The PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED ZONING ORDINANCE was opened
for discussion. The Mayor requested anyone wishing to speak to
36
come forward to the podium, state their name for the record and
limit their remarks to 2 to 3 minutes.
Bob Lyford asked that his property be left as is (AG District)
because he does not think Southlake needs a heavy industrial
area.
A. C. Urbanosky expressed concern over Goode's Airport and said
he would like to see a list made of changes so everyone could
see it. Councilman Nunn asked if he wants a zoning ordinance
and Mr. Urbanosky replied, "Yes, we need it." He also said he
objected to the wording regarding the flood plain.
Bob Goode stated his case for the continuing operation of his
airport, wanting to remain H Commercial District as is now zoned.
Bill Spangler spoke against the proposed ordinance stating he is
not for industrial zoning where it is.
Harold Knight asked why the current ordinance was being updated
in the first place. The Mayor answered that one reason is there
is no heavy industrial zoning without which there is no suppor-
tive tax base and without that Southlake would be a bedroom city
that lower income families could not survive in. Mr. Knight said
he would like to retain his property as is and that he is against
the proposed plan.
Weldon Banks spoke against the ordinance stating he does not want
his land zoned for industrial use.
Ralph Polson stated he saw no reason to spend money trying to
please COG, EPA, etc. until they are "pinned down" as to their
requirements.
Malcolm Davis commended the Planning & Zoning Commission for their
efforts and asked that a list be made of all the requests for
changes and what is being done with the requests. In this way,
he said a decision could be made and everyone could get back to
business.
John Stevenson addressed the Council at length stating that some
of the conflicts and pressures under the present ordinance brought
out the need for updating and he feels, with the rough spots
worked out in the proposed ordinance the City can have an ordi-
nance that is acceptable to the majority.
Jim Armstrong spoke in favor of Goode's airport saying it bene-
fits the community.
37
Martin Vale stated there must be adjustment to change. He gave
examples of current needs the city cannot remedy because there
is not a sufficient tax base. He summed up by saying the general
plan should be adopted.
Louise Morrison spoke commending the Council and Commission for
their efforts and stated that there should be a compromise, so
that most everyone can be pleased.
A. C. Urbanosky returned to the podium to speak about the flood
plain designation. Discussion followed. Mrs. Robertson asked
if her residence burned down could she rebuild it in a commer-
cial district. The City Attorney advised she could not. The
Planning & Zoning Commission had discussed and agreed informally
under such a circumstance to allow rebuilding.
Marcus Wayland addressed the Council stating he is opposed to the
ordinance because zoning would increase taxes. The City Attorney
explained the relation between zoning and taxation. Discussion
followed.
Other questions and answers followed. Discussion arose concern-
ing the sewer. Councilman Nunn re-stated the Council's position
of evolutionary and orderly changes according to a plan. Coun-
cilman Davis moved that the proposed zoning ordinance in its
present form be disapproved until changes to be made are incor-
porated, and that a citizens' advisory committee be appointed
to work with the Planning & Zoning Commission.
Martin Hawk addressed the Council stating he understood that the
recommendations of the Planning & Zoning didn't quite reflect
the words of the Planning & Zoning members and he would like to
hear from them. He went on to say he does not feel anyone is
against growth of a sort but "not the kind of growth t at th
proposed ordinance would have" and that the present ('ornc i~
be accepted with the recommended changes. Discussion followed
regarding Bob Goode's airport with Eleanor Kasper and Councilman
Berry saying they feel he should be zoned so he can continue with
his airport. On the advice of the City Attorney, Councilman
Davis amended his motion to add when and if a new study is ready,
public notices will be sent out as was done initially; seconded
by Councilman Nunn. Motion passed unanimously.
Ed Norman stated it would be good for the City to have an indus-
trial committee to seek industries.
Mayor Booker asked if anyone in the audience would like to serve
38
on the Citizens Advisory Board to please leave their name at
City Hall. Martin Hawk said he would serve, as did Ed Norman,
Ed Seydler, A. C. Urbanosky and Marcus Wayland.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
