Planning Commission Recommendation
E to the City Council
r Z-1329
June 20, 1978
Identity:
This is the petition of Mr. Ceorge Goen requesting a change in zoning '
from Single Family (SF-16) and (SF 10) to Single Family (SF 7) class?-
fication on 16 acres located south of Willowwood Drive.
Location:
+
i
This tract is bisected by Highland Park Road and is located south of i
Willowwood and west of Kendolph,
I j
Recommendation:
j The Planning Commission recommends approval of this request.
The requested change in zoning would permit lot sizes of 7,000 square j
feet instead of the 16,000 or 10,000 square feet reouired under the i
current zoning' classifications. Virtuallyy all the single family ff
residential property located north of Willowwood is zoned SF-7 and
this request for SF-7 zoning would only extend that classification.
There is a critical need for affordable single family residential
lots in the city, The proposed number of lots to be attained from
this tract is 'fifty-three ((553).
Thenincreab a traffic which Traffic be generated from this development
9 9 y Engineer affirms that the area's
street systems [Willowwood to Kendolph, 011lowwood to McCormick] can
accomodate this demand. The drainage situation will be reviewed during
the subdivision process and problems that result from this development +
will be corrected, Municipal utilities are available and can be ex-
tended to servo the proposed development.
The Planning Staff supports this zoning petition, E

Planning Commission Recommendation
to the City Council
Z-1332
June 20, 1978
Identity;
This is the petition of Mr. George Schneider requestingg a change in
zoning from Agricultural (A) to Commercial (C) classification on 1.1
acres located at 28?0 East University Drive.
Location:
i
j This tract is a portion of a larger 3.4 acre tract located on the
1 south side of U. S. 380, just east of the University Drive/railroad
grade separation.
Fecom'nendation:
The Planning Commission recommends approval of this request.
There is significant commercial zoning and development in the general
area of this request. A gas station has recently been completed in
the area of University Drive and the Loop and a building supply company
and truck dealership are currently under construction. Even thoug9h
the pattern of development in this area of University Drive his clearly
been of a commercial nature, there is a day nursery and a residence
adjoining the site of this petition. No opposition was expressed
toward this request and the planning Commission recommended approval
with the thought that because of the proximity of the railroad under-
LJ pass, these properties would probably be redeveloped at a later date
for some type of non-residential use
.
The State Highway department has a 200 foot right-of-way on this section j
of University Drive, including the unpaved road that serves these
properties. The Traffic Safety Engineer feels that the accessibility j
is adequate to serve this property if rezoned. Water is available to l
serve this tract but sanitary sewer service is not immediately avail-
able. This proposed use has tentative approval for a septic system.
The staff report did not recommend approval or denial.

zone on the adjacent property to the north. The Londonderry Oaks
apartments are located to the east across Teasley Lane and the Salem
Ridge apartments are located to the west, Clearly, a multi family
(Mi:-1) zone would be compatible with surrounding land use. Also
L J with the growth that 1s projected in the near future, it does appear
that additional multi family housing is necessary.
In terms of public facilities, adequate water and sewer service is
available to the property from Londonderry Lane. Approximately one
quarter (1/4) of the tract is in the 100 year flood plain. It does
appear, however, that this is an area of shallow flooding and most
of the pro arty would be buildable after fill and channel work. The
issue of whether Teasley Lane is adequate to accomodate the increased
traffic flow was discussed at length. The majority of the Commissioners
felt that 'even though there was some congestion on Teasley Lane at
peakalrafficopetitfothis"situation was not serious enough to warrant
The staff report did not recommend approval or denial.

Planning Commission Recommendation
j to the City Council
Z-1331
June 20, 1978
Identity
This is the petition of Mr. Claude Hill requesting a change in zoning
from Multi Family (MF-1) to General Retail (GR) classification on
property located at 2531 Prairie Street.
Location:
i
j This .17 acre tract is located on the south side of Prairie Street,
[ one lot east of the Bonnie Brae-Prairie intersection,
l
Recommendation:
The Planning Commission recommends approval of this request.
Zoning in the general area of this request is mixed:_ The Commercially
(C) zoned Highway department maintenana) yard is located on the west
side of Bonnie Brae and General Retail (GR) zoning and development
exists adjAcent to the tract in this petition,;on the southeast corner
of Bonnie Brae and Prairie. To the east, the area is generally, zoned
Multi Family (MF-1). Although there is reasonable multi family po
tential'for this tract, it would seem that approval of a General
Retail (GR) zoning district in this location would not be out of
character with existing' properties and would not harm the potential
for development of surrounding properties.
The Planning Staff supports this requested change in zoning.

