PRELIMINARY PLAT OF CHRISTY
Charles Castleberry, Chairman of the Planning & Zoning
Commission, addressed the Council stating that Christy
Plaza is a proposed 7 lot industrial /commercial subdivision
located on 4.91 acres on W. Washington east of the Bosque
River Centre. Norman Christy is the owner. James Young
will serve as engineer.
Mr. Castleberry further stated the Planning & Zoning
Commission approved the Preliminary Plat of Christy Plaza
as presented with the following changes to be included on
the Final Plate
1. The proposed street in the subdivision be named.
2. Utility easement cut -backs behind Lot 4, 5, and 7.
3. Easement or alley to be extended along the north side
of Lot 7 to connect with the street.
4. Additional fire hydrant to be installed at the end of
the 8" water line.
The Commission also recommends a variance be granted to
allow 16' utility easements on all rear lot lines instead
of the required 25' service alleys.
Mr. Vince Daddio addressed the Council stating he was
speaking on behalf of himself and Mr. Christy. Mr. Daddio
said he had brought information to the P & Z Commission
regarding how these types of things are treated in other
areas based on the codes they have in other areas. In most
areas they are waiving the use and paving of alleys for
varied reasons. When an alley is dedicated, it takes that
property off the tax rolls and then it must be maintained
by the city. The maintenance of alleys is an enormous
expense for citys. The cost of the land initially and then
the dedication of approximately 20% of the land for alleys
makes the development costs prohibitive.
Mr. James Young, Project Engineer, addressed the Council
stating that when a 25' alley is paved and used only for
garbage /delivery trucks it will not stay alive. Asphalt
pavement must be used to stay alive. If it is not used
it will die and deteriorate in a very short period of time
and then there is a maintenance problem which becomes an
expense problem for the city.
Councilman Swindle said he would like to see this sent back
to Planning & Zoning. If they are going to do this and this
is the first case we've had and based on what James Young
has told us. That we don't need a 25' alleyway then we
should rewrite the Zoning Ordinance, take it out of the
Ordinance then come back and pass the plat rather than
grant a variance. The P & Z Commission should reason out
why a 25' paved alleyway is in the ordinance. If it is not
needed, take it out of the ordinance.
Charles Castleberry commented that during discussion of the
new Zoning Ordinance, it was the Planning & Zoning
Commission's belief and his own as well that the 25' alleys
are needed in the industrial /commercial areas for the traf-
fic you might have in these areas. He recommended that the
ordinance not be changed from the 25' alleys in the commer-
cial areas.
282
Director of Public Works Danny Johnson advised that as long
as Mr. Christy makes provisions and provides for service
access consistent with and adequate for the use proposed
the Commission may waive the requirement of a 25' paved
alleyway.
Councilman Pinkie Swindle moved to reject the Planning &
Zoning Commission's recommendation to approve this
Preliminary Plat of Christy Plaza.
Councilman Bob Self stated this is the 3rd time for Mr.
Christy to present plats for development of this property.
It is a difficult piece of property to develop. He said he
was at the P & Z Commission's meeting where this was
discussed. After listening to the discussion, he believes
the variance on the 25' alleyway is the thing to do in this
case because it is a unique piece of property.
Councilman Jim McSwain seconded the motion made by Council-
man Swindle.
Mr. Norman Christy, owner of the property in question,
addressed the Council stating that he does want to develop
this property. He said he was asking for a 16' easement in
place of the 25' alley.
City Attorney Chandler advised that the Council would not be
setting a precedent because the Commission may waive this
requirement where other provision are made for service access.
After further discussion, question was called for Council-
man Swindle's motion on the floor not to accept the recom-
mendations of the Planning & Zoning Commission on the
Christy Plaza Preliminary Plat.
The motion did not carry by the following vote:
AYES: Councilmen Pinkie Swindle and Jim McSwain.
NOES: Councilmen Bob Self, Larry Hammett, Bill Brede,
Allen Horne, David Clayton, and Larry Tatum.
Councilman Larry Tatum moved to approve the Preliminary

2. Utility easement cut -backs behind Lots 4, 5, and 7.
3. Easement or alley to be extended along the north side of
Lot 7 to connect with the street.
4. Additional fire hydrant to be installed at the end of
the 8" water line

ITEM IX: CONSIDER REQUEST TO PURCHASE CITY RIGHT -OF -WAY ON BARTON
STREET.
Charles Castleberry, Chairman of the Planning & Zoning
Commission, addressed the Council stating that Mr. Jesse
Hale would like to purchase a portion of Barton Street
adjoining his property. He noted there are two 4" main
Lone Star Gas lines located in the Barton Street right -of-
way. No structures can be built over these lines.
283
The Planning & Zoning Commission recommends closing the
portion of Barton Street as requested and also the 8' alley
behind Lot 3, Block 3, Frey First Addition.
Mayor Clayton stated that the value of this property would
probably be less than $1,000 and he stipulated that the
other property owners on the other side of the alley has
the right to purchase the other side of the alley. This
being the case, it would only be fair and proper for that
person to have to pay a portion of the survey costs.
City Administrator Kurt Ackermann advised that as the
Council had determined the property value was less than
$1,000, the next step would be offer the other half to the
adjoining property owners and negotiate a price with the
Hales and other property owners.
Mayor David Clayton assigned
Development Committee to work
back at the next meeting.

be adopted as the Emergency Ambulance Service policy:
POLICY STATEMENT - AMBULANCE SERVICE
Effective April 1, 1986 the City of Stephenville will
continue to provide emergency medical ambulance
transport for the City and, as provided by agreement,
Erath County. The City will cease its non - emergency
ambulance transfer operation.
It is the intent of the City Council to remove the City
from competition with private service providers in the
area of non - emergency transfer ambulance service.
The City of Stephenville will consider all ambulance
calls to which it is required to respond as medical
emergencies and will bill for such service accordingly.
Requests for ambulance transport from Stephenville to
points outside Erath County must be for emergencies
only and the patient's condition must mandate immediate
ambulance transportation. The City Council requires
that a physician, registered nurse or other qualified
medical staff member accompany Stephenville Fire
Department Personnel during emergency ambulance runs
ordered for points outside Erath County.

ment for emergency ambulance service as written.

for the Committee, said they had met with the Chief of
Police Doug Conner to discuss this problem. Chief
Conner had advised them there were about 100 requests
to unlock cars for persons having locked their keys in
their car. It takes so much of the officers time to
unlock the cars that they should be doing something
else. Also it is against state law for keys to be left
in a car therefore they felt they were abetting persons
in breaking state law. It is the Committee's recommen-
dation that the police officers stop unlocking cars
that have the keys locked in them.
