I. Old Business
a. Gary Cooper - Consideration of zoning change from District
"A" Single Family to "B" Multi Family on the Spring Branch Sub-
division. Gary Cooper stated he preferred to stay with his original
plans instead of an alternate proposal.
Open Discussion
Gary Bell presented a petition to the Board and stated that the
citizens did not want high denisty houses in the area for the
following reasons:
1. Roads can't handle the traffic
2. The water system can't handle an increase in people
3. Schools will be over crowded
He asked the Board to take into consideration the feelings of
the citizens.
S. M. Love said the schools can handle more students and after
as much money as has been spent, the water supply should be
adequate. He also stated that the Pine Meadow Duplexes are
well built.
Fred Smith from the Chamber of Commerce stated that Kennedale
needs to grow.
Minnie Otis didn't understand how less people would be in duplexes
instead of single family homes. Mr. Cooper stated the reason for
duplexes is to put more money into living area instead of investing
money for a lot.
Steve Mahail was concerned with too many cars parked on the streets.
Doyle Riley stated that there has not been any growth in Kennedale
and we need it.
Pam Webster's main concern was low income people moving into the
Spring Branch Subdivision.
Marlin Eudy asked how many families per acre. Gary Cooper stated
51/2 families.
Elaine Pfitzner was concerned about the width of Bowman Springs
Road.
