4. Variances
A. The Council considered three variances to Sec. 34-124 of
the Code of Ordinances. The requests would vary Paragraphs (e 5
channel lining, (g) (easements), and (e) 11 (lot to lot) drainage
for the Rolling Meadows Estates Addition. The 187.877 acre site
was located at the southwest corner of Shepard Road and Green
Valley Circle. (The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended
approval 5-2).
Mayor Pro Tem Biles returned to the meeting,
Frank Robbins, Director for Planning and Development, stated that
there were three variances associated with this subdivision. one
dealt with the underground drainage requirement which, according to
regulations, would have to be built in a drainage way. Underground
drainage in this area would be excessive. The second variance
dealt with lot to lot drainage which indicated that if drainage
from more than two lots went across a third lot, drainage
improvements would have to be made. As these were large lots with
single family homes, staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission
felt that that requirement was excessive. The third variance dealt
with drainage easement in an area where most of the water flowed
naturally. Staff did not recommend approval of ,is variance but
the Planning and Zoning Commission did recommend it. There was some
concern regarding how much water would actually flow through the
subdivision. There was a concern expressed at the Planning and
Zoning Commission regarding the width of the drainage easement
which might be excessive.
Council Member Cott asked what could be done later during
development to ease drainage concerns.
Robbins replied that most of the drainage issues were in single
family residential development areas in which the density was
significantly greater than with this proposal. These were large
lots in which the required drainage requirements would be an

B. The Council considered adoption of an ordinance providing

Council Member Miller left the meeting.
Jerry Clark, Director of Engineering and Transportation, stated
that this was a request of the University of North Texas. Highland
Street currently ran westbound and Maple ran eastbound. The
University was interested in changing its entranceways in the area
and the change would facilitate traffic movement. There was a
small cost associated with signage changes which the University
would pay for.
Council Member Miller retuii,ed to the meeting.
The following ordinance was considered:

8. The Council considered a motion to adjust the compensation of
the City Attorney.
Young motioned, Biles seconded to establish a performance rating
for the City Attorney of "Exceeding the requirements and standards
of the job", and that effective April 15, 1996, in accordance with
the Council adopted pay increase program that the City Attorney's
salary increase by 7%. On roll vote, Miller "aye", Young "aye",
Cott "aye", Krueger "aye", Brock "aye", Biles "aye", and Mayor
Castleberry "aye". Motion carried unanimously.
9. The Council held a discussion and gave staff direction
concerning the Development Policy committee.
Frank Robbins, Director for Planning and Development, stated that
staff was requesting direction regarding membership on the
Development Policy Committee which would be reviewing and making
recommendations on amendments to the Denton Development Plan. At
a meeting with the neighborhood groups, a recommendation was
brought forth by the groups to increase the number of neighborhood
representatives from 1 to 2 per Council district for a total of 8
representatives. Another issue was the method of nominating those
representatives. Council's direction was that the neighborhood
associations would make the nominations. Those groups were not
well represented at the earlier meeting. If Council desired, the
method of nomination might be changed to nominations from
neighborhoods rather than from neighborhood groups.
Council Member Cott felt that another meeting was needed in order
to get a feel for the number of representatives. He felt it was
premature to do the nominations at this meeting.
Mayor Pro Tem Biles stated that the prior suggestion generated by
staff was that there be four representatives of the City's
geographic areas, one from each Council district, chosen by
neighborhood associations. He felt that the neighborhood
associations were not well defined and as a result, a group might
not be well defined but still have a formal means of communication
with all neighbors in the area. The mechanism of representation of
four representatives by associations was restricted to single
member districts. He felt this should an open process and each
Council Member should make an appointment from the neighborhoods.
This would increase the representation from four to seven and would
not be an artificial representation.
Council Member Brock felt that there was a need for ordinary
citizens to be represented on the Committee. There was a need to
continue to encourage neighborhood involvement and felt that the
associations needed to be included in the process. She felt that
City of Denton City Council Minutes Agenda No. January 2, 1996 Agenda telot01
Page 13
Dale
the neighborhood associations should make the recommendations for
suggested appointees.
Mayor Pro Tem Hiles rAnted out that there was a number of
geographical areas w%are there were no formal neighborhood
organizations. He suggested that the single member Council Members
appointment someone in their district and the at-large Council
Members chose from the entire city which would allow for formal and
informal organizations to have representation.
Miller motioned, Biles seconded to change the representation from
four citizens to seven. The appointment would be made in early
February which would give the Council an opportunity to visit with
the upcoming neighborhood meeting in late January. The Council
would receive input from the neighborhood associations as to
citizens who might like to serve on this committee. Each Council
Member would nominate one person from citizens in the community
with the understanding of trying to have representation of citizens
throughout the community who would be identified with neighborhood
issues.
Council Member Cott stated that the sole reason for this
organization to get together was to do the Denton Development Plan
and it had nothing to do with anything other than the Development
Plan. He suggested postponing the issue for several months in
order to better inform individuals of the proposal.
Mayor Castleberry stated that there were only 23 people present at
the meeting for all the neighborhood associations throughout the
City.
Robbins stated that 408 of those present were not there because of
the formal invitation but were there from word-of-mouth or through
the newspaper.
Council Member Miller felt that the neighborhood meeting could
still be held and inform the citizens that the discussion would be
on the Development Guide. That would start the process of letting
the neighborhoods know that they would be involved in the process.
Mayor Pro Tem Biles stated that the majority of the people at that
meeting were there for the wrong reasons. They were not there
knowing the reason was for the process of updating the Denton
Development Guide. Staff needed to make clear, for the next
meeting, that the meeting would be to work on the Denton
Development Guide.
Mayor Castleberry felt that the Council might not be ready to make
appointments in February.
Miller changed his motion to delete the February date. The process
would be that each Council Member would nominate a person who
represented neighborhoods. The makeup of the committee would be

Biles accepted the change to his second.
On roll vote, Miller "aye", Young "aye", Cott "aye", Krueger "aye",
Brock "aye", Biles "aye", and mayor Castleberry "aye". Motion
carried unanimously.
10. The Council held a discussion and gave staff direction
regarding extending hours for the sale of alcohol on premises from
12:00 midnight until 2:00 a.m.
Council Member Cott felt that this was a business strategy for the
City of Denton. He felt that the City needed to provide this
activity for a growing city or be left behind by people with the
dollars. The hours should be extended until 2:00 a.m. for anything
which was permitted by State law.
Mayor Castleberry stated that Council Member Cott had requested
that this item be placed on the agenda to extend on-premise alcohol
consumption from midnight until 2:00 a.m.
Council Member Young felt that this was a business issue and a
safety issue. People left the City of Denton to go to other places
where there were extended hours. He was in favor of extending the
hours and requested an ordinance for Council consideration at the
next meeting. This would also provide extra revenue to the City.
The merchants would set up a system to provide rides for those who
were unable to drive.
Mayor Castleberry asked if on-premise referred to private clubs and
restaurants.
Council Member Young replied correct. He also felt this would help
the entertainment business in Denton. Fie motioned to extend the
hours for on-premise consumption to 2:00 a.m.
Council Member Cott seccnded Council. Member Young's request.
He stated that the ordinance would be for beer, wine and mixed
drinks at any internal location such as a bar, a restaurant, etc.
Council Member Brock stated that based on information given to her
by the City Attorney, she would like to have an ordinance dealing
with off-premise sales also. As shs understood it, the State law
might not allow the City to restrict those hours to places of on-
premise consumption.
City Attorney Prouty stated that it was not known yet as to how the
law was interpreted. In the instance of beer or wine for extended
hours on-premises, there was a relationship between one section of
the Alcoholic Beverage Code which also seemed to indicate that when
i
City of Denton City Council Minutes ° df

Aflends 3t m
Date_ °
beer and wine sales was extended to 2:00 a.m., the off-premise
hours may also be extended. His office was doing more research on
the issue.
Council Member Miller asked if a late hour permit would be required
in order to have an establishment remain open.
City Attorney Prouty stated that there was a second requirement.
Denton was currently a standard hour city in which those premises
which were permitted to serve alcoholic beverages could do so six
days until midnight and on Sunday until 1 a.m. The proposed
ordinance would extend the hours in which seven days a seek any
late hours perm£ttee would be able to sell alcoholic beverages
until 2:00 a.m. The establishment would have to have, in addition
to an extended hours ordinance, a late hours permit. The late
hours permit would be required in the ordinance and the ordinance
would extend the hours and the extended hours would be available to
anyone with a late hours permit.
Council Member Miller stated that if a Council Member voted for the
motion, there would still be an ordinance for Council consideration
with public input.
On roll vote, Miller "aye", Young "aye", Cott "aye", Krueger "aye",
Brock "aye", Biles "aye", and Mayor Castleberry rlaye". Motion
carried unanimously.
Council Member Brock suggested that the Legal Department research
the various issues and return with alternative ordinances for
Council to consider.
11. Vision Update
Council Member Brock stated that a formal vote from Council was
needed soon regarding the City's commitment to the Vision process.
12. Miscellaneous matters from the City Manager.
Rick Svehla, Acting City Manager, did not have any items for
council.
13. There was no official action taken on Closed Meeting Items

Agenda Item 02 was considered.
2. The Council received a report and discussed the various issues
related to the Municipal Court of Record.
Tom Josey, Municipal Court Administrator, stated that the City had
been a Court of Record since 1994. Council established this as a
priority in 1991 as there was a loophole in the Class C Misdemeanor
law which allow an individual to have an automatic appeal which
reduced the City's enforcement power. In the 1993 Legislative
session, local legislation was passed to establish Courts of Record
and Denton's court was approved in 1994. The budget figures for
the first year were over what was projected. Some operational
adjustments were made to allow for smoother court sessions. Those
adjustments included an earlier night court which saved
approximately $1,800 in clerical overtime; a change in the
affidavit session which allowed a police officer to sign an
affidavit for another police officer; a change in the parking fine
rate from $15 to $10; and a warning on traffic tickets which

indicated that failure to appear in Court would eV ect renewal of
a driver's license. He had completed a survey of area Muni?pal
Courts of Record which showed that Denton was very similar in
operations with other Courts of Record. He suggested a change, in
the night arraignments to an earlier time during the day whicis
would allow for a reduction in the amount of prosecutors from 1.5
to 1 and would allow that individual to perform more duties in the
City Attorney's office.
J
been udge Robin Ramsay stated that the prior concerns by council had
taken such as the reduction of the traffic tickets. Improvements had a so fines and been made the
the issuance of warrants.
Council returned to the regular agenda order.
1. The Council received a report, held a discussion and gave
staff direction regarding day laborers.
Mike Jez, Director of Emergency Services, stated that in September
1995 he had asked Officer Cabrales to look at the day laborer
situation in the 900 block of South Locust Street. The
Department's interest in looking at the situation was one of a
police nature. Between January 1993 and September 1995 the
Department had responded to 289 incidents at that location. Most
of those incidents were minor in nature and included standing in
the roadway, soliciting from the roadway, disorderly conduct,
public intoxication, etc. At that same time the Department
received three new police officers under the Federal grant to serve
as area coordinators and a part of the COPS program was to look at
police incidents which were repetitive in nature to try to
alleviate the problem and reduce the number of calls at a location.
Officer Cabrales identified the persons involved in the situation,
met and talked with the day laborers and determined if there were
any alternatives which might be done to reduce or eliminate the
calls to that location. Based on that report, and with a declining
call load at the location, it was determined that to do anything at
an alternate site would cost a minimum of $32,000, not including
annual maintenance costs. It was his recommendation, at this point
in time, to not take any action at this point in time. The Police
Department would continue to monitor the location and if the call
load increased in the future, the position could be reassessed.
Council Member Young stated that Jez's recommendation was to do
nothing and have the situation remain the same. He felt that the
numbers were down due to the weather conditions. He asked Jez what
he should say to the area businesses which were being effected by
the day laborers in the area.
Jez replied that those businesses in the area should continue to
call in complaints. He felt that the Department had done an
educational job in communicating with the day laborers to let them
know what kind of activity was legal and illegal in the area and
what was acceptable behavior. They also encouraged the individuals
City of Denton City Council Minutes Agenda No. 9& in
January 9, 1996 Agenda to
Page 3 Date
X-Z-VI-0-
hiring the day laborers to be more responsible in terms of their
behavior there. Part of the problem was the traffic congestion
when the vehicles stopped in traffic to hire the day laborers. The
Department would continue to police the area as needed.
Council Member Young felt that there was a need to do something and
perhaps create a labor exchange sometime in the future. It was not
feasible to provide an alternate location at this point in time and
there was no guarantee that the men would use the new site. The
businesses in the area were effected by the men standing in the
area for day jobs and he did not feel it was appropriate to tell
them to just continue to call the Police Department.
Jez replied that the Department would continue to work with any
kind of private group on alternatives and strategies. The
Department would not abandon the problem.
Council Member Young stated that the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce
had received a petition from the day laborers indicating that they
would participate on whatever site the City would acquire. He
would like the Department to work with the Hispanic Chamber of
Commerce to develop ideas regarding the day laborers.
Mayor Pro Tem Biles felt that the expenditure of City funds to
develop a site created an additional set of problems such as
liability for the structure or activities on the site. If the City
established a Labor Exchange by obtaining and developing property,
it indicated to the laborers that the City was in the business of
running an employment agency. He felt that this was not the
proper function of the City. He felt that those who had a vested
interested in the laborers needed to take a lead. The Hispanic
Chamber of Commerce had a petition signed by the day laborers that
they would cooperate in whatever lead the City took. The City did
not need to be in the business of operating a Labor Exchange. This
was one of those functions where leaders in the community should
take charge of the issue.
Council Member Cott stated that private industry should take care
of itself except for normal policing operations. This was a
private initiative.
Council Member Brock asked if officer Cabrales worked this area as
part of his regular assignment.
Jez replied that Officer Cabrales was the East Side Coordinator and
was assigned that project due to his bilingual ability.
The remaining Work Session items were considered later in the
meeting.
The Council convened into a special called Meeting on Tuesday,
January 9, 1996 at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers.

