the preliminary drainage plan was waived by the city at the moment; and future buildings on
the lots will have to comply with all the applicable ordinances of the city, including drainage
ordinance 9605.

building permit is requested on any of the proposed lots. A topographic survey was provided
with the plat that shows no concentrated areas of drainage on the property. Generally, the
storm water sheet flows in a northeast direction across the property.

8B. Ordinance No. 598 -B, 1St Reading, Ordinance revisions establishing the Southlake Program for
the Involvement of Neighborhoods (SPIN). SPIN ordinance 4598 -A, requires that the SPIN
standing committee review the ordinance on an annual basis, and make any recommendations
to City Council regarding needed revisions. The last revision of the ordinance was done in
1996. The current standing committee has just finished a three -month review of the ordinance
and has recommended that some minor revisions are necessary to more accurately reflect
practices within the SPIN program.
The main recommendation strikes out language regarding neighborhood councils. Recent
SPIN practice has shown that this concept, although an effective tool early on in the
establishment of SPIN, is actually more difficult to maintain now. While the standing
committee is recommending that the requirement to have such councils be withdrawn, each
SPIN representative is encouraged to continue to invite residents of their SPIN to serve as
liaisons and to have such a neighborhood council if they are able to do so.
Other minor changes to the ordinance have to do with added text clarifying various concepts in
the Articles of Incorporation already in place in the current ordinance. City Council was given
a briefing of the recommended revisions during the Joint City Council /SPIN meeting on
January 11. Contact Ben Thatcher with questions on this item.
