DISCUSSION
RNL briefed the Council on the preliminary
allocation of the $5,000,000 bond issue regarding
the fact that there was no pre-estimate on the cost of
this remodeling project prior to the bond issue. He
further indicated that there was no urgency about the
proposal, if the Council wanted to study it further.
Ted Gupton, from Albert S. Komatsu and Associates,
briefed the Council on the design of the building
and answered questions concerning the roof, the add-
on auditorium and the apparent excess amount of funds
designated for contingency. A lengthy discussion
followed and all members of the Council expressed
their concern over the move in costs associated
with the library. Some discussion was held about
appointing a committee of the Council to review
all move-in expenditures. Mayor Echols cautioned

the Council not to committee the project to
death. It appeared that a major concern is
the amount of money proposed to be transferred
out of the CIP Funds that could be used for other
public projects. The consensus was reached (Councilwoman
Moody was not present at this time) that we should
direct the architects to move ahead with plans
and specifications and prepare the project to go
out to bid with the auditorium bid as a alternate
bid. This will allow the architects to complete their
work, bid the project, and allow the Council additional
time to study move in expenses.
Mr. Claude Byrd was present and discussed his
RICHARD ROYSTON
problem with the age limit restriction on autos
for his operation. After a Council discussion of
this subject, it was agreed that Byrd Automotive
should go back through Planning and Zoning and ask
for relief from this restriction.
Council agreed to accept the Telecommunication Report JOHN WHITNEY
Please assist
as written and when we bid a new system next year
Councilman Ramsey and Mayor Echols will work with
the consultants to insure that Sammons Corporation
lives up to the commitments in the franchise awarded
to them.

approved installation of this system in open session.
Harold HcInroe presented the bid results for the LEE
Revenue Bonds with the best bid being received by
Rausher, Pierce and Refsnes and Associates, with

some disappointment as he had hoped that the bids
would be somewhat lower. It is still considered
to be an excellent bid.

REQUEST OF 46 PROPERTY OWNERS
IN MORGAN MEADOWS ADDITION TO REZONE
THEIR INDIVIDUAL LOTS TOGETHER IN MORGAN MEADOWS ADDITION
FROM THEIR PRESENT CLASSIFICATION OF R-1 (SINGLE FAMILY)
TO R-1-S (SINGLE FAMILY SPECIAL) (LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE
OF CHAPMAN ROAD ACROSS FROM RICHFIELD PARK)
Mayor Echols opened the Public Hearing and called for anyone wishing to speak
in favor of this request to please come forward.
Councilman Garvin asked to be excused from discussion because of possible
conflict of interest.
Mr. Jim Keating, 6824 Little Ranch Road, appeared before the Council.
Mr. Keating stated that all of the property owners in the area were contacted
and all but four signed the request for the zoning change. Mr. Keating
stated that the reason for requesting the zoning change was if the property
was sold the purchaser would be allowed to continue to have animals.
Mayor Echols stated this request would permit new owners the right to
continue to have livestock.
Councilman Fisher stated he thought the reason the Zoning Ordinance was
passed was to prohibit livestock in the future.
Mayor Echols stated there were special areas where this particular zoning
could be granted and this area met the requirement.
Councilman Ramsey asked about the four property owners that did not sign the
request.
Mayor Echols stated if they desired to change the zoning of their property
they would have to come in and have their property rezoned individually.
Councilman Ramsey stated he did not think that the Council went through the
Naster Plan process to start picking out certain areas of the City for
special things. Councilman Ramsey stated he did not quite understand what he
was being asked to vote on.
Nr. Keating stated the lots in Morgan Meadows were either one or two acres
and in the past they had livestock. Mr. Keating stated they had requested
the special zoning so they could continue to keep livestock.
Councilwoman Hinkle asked the number of livestock that could be kept.
Mr. Royston stated there was no limit.
May 12, 1986
Page 4
Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated the property could only be used for private
individual use and not commercial which in a sense would limit the number
that could be kept.
Councilman Newman stated he thought some of the houses presently there
already had the special use zonings.
Mayor Echols stated there was only one.
Mr. Line stated that the Morgan Meadows area had historically always been
able to keep livestock until the Zoning Ordinance was adopted and the zoning
of the property was changed from agriculture to residential because it was
determined that the lots did not meet the new requirement for agriculture.
Mr. Line stated he thought this had been discussed previously before the
Council and the consensus was to create this special classification. Mr.
Line stated the lots had to be a minimum of one acre.
Mayor Pro Tem Davis asked if all the tracts were at least one acre.
Mr. Keating stated they were.
Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated he felt that it should be stipulated in the
ordinance that the lots would be a minimum of one acre and also the reason
for the classification.
Councilwoman Moody stated the same situation had existed at Green Valley
Estates because of the blanket zoning that was approved. Councilwoman Moody
stated it had created a situation where the owners were no longer in
compliance and she felt Morgan Meadows was just being brought into compliance.
Mayor Echols called for anyone wishing to speak in opposition to this request
to please come forward.
There being no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Echols closed the Public
Hearing.

