would have
to be completed before the golf course became a questionable factor.
Mayor Pro Tem Fisher asked if Phase I would be shut down if the go 1f
course came through.
Mr. Massey stated Phase I would not be shut down because it fi t very well
with the golf course configuration.
Mr. Line stated Phase I would begin developing at the eastern end and
proceed in a westerly fashion. Mr. Line asked that if the City advised
that a golf course was going to be built before Phase I was finished,
would part of Phase I be available to the City to incorporate into the
golf course or would the developer want to complete Phase I.
Mr. Massey stated that if the City was committed to the golf course before
Phase I encroached on it then they would cease construction.
Councilman Sibbet asked how long it would be before the half-way point was
reached once Phase I was started.
Mr. Massey stated Phase II would become effective in October so if the
developer moved very fast Phase I would be finished by October 1st. Mr.
Massey stated that Phase I consisted of only 25 lots.
Mr. Bob Frank advised that they only planned to submit a plat for nine
lots at the next Council Meeting.
Councilman Davis stated that actually Phase I was really going to have two
phases - if the first nine lots were developed and sold in nine days the
developer would do the next phase. Councilman Davis stated that if the
nine lots did not sell then the developer would not develop any more until
later on.
Mr. Frank stated that was correct.
Councilman Davis stated the City should know by October whether or not
they were going to be involved in a joint venture, with some outside
management building firm, to build a golf course.
May 9, 1988
Page 8
Mr. Massey stated he felt it was to the developer IS advantage to
participate in the area near the golf course.
Councilman Metts asked when the City began working on the plans for the
golf course and could it be done in six months.
Mr. Line stated the City had been working on the golf course very
intensely, off and on, with the owners and developers of Meadow Lakes for
four years. Mr. Line stated that as of March 23, 1988 the golf course
became Mr. Sanford's number one priority. Mr. Line stated that Mr.
Sanford and the Attorney for the City had been working on a request for
proposals. Mr. Line stated that these requests would be sent to those who
had expressed interest. Mr. Line stated they would be asked to comment on
the proposals. Mr. Line stated that when the proposals were received
back, modifications, that were appropriate, would be made and submitted
back to everyone who was interested. Mr. Line stated the City would give
them a deadline of July 30th to submit proposals to the City on how they
would go about developing the golf course. Mr. Line stated that would
give the Council and Staff three months to evaluate and determine whether
or not it would be feasible to proceed with the golf course. Mr. Line
stated that by October 1st the City would know whether or not they could
develop a golf course.
Mayor Pro Tem Fisher asked if there would be some encroachment on the
proposed golf course if Phase I was developed, and even more if Phase II
was developed.
Mr. Massey stated that if Phase II was finished there would be no real
problems with developing the golf course with the present land
configuration.
Mayor Pro Tem Fisher asked if there was any reason to put an effective
date on Phase IV if the golf course was out of the picture at that time.
Mr. Frank stated the golf course would be out of the question for that
area but there would still be enough property in other areas to do it.
Mayor Pro Tem Fisher asked if there would be enough property left after
Phase III was developed.
Mr. Frank stated yes, but not in the same area.
Mr. Line stated he felt the City would know well in advance of Phase II
whether or not the golf course could be done. Mr. Line stated the
developer had advised the City tonight that they would surrender any part
they had not yet developed, even in Phase I, for the City to incorporate
into the golf course.
Mr. Massey stated he would like to clarify one thing that Mr. Line said:
at such point as the City knew that the golf course was a certainty then
the developer would surrender whatever was left of Phase I, consistent
with the original plans. Mr. Massey stated the developer would surrender
what was left of Phase I consistent with the golf course plan and
configuration.
May 9, 1988
Page 9
Mr. Line asked if the developer started with nine lots in Phase I, and
that was all that had been developed at such time when the City said they
were going to build the golf course, then would that be all that would be
developed in Phase I.
Mr. Massey stated that was correct.
Councilwoman Hinkle asked that if the second part of Phase II was
developed, could there still could be a golf course but with less area
than the original plan.
Mr. Massey stated that until Phase II was completed the concept of the
golf course, as it now stands, was not destroyed.
Mayor Brown called for anyone wishing to speak in opposition to please
come forward.
There being no one else wishing to speak Mayor Brown closed the Public
Hearing.
Councilman Davis stated he wanted everyone to understand that the Council
was going to vote on five ordinances with different effective dates.
Councilman Davis stated that essentially what the citizens that lived in
Meadow Lakes were being told was that if the ordinances did pass, and if
for some reason by October 1st the City had not come to a conclusion with
a management contract for building and managing the golf course, there
probably would not be one. Councilman Davis stated the developer had
tried many outside groups to come in and build a golf course and they
could not feasibly do it. Councilman Davis stated the developer had been
very cooperative with the City and the decision made tonight would kill a
golf course unless the City was able to put together a package by June
30th.

GN 88-34 PUBLIC HEARING ON MARTIN DRIVE ASSESSMENTS

speak to please come forward.

introduced in evidence the preliminary assessment rolls and the final
revised assessment rolls.
Mr. John Lutz, appeared as a witness.
Mr. Lutz testified as to his credentials as a real estate appraiser in

testified that in his opinion the Martin Drive Project would give special
benefit to each tract on the roll of at least the amount of each
May 9, 1988

assessment. Mr. Lutz answered questions from the Council as to how he
arrived at his conclusion. During his testimony Mr. Dickens answered
questions from the Council concerning the formula for assessment and the
special benefits to the various categories of land involved.
The Attorney for the City announced that the Department of Public Works
had completed its presentation.
The Mayor called for those property owners who objected to the assessments
to come forward and be heard.
The first witness to appear was Mr. Charles Scoma. Mr. Scoma stated he
did not own or have an interest in any property affected by the
assessment. Mr. Scoma had objections to the City policy dealing with
assessments and suggested appointment of a Council Committee to study the
general assessment program. The individual Council Members, the Attorney
for the City, and the Engineer answered questions raised by Mr. Scoma.
Mr. Scoma traced a portion of the history of the 1985 bond issue and at
this point the Mayor asked Mr. Scoma to direct his remarks to the issue
involved in the hearing. Mr. Scoma concluded by stating that he felt
there was unfairness in the assessment system, generally, and that it
should be studied by a committee.
Mr. Oscar Oggier appeared before the Council.
Mr. Oggier opposed the assessment placed on Unit No. 29.
Mr. David Barfield appeared before the Council.
Mr. Barfield stated he did not have a problem with the assessment, but he
would like to have three drive approaches. Mr. Barfield stated he had
talked with the Staff and had been advised he was only allowed two
openings.
Councilman Davis advised Mr. Barfield that if he had a site plan
available, bring it to the next CIP Committee Meeting and they would see
if something could be worked out.
Mr. Jack Roseberry, 8912 Martin Drive, appeared before the Council.
Mr. Roseberry stated he just wanted to let the City know that he was glad
to get the road fixed.
Ms. Walter Silay, 8612 Martin Road, appeared before the Council.
Ms. Silay stated she had paid $358.00 for water and wanted to know if she
would be refunded.
Mr. Albin advised the assessment was for street, curb and gutter and not
for water.
There being no one else wishing to speak Mayor Brown closed the Public