1. The Council consider adoption of an ordinance calling for a
CIP bond election on February 24, 1996.
Rick Svehla, Acting City Manager, stated that Council had had
several meetings regarding the proposal for the CIP. This
ordinance mirrored what the Blue Ribbon Committee had presented to
council.
Margaret Smith, Co-Chair of the Blue Ribbon committee, recommended
adoption of the ordinance. The Committee had voted unanimously in
favor of the ordinance and was ready to start gathering support in
the community.
The following ordinance was considered:
NO. 96-010
AN ORDINANCE CALLING A BOND ELECTION FOR FEBRUARY 24, 1996;

3. Miscellaneous matters from the City Manager.
Council returned to the Work Session items.
3. The Council received a report and held a discussion regarding
the status of the UNT "Gopher" project and the City of Denton "Web"
page.
Gary Collins, Director of Information Services, stated that a year
ago the City entered into an agreement with the University of North
Texas to place minutes and agendas of the Planning and Zoning
Commission, the Public Utilities Board and City Council on the
internet system. Both of the individuals the City work with on
this project had since changed jobs. During the pilot project, the
input of information to the internet system was taking from 30-60
minutes for agendas and longer for minutes. There was also
difficulty gaining access to the system as only one modem was
available for inquiries and to update items. During the last year
some items were not put on the system in a timely manner. In
August, the City was approached by Internet Global. The City
contracted with them for a six month period to put up a home page
on their world-wide web. This program had more graphics rather
than straight text.
Council Member Brock asked if an unlimited amount of information
could be put on the home page for the price of the service.
Collins replied that there was a $100 one time charge to establish
a page and a $15 monthly charge for storage of the page on the
system.
Council Member Brock asked what the procedure would be if a
department wanted to expand current information on the page.
Collins stated that departments would have to individually budget
for the cost of the service. He wanted to make sure that the pages
were consistent for all information about Denton.
Council Member Brock asked about the problems with putting the
agendas on the gopher system. Was it possible to have the agendas
placed automatically on the system as they were typed.
Collins stated that the agendas had to be taken out of the Word
Perfect system and converted to a special file and then loaded to
the gopher system. At times there were problems getting on the
system due to limited access.
Council Member Brock felt it would be helpful to the citizens to
find agendas and minutes of the City's Boards and Commissions as
well as the City Council on the Internet or web.

his department would continue that f nd program should

concerning Denton.
Acting City Manager Svehla stated that staff would look at all the
issues and return to Council with costs for agendas, etc.
4. Council held a discussion regarding City Council conferences
and seminars and gave staff direction.
Mayor Castleberry stated that he had asked that this item be placed
on the agenda. He had expressed concern to other Council Members
about the cost of conferences, etc. He asked Council if there was
any interest in proposing an ordinance whereby the conferences that
Council Members and staff normally attended such as the National
League of Cities, Texas Municipal League plus the TML district
meetings, would be open to Council Members.
Council Member Young motioned to prepare an ordinance on this
issue.
Mayor Castleberry stated that he would like to include in the
ordinance that any additional seminars would be approved by the
City Council.
Motion died for lack of a second.
Mayor Castleberry stated that the purpose of his proposal was to
allow for the Council to approve trips outside the normal seminars
which would help control costs.
5. The Council received a report, held a discussion and gave
staff direction regarding the Vision Project.
Joseph Portugal, Assistant to the city Manager, stated that
information had been provided to Council pertaining to the Vision
Project. The Strategy Boards, which were sent to Council,
represented what the Vision Project Cabinet approved at their
December 12th meeting. Each of the seven sponsors represented on
the Cabinet were asked to present this information to their
respective organizations for endorsement. Council would be asked to
approve the projects with an upcoming resolution. Those projects
which involved the City with associated staff time and costs had
been identified.
Council Member Cott felt that the project was wonderful. He felt
that it might be possible to stretch the financing on any given
project so that the overall project interest cost would be much
less. He recommended, where possible, to work out of cash
generated by the project and try to finance the pieces that way.
L

Portugal stated that he did not know if the vision Project would
generate any revenue. By the CIP action, the CIP would have
certain allocations for infrastructure, economic development, etc.
and those dollars were a project of the CIP. If there were
opportunities to shift dollars on given projects, so long as it was
in line with what the voters were told, it would not be a problem.
Acting City Manager Svehla stated that there were projects,
particularly in the CIP, where there were matching dollars and the
CIP Committee would promote those projects using that mechanism.
Miller motioned, Young seconded to prepare a resolution indicating
Council support and endorsement of the project on roll vote,
Miller "aye", Young "aye", Cott "aye", Krueger "aye", Brock "aye",
Biles "aye", and Mayor Castleberry "aye". Motion carried
unanimously.
6. The Council received a report, held a discussion, and gave
staff direction concerning a tentative time schedule for the City
Manager selection.
Tom Klinck, Director of Human Resources, stated that a tentative
time schedule had been developed for the recruitment of a new City
Manager. The interviews with City Council and other key staff
members had been completed and the consulting firm was in the
process of gathering data to use to sell Denton to prospective
candidates. on January 9th a marketing letter and draft brochure
was created for Council consideration. The job would close on
February 16th which would provide for a 30 day time period to
respond. The list of semi-finalist candidates would be presented
to Council on February 27th and would then be narrowed to 15-20
individuals. Council would select the finalists on March 19th and
finalize a final interview process and schedule. on March 20th a
letter inviting an interview would be mailed with a comprehensive
packet of information. The final interview process would be held
from March 27-29. There were two options to consider for final
candidate interviews. one option was to have an all day session
with the final candidates meeting with a full council panel
interview. That evening the Council would hold deliberations to
select the top 1-2 individuals. The second option would have
morning individual candidate interviews with each council Member
and a panel interview with the entire Council in the afternoon.
Staff was requesting direction on the schedule dates and time lines
and feedback on the draft brochure.
Council Member Krueger stated that he preferred the interview
process as a group as opposed to individual interviews.
Council Member Young expressed a concern about the dates being so
close to the council election and wanted to make sure the process
was completed before the Mayor's term ended.
Council Member Miller stated that he preferred the option with a
one-on-one interview with the candidates.

3. Citizen Reports
A. The Council received a citizen report from Willie
Hudspeth regarding meetiri times for the City's Boards and
Commissions.
Mr. Hudspeth stated that the original purpose of his report was to
talk about the times the City's boards and commissions met. He
suggested that different times be considered so that others could
be a part of the boards and commissions. He had two items which he
wished to address on the agenda and was told that he had to do both
presentations in a five minute time limit. He questioned if he was
the only one with such a restriction or if other citizens also had
such a restriction. He was told that the Council Agenda Committee
made the decision on the agenda and he felt that this was a group
of individuals who used their power to determine who would speak
and what they would speak on. He questioned if others, who had
something to say which the Agenda Committee might not like, would
also have such a restriction. He would be attending each Council
meeting until he completed what it was he wanted to say. He felt
it was not right for him not to be able to speak. Originally he
wanted to ask the Council to look at meeting times of the City's
boards and commissions so that others could participate. Of the
City's 22 board and commissions, six met at an unknown time; eight
met from 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.; seven met from 5:00 - 5:30 and one
after 6:00 p.m.
Mayor Castleberry stated that the five minute limit was a Council
policy and was not a policy of the Agenda Committee. The Council
was charged with the responsibility to follow policy and was in no
way a manner to prevent anyone from speaking.
Hudspeth asked if it was the rule that an individual received five
minutes per item.
Mayor Castleberry stated that an individual could speak on any
number of items within that five minute time frame.
Hudspeth asked if the rule was that an individual received five
minutes per item on the agenda or did the rule indicate that an
individual had five minutes to talk about anything.

Mayor Castleberry stated that an individual had five minutes to
talk about the items requested on the agenda.
Hudspeth stated that there was no rule indicating that an
individual had five minutes for the agenda item requested.
Herb Prouty, City Attorney, stated that the rule was from an
ordinance establishing the Councilfs rules and procedures. Section
6.5 of those rules and procedures indicated that speakers before
the Council were requested to limit their remarks to five minutes
or less except for citizens speaking to a non-public hearing agenda
item for which presentations would be three minutes or less.
Council Member Cott requested a review of the procedure for citizen
reports.
Council Member Brock stated that there were several people who
appeared regularly during Citizen Reports. one citizen had many
requests and items which were presented within the time limit. The
Council was not trying to limit citizen participation and had even
changed procedures to allow for more citizen participation.
B. The Council received a citizen report from Bill Mosley
regarding the day laborer situation at the 900 block of South
Locust.
Mr. Mosley was not present at the meeting.
4. Public Hearings
A. The Council held a public hearing with regard to the
proposed annexation of a 34.78 acre tract located in the clear zone
south of the existing runway in the vicinity of the Denton
Municipal Airport. (A-71) (The Planning aad Zoning Commission was
scheduled to consider this item and make a recommendation on
January 24, 1996.)
Harry Persuad, Senior Planner, stated that this was a second of a
series of public hearings scheduled for the annexation of this
property. The property was owned entirely by the City of Denton
and the purpose of the annexation was to bring the area within the
city limits.
The Mayor opened the public hearing.
No one spoke during the public hearing.
The Mayor closed the public hearing.
B. The Council held a public hearing with regard to the

Road and north of Blagg Road. (A-69) (The Planning and zoning
commission recommended approval, 6-0.)
Harry Persuad, Senior Planner, stated that this was the second of
a series of public hearings. During the first public hearing,
staff pointed out that the City would not be providing water and
wastewater services to this site. The service plan provided for
water and wastewater services in compliance with the existing
policy of city. That policy indicated that the land owner or
developer would provide those lines to those sites. If water and
wastewater were included in the services provided by the City,
$110,000 worth of costs would have to be added.
The Mayor opened the public hearing.
No one spoke during the public hearing.
The Mayor closed the public hearing.
Council Member Krueger stated that there was no opposition by the
landowners in this area for this annexation.
Persuad replied correct. There were five single family homes which
were leased properties. The owner wrote a letter to the Planning
Department early in the process indicating that she would be in
opposition as the annexation as it would cost her large sums of
money to receive water and wastewater services. He had spoken to
the other property owners who indicated that they did not have a
problem with the annexation. Many of the residents were putting
their garbage on the City side of the street and were receiving
services. The residents also called the Police Department and
received services. one land owner, indicated opposition, but did
not appear at any of the public hearings.
Council Member Young asked where the residents received water.
Persuad replied that they had water wells.
Council Member Young asked if these residents could be added to the
infill policy list. He questioned if State law indicated that the
City had to provide water and wastewater within four years of
annexation.
Persuad replied that the State law indicated that a City had to
provide services comparable to other areas in the city limits with
similar population density and land use. If there were other city
areas where there were houses just like these on a tract of land
and they were not being provided with water and wastewater
services, that was a comparable level of service.
Council Member Young indicated that he would like to have a study
done on the impact the landfill might have on those wells. He did

not like the current annexation policy.
Acting City Manager Svehla stated that staff was working on a joint
meeting with the Public Utilities Board to have a discussion on the
infill and extension policy. This property was approximately three
miles from the city landfill with two creek basins between them and
felt there would be no impact from the landfill.
C. The Council held a public hearing with regard to the
proposed annexation of a 21.62 acre tract described as the Estates
of Forrestridge Section II. (A-70) (The Planning and Zoning
commission was scheduled to consider this item and make a
recommendation on January 24, 1996.)
Harry Persuad, Senior Planner, stated that the petitioners, Lodge
Construction Company, had requested annexation and zoning on the
property. This was the second public hearing on this property.

7. ordinances
A. The Council considered adoption of an ordinance extending
the hours for sale and consumption of mixed drinks, beer and wine,
pursuant to Sections 105.03, 105.04, 105.05, and 105.06 of the
Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code.
City Attorney Prouty stated that this ordinance would move the City
from a standard hours area which meant that those entities holding
a late hour permit could serve mixed drinks, beer, and wine six
days a week until 2:00 a.m. every day. Council wanted to make sure
that this ordinance would only extend hours for on-premise
consumption and would not be approving the extended hours for off-
premise sale and consumption. The ordinance extended the hours
until 2:00 a.m. of any day for the sale of alcoholic beverages to
those entities holding a late hours permit.
Bob Ingram stated that he was in favor of the 2:00 a.m. closing for
the sake of children. tie had two sons who went to North Texas and
he observed that their social activities tended to gravitate to
Dallas/Ft. Worth because of a late start. They did not want to go
to a place which closed at midnight. He always worried when his
sons drove to Dallas/Ft. Worth and felt that the extended hours
would provide a safer situation.
Rick Reid stated that he owned two establishments in Denton. He
detailed the process for receiving a beer/wine permit. This
industry was different from any other type of permit for business.
Mayor Pro Tem Biles asked if the establishments on Avenue A and Fry
Street had taken any steps towards addressing this issue in
anticipation of backlash if extended hours took place.
Reid replied that the area had changed over the years. In his
establishments all bartenders and personnel were TABC certified.
City of Denton City Council Minutes

Page 7 Apend to He had always had a good rapport with the Police Department.
Steven Boedeker stated that he was in support for the extended
hours in Denton. Many of his concerns were for safety because of
the trends developed by the students. The students were driving to
Dallas/Ft. Worth because they had a couple of extra hours to enjoy
themselves. He was in favor of keeping his friends and their money
in Denton.
Sandra Lewis indicated that she was President of the Denton County
Mothers Against Drunk Driving. MADD did not take a position on
the specific hours which bars should close in any city. She did
not want the Council to think this was an endorsement because MADD
had not expressed opposition to the closing hours. MADD suppcrted
uniform closing hours to prevent bar hopping. This was a safety
issue with MADD. The bar owners had a financial stake in the
council's decision but money was not the only issue.
Sherard Quina stated that he had been in the entertainment business
for 14 years. He asked the Council to support the change for a
chance for economic growth for the entertainment industry in
Denton. The new race track would bring tourists to Denton.
Tourists who would be seeking entertainment and lodging in Denton.
There were over 1000 people who worked second shifts in factories
who wanted to go somewhere for entertainment. He was asking for
equal footing with surrounding cities in the North Texas area.
Frenchy Rheault stated that tie was opposed to changing the hours.
In the ten years he had been in Denton he had never read of an
accident involving an individual coming back from Dallas involving
alcohol.
Charles Brown stated that he supported the extension of hours as
late shift citizens in Denton were being penalized. He urged the
Council to make a decision this evening and not put a decision off
to another meeting. The extension could be tried for one year to
see what would happen.
Mark Hannah stated that the City of Denton should not restrict any
business for what hours they would be in business.
Gary Francis stated that he was opposed to the extension of hours.
The Country was decaying because of a cancer called drug and
alcohol abuse. The community had a responsibility to its young
people and to make a decision to allow for more hours of exposure
to abuse alcohol was an irresponsible act. This was a decision
based on economics, this was not a decision based on character and
conviction. Thirty-five percent of all students surveyed indicated
that they had driven under the influence of alcohol.

Dan Leander stated that he liked a free market but felt that
certain restrictions had to be imposed. He was involved in a head-
on collision with a drunk driver on I-35 in which the driver never
drank before. He did not like the restriction of free trade and
appreciated the financial situation the extension would afford.
But he asked the Council to remember the body count - 45,000 per
year.
Steven Condall stated that how the Council thought and acted set
the tone and atmosphere in the City. He was opposed to the
adoption of the ordinance as the Council had set the tone that
monetary gain for some businesses and themselves in the City was
more important than the safety and well-being of its citizens.
There was not a sense from the Council that each had studied what
negative impact this might have on the city in the future. Chief
Jez had outlined a few of the negative situations. He urged
Council to rethink its position and to proceed cautiously.
Theresa Grant stated no one had spoken about underage drinking.
She was the school nurse at Ryan High School and saw the effects of
underage drinking on a daily basis. Extending the hours would not
help the problem of underage drinking.
Chris Bryan stated that he owned a new business on Fry Street. He
did not see any harm to this ordinance. The business owners in the
area would be supporting "call a cab". He felt it would be
detrimental to allow Denton citizens to drive to Dallas and come
home intoxicated. Most of these people were within walking
distance of the establishments.
Pat Reynolds stated that he worked for Ben E. Keith Beers and was
in favor of extending hours. He felt that it would be good for
Denton, good for business people and good for business growth. It
would put Denton on an equal footing with other cities in the North
Central Texas area. Extended hours would allow clubs to book
higher quality acts for the entertainment business. This was also
a safety issue. Ben E. Keith was committed to be good corporate
citizen and do everything to ensure responsible sales of alcohol in
Denton. He asked the Council to vote to extend hours to provide an
even playing field in the North Texas area.
Troy LaGrone stated that his children went to Dallas for
entertainment. When he moved to Denton it was a small city and had
since grown to a diverse city with many improvements. He felt
there was a need to have the opportunity to have entertainment at
home and keep those dollars in Denton. This was also a safety
factor. Denton competed for business and every surrounding city
competed for what Denton had.
Roy Culverson wanted to keep the student body here in Denton and
not traveling on the highway.