TO: Members of the Denton City Council
FROM: Jim Carter
RE: Annual Report of the Denton Housing Authority
DATE: May 12, 1978
j
As required by regulation, the Denton Housing Authority reports
annually to the City Council. In the past this has been an oral ppresents=
tion, but our present work is of sufficient import and diversity to
warrant a written document. I will briefly outline the essentials of
our present status and encourage your questions when the repbrt is pre-
sented at one of your scheduled meetings. I want to focus on four topics:
the Section 8-Existing Rent Supplement Program, the Rehabilitation p rw.
a cooperative effort with the Cityy, the Section 8-New Construction, end
areas of future Interest for the Denton Housing Authority, I
1. Section 8 -Existing Rent Supplement Program
I
This program has been operational for 27 months and has continued to
provide a way for low-income families to secure standard housing the
owners to standardize their property with a negotiated fair rent for
their property.
I A. Statistics
As of mid-April, 1978 we had 440 families under contraot for rent
assistance. By the end of May, another 30 contracts with the State
School will be signed, Nineteen (19) families are certified and looks
ing for places to live, This leaves us with 20 certificates remwining
r of our total of $09 Section 8 units. Each month we have some turnover
in our contracts, but I feel by mid- or end of summer all 509 units
i' will be filled. The following statistics may be of interest to you. i
440 Contracts (300 are elderly or handicapped)
385 are contracts with families with 4 persons or less
71 of these are minority +
240 are female headed households
55 contracts are with families of 5 persons or more
16 of these are minorities
14 are female headed households.
19% of the 440 contracts are minority families
53% of the 440 contracts are female-headed
69% of the 440 contracts are elderly or handicapped,,,
,r

B. Selection Criteria
i
We take a maximum of ten applications each week, on Thursdays.
In our counseling session with prospective clients, applicants are
informed of the program's policies and procedures as well as their
i
responsibilities as tenants. The Denton Housing Authority feels an
obligation to owners that tenants from our program will be a good
risk in their housing. Therefore, credit and reference checks are I
made before determining eligibility. A credit report is secured from
the Denton Credit Bureau. Also, references are checked with the
applicant's past and/or present landlords and two character references,
An employer's statement validating income and some indication of
permanent employment is required. We continue to counsel with and
encourage AFDC recipients to secure employment. +
1
C. Inspections
We have retained Mr. Osie Leinart on a contract basis to inspect
housing before leases and contracts are signed and during occupancy
to ensure that both tenants and owners are maintaining the property
in good condition. Since the owner and tenant have a responsibility
G in maintaining the property, the inspections address areas where
either the owner or tenant need to respond, Since Mr. Leinart's
contact with the tenants it limited to these inspections, he can
be more objective about the condition of the housing stock,
0, Review by HUD
Each year HUD review!; our process for taking applications and
Implementing leases and contracts. They also inspect a random sample
of the housing that we use to ensure that we are using standard
housing, The review this year led to a report requiring the Denton
Housing Authority.to use certain process steps and procedures which
heretofore we had not used, Initially such procedures as the potential i
tenant inspecting the property, the request for lease approval, etc$
were not used by the Denton Housing Authority with HUD's aw4reness,
Since our perception was that this rreated an additional workload that
I was unnecessary, HUD's present requirement that we return to these
steps can only mean that additional hours will be spent in implementing ;
the program at the expense of some of tl,e efficiency we have tried to I
use in operating the program. 1
E. Comment
li While I understand the need for operating with regulations, I do
r not understand the regulation that requires an inordinate amount of
ii ofworregulationsk which
aidsy
and abets the growth of bureaucracies.
11. Rehabilitation Program
The Rehabilitation Program makes use of funds that are part of the
Community Development Jock Grant received by the City of Denton, The
Denton Housing Authority takes applications, determines eligibility, and
p

upon receipt of documentation, pays contractors for rehabilitation work
and maintains the legal documents.
j A. Statistics
To date, 36 applications have been taken for the Rehabilitation +
Program. We have determined that 20 applicants meet the eligibility
requirements. The rehabilitation work has been completed on one house
and is in progress on six others. {
B. Cooperation with the City
` This cooperative endeavor with the City has been satisfying to
the staff of the Denton Housing Authority and perhaps serves as a
model for other joint ventures. In particular, the Planning staff
r and the inspection staff of the City have been cordial and efficient I
In implementing this program.
Ili Ill. Section $-New Construction
The Section 8-New Construction is proceeding rapidly and those who are
f ! ; in the vicinity of Bell and Coronado can now see that most of the pad work
has been completed, several slabs have been poured and some buildings are
being framed. Needless to say, our excitement grows as the housing takes
I shape. It is hoped that the cottage type housing will be completed by
the end of this year,
A. Procedures
We'are presently developin a set of procedures for taking applies.
tions and certifying eligibili{y which ensures a first come, first
served process, Presently, the interest of persons in this housing
indicates that we will have little difficulty in filling the units.
8. Training
We plan to offer, training to the person who will be the site manager
for this new housing.
I
C. Energy Efficient
The units will be built as energgyy efficient as possible utilising
six inches of insulation in the walls, 12 inches of insulation in the
attics, storm windows and steel insulated exterior doors.
i IV. Future Areas of Interest
,
A. Oreamland
The Denton Housing Authority is still interested in some resolution
to the Dreamland issue and will work cooperatively with the City in any i
effort to remedy this situation,

B. increasing the Quality and Quantity of Housing Stock r
The Denton Housing Authority is pleased with the housing progress
i` being made in rehabil,tationj inspection of properties and code
enforcement. We believe this is a proper approach to increasing
quality of our present housing stock. We also believe that additional
housing needs to be developed for all income levels and we look forward
to planning with the City k-ays in which to stimulate and/or develop
such housing.

