with just a 5 year option on the parking lot leased from the
City. Mr. Osborne said he would like a straight 10 year lease,
with no 5 year option, beginning January, 1986. Mr. Osborne said
he would also consider an increase in yearly rate.
After some discussion, Councilman Brede moved that the City

CONSIDER REQUEST FROM
HALE
Mr. Philip Hale, co -owner of the Tejas Golf Course,
addressed the Council requesting that the restrictions requiring
this to remain and operate as a golf course be removed. Mr. Hale
stated that at the present time he had no plans of changing the
property from a golf course, but in the future, should he start
losing money on the golf course, he would like to be able to
develop this property into something that would prove profitable
or be able to sell it to recoup his money. He said he did not
think he could sell a golf _course which was losing money.

Stephenville on King's 1956 Map of Stephenville from the
intersection of said West Mason Street with the west line
of North Race Avenue to the east line of North Erath Avenue
and on that portion of North Race Avenue where such street
is shown to run between Blocks 25 and 110 of the City of
Stephenville and from its intersection with the south line
of West Mason Street to its intersection with the north line
of West Washington Street, on King's 1956 Map of Stephenville,

City Council Minutes

Councilman Riggins pointed out that those restrictions were
there to insure the city would always have a golf course.
Councilman Hammett commented that it seemed the Council
would be willing to lift the restrictions except for the B -4
zoning classification. If the restrictions were lifted now,
someone could come along buy the property and put any thing that
would go in a B -4 zoning classification on it.
After more discussion, Mayor Clayton advised Mr. Hale that
it was the consensus of the Council that they would not have a
problem with lifting the restrictions, but did have a problem
with the B -4 zoning on it because of the possibilities that exist
and all that could be done out there.
After more discussion, Councilman Swindle moved that the
restrictions be removed on the Tejas Golf Course. Councilman
Gordon seconded the motion. The motion did not carry by the
following vote:
AYES: Councilmen Swindle, Gordon, and Hammett
NOES: CouncilmenrBrede, Riggins, McSwain, and Tatum.
ITEM IV: PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER APPLICATION
DON MORRIS TO REZONE. ERnM u -1 rnuF Fa
I1]i1Pi000
Mayor Clayton opened the floor for a public hearing to con-
sider rezoning, from R-1 and -R -2 to B -2 the above described
property.
THOSE IN FAVOR OF REZONING:
Mr. Fred Bruce Parker addressed the Council on behalf of Mr.
Don Morris. Mr. Parker advised that Mr. Morris planned a small
scale retail shopping center for this property similar to The
Shores Shopping Center in Granbury.
Mayor Clayton said that in previous discussion it seemed
that all businesses- planned for this shopping center would go in
a B -1 District.
THOSE OPPOSED TO REZONING:
None
There being no one else present wishing to comment on this
request, Mayor Clayton closed the public hearing.
Councilman Swindle commented that he would like to see this
property zoned to B -1 instead of B -2. He said that, if the
shopping center was to be tailored after the one in Granbury,
there was nothing in a B -1 that would not fit, but a lot in B -2
that might not fit that location. B -2 Districts have more
industrial type businesses, such as, garages and ,gas stations,
etc. and he would recommend it be zoned B -1.
Mrs. Virginia Dorris, a member of the Planning & Zoning
Commission, advised the Council that the request was for the B -2
zoning. The Council did accept the recommendation from the P & Z
Commission for B -2 zoning on the property directly across FM 988
for the Wayne Blue property for the new Ford Agency and, under
394
City Council Minutes
08/07/84
the circumstances, they felt it would be appropriate to rezone
this property to B -2 also.
City Administrator Kurt Ackermann pointed out that 500 feet
back on FM 988 from Highway 377 -67 was already zoned B -2 and this
6.03 acres was adjacent to that already zoned B -2.
Councilman Swindle moved approval of Ordinance No.08 -84 -07.2,
AN ORDINANCE REZONING THE LAND DESCRIBED FROM THE ZONING
CLASSIFICATION OF R -1 (SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING DISTRICT) AND R -2
(DUPLEX AND APARTMENT DISTRICT) TO B-2 (SECONDARY AND HIGHWAY
BUSINESS DISTRICT).
Councilman Hammett_ seconded the motion. The motion carried by
the following vote:
AYES: All members present voted aye.
NOES: None
ITEM V: PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER APPLICATION FROM MRS.