Mayor Castleberry stated that Richard Hayes had completed a Speaker
Card expressing support of extended hours as it was an important
economic development issue.
Council Member Cott read a list of cities with colleges and
universities which had extended hours. He felt this was a major
principle of business. The City competed with others for college
students and needed to have what everyone else had. This could
help build on the entertainment industry. This was not introducing
alcohol to the City of Denton. This was an attempt to make this a
better part of the base of Denton for the future.
Council Member Brock felt that the issue was very difficult as
there were pluses and minuses on both sides of the question. She
felt that cities should not regulate legal businesses unless there
were serious repercussions for the community. The Council had
received much information from Chief Jez about alcohol related
activities. There were no figures to show that that would be
related to late opening. She was interested in keeping drinkers
off the highways. She wanted to keep business in Denton if it
would not damage the community or result in increased costs. She
felt the Council would be justified in trying extended hours for a
period of time such as a year and then look at the results.
Mayor Pro Tem. Biles stated that this ordinance had a great
potential to polarize a number of individuals. Chief Jez, gave
reliable numbers. However, Chief Jez could not indicate the impact
of consuming alcohol and operating a motor vehicle with a higher
speed limit on the interstate. The City did not receive a tax
revenue for this extension. There would be economic development
with the extension of hours and was an issue of personal
responsibility. Businesses who held the permits could lose their
licenses and go to jail for allowing underage drinking. Safety was
the number one issue and the higher speed limit on I-35 was a great
problem. He would like to see dollars spent within the City
limits. The ordinance could be changed if it turned out to be a
mistake.
The following ordinance was considered:
NO. 96-014

Council Member Young stated that he would vote for the ordinance as
it was a safety issue and a business issue.
Council Member Miller stated that one issue was the problem of
drinking. The issue was not whether to have drinking, the issue
was what might happen when the hours were extended. Another
concern was individuals being drunk in a bar. Comments had been
made regarding the responsibility of the bar owners and operators
in the City to not allow individuals to drink and drive. If
approved, this would have some effect on economic development but
would not be a net gain. He was concerned about individuals
driving to area cities for entertainment. He felt it would be
responsible to give the extended hours a try and hoped it would not
be a negative factor. The Council could look at the issue after
one year to see the effects of the passage.
Council Member Cott felt that the one year time limit would be
difficult for certain types of financing for businesses. He
recommended to extend the ordinance for more than a year. Licenses
were already paid for this year and the businesses would not get
full use of them. He recommended an unlimited contract.
Council Member Brock stated that Mayor Pro Tem Biles made it very
clear that his motion would not be a sunset clause. His addition
would require a review in looking at the evidence which accumulated
over that one year time.
Council Member Krueger asked if the intention was to have an annual
review year after year.
Mayor Pro Tem Biles stated no that it would be only a one year
review. The wording of his motion was that an additional section
would be added directing staff to present to Council, one year from
the effective date of the ordinance, the information to consider
this ordinance. This would be one review twelve months from the
effective date of the ordinance.
Council Member Krueger felt it would be necessary to study the
reports and figures so that they were not skewed in any manner.
Council was safety conscious and if officers were needed it would
not be a major problem. There were some assumptions in the
projections which may or not come to pass.
Council Member Young felt that there was a need to establish an
effective date with the motion.
Council Member Cott stated that it would be easier for a bank to
look at a balance sheet if it knew this would be automatically
renewed. He suggested a review of the ordinance and cancel it a
certain number of days before the year was over.

approval of the addendum would increase the existing contract with
the Denton Affordable Housing Corporation. The existing contract
provided them with $75,000 in 1994 CDBG funds. The addendum added
an additional $75,000 which was the 1995 allocation. The funding

the highest bidder even if the bid tendered is less than the market
value of the property specified in the judgement of foreclosure or
the total amount of the judgement against the property, and to
execute any quitclaim deeds necessary to convey the property upon
sale.
Jon Fortune, Chief Finance Officer, stated that in September of
1995 the City's delinquent tax collection firm sought a judgement
for delinquent taxes dating back to 1986 on this piece of property.
Judgement was granted and the property was offered for sale by the
Sheriff for the amount of delinquent taxes, accrued penalty and
interest and any legal fees assessed. There was no sufficient bid
and the property was stricken to the City of Denton. This
resolution allowed the City to solicit sealed bids to offer the
property for sale for less than the taxes due in order to get the

force would consist of 18 members, 14 Council appointees and 4 city
employees. The objectives of the task force would be to study
selected diversity issues and provide solutions and
recommendations; provide suitable recommendations that could be
addressed through the organizational structure; coordinate the task
force with the Cityfs Workforce Diversity Committee; and complete
Phase I within 6-9 months. It was anticipated that there would be
an outside facilitator who would provide diversity awareness
training; assist with strategic planning; and assist with monthly
meetings to study specific issues and develop solutions and
recommendations to provide periodic reports to the City Council.
The estimated cost for the outside facilitator would be less than
$10,0000.
The following resolution was considered:
NO. R96-004
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DENTON ESTABLISHING A DIVERSITY
TASK FORCE; AUTHORIZING THE EXPENDITURE OF FUNDS TO SECURE THE
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES OF A FACILITATOR; AND PROVIDING AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
Young motioned, Brock seconded to approve the resolution.
Frenchy Rheault stated he was representing wife who was Ms.
Wheelchair of Texas. He asked the Council to remember that
diversity included people with disabilities and was not just a
racial diversity issue.

ABSENT: None
1. The Council received a report, held a discussion, and provided
direction regarding the Economic Development Transition Committee
recommendations.
Harry Hall, Chair-Economic Development Transition Committee, stated
that the Committee had presented an initial set of recommendations
to the Council and would be presenting them to the Chamber of
Commerce Board of Directors in the near future. As suggested, they
had employed the services of a professional consulting firm
specializing in economic development practices, trends and issues.
The set of recommendations included (1) the City Council consider
the adoption of a charter to create an economic development
corporation funded by a local sales tax collection as authorized in
Section 4A, Article 5190.6 of the Revised Civil Statutes of Texas.
That recommendation would be consistent with the findings of the
Fantus and the Vision for Denton Work Action Group. The focus
needed to be to create and maintain jobs and job opportunities es
well as expand and diversify the local tax base. Their research
over the past few months indicated that a 4A sales tax was the best
option to consider because of its proven flexibility over and above

Page 2 Date
typical marketing programs. If approved as recommended, the 4A
corporation could assist private developers; purchase and sell
property and buildings; assist with employee relocation; provide
training; offer financial incentives; and extend infrastructure
such as water and sewer lines and road access to appropriate
commercial/industrial areas. The Committee specifically
recommended the 4A corporation versus 4B because it was very
focused on actual helping expand the tax base and on creating jobs.
General community projects could be adequately funded through the
Capital Improvement Programs. Denton could not compete with other
communities with unlimited resources to offer through their sales
tax. Denton was losing out and falling further behind on economic
development. (2) The Council should appoint a five person Board of
Directors to expedite adoption of by-laws, proposed budgets,
marketing and general policies. (3) Call an election for the
purpose of increasing the local sales tax rate by h of 1%. These
funds would be dedicated to the administration of a 4A Economic
Development Corporation. The Committee knew that there were many
other corresponding issues which needed to be addressed and they
would help the Council if so desired.
Cott motioned, Young seconded to create an ordinance to create an
economic development corporation and to authorize a sales tax
election to fund the activi'~ies of the economic development
corporation.
Council Member Miller stated that this item was listed as a
discussion item.
Mayor Pro Tem Biles felt that Council Member Cott's motion was an
improper motion as the Council was in a work session. Council
could not take action on a motion to establish or create those
entities but could direct staff to prepare information.
Council Member Krueger stated that the agenda indicated "provide
direction" regarding economic development and that direction would
be whatever the council decided to provide. He did not have a
problem with creating the corpora ion and did not have a problem
with proceeding. He felt the Council might be moving too fast
towards calling an election and might need to slow down regarding
an election for a ~ cent sales tax. It would take more than 8
months to prepare for that matter.
Council Member Young stated that Council Member Cott gave staff
direction to recommend the economic development corporation and the
City call and conduct an election on August 30, 1996 which was a
uniform election date. The Council had been working on this for
two years. Denton was behind other communities which had already
passed such an issue.
Agenda No.

Mayor Castleberry suggested placing this item on the agenda for the
second week in February for further discussion. He felt Council
was moving too fast on the issue.
Council Member Brock stated that she was concerned about the stages
for development and at what point there would be public hearings on
the matter. Anything of this magnitude deserved public input as it
was asking citizens to vote for a new tax.
Mayor Pro Tem Biles felt that it was critical to move forward to be
competitive. Before there was an election, the Council needed to
carefully consider the issue. If Council Member Cott's motion was
to direct staff to immediately prepare an ordinance to form the
corporation and to establish a date for an election, then he would
have to vote against the motion. His alternative motion would be
to direct the city Attorney, the Acting City Manager and the
Executive Director for Finance to return in two weeks at 3 work
session to fully explore the issue. He felt there ::ould be a
greater chance to succeed if the public participated in the
process.
Mayor Castleberry asked if Council Member Cott would like to change
his motion.
Council Member Cott stated no.
Council Member Miller asked if the Transition Committee was
recommending that the corporation board be formed at this time or
wait until after the proposed election.
Hall stated that it was the recommendation to form the 4A
corporation at this time.
Council Member Miller asked how the Transition Committee felt about
the corporation going into the ownership and buying of land for an
industrial park versus leveraging the private sector to work in
partnership with the corporation.
Hall felt that it was the intent to have the private investors art.
However, if the private sector did not act, the economic
development sales tax should come into play.
Council Member Miller asked how work force issues would be
considered with the use of the economic development funds.
Bill Shelton stated that the emphasis of the committee was more on
organization rather than programming at this point in time.
Council Member Krueger asked that the motion be repeated.

Council Member Cott stated that his motion was to immediately
prepare an ordinance creating a charter for an economic development
corporation and the work necessary for a sales tax election to fund
the activities of the economic development corporation.
Council Member Krueger stated that when Council directed staff to
prepare an ordinance, that did not create an avenue for public
hearings. He did not believe two weeks would make a difference.
He was ready to begin the process.
Council Member Young stated that Denton citizens were tired of
having to drive to Dallas/Ft. Worth for a decent job.
Mayor Pro Tem Biles stated that he had not heard any discussion
about the reason why or why not to discuss a 4B corporation. He
had not heard any discussion, in work session format, as to what
was the validity for particular uses and had not heard any
justification as to why Council needed to start so soon. He could
not support the motion as he was not sure what the Council was
directing staff to do. He felt Council needed to have a work
session to discuss the issues.
Mayor Castleberry stated that he was against the motion but was not
against economic development. He felt the Council would be moving
ahead too fast on the issue.
Council Member Brock stated that she had a list of questions
regarding the issue and wanted time to review the issue carefully.
Anything of this magnitude deserved a thorough examination. it
would bad public relations if done in haste.
Council Member Miller stated that he was opposed to the motion on
the basis of the target date of August 10, 1996. He felt there was
a need for a better discussion and understanding of the issue.
This was to not delay the issue but felt that a work session on the
issue was needed for more discussion.
Council Member Cott asked what was the first possible election
date.
Shelton replied May 6th.
Council Member Cott asked for the time frame for the election.
Shelton replied the recommendation was for a ten week campaign.
Mayor Castleberry stated that if this were done in a work session
the Committee would be available for questions.
Council Member Krueger expressed a concern regarding the process.
The Committee was here and the meeting was posted as a work

session. Why wait two weeks to ask questions as the Committee was
here now and prepared to answer any questions the Council had.
Citizen input would happen with the consideration of an ordinance.
Council Member Miller stated that the item was opened with a motion
and not with discussion. There was a motion on the floor and the
prior discussion was about the motion. The entire discussion had
been regarding the motion and not about the issues.
Council Member Krueger stated that as he understood parliamentary
procedure, an item was not discussed until a motion was made and
then seconded. He felt that the motion and second was in order but
also felt that a work session was a time to discuss an item.
Council Member Young stated that this was an issue during his
election and the Council needed to proceed with the issue. The
Council was following the voters instructions which were to create
the industrial parks so that Denton would be on equal footing with
other cities.
Council Member Cott withdrew his mr~cion.
Biles motioned, Brock seconded to direct the Acting City Manager,
the City Attorney, and the E%ecutive Director for Finance to
prepare for council for consideration at a work session two weeks
from this evening, information on the 4A recommendations of the
Economic Development Transition Committee. Likewise information
regarding the contrast and comparison with the 4B sales tax and a
4B corporation and the uses to which each could be put to. These
three individuals would also prepare for Council a proposed agenda
for public hearings to be conducted with a review of a time line in
preparation for the August 10th date but also apprise Council of
the other available election dates, both before and after August
10th. A comparison would be made between the recommendation of the
Economic Development Transition Committee and the Vision Work Group
recommendations that the City had been sponsor of along with the
chamber and other entities in the City so that council would have
an understanding of the full scope of the issue of economic
development in the context of the recommendations received this
evening and of the 4A and of the 4B and also hotr Council could
proceed towards an orderly approach of the election date.
Council Member Cott stated that such a motion was why industry in
this community did not trust City government. At motion like that
excluded them completely and indicated that there was no
understanding of what was going on.
On roll vote, Miller "aye", Young "aye", Cott "nay", Krueger "aye",
Brock "aye", Biles "aye", and Mayor Castleberry "aye". Motion
carried with a 6-1 vote.
City of Dentc.i City Council Minutes Agenda Mxfs__~
January 23, 1996 Agenda ItPage 6 Council Member Brock asked if Council could continue to ask
questions at this point in time.
City Attorney Prouty stated that there would be no problem to
continue to ask questions.
Carl Anderson stated that the Transition Committee was given a
charge and they did what they thought was the best of their
ability. The Committee was not trying to push the issue but they
did feel it was critical to move as surrounding communities were
already passing this issue and Denton not able to compete with
economic development.
Mayor Pro Tem Biles left meeting.
Council Member Brock stated that she had many questions and wanted
to understand all of the issues before proceeding. She felt that
the public would be concerned about accountability. This proposal
would take money from the public and turn it over to an economic
development corporation. she questioned who would be accountable
to the public on the way the money would be spent. There were
safeguards in place such as the Council appointed the Board, the
public could petition for an election to disband the Corporation if
it not like what the Board was doing. The Board served at the will
of the Council and the public could indirectly control the Board.
The Council could itself call an election to disband the Board.
She asked what were other accountability issues and how did an
4 economic development corporation gain the trust of the public.
Ed Smith stated that it was a great concern of the Committee to
have a system which would be best for the taxpayers. The City
Manager, City Attorney and Finance Director were in charge of all
funds collected by the economic development sales tax. Those funds
could not be spent without direction and an annual budget. The
charge for the Committee was to recommend whether to have an
economic development corporation. The Committee also recommended
that the Council appoint the members of the Corporation for the
purpose of by-laws and structure. At this point in time, the
Committee did not have any authority to implement anything.
Council Member Brock asked if the economic development corporation
wanted to buy property and do buildings, would that have to go to
Council for approval.
Smith replied yes as the Corporation would not want to compete with
the private sector.
Mayor Pro Tem Biles returned to the meeting.
Smith continued that the economic development corporation wanted to
make recommendations as to what was good for the City. The

