Requested by Mr. and Mrs. Jack Good.
Mrs. Good explained that she would like to sell two acres of land
that has a house and barns located at 1114 East Sublett Road.
Because it would take all of the road frontage for Lot 5 she was
required to replat the property so that the back portion of the
property would not be land locked...--DGe to the requirements of the
master plan she has dedicated a 20' right-of-way of Lot 5-R to
widen Sublett Road. Mrs. Good requested that no right-of-way
dedication be required on Lot 4-R until such time as the property
is developed. Mrs. Good stated that the city may want the
right-of-way before the land is developed, therefore the city would
have to purchase the land.
No other person spoke for or against the proposed replat.

rom o s , 1 and 7R2, Block 1, Pecan Acres Addition to Lots
6R1R, 7R1R and 7R2R, Block 1, Pecan Acres Addition, 100 Block of

Mrs. Kim Brimer.
Ho one spoke for or against the proposed replat.
Public Hearin Ho. 3 - To receive comments regarding abatement of
ew ope oa Requested by Mr. Sam Rives.
Mr. Jim Cannon stated that he was in the process of purchasing the
property from Mr. Sam Rives. He agreed to bring the electrical and
plumbing up to code. However, he did not want to raise the house
the required 18" to bring it up to code because it would tear the
house to pieces.
Ken Carlton, Building Inspector, explained that he sent a letter to
Mr. Rives on June 28th requesting that the house be repaired. The
house is 1/2 pier and beam and the floor joust are setting on the
ground. The added-on part of the house is built on a slab. The
house is below grade and Mr. Carlton agreed that to raise it would
tear it to pieces. It is in such bad shape and full of rotted
wood, it would be hard to fix it. He has been given since June to
repair the house and there has been no effort.
The house was built in 1945 with 960 sq. ft. and Tarrant Appraisal
District has valued the total property at 515,000.
Ted Rowe stated that the loan company called Wednesday, November
13th to remove the item from the agenda because bids were taken to
bring the house up to code and it would cost more than it would to
build another house. So they intended to bulldoze it and remove
it.
Mr. Cannon said it would take approximately 510,000 to 512,000 to
repair the house, but he needed a week to talk to a person about
the foundation. Mr. Cannon intended to fix the house enough to
live in a couple of years and then build a new one. There is also
another building on the lot that needs to be torn down.

Mr. Don Driver said that it was not legal for someone other than
the property owner to appeal the abatement, unless he has a
contract.
Mr. Cannon stated that he had faxed a contract to the loan company,
but hadn't received it back from them.
Mr. Don Driver stated that Mr. Cannon is not the legal owner and he
has no standing. The Council can declare the house substandard and
withhold taking action for a week or 10 days.
No other persons spoke for or against the abatement.
Motion by Tom Boone, second by Pete Kirkpatrick to adjourn the
public hearing at 7:58 PM. Motion carried unanimously.