Mayor Clayton opened the floor for a public hearing to con-
sider comments on the above application for rezoning.
THOSE IN FAVOR OF REZONING:
None
THOSE OPPOSED TO REZONING:
None
There being no one present wishing to comment on this
request, Mayor Clayton closed the public hearing.
Councilman McSwain commented that if the persons making the
request for rezoning were not interested enough to appear before
the Council, the Council should not consider it.
Mrs. Virginia Dorris addressed the Council stating that the
people that came before the P & Z Commission were very concerned
about the large apartment complexes that are going into the R -2
Districts now. They felt this would be a measure they could take
to protect their property. The P & Z Commission commended them
for their foresight in seeing the problem that existed for them
and to come up with a solution that would take care of it.
Councilman McSwain moved approval of Ordinance No.08 -84 -07.1,
AN ORDINANCE REZONING THE LAND DESCRIBED FROM THE ZONING
CLASSIFICATION OF R -2 (DUPLEX AND APARTMENT DISTRICT) TO
R -1 (SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING DISTRICT).
Councilman Tatum seconded the motion. The motion carried by the
following vote:

R -2 (DUPLEX AND APARTMENT DISTRICT) TO B-
Mayor Clayton opened the floor for a public hearing to con-
sider comments on the above change of zoning request.
THOSE IN FAVOR OF REZONING:
Mr. Ronald Bryan, 2230 Lingleville Road, addressed the
Council stating that because of the apartment complex across the
street from this property and the Rock House in the area the pro-
perty owners did not feel they could ever recover their invest-
ment, should they want to sell it unless it was business
property.
THOSE OPPOSED TO REZONING:
None
There being no one else present wishing to comment on this
request, Mayor Clayton closed the public hearing.
Councilman Riggins moved approval of Ordinance No.08 -84 -07.3,
AN ORDINANCE REZONING THE LAND DESCRIBED FROM THE ZONING
CLASSIFICATION OF R -2 (DUPLEX AND APARTMENT DISTRICT) TO B -1
(NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS DISTRICT).
Councilman Swindle seconded the ,motion. The motion carried by
the following vote:

VII: PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER APPLICATION FROM MR.
FRED O. PLACKE III TO REZONE FROM 14-1 IATMaT.F.
V4
Mayor Clayton opened the floor for a- public hearing to con-
sider comments on the rezoning of the above property.
THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE REZONING:
Mr. Fred O. Placke III addressed the Council stating
everything he had planned on putting in the proposed shopping
mall, with the exception of the theatre and the sign, would fit
in a B -1 District and he did not have a problem with it being
zoned as B -1.
Mayor Clayton commented that the Council definitely wanted
Mr. Placke to have the zoning that he needs, but if he can get by
with B -1, we also want him to get by with B -1. Also, when it
comes time for him to put up his sign, the Council does not want
him to have a problem with a sign that will be representative of
that size operation. After all there area lot of acres in his
proposal.
Mr. Placke advised that all his needs, with the exceptions
of the movie theatre, atheltic club, and the sign, could be met
with a B -1 zoning classification, with the understanding that the
Board of Adjustment could rule on these exceptions..

