Mr. Hudspeth was not present at the meeting.
B. The Council received a citizen report from Michael Birlin
regarding shifting political power to Denton.
Mr. Birlin stated that he was running for the Texas House of
Representatives-District 65 as a write-in candidate. He was
seeking the candidacy as the incumbent was not serving the
interests of the District and especially the city of Denton. The
position was one of service to the people and not for oneself. His
campaign was about saving education, jobs and reforming insurance.
C. The Council received a citizen report from Dorris
Ebrahimi regarding opening a driveway at 406 N. Bell.
Ms. Ebrahimi was not present at the meeting.
4. Public Hearings
A. The Council held a public hearing and considered adoption
of an ordinance amending Sections 35-76 and 35-77 of the Code of
ordinances to allow temporary uses on a permit basis. (The
Planning and zoning Commission recommended approval, 5-0.)
Harry Persuad, Senior Planner, stated that this ordinance
authorized the Building official to permit certain temporary uses.
It would allow the permitting of events of public interest for 21
days such as concerts, carnivals, circuses. The ordinance would
also allow the Building official to issue a permit for christmas
tree sales and the establishment of temporary concrete and asphalt
hatching plants in all residential districts. The ordinance would
adopt certain provisions from the Texas Natural Resources
Conservation Commission. Those applicants would have to furnish
the City a letter indicating that they had met all requirements and
exempting them from TNRCC requirements.
The Mayor opened the public hearing.
Wayne Allen stated that he was in favor of the proposal. This was
an appropriate time to address the issue of temporary use permits
as there currently was no provision for such events.
The Mayor closed the public hearing.
Council Member Cott stated that he disagreed with the proposed
ordinance because of the language dealing with a concrete/asphalt
plant. He could not see an asphalt plant on residential property.
Persuad stated that they had received information from individuals
in this industry who indicated that these plants were very
expensive and would not want them on one site for a long period of
244

March 5, 1996
Page 3
time. The plants were only there to do a project and then removed.
It was felt that it was better to do that than to have the trucks
continually coming and leaving the construction site. These plants
were allowed by the TNRCC which had an enforcement mechanism for
controlling these plants. This would help promote construction
within the City with help from the State with enforcement.
Council Member Cott stated that several years ago there was a
proposal to put a batch plant on Highway 380. He did not want such
a plant near his home.
Persuad stated that these plants would not be allowed on a
permanent basis. The plant permitted under the temporary
regulation could only provide materials for that one project and
not for another project. It was not intended to be permanent in
any way or to facilitate development on another site. The
ordinance provided the Building Official with the authority to
revoke a permit if information on the application was not accurate.
Council Member Miller stated that the ordinance would still require
an exception to the noise ordinance and an exception for hours of
operation for those events such as a carnival.
Persuad replied correct and that a batch plant would still have to
comply with the construction ordinance. The exception to the noise
ordinance would still have to be approved.
The following ordinance was considered:
NO. 96-047
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS AMENDING SECTIONS
35-76 AND 35-77 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF
DENTON, TEXAS, AND CREATING DIVISION SIX OF ARTICLE III OF
CHAPTER 35 TO ALLOW TEMPORARY USES ON A PERMIT BASIS;
PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; PROVIDING FOR A PENALTY IN
THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF $2,000.00 FOR VIOLATIONS THEREOF; AND
DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Young motioned, Krueger seconded to adopt the ordinance.
Mayor Pro Tem Biles stated that there were two aspects of this
proposal. One was to have a mechanism in place to streamline the
process for a temporary use permit. The temporary use for a
concrete/asphalt batch plant would eliminate the need to transport
the materials from miles away and having the very heavy trucks
possibly damage the city streets.
Council Member Brock asked about the special events section which
indicated a maximum duration of the permit. She asked how that
would effect events on the Square in which certain events were on-

going. Would Main Street have to get a permit everytime they had
an event.
Persuad stated that the Square was in the Central Business District
and based on the current zoning ordinance provision, outdoor
commercial amusements were allowed in the CBD. The ordinance in no
way effected the regularity or number of events in the CBD. The
current zoning provisions allowed, by right, commercial amusements
in the Central Business District.
On roll vote of the motion to adopt the ordinance, Miller "aye",
Young "aye", Cott "nay", Krueger "aye", Brock "aye", Biles "aye",
and Mayor Castleberry "aye". Motion carried with a 6-1 vote.
B. The Council held a public hearingand considered adoption
of an ordinance rezoning 5.4912 acres from the Single Family 7 (SF-
7) and Multi-Family 1 (MF-1) zoning districts and use
classifications to the Light Industrial Conditioned (LI[c]) zoning
district and use classification. The subject property was located
on the south side of McKinney Street, approximately 1,000 feet west
of Woodrow Lane. (The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended
approval, 5-0.)
Frank Robbins, Director for Planning and Development, stated that
this was an expansion of the zoning which was in the area since
1989. A legal opinion presented to the Council in 1992 stated that
the City could not prevent the County from making the relocation or
using the property for any other County purposes unless the City
could show that use of the property would be unreasonable. The
Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that the use would be
reasonable for the County's court complex and recommended approval.
The Mayor opened the public hearing.
No one spoke during the public hearing.
The Mayor closed the public hearing.
The following ordinance was considered:
NO. 96-048
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF DENTON, TEXAS, PROVIDING FOR A
CHANGE FROM THE SINGLE FAMILY 7 (SF-7) AND MULTI-FAMILY 1 (MF-

Howard Martin, Director of Environmental Services,'stated that this
ordinance would revise the existing fees at the Denton Municipal
Laboratory. The City owned and operated a State certified
bacteriological laboratory to monitor water quality and to perform
regulatory compliance for the Denton water system. In addition,
the laboratory performed bacteriological testing for a number of
smaller water systems in the areaw Currently the laboratory was
performing approximately 2,000 s~mples for other entities. The
current fees had recovered the full cost of the service until
January when the State revised its requirements which increased
costs on staff time and preparation. The revision to the fees was
needed in order to cover the full cost of the service. The
proposed ordinance would establish coliform analysis at $15 per
sample, fecal coliform at $25 per sample and total coliform at $35
per sample. It also established a charge for record search
services. The Public Utilities Board recommended approval.

other committee members were selected by the organizations they
were representing. She was concerned about what was happening with
the committee. She asked why the Council's choices were more

Mayor Pro Tem Biles stated that there was an incorrect perception
that Council Members were substituting their judgement for the
neighborhoods and placed their nominees in a position which was
higher or better compared to the other names. Three of the seven
suggested members were nominated. Council had an obligation to do
what was best for the City. For every single committee, Council
received several names of individuals to serve. The person he
nominated also agreed to make a commitment to serve on the
committee. As an elected official, he exercised what he was
elected to do and had to make a decision. It was not part of
anything going on behind the scenes and he was not aware of
anything of such a nature. Regardless of a vote for or against any
nominations, he was exercising that what he had been charged to do
and that was to make a decision and that decision would be in the
best interest of District Three and for the City of Denton.
Mayor Castleberry stated that Council would vote on the
nominations.
Council Member Krueger stated that Council decided at the last
meeting that nominations would be at this meeting and voting would
be at the next meeting.