Committee was only asking for additional direction to go on to the
next step to create the by-laws and structure of the corporation.
Council Member Brock wanted to be sure the economic development
corporation had a level playing field and would not get into the
development business.
Smith replied that that would not be as the Council would have to
approve the projects. The committee wanted a structure which would
always handle the funds appropriately. The Committee needed
direction and could not go any further without direction. If there
was not going to be an economic development corporation, then the
Committee needed to stop wasting time looking at other cities, The
Committee's recommendation was to form an economic
corporation and to fund the corporation with a : cent development
The Committee had not made any other recommendations than those
two,
Council Member Brock asked if this would be part of what would be
presented to the voters.
Smith replied correct. With a 4A corporation, the money could not
be used for anything else than for jobs and economic development
for the citizens of Denton. The 4B corporation had areas of
discretion where the money could go.
Council Member Krueger understood that the Committee spent many
hours deliberating on whether to recommend a 4A or 4B corporation.
The Committee's recommendation, was to only consider a 4A
corporation.
Hall replied correct.
Council Member Krueger questioned why the Council would waste time
directing staff to consider looking at a 4B corporation when the
Council appointed a Committee to make recommendations to the
Council. Why would the Council waste time looking into an issue
the Committee had already considered.
Council Member Brock felt it was necessary for the Council to
examine the issue just as it did with other boards or task forces.
She did not know of any other group the Council automatically
accepted what they did without even asking any questions.
Council Member Krueger stated that the Council basically rubber
stamped what the CIP Committee presented. They called the date of
the election and council agreed. This field of professionals were
presenting their recommendations and the Council was not agreeing
with them.

Council Member Miller agreed with Council Member Krueger on this
aspect. He did not feel it was a good idea to do another study on
4A and 4B. If the Council wanted to consider the 4A/4B issue, the
Council needed to hear what the Committee felt rather than have
another independent study.
Council Member Young stated that this was a business issue and
could have taken care of at this meeting. It was his opinion that
everything had already been discussed because of the voter's
instructions.
Richard Hayes stated a question had been asked about the dates of
an electicr. There were only three dates which were allowed during
this presidential election year - January 20th, May 4th, and August
10th. In regards to the question on checks and balances, the
Council made the appointments to the Board of Directors, the budget
had to be approved by the Council and the expenditures cleared
through the City Council and all City Council members would be ex-
officio members to the Board of Directors. A 4A corporation was
strictly economic development. A 4B corporation was economic
development plus other areas such as sports facilities, parks, and
other types of public amenities. With the very excellent CIP
process of the City, it was not necessary to address public
improvement needs.
Council Member Brock stated that some cities had recently passed a
special sales tax to be applied to police force. She asked if that
came under 4B or was that something else.
Hayes replied that it was under a separate piece of legislation.
Council Member Young left the meeting.
Council Member Miller stated that favorable consideration of the
proposal by the Council would set in motion, the process for an
economic development corporation, a five member board to the
corporation. He assumed Council would think about a sales tax
election on August 10th. At every step of way, the Board of
Directors would return to Council with by-laws which would be done
in open session and public input at that time and accept or reject
the by-laws and recommendations at that point in time.
Hall replied correct. That was the reason for the formation of the
corporation. The corporation at this point in time was unfunded
and the corporation would then develop the by-laws which would
develop checks and balances.
Council Member Krueger left the meeting.
Council Member Miller stated that one of the critical issues was
the issue of whether to have a 4A or 48 corporation. Council would
Agenda No.

need the input so as to decide at the next meeting which
corporation to recommend.
Hall stated that if Council had specific questions of this
committee to let him know in advance so that the committee could
respond to those questions.
Council Member Young returned to the meeting.
2. The council considered and gave staff direction on continuing
the waiver policy for the Parks and Recreation programs.
Council Member Cott left the meeting.
City Attorney Prouty stated that staff had surveyed other cities in
the area as to the question of continuing the waiver policy. Most
of the area cities required a waiver or release for any injuries
which were caused by or incurred by the children who were
participating in the programs. The staff revised the release form
based on the information received from the survey. The first
paragraph indemnified and held the City harmless for any injuries
caused to third persons or property by the minor participating in
the program. The release would be signed by the parent or
guardian. The second paragraph was a release for any injuries or
damages which might occur to the child participate in the program
including any claims or damages aris-4ng from the negligence of the
City or any of its employees. A new provision in the release was
that when a minor reached an adult age, the minor had the ability
to repudiate the release. The parent would be required to
indemnify the City against the minor's repudiation of the release.
A provision was continued which authorized the City to photograph,
televise or sound record any athletic events a child might
participate in. It also allowed the City to provide medical
services and care to an injured child. In order to do this, the
release form had to be notarized as the medical facilities would
not render medical care unless the release form was notarized.
Staff was recommending that the City continue the current policy of
requiring such a release to participate in Parks and Recreation
programs and would recommend that the Council adopt a new release
form similar to the one proposed.
Council Member Cott returned to the meeting.
Council Member Miller asked about the difference between the
current and proposed release form.
City Attorney Prouty stated that the present release form did not
have some of the language regarding no indemnification by the
parent in the event a minor repudiated the release. The language
with regard to indemnification and hold harmless was not as
complete as what was proposed.

Council Member Krueger returned to the meeting.
City Attorney Prouty stated that the current forms were not
notarized.
Council Member Miller asked if the Parks staff would handle the
notarization of the forms.
Ed Hodney, Director of Parks and Recreation, stated that he had
expressed a question about whether it would be logistically
possible to have each form notarized. If the City required
notarization on all waivers, it might reduce the number of
participants in the program and might be perceived as an
inconvenience. He had to rely on the City Attorney to decide
whether or not a notary signature was critical as far as the waiver
of liability was concerned.
Council Member Miller asked if other cities required notarization
of their waivers and had there been a problem in not notarizing
these in terms of receiving medical care.
Hodney stated that most of the cities in the survey did not require
the forms to be notarized. He did not know the response from the
hospitals.
City Attorney Prouty stated that most other cities did not require
notarization. Courts were very skeptical and were quick to set
aside release forms, especially when trying to release the rights
of a minor, and the notarization would show that the form was
signed by the parent and gives a seriousness to the form. There
were certain medical facilities which would not render medical
attention to a minor without some sort of release from the parent
without being notarized. There might be some reduction in
participants if notarization was required.
Council Member Miller felt that if the majority of other cities did
not require the notarization and if the programs were working well
without, he did not want to add a stricter requirement to the
process.
Council Member Cott stated that he understoe,d that no adult could
give away the rights of a minor under any circumstances.
City Attorney Prouty stated that that was one of the problems with
the former release. The minor had the right to repudiate when he
reached majority. That was why the third clause was included in the
form and put the parent on the line.
Mayor Pro Tem Biles stated that a child0s biological parent was the
child's natural guardian of person of the child and not of the
estate of the child. There was a different set of issues than a
1

complete waiver of child's property rights, a child's right to
inherit and a child's right to proceed against action. The Texas
F Health and Safety Code required that any power of attorney for
designation of an agent for health care decisions must be sworn.
If the notary was removed, the City would not have the right to
transport a child to a hospital. The solution might be to include
language on the form that it was valid and accepted only when fully
executed and notarized. The form could be notarized for no charge
at City Hall, City Hall West, the Municipal Complex as well as at
the recreation centers.
Mayor Castleberry asked if it would be possible for the Parks
employees to become notarized.
Hodney stated yes that it could be done. It might be difficult to
have a notary at every facility for all the hours that the facility
was open.
Mayor Castleberry stated that most of the registration was done in
a day or two.
Acting City Manager Svehla stated that notaries could be present at
given hours at the facilities.
Council Member Krueger stated that the registration was not done
just at the recreation centers. There were several days when
registration was done at the Mall. The City employees could not be
at all places at all tines. The DISD did not have a form such as
this to address children in school. When a sentence was included
against the negligence of the City, it was not protecting the
rights of the citizens. The context of the form did not protect
citizens. He felt the responsibility of the City was to provide
good care for its citizens and their children and not disclaiming
responsibility if the City made a mistake.
Council Member Young stated that this waiver would not stand up in
court. He liked the notary provision and the ability to have a
child taken care of when medically needed. The waiver was more
restrictive but felt that it would not stop individuals from
participating in programs.
Council Member Miller asked if the City was not treating children
who were injured.
Max Blackburn, Risk Manager, stated that in every case where there
was an injury, the City had either called for an ambulance or taken
care of the child.
Council Member Miller asked if this had causel a problem for the
City up to this point.

Blackburn stated it had not caused a problem up to this point but
up until now a wavier was required even though the waiver was
insufficient.
Council Member Miller questioned the need for notarization of the
I` form.
Mayor Pro Tem Biles stated that other cities might not do this
procedure and Denton might not have required it up to this point in
time, but that did not make the prior release forms legitimate or
binding. He felt it was an insufficient document if it was not
notarized.
City Attorney Prouty stated that releases like this were challenged
and felt that notarization added legal sufficiency to the release
form.
Council Member Miller stated that the release form would have to be
notarized or the individual could not participate in the program.
Would current participants in the programs have to notarize a
statement. He asked if there was a wavier for pre-adults and was
it currently required to be notarized.
Hodney stated that it was not currently notarized.
City Attorney Prouty stated that the Council's first consideration
was if it wanted the release at all. The second point was did the
Council want a legally sufficient document. The proposed release
would cover the legal issues. The current form would not stand up
in a court proceeding.
Council Member Krueger stated that the City better be prepared to
sign up everyone who walked in the doors of the recreation centers
if the forms had to be notarized. If a light fixture was loose and
looked dangerous and an individual informed the building attendant
that it was dangerous and then the light fixture fell on someone
who had signed a release form, would the City still could be sued
so what good was the form.
City Attorney Prouty stated that in the release form, the parent
for the child was releasing any injuries caused by the City's
negligence. one possibility was to separate the medical
authorization and the photographic authorization on the back of the
form. The remainder of the release would be signed without
notarization. There would be two forms. The release form without
the notarization would not give it the same legal standing and
would subject it to more of a risk to be set aside.
Mayor Castleberry stated that that could complicate it and one form
would be less confusing.

Department on the I.M.A.G.I.N.E. program and viewed a video.
Ed Hodney, Director of Parks and Recreation, stated that the Denton
Parks and Recreation program had recently re-examined its mission
and in doing so, realized that the purpose of the program was
changing and was more in community services. The Parks Department
worked with other agencies such as the School District, social
services agencies and the I.M.A.G.I.N.E. program reflected the
gradual shift to a broader, more useful mission for the City.
Brenda Burton, Children Program Supervisor, stated that the City
had received a donation from the Ruth Anderson estate with the only
stipulation to use the funding for youth at-risk programming. The
program was des;gned for teens from 14-17 years of age which would
help broaden their horizons. The teens selected were recommended
by community leaders, people within the School District, and
churches. The teens participated in community service projects,
fund raisers, and cultural activities. Throughout the year they
worked on a point system to earn points toward a trip to
Washington, D. C. Eight teens completed the program and those
eight went to Washington, D.C. All the teens maintained or
improved their grades in school, expanded their social circle and
became more outgoing.
A video was shown detailing the program.
4. The Council received a report and held a discussion regarding
the 1996-97 City Council budget priority questionnaire.
Jon Fortune, Chief Finance Officer, stated that the questionnaire
was used to provide staff input from Council regarding budget
development for the upcoming fiscal year. Ile asked if Council had
any new service areas to include or to delete any servic., areas on
the list.
Council Member Cott asked when Vision put in their priorities.
Acting City Manager Svehla stated that the majority of the Vision
projects that involved any kind of capital would be in the CIP and
Council already had recommendations on those. The rest of the
vision projects involved staff time.