Councilman Swindle moved that the 51 acres out of the Wm.
Motley Survey, A -515, be rezoned to B -1 (Neighborhood Business
District). Councilman Gordon seconded the motion.
Mayor Clayton advised that those opposed to the rezoning
have not had an opportunity to speak. Will not call for question
on motion until they have spoken.
THOSE OPPOSED TO REZONING:
Mrs. Virginia Dorris said she was not opposed to the
rezoning, but she did want to make the Council and Mr. Placke
aware that movie theatres are not in B -1 Districts. Some of the
P & Z Commissioners are still in favor of leaving them in B -2
Districts in the proposed new zoning ordinance. Mrs. Dorris said
she personally did not have a problem with movie theatres being
in B -1 Districts as she felt they should be close enough for
children to be able to get to them, but she did want to make the
Council and Mr. Placke aware of these things.
Councilman Hammett commented that it might be better to
rezone it to B -2 if it was going to create problems with these
exceptions. Mr. Placke, with as nice an operation as he is
planning, would not put something in it that would be detrimental
to the area.
Mr. Tim Justice, 1410 N. Dale, addressed the Council
opposing the traffic that will be generated with this shopping
mall and the location of the parking lot. He said he felt that
if they would change the entrance to the parking lot it would
decrease the traffic in the area of Inglewood Street on which he
plans to purchase a home. He feels that if the plan is left as
it is now people will be taking this route as a "short -cut" which
will create even more traffic in the residential areas.
There being no one else present wishing to comment on this
request for rezoning, Mayor Clayton closed the public hearing.
Councilman Swindle withdrew his motion on the floor and
Councilman Gordon withdrew his second.
Councilman Swindle moved that the 51 acres out of the Wm.
Motley Survey, A -515, Erath County, Texas, be rezoned from R -1 to
B -2 as requested by Mr. Fred 0. Placke III. Councilman Hammett
seconded the motion. The motion carried by the following vote:
AYES: All members present voted aye.
NOES: None
ITEM VIII: CONSIDER FOR APPROVAL AMENDMENTS TO MOBILE
Mayor Clayton advised that a considerable amount of work was
done on this ordinance during the public hearing on July 12, 1984.
The changes discussed and agreed upon in that meeting have been
incorporated into this ordinance. If anyone has any questions
regarding said changes, the Council will be glad to consider them
at this time.
Councilmen Larry Hammett and Floyd Gordon asked that the
records show their abstention from discussion or voting on this
agenda item because of conflict of interest.
Mr. Don Moore with the Stephenville Mobile Home Park,
addressed the Council regarding changes discussed in the July
12th meeting. He said there was one other change he felt needed
to be made with regard to Section 4 -11 - Non - Conforming License.

City Council Minutes
08/07/84
After some discussion, it was determined that Mr. Moore was
using the recommended changes received from Ms. Charlotte
Zimmerman, Vice President of the Texas Manufactured Housing
Association, who attended the July 12th meeting and had recom-
mended some additional changes to those discussed in said
meeting. Mr. Moore did not have a copy of the Mobile Home Park
Ordinance compiled by city staff incorporating the changes agreed
on in the July 12th meeting.
Mayor Clayton advised that copies of the proposed ordinance
would be distributed to the park owners and another meeting set
up when they have had an opportunity to study the ordinance pro -
posed by the city staff.
CONSIDER FOR APPROVAL AMENDMENT TO SUBDIVISION
CITY OF STEPHENVILLE BY ARTICLES 970a AND 974a OF
Director of Public Works Danny Johnson addressed the Council
advising them that the city's Subdivision Ordinance has always
contained the Article 974a (5 mile extraterritorial jurisdiction)
which empowers the city to review the plats and plans for the
general requirments that are associated with the Subdivision
Ordinance. This involves the general layouts, such as, street
widths, right of way, etc. which would comply with the city's
Comprehensive Plan. This Article has been in the Subdivision
Ordinance all along, but not enforced.
Mr. Johnson said, on the recommendation of the P & Z
Commission and city staff, he is requesting an amendment to the
Subdivision Ordinance which would include Article 970a, (1 mile
extraterritorial jurisdiction) of The Revised Civil Statues.
This Article would enable the City to enforce the Subdivision
Ordinance for development within a one mile radius of the city
limits. Mr. Johnson said there would be times when the P & Z
Commission and the City Council would want to consider variances,
such as curb and gutter and extension of water and sewer in these
areas due to the type of development depending on the feasibility
of installation of these services. He said the main concern was
that the street widths coincide with widths of city streets and
the layout of the - .subdivision ties in with the city's
Comprehensive Plan of the city.
After some discussion, Councilman Riggins moved approval of
the following ordinance:
ORDINANCE NO. 08 -84 -07.4
AN ORDINANCE DECLARING THAT THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THE
SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF STEPHENVILLE SHALL
APPLY TO THE EXTRATERRITORIAL JURSIDICTION GIVEN TO THE CITY
OF STEPHENVILLE BY ARTICLES 970a AND 974a OF THE REVISED
CIVIL STATUTES OF TEXAS.

drivers to provide much better service in the future.

