Special Meeting
wwi May 17, 1966
City of Southlake
Because of several pressing matters, a special meeting of the City Council
was called. Answdring roll call were all councilmen. The mayor served
as secretary for the meeting.
The first item of business centered around the J. C. Wood Trailer Court
zoning request. A plat which Mr. Wood had submitted to Mayor Schell
was studied. It appeared to meet the requirements Council had previously
requested. After general discussion, motion for zoning the area was made
by Earl Williams, as follows:
"I make the motion that council approve the request for rezoning for use
as a trailer court, the 21 acres as shown on the plat attached which has
been submitted by Mr. J. C. Wood. The land to be used as a trailer park
only by Mr. Wood, with a maximum of twelve trailers as shown on the plat.
In the event operation of the original park is discontinued, or property
sold, leased, or any change in management, this entire tract will automatically
revert back to single dwelling residential zoning."
The motion was seconded by J. J. Carlile, and carried. Mr. Schell stated
he would inform Mrs. Lavon Baird that a permit for same could now be issued
and that the amount of $2.50 would be sufficient therefor. (Based on
property improvements.)
Next came a discussion as to whom people should apply for all new water
taps. It was agreed that J. J. Carlile should first be contacted and
a check be made to see if the minimum fee would cover the charges. When
this was agreed upon, then the money therefor should be turned over to
the city secretary, Mrs. Nelson, in order that all records could be kept
in order.
An item of discussion came up in regard to hearsay concerning Mr. McClellan's
voiced statement about starting a trailer court in defiance of city ordinances.
A note from Robert Gladney verified the city council's belief that an
instrument had been signed in obtaining the loan for the water system
that indicated the city was non-encumbered--as far as debt or existing
franchise to anyone for the purpose of distributing water..
No further action was taken on *by items of business which came up for
discussion. Meeting adjourned by mutual consent.
pax;-T-Of, For the record: It was discussed
ICLO at this meeting that notices should
Mayor be sent to fad trailer residents in
the area whohnot renewed their
temporary permit. Instead of turning
this task of notification to Keller Austin, as first
discussed, the notices were designated as a duty of the
city secretary.