Council Member Krueger stated that Denton County was the only law
enforcement agency which covered auto theft. He understood that
there was grant money available for cooperative ventures with other
entities. He would like that put on the survey plus children
oriented safety programs.
Mayor Pro Tem Biles suggested including infill policy development,
university relations and policy coordination development with other
entities in the City.
Council Member Brock questioned the priority response ratings of 1-
7. She felt that there was a misunderstanding about what should be
in that column. There was a need to sort out the understanding of
that column. Initially it was interpreted on how important was the
City effort in that area. Before the Council completed the
questionnaire, there wa;; a need to understand how to complete that
column.
Mayor Castleberry felt that that column indicated that if a Council
Member was satisfied with the current situation, it would be given
a "four". If there was not enough effort, "increase effort" would
be marked.
Council held a discussion on the interpretation of how to complete
the last column on the questionnaire.
Mayor Castleberry stated that staff would change the wording on how
to interpret that column.
Following the completion of the Work Session, the council convened
into a Special Called Session.

exception to the noise ordinance for the use of amplified sound for
a wedding reception until 1:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 1, 1996, at

SPECIAL INFORMATION Date
• Engineering & Transportation:
The site will need to be final platted prior to development.
No median cut is proposed at this time. If, in the future, a median cut is
proposed, it would be located where a cut is currently approved to serve the
proposed development to the west of Lillian Miller.
• Drainage:
The applicant proposes an underground culvert, as shown, diagonally across
the lower part of the site. Engineering plans for this (and related surface drainage) will
be reviewed with the final plat.
• Landscaping:
A large, wooded area at the north end of the site will be preserved, and a
minimum of large trees will have to be removed. Along the shared property line
with Southridge Estates (to the south), the Commission notes that the S.U.P.
plan proposes a "bufferyard". The proposal is for a landscaped strip 20 ft.
wide, containing at least twenty-one live oak trees (four per 100 ft.) of 2"
caliper, minimum.
• Utilities:
The existing public utility infrastructure is adequate to support the proposal.
Taps will be made and service lines will be laid as required.
HISTORY
The majority of the site was zoned A by the 1969 zoning map of the City.
Most of this site was zoned 2F along a proposed route of what is now Lillian
Miller and a small piece bordering the current alignment of Lillian Miller was
zoned SF-16 in 1980 by ordinance 80-21.
The SF-16 portion is currently in the process of being rezoned from SF-16 to
2F, and will be reviewed by you at a later meeting.
NOTIFICATION:
The ten property owners within 200 ft. of the site were notified of the
Commission hearing on March 1, 1996. At this writing, no written replies have
been received from these owners.
In addition, the applicant coordinated a meeting of the neighborhood on March
5, 1996. Owners within a range of 500 t ft. were invited. There were no

Mr. Cochran: What is on this lot now? ~I
Mr. Reeves: It is vacant. It is actually four lots and they are all vacant.
Ms. Flemming: It is my understanding that with a Specific Use Permit there is a time frame that this
use is permitted for. Is that going to be the case with the parking lot?
Mr. Reeves: The way the ordinance reads there is a time frame in which you have to do whatever
construction it is that you are doing, otherwise the Specific Use Permit expires. Since the school
district plans on going out there probably as soon as they can to start construction of their parking lot
that won't come into effect.
Ms. Russell: Would the petitioner care to speak?
Mr. Russell Bates: May name is Russell Bates and my office is at 1300 N. Locust. We are going
to do this in two phases. Primarily what we are going to do is to get the cars off of the streets. Right
now if you were to go down through Davis and Wood Streets in the morning it is pretty congested.
This will be parking for the teachers. There is approximately twenty-seven parking spaces. The total
when it is all completed will be about fifty-seven spaces. We created a bus lane on Wood Street when
we did the learning center. The intent in the future is on Wood Street in front of the school to create
an area for parents to drop off their children.
Ms. Russell: Is there anyone to speak in favor of the petition? Is there anyone to speak in opposition
to the petition? Any rebuttal? We will close the public hearing. Any final remarks?
Mr. Powell: I go paa that school two or three times a day and I can tell you a parking lot is needed.
This is a disaster waiting to happen. This is a great idea.
Mr. Cochran: I move we recommend approval of this Specific Use Permit for the Sullivan-Keller

each will be required. What is on your desk is the correct instrument, there have been some changes

made. The drawing that you have before you serves as the SUP site plan, the alternative landscape
plan, and the preliminary plat. All of the required information is there for all three items. This site
is a little over five acres and is located on Lillian Miller Parkway, directly south of Southridge
Village. Currently the land is vacant. It is currently zoned 2F and a small portion is zoned Single
Family near Lillian Miller. The Specific Use Permit that we art' recommending would apply to either
2F or Single Family zoning. We are recommending this without conditions. (Presented slides
showing a project in Flower Mound that the applicant has built that is similar to what they are
proposing here.) This site of course will need to be platted before they can build and tonight we are
looking at the preliminary plat. One thing that will be reviewed on the final plat is the adequacy of
the drainage plans, sidewalk plans, and that sort of thing. Under landscaping we were going to
propose a bufferyard between this development and Southridge Estates. The applicant has drawn a
bufferyard on their plan. What the developer is proposing is an alternative landscape plan. They are
proposing a twenty foot wide buffer with at least four two inch caliper Live Oak trees per hundred
feet. The applicant is showing twenty-one trees in that area. Those trees will need to be maintained
and irrigated. If the SUP is approved then the building will have to go where it is shown on the plan.
There is a thirty-six inch culvert underground proposed that will be associated with the final plat.
Mr. Salmon: Trendmaker built a large inlet structure at the back of the lots to catch water from the
adjacent property before it got to their property. This applicant will be required to connect the system
from Lillian Miller to this inlet system.
Mr. Yost: This proposal is inconsistent with the plan in the area of allocated intensity. It is
consistent with the plan in all of the other areas. They are requesting 54 units. The overall density
will be 9.5. There were ten notices mailed out and we have received two replies, both in favor.
M.-. Powell: Why are we looking at this as a Specific Use Permit instead of changing the zoning?
Mr. Yost: The applicant chose to go with the SUP which in some respects protects the neighborhood.
Mr. Moreno: As I understand it the property owners will have to maintain the landscaping in the
bufferyard?
Mr. Yost: That is correct. They will plant the required trees and then maintain them.
Ms. Russell: 1 have a card from a Mr. Richard Bragg.
Mr. Richard Bragg: My name is Richard Bragg and I live at 2537 Natchez Trace. I am in favor of
the use with two exceptions. They are proposing to use Austin stone and stucco and that is not
consistent with what is in the area. 1 also have a problem with the access in the back area for delivery
trucks. They are proposing to have it on the south side and I think it would be better if they had it
on the north side of the building.
Ms. Russell: Would the petitioner care to speak?
Mr. Eric Schmitz: My name is Eric Schmitz and I am representing the petitioner. I office at 6400
Cross Timbers, Flower Mound. We had our neighborhood meeting and the owner has agreed to build

with brick and composition roof to blend into the area. This is going to be a place for senior citizens
who have sold their homes. This is going to be similar to Sterling House on Hinkle Drive. We will
have fifty-four units. We are going to save as many trees as possible. There will be a fence line
along Souduidge Estates which is a requirement of that subdivision. As far as drainage, we are not
substantially changing any topography and we went out of our way to work with the property in a
way that we could save the oak trees to the north. We put a lot of thought into it.
Ms. Russell: Is there anyone else that would like to speak in favor of the petition? Is there anyone
that would like to speak in opposition? We will close the public hearing. We will be first considering
the Specific Use Permit application.
Mr. Moreno: Do we need to make the brick construction a condition of the Specific Use Permit?
Mr. Robbins: It is not a condition of the Specific Use Permit at this time. There is no construction
materials condition as part of the Specific Use Permit so he would not be required to build with brick.
It could be added as a condition of the Specific Use Permit.
Ms. Russell: 1 would think it would be in the best interest of the neighbors to make that a condition.
Mr. Moreno: I move we recommend approval of the Specific Use Permit for Z-96-005 and the
associated site plan with the landscape buffer condition as proposed by staff.
Ms. Schertz: I'll second.
Mr. Yost: There is no condition now. That the report was written when there was a need for a
condition. The need for that condition has been eliminated by the plan that you received tonight.
Mr. Moreno: 1 withdraw the original motion and I move we recommend approval of the Specific Use
Permit for Z-96-005 and the associated site plan.
Ms. Schertz: I'll second.
Ms. Russell: Any discussion? All in favor of the mtion please raise your right hand. Opposed
same sign. Approved. (7-0)
b. Consider an alternate landscape plan.
Mr. Yost: Concerning the alternate landscEpe plan, the ordinance requires that to meet with your
approval it has to be clearly superior to what the regulations require. In our estimation it is. There
will be a fence line between this development and Southridge Estates which is a requirement of that
subdivision.
Mr. ]ones: I move approval of the alternate landscape plan of Lot 1, Block A of the Lillian Miller
Addition with the condition that all required trees be a minimum of two inch caliper.

Mayor and members of the City Council
FROM: Planning and Zoning Commission
SUBJECT;
Milam Creek Ranch Phase II,
; variance to drainage design standards
The owner of Milam Creek Ranch Subdivision has applied for a variance of section 34.124(el
of the Code of Ordinances concerning drainage design standards. The cited section requires
that channels not associated with a floodplain be lined or replaced with underground pipes.
The rosdsiof borrow ditches in this subdivision outfall into an existing drainage Swale at the
north side of lot 17 which flows in a southeasterly direction through lot 17 into the proposed
Phase III. The owner proposes to leave this drainage Swale in a natural condition and will
dedicate a drainage easement wide enough to contain a 100 year storm on the final plat of
Phase If.
This variance is based on a lack of reasonable connection between the improvement and the
type of development. Therefore it is an exaction variance which is recommended to City
Council by the Planning and Zoning Commission using the following criteria:
Criteria for variances from development exactions. Where the commission finds that
the imposition of any development exaction pursuant to these regulations exceeds any
reasonable benefit to the property owner or is so excessive as to constitute
confiscation of the tract to be platted, it may recommend aproval of variances to
waive such exactions, so as to prevent such excess, to the City Council. Waiver of
developmental exactions shall be approved by the City Council.

VL Milam Creek Ranch. Located on the south side of Milam Road east of Interstate 35.
a. Consider a General Development Plan of 160 acres, composed of Phases I, II, and Ill.
Mr. Yost: This is an update of an existing general development plan that was submitted and
approved about a year ago. At the time the applicant did not know the location or the lotting of
Phase B and M. They now know the location and totting of Phase It. This is 160 acres in the ETJ
on the south side of Milam Road. Phase i was platted last year and is for residential, large lot use.
Staff recommends the General Development Plan.
Ms. Russell: Would the petitioner care to make any remarks?
Mr. Brian Burke; It is just like Mr. Yost explained, we are ready to proceed with the next phase of
lots.
Mr. Powell: I move approval of the General Development Plan of a 160 acres composed of Phases
1, 11, and III of Milam Creek Ranch.
Mr. Cochran: I'll second.
Ms. Russell: Any discussion? All in favor please raise your right hand. Opposed same sign.
Approved. (7-0)
b. Consider a variance to Section 34.124 (e) for drainage design standards for Phase II.
Mr. Salmon: Mr. Burke is representing the owner and has applied for this variance. The cited
section requires that in a drainage area such as this, that is not associated with a floodplain, that the
channel either be lined or piped underground. The developer is proposing lots of three to five acres
and he feels that the lots are spacious enough to allow the drainage to remain in a natural condition
and proposes to grant drainage easements that are wide enough to contain the water for a hundred
year storm. This is an exaction variance because it is based on the need for drainage improvements
created by this development. Staff is recommending the variance. The roads all drain to a point
where the water would go across the northeast portion of Lot 17. This is the only place that needs
to have a drainage easement. We feel that the lots are large enough to grant the drainage easement
and still leave plenty of buildable area. With lots of three to five acres the increase in drainage
runoff is going to be minimal and the natural system should be able to handle it without any
problems.
Mr. Moreno: I move that the exaction variance as proposed by the applicant of section 34-124(e)
of the Code of Ordinances be recommended to the City Council based on findings of lack of
reasonable connection between the exaction and the development.
Mr. Jones; Second.

(1) The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the
public safety, health, or welfare or injurious to other pro-
perty;
(2) The conditions upon which the request for a variance is based
are unique to the property for which the variance is sought
and are not applicable generally to other property;
(3) Because of the particular physical surroundings, shape, or
topographical conditions of the specific property involved, a
particular hardship to the owner would result, as
distinguished from a mere inconvenience, if the strict letter
of these regulations is carried out;

or,
if the variance is from an exaction (eg. road construction, right-

REPORT
TO: Mayor and members of the City Council
FROM: Planning and Zoning Commission
SUBJECT: Hickory Crossing Addition; variances to drainage design standards, private
street requirements, paving standards and the interior sidewalk requirement.
The owners of the proposed Hickory Crossing Addition, at the northeast corner of F. M. 1830
and Hickory Hill Rd., have applied for variances to the Code of Ordinances, section 34-124(e)
[drainage design standards], section 34-125(b) [street access], 34-114(3) [paving standards],
and 34-1140 7) [sidewalks]. All four are exaction variances, requiring City Council approval,
following recommendation by the Planning & Zoning Commission. The Commission has
determined that the following criterion has been met in each instance:
(b] Criteria for variance from development exactions.
Where the commission finds that the imposition of any development exaction pursuant
to these regulations exceeds any reasonable benefit to the property owner or is so
excessive as to constitute confiscation of the tract to be platted, it may recommend
approval of variances to waive such exactions, so as to prevent such excess, to the
City Council. Waiver of development exactions shall be approved by the City Council.
Section 34.124(e) requires that channels not associated with a floodplain be lined, or replaced
with underground pipes. There are three drainage courses crossing this particular site, one of
which is in a floodplain. The owner proposes, and the Commission recommended, leaving the
drainage courses in a natural state, and providing drainage easements wide enough to contain
a 100-year storm. The two drainage courses total approximately 1,800 ft. and installing
channel lining or a pipe system would cost in excess of $100,000. The construction of
twelve homes on 30-acres will have a small effect on the drainage.
Section 34-125(b) allows private roads to only be in Planned Development zoning districts.
Since this property is beyond Denton's city limits, where no zoning exists, there is no
mechanism than variances for allowing a private street. In this situation, the proposed private
road meets all geometric criteria that are required for privato roads In the City. The
Commission saw no reasonable relationship between the exaction and the proposed
development. A homeowner's as.~jciation agreement to maintain this private street should
be approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Section 34-114(3) requires that private roads be at least 24 ft. wide, with a minimum of five
inches of concrete or asphalt over a limed subgrade. The developer is proposing a 24 ft.-wide
road with six inches of crushed rock, and a two-course penetration asphalt over a limed
subgrade. The Commission determined that the proposal is sufficient to serve 12 lots, and the
cost of the required paving per lot owner (considering the long frontages) would be excessive.

are required on the perimeter of the site.) The developer is proposing no sidewalk or walkway
system inside the subdivision, either. The Commission determined that, considering the
frontages, the cost of sidewalks would not be warranted when compared with the anticipated
use.
The Council has the option of voting on these items separately or together.

surveyor engineers for Auto Zone and we do quite a bit of work for them. This is the thirty-third
store that we have done for them. The feed store will be Lot 2, Block 1. We will submit the final
plat for Lot 1, Block 1 this week with the engineering plans. They are ready to start construction.
They have moved the location of the building slightly because there is a thirty-six inch oak tree in
the middle of Lot 1. We moved the building to try to save that tree. That is about the only tree out
there.
Ms. Russell: Is there anyone to speak in favor to the petition? Is there anyone to speak in
opposition to the petition? We will close the public hearing. Any final remarks?
Mr. Jones: I move we approve the preliminary replat of the Auto Zone Addition.
Mr. Powell: Seconded.
Ms. Russell: Any discussion? All in favor please raise your right hand. Opposed same sign.
Approved. (7-0)
IV. Consider an Alternate Landscape Plan for Denton Distribution Center. The site is located on the
north side of Airport Road, directly west of the Kansas City Railroad tracks.
Mr. Yost: You have already seen the plat for this development. The development is located on
Airport Road just west of the railroad tracks. What normally happens when a landscape plan is
submitted is that it is compared to the current regulations. If a developer does not want to comply
with the regulations then they can submit an alternate landscape plan. To be approved the plan
must be superior to what the regulations require. In this case the warehouse is required to have
forty-three trees of two inch caliper in the street yard. The applicant has proposed to put in
twenty-nine trees of four inch caliper. Staff believes that this is superior to what is required. The
normal requirement calls of eighty-six caliper inches and the applicant is proposing to plant a total
of a hundred and sixteen caliper inches.
Mr. Cochran: How long does it take a two inch caliper tree to become a four inch caliper tree?
Mr. Yost: It depends on the soil and the water but it is roughly five years.
Mr. Powell: I move approval of the Alternate Landscape Plan of the Denton Distribution Center.
W. Jones: Second.

