i Council Meeting
December 14, 1963 fi•.
Mayor Tate called the meeting to order with the following councilmen
answering roll calls Earl Williams, J. J. Carlile, J. D. Cate, W. H. Crumbaker,
Paul Schell. Corporation court judge, W. G. Miller was present as was
Mr. Mark Gordon and Mr. Coy Stanphill of the Texas Power and Light Company.
Mr. E. P. Allison was also present and Mayor Tate suggested that the first
business on the agenda would be the plans to be presented by Mr. Allison.
Mr. Allison asked for permit for construction of one tour-plex unit to be
constructed on his land located in the city limits. Inasmuch as this type
construction departed from the ordinance which specifies multiple dwelling,
but which had never been construed to indicate apartment type buildings,
a full discussion of the proposed construction ensued. Considerable time
was given to lateral lines, adequate disposal of sewage from the multiple
dwelling being considered extremely important; location of a well, etc.
After the matter had been developed fully, Mr. J. J. Carlile made a
motion that the council approve permit for one unit of the apartments at
this time, this motion seconded by W. H. Crumbaker. Before the vote, Mr.
Allison stated that approval of only one unit might interfere with the
financing of the construction. Mr. Earl Williams and Mr. Paul Schell
suggested that council could give tentative approval of the entire project,
if required by the financing company, subject to inspection of building,
sewer lay-out. This was considered a good idea, but was not included in
the motion as made by Mr. Carlile, which carried.
Mr. Allison thanked the council and Mayor Tate called on the gentlemen
from TP and L to speak in regard to the help they might be able to give in
working out zoning problems in this fast-growing area. Mr. Stanphill gave
some interesting facts and Mr. Gordon suggested that the Texas Municipal Leagae
would be an excellent source of help in this regard. Both gentlemen were
generous with their time and offers to be of assistance and Mayor Tate expressed
appreciation for their coming.
Mayor Tate had been contacted in regard to a building-permit for a trailer
park installation by Mr. Chell Taylor. After general discussion, Paul Schell
made-a motion to deny this request for rezoning, Earl Williams seconded and
motion carried.
Routine bills were approved for payment and donations to Carroll PU
for $50.00 and to Grapevine Fire D partment for $100.00 were approved. A
stove for $20.00 had been installed and this amount was paid to J. J. Carlile,
and approval of a bill for butane which would be sent by Whiteiide Gas Company
was also included. J. R. Tate was refibursed fora ledger which he secured for
office use; Keller Austin w$s instructed to again use about $15.00 for courtesy
gifts-to Grapevine dispatchers at Christmastime.
Mayor Tate discussed the new zoning commission briefly and hoped to have
five members by next meeting-date.
There was no further business and on motion of J. J. Carlile, meeting
adjourned.