: CONSIDER REQUEST FROM MRS. JOYCE WHITI
Mrs. Joyce Whitis addressed the Council and presented plans
of the new animal shelter and advised they hoped to have it open
by October 1, 1984. Mrs. Whitis said the County Commissioners
were participating and she was going to ask the Dublin City
Council for their participation.
Mrs. Whitis advised the Council that she was requesting an
amendment to Section 3 -8 of the Code of Ordinances to change the
holding time in the animal shelter from 5 days to 3 days. She
advised they just did not have room to hold them for -5 days.
After some discussion, Councilman Swindle moved that the
Code of Ordinances, Section 3 -8, be amended to change the holding
time in the animal shelter from five (5) days to three (3) days
excluding Sunday and holidays. Councilman Tatum seconded the
motion. The motion carried by the following vote:

ON 13 -6(c
Councilman Gordon said he felt the traffic in the city park
was too fast and endangered the children in the park. He felt
the speed limit should be reduced to ten (10) miles per hour and
strictly enforced.
Chief of Police Doug Conner said that ten (10) mph was very
slow and fifteen (15) mph might be slow enough if it was strictly
enforced.
After some discussion, Councilman Gordon moved that the City
Attorney be directed to draft an ordinance amending the Code of
Ordinances, Section 16 -6(c), reducing the speed limit in the city
parks from fifteen (15) miles per hour to ten (10) miles per
hour. Councilman Brede seconded the motion. The motion carried

ITEM XIV
AMENDMENT TO HOTEL
Director of Parks & Recreation Ronnie Isham addressed the
Council recommending that the Council amend the Hotel Occupancy
Tax Ordinance increasing levy from 48 to 7% and the city retain
the 3% difference
Councilman Riggins commented that this money could be used
to help finance the bandshell.
Billy Mobley, director of the Chamber of Commerce, said he
would like to see the money definitely earmarked for the
bandshell, a civic center, or something to promote tourism in the
city.
After some discussion, Councilman McSwain moved that the
City Council ask City Attorney Chandler to draft an amendment to
the Hotel Occupancy Tax Ordinance increasing the levy from four
(0) percent to seven (78) percent. Councilman Riggins seconded
the motion. The motion carried by the following vote:
AYES: All members present voted aye.
NOES: None
Mayor Clayton advised that he would appoint a committee
later to study and determine the priorties for these funds.
XV: HEAR
RONNIE ISHAM
Director of Parks & Recreation Ronnie Isham presented a
financial report to the Council on the Texas A.S.A. Men State
Fastpitch Championship Tournament. The report showed an esti-
mated loss of $3,047.00. Mr. Isham advised the Council that this
was a "first class tournament ". He said that if he had the tour-
nament next year there were some changes he could make that would
make it more profitable for the city. He said he felt he could
have broken even if there had not been two divisions and ten
extra teams he was not expecting.
Councilman Riggins commented that he felt the city should at
least break even on a tournament of this size and importance.
Mr. Billy Mobley, Director of the Chamber of Commerce, said
he had heard a lot of very favorable comments about the tour-
nament and the City of Stephenville._ He said he estimated the
tournament brought approximately 2500 people to Stephenville.
It was the consensus of the Council that Mr. Isham should,
if he has this tournament next year, try to figure out a way to
at least break even on the cost of putting on a. tournament.