construction of sidewalks, Section 34-114 (3) for street design standards.,

Mr. Salmon: Jerry Yensan who is representing the owner has applied for the variances from the
Code of Ordinances. The subdivision is in the City of Denton's ETJ near the intersection of
Hickory Hill Road and F.M. 1830, which is down toward Argyle. Section 34-125(b) which is
street access, this particular section of the ordinance requires Planned Development zoning in order
to have a private street. However, we don't have zoning in the ETJ which means in the city's
ordinances there really is no mechanism to have a private street in the ET]. Section 34-114(3)
concerning street design standards, the City of Denton requires that even private streets be built to
a minimum standard. That standard would be twenty-four feet wide with a minimum thickness of
either five inches of asphalt or concrete. Section 34-114(17) concerning sidewalks requires that a
sidewalk would be installed along that interior street, The sidewalk variance is included even
though we do not require sidewalks on private streets. You will be making a recommendation to
the City Council since these are exaction variances. We included the sidewalk variance simply
because if for some reason the private street variance isn't granted then the sidewalk variance
would be applicable. These variances are based on the need created by the development for these
particular pieces of infrastructure therefore they are exaction variances so you will be making a
recommendation to the City Council based on findings of reasonable connection between the
exaction and the type of development. Staff is recommending all three of these variances be
recommended to the City Council. The proposed road does conform to the city's geometric
standards for private roads. Basically our standards say that a private road cannot be a through
street, it has to serve that development only. The developer is proposing to build a county standard
road which is lime prepared subgrade with six inches of gravel and a two course penetration
asphalt. There will be twelve lots which would be a hundred and twenty vehicle trips a day and we
feel that this type of pavement will be appropriate in this instance and that the standard five inches
of asphalt or concrete would not be necessary. Because these lots are all over two acres and they
have more street frontage than the normal lot we feel that the expense of sidewalks would be more
per lot than a normal subdivision and that they would be a little bit onerous. We are recommending
approval of those three variances.
Mr. Powell: Will this street be sixty feet wide?
Mr. Salmon: The easement is going to be sixty feet wide and it will contain the road as well as the
drainage bar ditches on each side.
Mr. Powell: I move that the exaction variances, as proposed by the applicant of sections 34-125(b)
street access, 34.114(3) street design standards, and 34-114(17) sidewalks be recommended to the
City Council based on findings of lack of reasonable relationship between the exactions and the
development.
Mr. Jones: Second.
Mr. Russell: Any discussion? All in favor please raise your right hand. Opposed same sign.
Approved. (7-0)
b. Consider a variance to Section 34-124 (e) for drainage design standards.
Mr. Salmon: The forth variance on this property is concerning drainage. On this particular piece
P&Z Minutes a -
March 27, 1996
Page 6 °G. n
Date •
of property there are several drainage courses running through the property. Each of them are
actually rather significant. There is an existing drainage course in the northwest corner that is also
in the hundred year floodplain. The applicant is proposing to dedicate a hundred foot wide
drainage easement that will be large enough to contain the floodpWn in that location. Our
ordinances require that they leave it in its natural condition and they are more than happy to do just
that. The two other drainage courses across the property, one in the southwest portion, and the
other in the northeast, are somewhat smaller and are not associated with the floodplain. Because
they are not associated with the floodplain the applicable section of the ordinance which is Section
34-124(e) would require those to either have underground pipe, or if the amount of water was
large enough, a lined channel. The applicant is proposing to leave those areas in a natural condition
and to simply dedicate a drainage easement that is wide enough to contain a hundred year storm to
ensure that people don't build their homes near that drainage area, or some other type of blockage
such as a solid fence, or they decide to fill it into level their yard. This is an exaction variance and
staff is recommending that this variance for the channel lining requirement be recommended to the
City Council. These are relatively large lots, over two acres in size. There will be plenty of room
between the homes to leave the drainage in a natural condition without inhibiting the building of
houses on the lots. With the easements in place we feel that the drainage will be handled
appropriately. It would cost in excess of a hundred thousand dollars to build drainage charnels
and/or pipes to comply with our ordinance and if you divide that up over twelve lots that is quite a
bit per lot for drainage improvements. We have twelve lots on thirty acres so they are really not
increasing the drainage runoff by a significant amount. The drainage will be running into the bar
ditches along the road and the road generally drains toward the east and will go into the drainage
easement.
Ms. Schertz: I move thtt exaction variances, as proposed by the applicant of section 34-124(e) of
the Code of Ordinances be recommended to the City Council based on findings of lack of
reasonable connection between the exaction and the development.
Mr. Jones: Second.
Ms. Russell: Any discussion? All in favor please raise your right hand. Opposed same sign.
Approved. (7-0)
c. Consider the preliminary plat of Lots 1 through 12, Block A.
Mr. Yost: This is a little over twenty-nine acres and is located in the ETJ of Denton and it is for
twelve lots. The four variances have been recommended therefore, staff recommends conditional
approval based on the final approval of the four variances.
Mr. Jones: I move approval of the preliminary plat of Lots I through 12, Block A of the Hickory
Crossing Addition conditioned on approval of the four associated variances.
Mr. Cochran: Second.

REPORT
TO: Mayor and members of the City Council
FROM: Planning and Zoning Commission
SUBJECT: Stateson-Miller replat; variances to street paving standards and private street
requirement
The owner of Lot 1, Block A of the Stateson Miller Addition has applied for variances of
sections 34-125(b) concerning street access and 34.114(3) concerning street design
standards. Section 34-125(b) allows private streets only in planned development zoning
districts and Section 34-174(3) requires that private roads be at least 24 feet wide with five
inches of asphalt on a limed subgrade.
The Stateson Miller Addition was platted in August of 1995 (Attachment 2) as four large tots
in the City of Denton's ETJ. During that process, variances were processed for street access,
paving standards and sidewalks. Complete variances were granted for street access
standards allowing the lots to front on a private road and for sidewalks. A partial variance
was granted for street design standards. The applicants at the time wanted to construct a
6 foot wide crushed rock road on a time stabilized base. The partial variance which was
approved allowed a 20 foot wide crushed rock road on a lime stabilized base.
The subdivision has been constructed with a 60 ft. private road right-of-way since that time.
Mr. Miller, owner of Lot 1 wishes to further subdivide his 34 acre lot into six tots, each over
5 acres. This will give the subdivision a total of 9 lots. Mr. Miller does not propose to install
any additional public improvements.
The variances are based on the reasonable relationship between the requirements and type
of development. Therefore, the commission considered the following criteria in making their
recommendation to the City Council.
(b) Criteria for variances from development exactions. Where the commission finds that
the imposition of any development exaction pursuant to these regulations- uxceeds any
reasonable benefit to the property owner or is so excessive a.: to constitute
confiscation of the tract to be platted, it may recommend approval of variances to
waive such exactions, so as to prevent such excess, to the City Council. Waiver of
developm,ntal exactions shall be approved by the City Council.
The Commission recommended the variance be approved. This was a recommendation to
approve access from a private street, and a recommendation to allow the street as
constructed 120 ft. wide lima-stabilized base - crushed rock surface). Construction and
dedication of a public road or a standard city private road would cost in excess of $80,000
or nearly $13,500 per lot being developed compared to an average of $4,500 per lot for
developments inside the city limits.

VII. Stateson-Miller Addition. The 33.934 acre site is located northwest of Tom Maxwell and Old
Thomas Roads.
a. Consider a variance of Section 34-125 (b) for private roads and Section 34-114 (3) for street
design standards.
Mr. Salmon: Jerry Yensan representing the owner has applied for two variances of our Sul division
Regulations. The first is from Section 34-125 (b) concerning street access and the second is from
Section 34-114 (3) concerning street design standards. The first allows private streets only in a PD
zoning district and the second requires that private roads be at least twenty-four feet wide and five
inches thick made of either asphalt or concrete with a lime subgrade. We are only looking at one lot
out of the original four. The owner is proposing to subdivide this lot into six lots and each of the new
lots will be over five acres. Daring the last platting process the applicant applied for these same two
variances plus sidewalks. With that subdivision the Planning and Zoning Commission granted
variances of the requirement to have public sweet frontage and the sidewalk requirement, put a partial
variance was granted concerning the street construction. The applicants wanted to build a fifteen foot
wide gravel road and the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that the road be at least
twenty feet wide for emergency service. The subdivision has been constructed the way that it was
approved. These variance regaests are based on reasonable nexus and therefore the criteria we use
to determine whether or not the variance is reasonable is on page 76 and basically deals with issues
of cost, confiscation of the property, and reasonable connection considering the type of development
being proposed. Staff is recommending approval of the variances. Constmction of a public road at
this time would cost over thirteen thousand dollars per lot, which of course is much more than an
average lot. The subdivision will only have a total of nine lots if this plat is approved and all of the
lots will be over five acres. Staff feels that the private road built the way it is, twenty feet wide with
six inches of gravel on a lime stabilized base, is going to be sufficient. We don't have to reconsider
the sidewalk variance because our ordinance does have a section that states that on replats if it was
a single family residential subdivision and the original plat or the previous plat didn't require
sidewalks then the replat doesn't either.
Ms. Russell: Would the petitioner care to speak?
Mr. Yensan: I don't think 1 need to add anything.

Mr. Salmon: The road has been constructed to the specifications that were determined during the last
' platting process and staff fcels that the road is sufficient. Staffs recommendation is that the variances
for Section 34-114 (3), street design standards and Section 34-125 (b), concerning street access be
approved as applied for.
Mr. Powell: I move that the variances be approved as stated by staff.

b. Hold a public hearing and consider the preliminary and final replats of Lot 1, Block A of the
Stateson-Miller Addition; into Lots 1R-1 through 1R-6.
Ms. Russell opened the public hearing.
Mr. Yost. The reason for the public hearing is because it is a replat and being a replat there were
four notices mailed out. We received one reply in favor. Mr. Salmon went over this in very good
detail. There will be no public improvements associated with this replat and we are recommending
this with the condition of final approval of the two variances.
Ms. Russell: Would the petitioner care to speak? Is there anyone to speak in favor of the petition?
Is there anyone to speak in opposition to the petition? We will close the public hearing.
Mr. Powell: I move approval of the preliminary and final replats creating Lot IR-1 through 1R-6,
Block A of the Stateson-Miller Addition conditioned on the approval of the associated variances.
Mr. Cochran: I'll second that.
Ms. Russell: Any discussion? All in favor please raise your right hand. Opposed same sign.

VIII. Hold a public hearing and consider the preliminary and final replats of Lot 1, Block 1 of Lowe's
Addition. The 18.549 acre site is located on the north side of Spencer Road, east of Loop 288.
Ms. Russell opened the public hearing.
Mr. Yost: This is a replat of the Lowe's Addition which is currently under construction at Spencer
and Loop 288. The purpose of the replat is to eliminate a proposed curb cut. The appVcant did
dedicate to the city 3.814 acres of future right-of-way for Loop 288.

TO: Mayor and members of the City Council
FROM: Planning & Zoning Commission
SUBJECT: B.F.E. Systems Addition; perimeter paving and sidewalk variances
The owners of the 8FE Systems Addition located on the north side of Blagg Road
approximately 2,800 feet most of Gessling Road have applied for variances of sections 34-
114(5) (Perimeter Streets) and 34.114117) (Sidewalks) of the Code of Ordinances. Since the
proposed development is within 8,000 feet of a City of Denton waterline, the cited sections
of the ordinance require the developer to reconstruct Blagg Road across the frowage of the
property as well as install sidewalks along that frontage. The developer proposes no street
or sidewalk improvements,
Both variances are based on reasonable nexus and are therefore exaction variances. An
exaction variance may be recommended to the
City Council by the Planning & Zoning
Commission since the following criterion is met;
(b) Criteria for variances from development exactions. Where the commission finds that
the imposition of any development exaction pursuant to these regulations exceeds any
reasonable benefit to the property owner or is so excessive as to constitute
confiscation of the tract to be platted, it may recommend approval of variances to
waive such exactions, so as to prevent such excess, to the City Council. Waiver of
developmental exactions shall be approved by the City Council.
The Commisel°° rocommendt that both the variances be granted as reasonable due to the lack of
relatiomhip between the developmeat rod the required exaction.
The small number of lots compared with the amount of street frontage makes the required
Improvements extremely expensive on a per lot basis especially as the lots will only contain
single family homes. The improvements would cost approximately 911,650 per lot compared
to $5,400 par lot for an average lot in the city. In addition, the county has recently
reconstructed Blagg Road to County Standards and the road is currently in good repair. The
amount of additional traffic created by this development does not warrant funher
Improvement to the road or the construction of sidewalks.

IX. B.F.E. Systems. The 29.115 acre site is located on the north side of Blagg Road approximately 2,000
feet east of Geesling Road.
a. Consider a variance of Section 34-114(17) for the construction of sidewalks, and Section 34-
114(5) for perimeter street paving requirements.
Mr. Salmon: Jerry Yensan representing the owners of the proposed B.F.E. Systems Addition has
applied for two variances of the Subdivision Regulations. The first is Section 34-114(5), perimeter
street paving and the second is Section 34-114(17) concerning sidewalks. The proposed development
is within eight thousand feet of the City of Denton water line therefore the ordinance would require
that the proposed subdivision make perimeter street improvements to Blagg Road and also install
sidewalks along that frontage. Both variances are based on reasonable nexus and therefore the
Planning and Zoning Commission may recommend that these variances be approved to the City
Council if the applicable criteria are met. Reasonable nexus variances may be recommended or
granted when it is found that the development exaction does not have a reasonable connection to the
development. Staff is recommending teat the variances be granted in this case. This is a very large
piece of property and only has seven lots with an extremely long street frontage. The subject
improvements would cost in excess of eleven thousand five hundred dollars per lot which is
considerably more than it would cost to build such improvements for an average residential lot. In
addition the county has recently reconstructed Blagg Road and it is in good condition right now. The
amount of additional traffic that would be created by these seven lots would not require the
construction of any additional sidewalk or street pavement.
Ms. Russell: Would the petitioner care to speak?
Mr. Cochran: I move approval of the variances.
Mr. Jones: Second.
Ms. Russell: Any discussion? All in favor please raise your right hand. Opposed same sign.
Approved. (7-0)
b. Consider the preliminarj plat of Lots 1 through 7, Block A of the B. F.E. Systems Addition.
Mr. Yost: We are locking at seven lots all proposed for residential use and currently the property
is outside of the city limits. There is an annexation study that will take place. There is a note on the
plat that says that all lots with a septic system must be at least one acre and those that are not one acre

Petitioner must provide the rationale for the variance using the
following five criteria.
(1) The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the
public safety, health, or welfare or injurious to other pro-
perty;
(2) The conditions upon which the request for a variance is based
are unique to the property for which the variance is sought
and are not applicable generally to other property;
(3) Because of the particular physical surroundings, shape, or
topographical conditions of the specific property involved, a
particular hardship to the owner would result, as
distinguished from a mere inconvenience, if the strict letter
of these regulations is carried out;

(4) The variance will not in any manner vary the provisions of the
Zoning Ordinance, Denton Development Plan, Master Plan, or
Studies.
(5) The special or peculiar conditions upon which the request is
based did not result from or were not created by the act or
omission of the owner or any prior owner, subsequent to the
date of creation of the requirement from which a variance is
sought.
or,
If the variance is from an exaction (eg. road construction, right-
of-way dedication, drainage improvement - a public improvement
and/or dedication to the public), the imposition of any development
exaction pursuant to these regulations (1) exceeds any reasonable
benefit to the property owner or (2) is so excessive as to
constitute confiscation of the tract being platted.
Waiver of developmental exactions shall be considered after a
recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission by the city
council.