It has become apparent that wo$ the Denton Community Theater,
need to clarify our position and our needs concerning the Old
! City }call Building,
We are in
! complete agreement with the gDAC regarding the need for
a Fine Arts Center in Denton, and we plan to work for such a
center in every way possible - BUT, meanwhile, we have a
home in the Old City Hall and here we would like to remain
until such time as better faoilitios are available,
In order that we continue with our services to the community,
it has become apparent that some improvements are neoeseary,
Our primary concern, as well as the concern of the Fire Do-
partmont, is the roof, It leaks on our stage, on our audiences
and on the firemen's beds and maps, We'are investigating the
costs to repair the roof,
We would liko you as our city council to turn the Old City
Hall over to-the DOT as caretakers of a building that is of

I The building is acknowledged to be one of the soundest struc-
tures in Dentonj but unless something is done soon to repair
the roof and'fa111ng plaster, it will become untenable, 41e

II
f If we could be allowed to share tenancy of the building with bhe
Central Fire Station and the Fire Marshall until such time as
new facilities become available for the Fire Department and
then 6ivon the entire building for the DOT, then we feel that
n Denton would have one of the finest cultural assets in the
State of :oxas. What is needed to eonvineo you, our City Council,
that this is,wise, prudent and economical?
We will be happy to meet with you at your convenience to explain
our position, present our studies on the building, and exproae
our hope for tho use of extended space (i,e, for ohildren'3
theater, the housing of a large and valuable eostumo collection,
box office and lobby spaoe), Please advise w..on we may present
these to the Counoil,
We are making plans now for our 9th Season not knowing whether
we have a home, For us to continuo investing our time, efforts
and money, we ask your assurancQ 1I0ti that we may stay as long
as necessary in order to provide a cultural contribution to the

{
In early May, the Architectural Selection Committee sent proposals to sixteen !
16)'architectural "firms,

to meet all of the financial commitments should not prevent the
obtaining of an education when it is possible to obtain financing
for such educational opportunities; and

governing body that a program for financing'student educational
loans at the college or university level through the United
States Office of Education may be made available to residents
and students of this area through the formation of a non-profit
Corporation with the power to sell bonds in order to acquire
student loan notes and it appears that under present procedure
the interest on bonds issued by the corporation would be
exempt from federal income tax and the income of the corporation
would not be subject to federal income tax; and
WHEREAS it is the further understanding of this governing
bodyy that this City will in no way or manner become financially
liable as a result of the creation and operation of said non-
profit corporation, and will incur no liability for the payment
of any debt created by it; and

of the education and aspirations of young people in the area; now

MEMORANDUM
s
TO: Jack Owen
FROM: Rick Svehla
DATE: June 14, 1978
RE: Joint storm sewer construction on Avenue E
€ The Engineering Department has completed its review of Freese and Nichols'
preliminary design for storm sewer along Avenue E which is to be funded jointly
by the City (25%) and the University (75%). As you know, Freese and Nichols
offered two 2) different schemes. Scheme 01 collects water from various
points east of Avenue E, then runs along Avenue E to Prairie Street and then
~ channel, Scheme iN2 again n col collects water the east side o of Avenue E, then
along turns west on , Scheme f 2 agStreet a point approximately two lectAvenue H where it s water fr from om the heast sid eef an existing
channe
runs t (2001) south of
Prairie and then turns west and runs to the channel, as shown on the attached
drawing.
We estimate the cost of Scheme fl to be $225,000 and Scheme l2 to be $245,000.
Scheme 42 appears to work somewhat better hydraulically. It also has an in-
tangible advantage in that no pipe would be installed on Prairie between Avenue
E and the Physical Plant driveway. This would eliminate some of the incoo-
venience to the adjacent businesses at the corner of Avenue E and Prairie.
The Engineering Department would recommend that the Council approve Scheme 01.
We feel that both schemes meet all of the drainage requirements of the City,
and, while the businesses at the corner of Avenue E and Prairie will be incon-
venienced somewhats we feel that it will be minimal.' Lastly, the University
indicated that it is committed to building the least expensive scheme. They
hive also said that if the City feels that the more expensive scheme should be
built, they would only participate to a level of 75% of the least expensive
scheme. If the Council does recommend Scheme N1, the City's estimated share
would be approximately $66,500. If the Council would prefer Scheme 02, the
City's estimated share would be $56,500 plus the difference between the total
cost of Scheme 41 and 12 (i.e. $20,000) for a total of $76,540.
