REGULAR MEETING FEBRUARY 8;.1979 Cont'd
TO PLACE TEMPORARY BUILDING AT LITTLE ROAD, JUST SOUTH OF I-20
AND 287 INTERSECTION.
Mr. Clyde Teague and Mr. Robason, representatives from Century
21, presented their request for permission to place a temporary
double wide mobile home on a lot owned by Harvey properties.
They made this request to enable them to obtain a Franchise to
serve that area which is surrounded by Arlington Extra Territo-
rial Jurisdiction. Charles Kuykendall and George Lowery stated
they were opposed to granting the Century 21 request. Charles
Kuykendall made a motion to reject the request, seconded by
George Lowery. The motion carried with none opposed. Mr.
Robason asked if there was another way they could approach this
and possibly get the request approved. Wayne Winters recommend-
ed they go to Arlington and ask for temporary water and sewer
service, since Arlington would benefit more from this than
Kennedale.
Item No. 7: DEPARTMENTAL REPORTS.
Mayor Steve Radakovich asked the council if they would agree
to let Mel Justice, George Lowery and himself interview the
applicants for Police Chief, select one, then bring him before
the council for approval. The council said to go ahead with the
interviews.
Item No. 8: OPEN DISCUSSION.
Raymond Morris, Vice Chairman Planning and Zoning Board, advised
the council that the Zoning Board had a request to rezone some
property for apartments. He asked the council how they felt
about the apartments. He wanted to know this before the Zoning
Board considered the zoning change request. Mr. Morris said
the projected tax from the proposed 56 units would be $5,267.92.
Mel Justice said it would require 540 feet of water line to be
laid. It would cost approximately $11.00 per running foot for
a 6" line ($6,200.00). A 10" line would cost $13.,00 per running
foot ($8,000.00). Mayor Radakovich asked permission to complete
the budget to see how much money we have before making a deci-
sion. The council agreed for the Planning Zoning Board to go
ahead with the proposed zoning change request.
Wayne Winters made a motion to adjourn, seconded by George
Lowery. The motion carried with none opposed. The meeting
adjourned at 9:45 P. M.