ITEM XVII: DISCUSSION OF APPLICATION FOR MAINSTREET PROJECT
Mrs. Betty Chew, Planning & Inspections Department, pre-
sented the following report (in part) on the "Main Street
Program ".
The "Main Street Program" is a "Self Help Program" for revi-
tilizing a designated project area in the community. There are
two types of Main Street Programs:
1. Official (designated) City - A city designated by the
Texas State Historical Commission for the program.
Official Main Street Cities received three major things
from the State Historical Commission that Non - Official
Cities do not:
a. Publicity
b. Services of architect
c. Resource team
2. Non - Official City - a city initiating the program
without official designation from the commission.
The project time period is three (3) years.
The city provides -a coordinator for period of the project as
follows:
a. Salary + fringe benefits
b. Office
c. Supplies
d. Auto Allowance
e. Travel Expense
There is no funding provided by the State Historical
Commission. The funding comes from local financial institutions
forming "loan pools" to provide reduced interest loans to pro-
perty owners in the designated areas for construction or
renovation.
Mr. John Latham, President of the Chamber of Commerce, Mr.
Billy Mobley, Manager of the Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Tommy
Cochran, and Norman Fisher said they were in favor of this pro-
ject 1008.
It was the consensus of the Mayor and Council that this is a
good project, but at the present time the Council is trying to
balance the budget and the coordinator of this project would be
$20,000 at least which they did not feel they have at this time.

Mayor Clayton advised that it will be considered at a later

Fire Chief Jimmy Mooney explained that Motorola and Eagle
Information System (General Electric) were the only two that met
specifications. He also explained some of the differences bet-
ween those bids meeting specifications and those that did not.
Mr. John Francis with Motorola Communications addressed the
Council to explain their bid. He said they were in compliance
with all specifications of the bid and some parts exceeded spe-
cifications. He said they looked at it as a systems approach.
They do not supply just parts of a system. He advised they have
their own governmental lease /purchase plan of financing if
needed.
Mr. Russ Miller of Russ Miller Communications addressed the
Council to explain his bid. Mr. Miller advised that he had bid a
combination of several different brands and had taken exception
to a lot of the specifications because he felt many of the speci-
fications requested something we did not need and did not need to
pay for. He felt certain manufacturers offer better equipment
than others in certain divisions of their product lines. He felt
that by offering several different manufacturers' equipment to
put a package together that he could do a better job at con-
siderably less cost and would have the same performance.
Fire Chief Mooney said the only recommendation he could make
would be for a bid that met the specifications.
Mayor Clayton said that these bids far exceed the - budgeted
amount and they were going to have to look at this thing again
and see if we can come up with the extra money or rewrite the
specifications to see if we can settle for less or not quite such
stringent specifications.
Councilman Hammett commented that he felt, if we are not
going to accept the one that meets specifications, we should
reject these bids redo our specifications and take bids again.
Mayor Clayton said he wanted to be fair with everybody and
give everybody an equal chance, but we also have to consider our
budget and we just don't have the funds available. He said we
need to learn more about the radios because, naturally, if we can
save the city money by using these other specifications, fine but
those are not the specs we wrote for these bids, so we've just
got our hands tied there. He said he wanted to table this until
at least the next meeting, if it was agreeable with the Council.
The Council agreed.
Mayor Clayton advised the bidders present that he wanted to
do what would be equitable for all when the bid was let. He said
the Council would try to come up with something and they would be
notified at that time.

DISCUSS ADOPTING POLICY SPECIFIYING TERMS FOR
Director of Public Works Danny Johnson advised the Council
that Phase I of the "East Loop Distribution Line" has just been
finished. He presented the Council with copies of the total cost
of the project and a cost breakdown of the pro -rata charges for
persons wishing to connect.to this water line on front footage
basis as follows:
Total footage of lines laid --
14,887 feet
Total cost per foot ------------------------- $13.82 per foot
Pro -rata charge to customer = $6.91 per ft + tapping charge,
street restoration charge, and
meter deposit.
Mr. Johnson,explained that the cost of each project will
vary according_ to the work involved with the installation of said
project. -
Mr. Johnson recommended that the Council set a policy that
each time the city extends utility lines to an area of the city a
pro -rata cost for connection to those utilities will be figured
and presented to the Council for approval. Each customer that
connects to said utility line will.pay,to the city the pro -rata
cost approved by the Council.
After more discussion, Councilman Gordon moved that each
person connecting to the East Loop Water Distribution Line (Byron
Street) will pay to the City of Stephenville $6.91 per front foot
plus tapping charge, street restoration, and meter deposit.
