REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL
July 16, 1974
The City Council of the City of Southlake, Texas, met in regular
session in the Council Chamber of City Hall, at 667 North Carroll
Avenue in Southlake on Tuesday, July 16, 1974, with the following
members present:
W. 0. Nunn, Mayor Pro Tem
Billy Joe Knox, Councilman
Sam Davis, Councilman
James Winfrey, Councilman
Absent: Wade Booker, Mayor
R. D. Drummond, Councilman
Also present: W. D. Campbell, City Attorney

Mayor Pro Tem Nunn called the meeting to order at 7:30 P.M. The
invocation was given by Councilman Knox.
The minutes of the last regular meeting were approved as read.
ZA-74-4: was opened for discussion. Mr. Tommy Eidson made a com-
prehensive presentation to the Council of the request for PUD
zoning on the large tract of land in the Childress Survey described
in the application. In the discussion that followed, the City
Attorney advised the Council that the City's zoning ordinance for
PUD District requires a development plan, the extent of detail of
same being the Council's perogative and if Council is satisfied
with the plan as presented by Mr. Eidson it could be incorporated
in the ordinance by reference. Craig Eaton suggested that approval
for zoning purposes gives no right to the developer to obtain build-
ing permits but he can come back at a later date with final agree-
ments and plat all subject to Council review. The City Attorney
further advised that the general notes on the plan can be stipulated
in the ordinance as binding the developer to develop as shown on the
plan and that any major change requested later would require a new
zoning request. Following discussion, the Council indicated its
willingness to accept the plan incorporating it in the ordinance,
whereupon, Councilman Davis moved to pass ORDINANCE NO. 161-59,
92
changing the zoning on land described therein from Ag District
to PUD District; seconded by Councilman Winfrey. Councilman Davis
and Councilman Winfrey voted "For"; Councilman Knox abstained,
stating his reason for abstaining from the vote was because of a
lateral interest. The motion carried. (Ordinance No. 161-59 is
attached hereto and made a part hereof.)
The City Attorney pointed out that the planner had recommended
higher density. Following other remarks, Craig Eaton advised
the Council that there are various tools to curb land speculation
to some degree and may be considered in the updating of the
current zoning ordinance.
Colon Sweet addressed the Council regarding the denial of a
bui ing permit for Eugene Compton on the basis of the land being
subdivided prior to the filing of an approved plat. Discussion
followed concerning what relief could be granted to Mr. Compton.
Mr. Eaton suggested the owners of the land join together in filing
a plat without the City requiring street standards. Following
additional discussion, Councilman Knox moved that Eugene Compton
be allowed a building permit for a house to be moved onto his
property and placed on a permanent foundation, withholding the
certificate of occupancy until such time as the necessary require-
ments to meet the City's subdivision ordinance are complied with;
seconded by Councilman Davis. Motion passed unanimously.
Aubrey Smith, having arrived late, was now invited to address the
Council. He stated why he did not feel he was in violation of ordinance
No. 204, (Junk Cars) having received a warning from the Police
Department regarding same. Following discussion, Mr. Smith said
he would try to remove the one vehicle without an engine by August lst
and would get the other one relocated to comply with the ordinance.
Fire Department report was given by Chief Steele. He asked the
Council -oyster cut-off switches for Unit No. 3002 and Unit
No. 3003, costing about $50. Councilman Winfrey suggested that
this request be put in the upcoming budget since they are not of
an emergency nature. Chief Steele then made a progress report on
Unit No. 3003.
Police De artment report was given by Mayor Pro Tem Nunn who
a vc~ise there were no current problems.