ORDINANCE NO. 1361

stated they had approximately 175 stores in the State and wished to expand to

SO 86-8 REQUEST OF MAGEE INVESTMENTS COMPANY
FOR VARIANCE TO SECTION 4.2(A) OF THE SIGN ORDINANCE
AT 7297-99 GLENVIEW DRIVE
DENIED
Mayor Pro Tem Davis moved, seconded by Councilman Ramsey, to deny SO 86-8.
Mr. Van Magee appeared before the Council.
Mr. Magee stated he owned two businesses located at 7297-99 Glenview, Heads
Up Hair Parlor and Two Timer Resale and Crafts. Mr. Magee stated his
business would be dead without a sign. Mr. Magee stated there was presently
a sign there but the owner of the sign would not let him put his
advertisement on it. Mr. Magee stated that when he moved to this location
last year there was a sign where he proposed to put the one requested. Mr.
Magee stated the sign was unsightly so he took it down. Mr. Magee stated all
he wanted to do was put the sign back up with his name on it.
Mayor Echols stated the City understood his dilemma but the sign was removed
and Mr. Magee was subject to the Sign Ordinance.
Mr. Magee stated that the sign was very important to his business.
Councilman Newman asked if Mr. Magee lacked only a few feet meeting the
requirements of the Sign Ordinance.
Mayor Echols stated the property was only 94 feet in width so it was a little
shy for the existing sign.
Mayor Pro Tem Davis asked Mr. Magee if he could put a sign on the face of the
building.
Mr. Magee stated there were no other signs along this part of Glenview.
Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated that in the near future when Glenview Drive was
widened he felt there would be more signs.
Councilwoman Moody stated that there was a large sign on the east end of the
building that was not easy to miss. Councilwoman Moody stated she felt the
problem was not with the Council granting the request but with the owner
enforcing equal rights among his tenants.