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM; Rick Svehla, Acting City Manager
DATE: April 5, 1996
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A TAX REFUND TO DONALD J. AND LINDA JO CARTER
RECOMMENDATION:
The Tax Department has received a supplement from the Appraisal District for 1991 making a correction
to the appraised value based on a protest by Donald J. Carter reducing the tax he owed in 1991.
Donald J. and Linda Jo Carter are due a refund which the Tax Technician recommends.
SUMMARY:
Chapter 31.11 of the Texas Property Tax Code requires the approval of the governing body of the taxing
unit for refunds in excess of $500.00. Donald J. and Linda Jo Carter are due a refund of $611.01 on
City Account #036108 due to a reduced appraised value in 1991.
BACKGROUND:
Donald 1. and Linda Jo Carter paid their 1991 tax in full on February 5, 1992. A supplement causing
a reduction in appraised value reduced the taxes due for 1991. This reduction in taxes warrants a refund
of $611.01 due to Donald J. and Linda Jo Carter.
PROGRAMS, DEPARTMENTS OR GROUPS AFFECTED:
The Tax Department and the tax account of Donald J. and Linda Jo Carter.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$611.01.

Premier Equipment Services, at the hourly rate of:
$38.00 per hour regular time
$38.00 per hour overtime

With current work load and staff the City of Denton Fleet Services Department is unable to dedicate
the required time and personnel to the landfill equipment maintenance program.
The successful bidder will work under the direction of the Fleet Services Superintendent.

Tom Shaw
Purchasing Agent
City of Denton
Dear Tom:
Summary:
This letter is in support of the attached requisition concerning a change order to
purchase order 60838. The original order funded emergency repairs performed while
the Unit Five turbine generator was disassembled for inspection. The an3ount was
estimated based on the progress of the outage and anticipated repairs. This change
order hinds the final amounts due Siemens.
Background:
Unit Five turbine generator was inspected under contract with Siemens Power
Corporation. The original contract funded known work and some miscellaneous
contingency. When the machine was opened and the steam path was exposed,
damage beyond the original work scope was identified. Due to the inherent expense
of opening a large steam turbine, damage found at the time of inspection is most
efficiently repaired at that time. Since the original order was not sufficiently funded
to cover the additional expense, a new order was established to fund contingency
repairs that were known at the time.
Through the course of the inspection, other damage was identified and additional
repairs were executed.
A significant increase involved the turbine control valves. Due to excessive clearance,
valve stem bushings required re- sizing. Originally we planned to bore the bushings
oversize and adjust clearance with ne%v stems. The hardsurface nitriding on the
bushing bores did not accommodate oversizing. Rather the bushings had to be
removed from the valve bonnets, align bored, nitrided and re installed. This task
alone totaled $25,800.00. Other expenses involved on site labor to repair a bolt hole
for the 1st stage nozzle securement, weld repair the horizontal joint surface of the 1.P

i
turbine near the 14th stage, considerable repair to the stationary diaphragms
including partition section repair, new spill strips and repair of the packing hook fit
registers.
The outage length also exceeded original plans. Technical service fees supplied by
Siemens under the original contract had to be increased $14,000.00 due to the
outage duration. All of these factors accumulated costs exceeding the original order.
Financial Impact:
Original purchase order 60838 totaled $70,000.00
Change order request amount totals $65,454.00
New Purchase order total $135,454.00
Please place this matter on the consent agenda at your earliest convenience and let
me know if you have any questions or if I may be of any further assistance in
preparation of this matter.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Rick Svehla, Acting City Manager
DATE: April 10, 1996
SUBJECT: EXPANSION OF THE OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH NURSE SERVICES
CONTRACT (RFSP #1810)
RECOMMENDATION: We recommend that the contract previously awarded to
Denton Community Hospital for OHN Services be expanded from twenty (20) hours
per week to forty (40) hours per week beginning on April 17, 1996.
DISCUSSION: During the fiscal year 1995-1996 budget deliberations by the City
staff, the decision was made to ask the City Council for approval to award a
professional services contract for a part-time Occupational Health Nurse (OHN).
Funding for the twenty-hour per week contract would be provided from tho Risk
Retention Fund. Council approved the contract award to Denton Community Hospital
in December, 1995.
In the first three months of 1996, the Occupational Health Nurse (OHN) has worked
twenty hours per week for the City, primarily on Monday, Wednesday, and one-half
day on Thursday. She is now administering the City's Drug and Alcohol Testing
program, coordinating Employee Wellness Program activities, and screening new
employees for job suitability. She has also been able to devote some hours to
Workers' Compensation case management and ergonomics training. Even under the
present time constraints, she has: identified a potential new hire who was physically
unsuited for a vacant position; evaluated a repetitive stress injury and determined it
was not work-related; provided guidance to four other employees in early stages of
cumulative trauma; and provided input on medical claims in a lawsuit against the City.
Cost avoidance of these few examples far exceed the total yearly cost of the
contract. Unfortunately, further use of her abilities has been severely limited because
of the lack of available hours.
"Dedicated to Quality Sen ice"

Apend~ly"
~Ve~%
Dale
It is our goal to establish an Occupational Health Clinic where the OHN can screen
work-related injuries, provide first aid treatment, refer employees to appropriate
medical providers, and give tetanus, hepatitis, rabies, and flu shots. All of these
functions are currently provided at a doctor's office at substantially higher costs than
at a City operated clinic. We further anticipate that expanded training, early
intervention in back and upper extremity injuries and expanded case management will
significantly reduce workers' compensation costs.
SUMMARY: It is the City staff's conclusion that an expansion of OHN hours,
establishment of an Occupational Health Clinic and an increase in training and injury
management will more than offset the cost of the expanded contract.
FISCAL IMPACT: The current OHN contract is on a calendar year basis, thereby
spanning two fiscal years. If approved, additional expense for budget year 1995.96
would be $13,920. Cost for the last three months of 1996 would be $7,560. Total
cost to expand the current contract, as recommended, is $21,480. All costs
associated with the contract change order and the establishment of the Occupational
Health Clinic will be paid from the Risk Retention Fund.

DATE: March 28, 1996
SUBJECT: Position Classification Ordinance Amendment
As a result of the pending criminal action toward Sergeant L.B. Jameson, I am requesting
an amendment to the Police Departments current classification ordinance.
Currently and until such time that Jameson's employment status can be finally
determined, 1 would request the addition of one (1) position in the classification of
Sergeant.
The amendment will allow for the appointment/promotion of Officer Scott Fletcher to the
rank of Sergeant.
Simply stated, this ordinance is required as a matter of technical compliance with Section
143 of the Local Government Code and will not impose any additional funding.
The purpose of this memo is just to let you know that the requested ordinance will be
placed on the Council Agenda in the very near future.
Should you have any questions, please let me know.

SUBJECT: Proposed Street Name Change - Underwood Road
RECOMMENDATION:
The Development Review Committee and Planning & Zoning Commission recommends
approval.
SUMMARY/
BACKGROUND
There are two "Underwoods" within the Denton city limits. Avionics
International Supply, Inc. are in the process of locating at the Denton
Municipal Airport and will require an "Underwood" address. It would be
expediant to change the name now in order to mitigate any future locational
problems that might occur.
At this time we are proposing only to change the name to that section of road
that lies within the city limits to Westcourt Road. The other section of
Underwood Road that lies within the unincorporated section of Denton County,
south of Springside, will remain unchanged. This section of Underwood Road is
offset from the northern section and will not pose any major problems to
service entities. If and when the City of Denton annexes this southern
section of Underwood Road, then the name will be changed in conjunction with
the annexatiot..

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION Afle d
March 27, 1996 Date_
Regular meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Denton, Texas was held on
Wednesday, March 27, 1996, and began at 5:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers, 215 E, McKinney.
Present: Mike Cochran, Katie Flemming, Guy )ones, Rudy Moreno, Bob Powell, Ellen
Schertz, and Barbara Russell.
Present from Staff. Frank Robbins, Director of Planning and Development; Jerry Drake, Assistant City
Attorney; Owen Yost, Urban Planner; Walter Reeves, Urban Planner; David Salmon, Senior
Civil Engineer; Kathy DuBose, Executive Director of Finance, Ion Fortune, Chief Finance
Officer; Leanne Bunselmeyer, Administrative Assistant; and Chris Rodriguez, Secretary.
Meeting called to order at 5:03 p.m.
L Consider approval of the minutes of the February 28, 1996 and the March 13, 1996 meetings.
Ms. Russell: Are there any corrections to the minutes?
Mr. Cochran: On page 16 there is a comment that I made that mentions the word "stupid" and I
would like to insert quotation marks around that since I intended it ironically. My intent was to say
that a person has a right to say anything they want to up here whether it is smart or "stupid". You
had to be here to see the big smile on my face when I said it.
Ms. Russell: Any other corrections? Seeing none the minutes will stand approved as corrected.
EL Consider the street name change of Underwood Road to Westcourt Road.
Mr. Salmon: In 1969 when the city annexed property out by the airport the city had two
Underwood Roads. The original one was in the city 'bn ils over by the University by Avenue A, and
the second Underwood Road runs along the east side of the Denton Municipal Airport. Normally
when this occurs the city tries to make these name changes around the same time as the annexation,
but that didn't happen. It has never really caused a problem simply because there is not much out
there on Underwood Road right now. About five years ago, when we started assigning street
number addresses to all property for the 911 system, this issue did come up but it died for lack of
interest. We are looking at it again because we have the Avionics Corporation building a business
on Underwood Road next to the airport and they have requested an Underwood Road address. We
decided that we need to get the road name changed now and not let it go any further. This went to
the Historic Landmark Commission and through those proceedings the name Westcourt was
thought to be an appropriate name. It is after a Dr. Fred Westcourt wh,, was a professor at Texas
Woman's University from 1925 to 1960 and from what we understand he did live out here on this
road. Staff, as well as the Historic Landmark Commission, feels tha, Westcourt is an appropriate
name for this road and that we do need to change it.
Mr. Moreno: Why wouldn't we go ahead and rename that other section as well?
Mr. Salmon: The southern portion is currently outside of the c ry limits so we don't have control
P&Z Minutes agenAejj%j
March 27, 1996 Page 2 AgenDate
over the name of that street, but we would do that when and if we annexed that property.
Mr. Powell: I move that we recommend to the City Council the name change of this street to
Westcourt Road.
Mr. Cochran: I'll second.
Ms. Russell: Any discussion? All in favor please raise your right hand. Opposed same sign.
Approved. (6-0)
Ms. Flemming arrived at 5:12 p.m.
M. Auto Zone located on the north side of the intersection of Dallas Drive and Cook Street,
a. Hold a public hearing and consider a request to rezone 0.9485 acres from the Single
Family 7 (SF-7) zoning district to the Commercial (C) zoning district and the Multi-
Family I (MI`-1) zoning district. Z-96-009
Ms. Russell read the rules of procedure for the public hearing and opened the public hearing.
Mr. Reeves: This is a rezoning of9.382 acres from the Single Family 7 zoning district to the
Commercial zoning district and .0103 acres from the Single Family 7 zoning district to the Multi-
Family I zoning district. Basically there was an error on our map and it showed this property as
being Commercially zoned. When we checked to make sure that the property was zoned
Commercial we found that it was zoned Single Family 7. The applicant in this case is Auto Zone
and they were somewhat upset to find that it was not Commercially zoned. We mailed out twenty-
four notices and we did not receive any replies. We held a neighborhood meeting on the 21st and
there were five people there, one of those being Councilman Young The people that did come
expressed concern that they thought the property was being rezoned for multi-family use. When it
was explained that wasn't the case then there wasn't a problem. Staff is recommending approval of
this rezoning request as presented,
Mr. Cochran: There is a large open section that goes back a ways, I can't tell from this map where
that open section stops.
Mr. Reeves: It is vacant all the way back to where this house is and there is a lot that has a fence.
Ms. Russell: Would the petitioner care to speak?
Mr. Robert Rayner: My name is Robert Rayn,, and my office is at 1108 Dallas Drive, Suite 310.
Mr. Belcher is doing the zoning on this property simply to clarify a mistake that was made many
years ago. As far as the fence that you are talking about, there is a wood fence that backs up to
that house that belongs to Mr. Standbury. We went and visited him because he couldn't make the
neighborhood meeting. We are having the property zoned so we can put an auto parts store there.
1 think that it was good to have the Councilman for that area present at the neighborhood meeting
It does help the neighbors to we that the city really does care about what is going on.

Place.
Paul Williamson: We brought this item to you back in January and you instructed
us to do a little bit more work on coming up with a more historic name. Thu name
Westcourt was mentioned. Bill Coleman indicated that he lived out on Underwood
Road south of the airport. We did a lilt a research and obtained his obituary. I
believe he was a good candidate for a street name. He had quite a history at TWU
and as a civic leader a'.-.o. We suggest that this name be adopted for the street
name.
Mr. Lowry read the rules of procedure for the public hearing and opened the public
hearing.
No one was present to speak at the public hearing. Mr. Smart closed the public
hearing.
Mr. Williamson: The Commission had mentioned using Westcourt Place. Staff
would like to call it Westcourt Road because Place is referred to as a dead-end or
a smaller road.
Mr. Coleman: I move we recommend changing the name from Underwood Road to
Weslcourt Road.
Ms. Byron: Second.
Mr. Lowry: Any discussion? All in favor please say "aye." Opposed say "aye'

It was moved by Ms. Byron, seconded by Ms. Heggins, and unanimously
carried (7-0) to approve the minutes of the meeting of December 18,
1995.
II. Consider making a recommendation on the street name change of
Underwood Road.
Mr. Williamson reported that the Engineering Department was proposing
to change the name of "Underwood Road', located along the east
boundary of the Denton Municipal Airport. The only reason for the
proposed changed is the fact that there are two Underwoods within the
Denton city limits. This came about in December 1969 when the City of
Denton annexed the airport area. About five years ago the City of Denton
initiated changing all rural route and box number addresses within the city
limits to street addresses in conjunction with the implementation of 911.
When the sole existing residence was assigned an address on
Underwoood Road a few years ago, the U.S. Post Office immediately
requested that something be done to mitigate the problem. Staff
recommends that the road name be changed to Avion Road. He added
that the name was derived from the name of the company that is going to
be located there, Avionics International. The name was chosen from a list
that was submitted to staff by Avionics International.
Mr. Coleman stated that he agreed that the name should be changed but
did not agree with the selected name. He stated that he spoke with one
of the We family members (Cindy Cole) and she said that her cousin's
pappy (Wes Court) lived down there and it was always referred to as the
Was Court place. He felt that staff should talk to the families that
originally named the road Underwood.

