1965-08-03 Council Meetin City of Southlake, Texas August 3, 1965, 7:30 p.m. 1 The Meeting was ng s opened by Mayor Paul Schell. Councilmen answer- ing roll call were J. L. Clow, W. H. Crumbaker, J. J. Carlile, J. D. Cate, Earl Williams. Also present were Mr. and Mrs. Bill May, Lanny Tate, Weldon Fewell, James Winfrey, Art Clifton and Mr. Red Whaley, Irvin;, Texas. Other members of Southlake administrative committee were G. W. Har;adine, chairman of Zoning and Planning, John Quinn, chairman of Board of Adjust- ments, Frank Denton, Water Commission, and Keller Austin, City Marshal. Mayor Schell called for reading of minutes of the previous meeting which were approved as read. He then asked Mr. Whaley to state his business. Mr. Whaley explained at great length that he had purchased cer- tain land, and had diligently tried to find the proper person to learn whether or not there were building ordinances and zoning ordinances in the community. Having failed to"obtain information other than that he could do what he chose, he. im- ' mediately started construction of a building, to house his merchandise which constituted largely antique articles of various and sundry nature. Upon the day prior to the meeting of Council, Mr. Whaley had been instructed by Southlake officials to cease the construction because he was in violation of the city's requirements pertain- ing to building and zoning. ' Mr. Whaley had at considerable expense to himself discontinued the construction work and was now pleading that the city ;rant his request for re-zoning and allow him to obtain the necessary permit to continue his operation. He re-emphasized his willing- ness to cooperate with the city. Page two, minutes August 3, 1965 k Mayor Schell informed Mr. Whaley that his problem would have to ■ be referred to the Committee on Zoning and Planning before Council could take action. Mr. Whaley expressed his willingness, ' however, but further stated that such a delay would be of tremendous hurt inasmuch as he had mailed some 500 cards announcing an opening date of August 15. Whereupon there came a general discussion as to the pros and cons of this man's problem. Mr. G. W. Hargadine, chairman of the committee to which this matter would be referred, being present, asked that the council consider the :natter of by- passing his committee and take immediate action. Mr. Hargadine spoke in behalf of Mr. ~4haley's problem and expressed confidence that he would operate his business in an orderly fashion and cooperate in every way with city rules and regulations. After further discussion, Councilman J. D. Cate made the following motion: That the usual committee action be by-passed and the construction allowed to continue after Mr. 14haley obtained the necessary building permit from Mr. Frank Denton and that the land be considered re-zoned for commercial use for the purposes afore- mentioned, i.e., the sale of antiques, same not to be wrecked cars or other unusable w1hole or pieces of merchandise classified as junk; that all merchandise be stored within the building for specific articles on display for advertising purposes; that the business be operated in an orderly fashion in every respect; that this zoning shall apply only to this specific business and that any change thereof must be considered in advance by the proper authorities of the city. , This motion was discussed generally and when all concerned were satisfied with the wording, J. J. Carlile seconded the ' motion and it carried. Art Clifton was then invited to state his business, and this I; had to do with obtaa.nan~ a permit for certain changes and j addition: in his grocery store. He was referred to Mr. Frank I Denton. i a 1 Pae three, Minutes Auvust 3, 1965 Lannie Tate asked that, the City consider his request for annex- ation.