GN 86-44 REQUEST BY FIRST CHURCH OF CHRIST SCIENTIST
FOR WAIVER OF WATER LINE AND FIRE HYDRANT CONSTRUCTION
DENIED
Mayor Echols presented the following:
"The site on which the subject church building is proposed to be built is on
the I820 Service Road between Karen and Marilyn Drives. This property was
May 12, 1986
Page 10
originally intended to be used for residential purposes, and the water system
installed for residential purposes does not even meet the requirements for
residential developments by todays' standards, much less commercial
development.
There is one 2" line that runs in front of these lots and there is a 6" line
that runs beside the lots. Approximately 200 feet to the east there is an 8"
line that should be extended parallel to the 2" line to the site, and tied
into a 6" line which is approximately 350 feet long. This would be about 550
to 600 feet of 8" line that would have to be installed, along with another
fire hydrant so that the site would have the proper fire coverage for
development other than residential.
The total cost is estimated to be in the neighborhood of $8,000."
Mayor Pro Tem Davis moved, seconded by Councilman Fisher, to deny GN 86-44.
Ms. Sher Butler, Chairman of the Building Committee, appeared before the
Council.
Ms. Butler stated their present building was located at 7904 Bedford Euless
Road. Ms. Butler stated they had acquired five lots across the street from
the present complex where they planned to build a new church. Ms. Butler
stated that when a board member contacted the City on the adequacy of the
utilities they were assured the present six inch water main would be
satisfactory. Ms. Butler stated that in the course of their engineering
preparation they learned that they must comply with the zoning rules required
for a commercial establishment. Ms. Butler stated this evidently required
all property to be within three hundred feet of a fire hydrant serviced by an
eight inch main. Ms. Butler stated there presently was a fire plug on a six
inch main and a portion of one of the lots was not within three hundred
feet. Ms. Butler stated a rough estimate of the cost of an eight inch main
was between $26,000 and $29,000. Ms. Butler stated the nearest eight inch
they could connect to was on Cummings Street.
Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated he had conflicting figures.
Ms. Butler stated the nearest eight inch main was 750 feet away and the City
Staff stated it was only 200 feet.
Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated he would like a clarification on the figures.
Mr. Riddle stated the nearest eight inch was less than three hundred feet
away.
Ms. Carol Knapper, Woodward and Associates, appeared before the Council.
Ms. Knapper stated their engineer had indicated that they could not connect
from a six inch main to an eight inch main and that the only two eight inch
mains were on Cummings and the street to the west.
Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated the Public Works Director had said it was less
than 300 feet and that would cut the cost in half.
May 12, 1986
Page 11
Mr. Riddle stated that if scaled on the map there were three lots from
Marilyn to Cummings and the lots were approximately 70 feet wide plus the
width of Marilyn Street. Mr. Riddle stated thee was an eight inch line in
Cummings and the cost of laying the pipe would be abut $10.00 a foot.
Councilman Fisher stated he was confused on the cost because his information
stated the cost would be about $8,000.
Nayor Echols asked Ms. Knapper what their estimate was based on.
Ms. Knapper stated their engineer's estimate included boring of the street
because they could not trench and boring any driveways in the right of way
plus an extra fire hydrant.
Mayor Echols stated he hoped they understood that the whole purpose of this
requirement was for protection of those in attendance at church.
Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated he sympathized with the Church but this had to be
looked at as a development and the purpose was for public safety.
Councilman Garvin stated there seemed to be a big discrepancy in what the
applicant's engineer was saying and Mr. Riddle. Councilman Garvin stated
that perhaps they needed to have their engineer talk with Mr. Riddle.
Mayor Echols asked Mr. Riddle if it was required to bore the street.
Mr. Riddle stated they could make a street cut.
Motion to deny carried 7-0.
Councilman Davis moved to divert from the Agenda and recognize Boy Scout
Troop 434.
Scout Master, Troop 434, advised the Council that the young men here tonight
were working towards their citizenship in a community, one of the merit
badges they were required to have. He stated that because of the time they
did have to leave.

GN 86-46 REQUEST OF ENGLER ESTATE FOR VARIANCE
TO SECTION 2-06-B(14) OF THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE
REGARDING CONSTRUCTION OF DRAINAGE CHANNELS
(LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF WATAUGA ROAD
WEST OF THE ST. LOUIS AND SOUTHWESTERN RAILROAD)
DENIED
Mr. Ron Morrison, representing the applicant, appeared before the Council.
May 12, 1986
Page 12
Mr. Morrison stated he was requesting a variance to allow construction of an
earthen lined channel in the area between Watauga Road and St. Louis &
Southwestern Railroad. Mr. Morrison stated the Drainage Ordinance required a
concrete lined channel and in this particular case he felt it might not be
appropriate. Mr. Morrison stated that up stream to the north was concrete
lined and it was primarily a residential area, the area on the other side of
the railroad was earthen lined and to the south of the property was earthen
lined. Mr. Morrison stated that in his professional opinion the City and the
client would be best serviced with an earthen lined channel with a concrete
pilot channel in the bottom.
Mr. Morrison presented the Council with a copy of the study made on this
particular area.
Councilman Fisher stated that a lot of thought went into the City's
Subdivision Ordinance, particularly concrete lined channels versus earthen
channels.
Mayor Pro Tem Davis stated that in looking at the total over all project,
look at how many concrete channels the City had to built because some
developer did not want to do it. Mayor Pro Tem Davis asked Mr. Morrison if
he was planning to build the channel at this time.
Mr. Morrison stated they had no plans to do it at the present time.
After further discussion Councilman Ramsey moved, seconded by Councilwoman
Moody, to deny GN 86-46.