Mr. Lowry agreed. He added that when he was with the County
Historical Commission there was a process followed on how a road would
be named.
Mr. Coleman asked if the county should also give input on the street
name since it will impact the street named Underwood further down. If
the city limits were to expand and bring in the other street named
Underwood, there would still be two Underwoods in the city.
Ms. Cole asked if the Historical Commission would have an opinion about
the name change.
Mr. Lowry replied that he was no longer associated with the Commission
and did not know if they would be interested.
Ms. Jenkins clarified that the Landmark Commission agreed to changing
the name but were not sure of what name. The Commission was also
concerned about the other Underwood Road.
Mr. Coleman moved to table consideration until further names are
provided. Seconded by Heggins and unanimously carried (7-0).
Mr. Williamson stated that the business will be moving in In about six
months. He added that due to time constraints he would prefer not to do
too much research with the families due to the amount of input that may
be provided.
Alan Smart arrived.
Ms. Jenkins stated that Paul will come back to the next meeting with a
short list of options.

Ms. Russell: Is there anyone that would like io speak in favor of the petition?
Anyone to speak in favor of the petition? Anyone to speak in opposition of the
petition? Any opposition to the petition? Do you (directed to Mr. Coleman)
feel a need to make any further comments? We'll close the public hearing.
Any final remarks?
Mr. Yost: I'd like to mention that as of the end of August, we think this sort of
action would be done by the staff and not the Commission, but right now we're
looking at how the new laws, through the TML, effect what we do and you do.
Ms. Russell: Any discussion Commissioners?
Ms. Schertz: No, at this time I'm ready to make a motion, I'd like to move that
we approve the preliminary and final replats of Lots 1R and 2R, Block B, into
Lot 1R•A of the Montecito del Sur Addition, Phase I.
Ms. Russell: Is there a second?
Mr. Jones: Second.
Ms. Russell: Any further discussion? All in favor of the motion, please raise
your right hand. Opposed same sign. Passes unanimously (5-0). Forgive me
gentlemen in my attempt to get started very quickly tonight. I should welcome
our new commissioners. We're very glad to see you and to be serving with
you.
11. Southridge Estates. The sites are located near the east side of Lillian Miller
Parkway, approximately 200 feet south of 1-35E service road.
a. Consider partial easement abandonments.
Mr. Salmon: Madam Chair and members of the Commission, Trendmaker
Homes has applied to have a partial easement abandonment on Phase 11 and
III of their development. I guess just a simple explanation, there is an existing
sanitary sewer on the property and, of course, it doesn't align with the way
they want to arrange their lots and streets. In designing their subdivision their
going to be rerouting that sanitary sewer so that it follow the street alignment
and also some new easement alignments. So, the first step is to do away with
the existing easements. The transparency shows the Phase 11 plat. The green
areas art the easements that would be abandoned and then I've tried to

Phase III shows the green representing the existing easements and the orange
shows where the new sewer line would be run. Staff recommends that these
easement abandonments take place and I'll answer any questions that you
might have.
Ms. Russell: Our recommendation would be to the City Council?
Mr. Salmon: That's correct.
Ms. Russell: Is there any discussion?
Ms. Schertz: I just have one question. In the line that's going from north to
south, the projected where the easement will be and then down at the bottom
it just shows an arrow. Is that a future subdivision or what is that? Where is
that going to?
Mr. Salmon: That is currently undeveloped property.
Ms. Schertz: That Trendmaker owns?
Mr. Salmon: No, I believe Jake Hersman currently owns that property directly
to the south. Trendmaker owns to the line at the bottom of the subdivision and
then Jake Hersman owns below that.
Katie Flemming arrived.
Ms. Schertz: That was my question, I just wondered if that person had any
problems with we were doing but if it ties back, that answers my question.
Mr. Salmon: No, apparently it's been taken care of on the Trendmaker site.
Ms. Russel►: Any other questions? Chair will entertain a motion.
Mr. Powell: I will move that we accept the recommendation of the staff.
Mr. Jones: Second.
Ms. Russell: Any further discussion? All in favor please raise your right hand.
Opposed same sign. Passes unanimously (5-0). Ms. Flemming abstained,

AGENDA ITEM
TO: MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Rick Svehla, Acting City Manager
SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT WITH ADS ENVIRONMENTAL
SERVICES, INC. FOR SMOKE TESTING AND PROFESSIONAL
ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED
$171,433.
RECOMMENDATION: The Public Utilities Board recommends approval of
the above referenced contract.
SUMMARY: In 1994 ADS performed smoke testing services in the
Cooper Creek basin. The Utilities Department has selected
ADS to continue to do this work in the Pecan Creek basin.
This contract is to test approximately 338,000 linear
feet of line and 650 manholes. This contract covers the
western third of this basin.
BACKGROUND: The Utility Staff has determined that there is a
significant amount of Inflow/Infiltration (I/I) in the
Utility wastewater system. This contract will identify
sources of I/I, evaluate repairs on an cost effective
basis and incorporate this information into our computer
programs including GIS for the western third of the Pecan
Creek Basin. Our goal is to reduce the need to expand our
wastewater plant and/or enlarge our collection system and
to eliminate any potential sewer overflows.
PROGRAMS, DEPARTMENTS OR GROUPS AFFECTED: Citizens of Denton,
Denton Municipal Utilities and ADS Environmental
Services, Inc.
FISCAL IMPACT: The Capital Improvement Plan includes $225,000 for
I/I studies. The cost of this project is $171,433, which
is $53,567 under budget.

SCOPE OF WORK
CITY OF DENTON - PFCAN CREEK SEWER BASIN
Mobilization and Project Administration
Upon receipt of a Notice to Proceed, the ADS will schedule field personnel, mobilize the
project team and arrange for a formal project kick-off meeting with City staff. This meeting
will establish the lines of communication between the City and ADS and will provide input
regarding historical information as it relates to the current project scope. Preliminary
information to be obtained from the City may include, but not be limited to, reports of
previous studies, collection system maps, and historical water usage and treatment plant
records. Previous reports will be reviewed to provide a better understanding of historical
conditions in the wastewater collection system.
The field staff will have weekly meetings. A total of two presentations to City staff and the
PUB or City Council will be given by ADS.
A. BASIC SERVICES - FIELD INSPECTION ($/I.f. or $/each)
Above Ground Reconnaissance & Map Update
This data will supply background base data to be used during the collection system
analysis. All manholes in the collection system will be located for the purposes of map
updates. The City will provide reasonable assistance where required. Where
discrepancies are encountered between the field and existing maps, the field blueline
maps will be updated to reflect the system geometry. Any lines observed in the field, but
not shown on the map will be traced and presented on the final map drawings produced.
The result of the above ground inspection will be an updated inventory of that portion of
the collection system inspected, documentation of observed defects, and blueline map
update.
Manhole Inspection
This data will supply background base data to be used during the collection system
analysis. Field crews will perform visual manhole and pipe inspection on each manhole
in the study area. The manhole and each pipeline entering the manhole will be inspected
with the use of a strong artificial light or reflected sunlight. Thirty-five millimeter time and
date stamped color photographs for each manhole will be taken to record the conditions
encountered. The following data will be recorded on computer forms for each manhole
inspected:
February 15, 1996
Agenda No.
Agenda Item
Date y tO ~e
• Manhole identification (maintenance numbers)
• Construction materials and conditions of covers, rings, walls, steps, aprons, etc.
• Manhole depth and opening size
• Number and size of holes in manhole cover
• Identification of infiltration sources
0 Evidence of leaks and location
• level of high water mark in the manhole
• Type and depth of debris
• Special problems and conditions, such as sources of inflow, overflows, bypasses,
manholes located in natural ponding areas, etc.
• Size, type and depth of pipe
• Evidence of root intrusion
• Condition of pipe connection at manhole (i.e., dropped joints, cracks or other
obvious defects.
• Dishes (pans) installed
• Adjustable metal grade rings
During all phases of this project traffic control procedures will be used as required for public
safety. Traffic disruption will be kept to a minimum.
All defects located during the manhole and visual inspection are input into a software
program for analysis. Each defect will be quantified, and a cost-effectiveness analysis
undertaken to establish if repair is warranted. A priority listing of defects will be developed
along with recommended rehabilitation methods and cost estimates. All manholes within
the study will be inspected.
OSHA approved Confined Space Entry Procedures will be followed at all times. Violations
of these procedures will subject ADS to a first time warning by the City and possible
termination of the contract for any violations thereafter.
Smoke Testing
This portion of the field investigation will identify those sections of the collection system
which have structural defects and experience inflow during periods of rainfall. Rainfall
simulation tests include, but are not limited to, dye tests, water flooding and smoke testing.
Smoke testing includes the simultaneous test, *rig of mains, laterals, and house services.
It will be very effective in the detection of most sources of inflow and restrictive conditions
existing in the tested lines. Thirty-five rr1limeter time and date stamped color photographs
(or equivalent) will be taken of every located ?roblem and referenced in the final computer
printout as an aid in rehabilitation. A schematic drawing giving explicit directions for
locating each problem will be included. Each located problem will be referenced to at least

two permanent stationary points. The field form used will be combined such that all field
work (i.e., physical survey and smoke testing) will be presented on the same form. All
smoke problems will be quantified by giving consideration to the surrounding area
contributing to the problem, and the size and density of the smoke encountered. The City
will provide reasonable assistance regarding pipe locations if necessary.
During the smoke testing phase the location of crews will be communicated to the fire
department and City staff each day prior to commencing the tests. Smoke testing "Notice
to Residents" will be distributed prior to testing.
Any located missing clean-out caps will be replaced during the smoke testing activity.
Cleanout caps to be provided by City prior to initiating smoke testing activities. Location
of missing clean-out caps will be documented on the field forms.
Total linear feet surveyed for pay purposes will be based upon field determined quantities.
B. BASIC SERVICES - ENGINEERING ANALYSIS, AND FINAL REPORT
(Cost Plus Multiplier)
Source Defect Analysis
Each defect identified during the field testing will be quantified by taking into consideration
the type of defect and tributary area. Once all defects with a sub-basin are quantified, a
comparison will be made between the flows as quantified during the physical survey tasks
and flows measured by the City during flow monitoring. This comparison will establish the
remaining unlocated Ill for each basin.
1. The ADS PIPE° (Physical Inventory Point-Source Evaluation) software will be used
to inventory and prioritize each defect.
2. All identified Ili, structural and maintenance defects, and physical data collected
during the manhole inspection and smoke testing will be inventoried, analyzed and
prioritized. The evaluation model offers rehabilitation recommendations by
comparing repair options to transport/treatment.
3. Defects will be ranked by the severity of the problem.
4. The private sector contribution of 1/1 will be quantified. An estimated break down of
the percentage attributable to service line defects will be provided,
Recommendations for corrective action will be made.
5. Output reports will include a summary of all field activities, results of the cost-
effective analysis, and the recommended improvement plan and associated costs.

6. Project tracking form will be provided based upon length of pipe surveyed and
potential gallons of f/I removed.
Cost Effective Analysis
A line segment will ;e termed "cost effective" for subsequent rehabilitation when the cost
of rehabilitating an amount of extraneous flow is less than the cost of transportation and
treatment of that extraneous flow. The cost analysis involves the following exercises:
• Assumption that all overflows must be corrected
• Cost of rehabilitation for each problem line se` ment
• Cost of transportation and treatment of extraneous flows (based upon
marginal costs approved by City staff)
• Comparison of the cost of rehabilitation versus the cost of transportation and
treatment
In order to determine if a line segment should be rehabilitated, it will be necessary to select
the rehabilitation method and estimate the cost. For each located problem, ADS will
provide a recommendation regarding a method of rehabilitation, estimates for its
associated cost based on local construction costs, and the estimated percentage of
infiltration/inflow removal. These recommendations will then be entered directly into the
computer program. The computer program will rank the leak source by priority number.
This number will be obtained by dividing the cost of transportation and treatment by the
estimated rehabilitation cost. If the transportation and treatment cost for a particular
problem is greater than the estimated rehabilitation cost, the leak source will have a priority
number greater than one, and the problem will be cost effective to rehabilitate. If the
priority number is less than one, the problem will not be cost effective to repair,
Example: Cost of Transport/Treatment
Cost of Repair
> 1.0 (Cost effective to repair)
< 1.0 (Not cost effective to repair)
Final Report
Following the completion of field activities, a draft report will be presented. This
comprehensive report will provide a summary of all field activities. A priority ranking of each
system defect will be presented along with the recommended method of rehabilitation and

data will be presented.
The final computer output will be the rehabilitation summary sheets describing, by priority,
the location and description of each category of rehabilitation work and will be referenced
back to the field documentation/photographs. The defects database, updated maps,
videotapes, and all field documentation will be presented in the final report.
Five copies of the draft report will be delivered for review and comments. The City's review
and comments will be incorporated and 20 copies of the Final Report and 3 sets of
supporting appendices will be delivered.
The benefit to cost summary shall be prepared for the total project and also for each of the
major rehabilitation activities.
Project deliverables will include:
• Collection System Inventory
• Updated Field Maps of Collection System
• Project Database
• Prioritized Infiltration/Inflow Reduction Plan and Estimated Cost
• Recommendations for additional special services
C. ADDITIONAL SPECIAL SERVICES
Recommendations for any additional diagnostic testing of the collection system will be
provided. These may include T.V. inspection, now isolation, dye testing, etc.
In locations where defects are located on private laterals, a defect notification letter and
a map approved by the City will be forwarded to the residents notifying them of the defect
and instructing them to remedy the fault. These letters will be mailed certified mail / return
receipt requested. One copy of the letter and map will be sent to the City of Denton and
one copy retained for ADS files. No letters will be sent without City authorization.

RECOMMENDATION:
The Utilities Department Staff recommends approval of the request from Horne
Properties, inc. ("Developer") that the City participate in the over sizing of a waterline
in the Lowe's Addition. The cost for our participation is for an amount not to exceed
$19,033.00.
SUMMARY:
When a developer extends water or sewer lines into an area, the developer is required
by the City's Code of Ordinances to install water and sewer lines of sufficient size to
serve the new area. The City may request that the subject lines be oversized to serve the
general service area. The City may also participate in the cost of oversized water and
sewer lines in accordance with Section 34-118(b)(2). Horne Properties, Inc, is developing
the Lowe's Addition, a site north of Spencer and east of Loop 288. The development
requires an 8" water line, and the City is requesting that a 16" and a 12" water line be
installed to serve the general area. The 16" line will be extended approximately 310 feet
and the 12" line 1,029 feet.
BACKGROUND:
In order to serve the area containing this development and future developments in this
area, new 16 inch and 12 inch water lines are required. The proposed development
requires an 8" water line. Therefore, it is recommended that the City participate in the
over sizing from 8" to 16"and 8" to 12".
