Mr. Starnes then reviewed the location of the property in question. He stated that future plans of the owner were to develop�; something on the property -� that would necessitate "C-2" zoning. He added that specific plans were not available at the present time. Mr. Starnes commented that because of housing developments in the immediate area, the corner of Dove Road and Park Baulevard would soon be a high density intersection and would be a proper location for "C-2" zoning. Mr. Starnes stated that the future land use map of the City specified "C-2" zoning for that praperty. Chairman Ted Ware asked if there were any questions from members � � �. e s � of the Planning & Zoning Commission. Member Joe Kennedy asked � > who owned the property in question. Mr. Starnes answered that � the sale to Mr. Tate had not been finalized and the present � owner was Mr. John Simmons . There were no further� questions from the Planning & Zoning Commission.

None �� i 4 ,�, Absent : Councilman Florence The next order of business was to recognize members of the � assembly who wished to speak regarding matters pertaining to city business . Mr. Leonard Hall, Jr. , 2220 Forest Hill, Grapevine, stated that he was concerned that the four way stop signs at the intersection of Kimba3l Road and Dove Road had been replaced by a two way stop with the right-of- way on Kimball Road. Mr. Hall recommended that a caution light i; � be placed at that intersection. He added that traffic would be a ! worse during the summer months because of the use of the lake. Mr. Hall commented that he did not know why a change was made at that intersection, but added that something needed to be done before there was a serious accident. City Manager Floy Ezell explained that the City had a traffic survey made by a consulting firm from Houston. He added that � the firm surveyed the entire city and made recommendations and suggestions regarding various intersections. He further commented that half the intersection of Kimball and Dove Road was in the city limits of Southlake. He explained that city officials of ' Southlake �aere cantacted, and were in agreement to accept the � recommendation of the consuitants. He added that. because there was so much citizen concern, both Southlake and Grape- vine City Councils had decided to reconsider their decision and that the item would be placed on the agenda for the next council meeting. The next order of business was for the City Council to consider approval of the lease agreement with Lessl Lifts of America, (cable ski firm) . Park and Recreation Director, Bob Hart ex- plained that the facility would not be located at McPhearson Slough as previously planned because of the size of the area and the traffic congestion problem that might arise. He acknowledged that plans were ta locate .the ski cable in Oak � Grove Park north of the ballpark area. He explained that the j City was already in the process of leasing that area from the i Corp of Engineers, therefore, it would not be necessary to request a special lease just for the ski facility. , Councilman Dunn asked if. there were any haus� boats or marinas in the area. • Me. Hart answered no. Mr. Hart expl�ined that the adjoining area would be developed into a park in the future and � stated that the ski cable facility would complement that develop- ' ment. Councilman Oliver asked how far the • facility would extend into the lake. Jodi Williams, representing the firm, answered that it depended on the design, but that it could extend out a� little as three-hundred feet. Councilman Oliver then asked what type af _precauti�ans would l�e taken to prevent boats from �: � s � entering the area. Mr. Williams acknowledged that 'definite plans had not been made, but that there would be some type of rope or buoy. The Mayor asked when the lease with the Corp of Engineers would be finalized. The City Attorney answered that he did not have that information, but added that it was his recommendation that final approval of the lease agreement be simultaneous with the Corp. Mr. Hart explained that the Fort Worth District Office of the Corp is allowed to issue five year permits that could be used initially, pending lease approval from Washington. The City Attorney stated that everything in the sublease was subject to approval by the Corp. He added that the City needed to have whatever the Corp was going to issue on a temporary basis in hand before final execution a� the contract. t Mayor Tate commented that he felt the liability insurance figure needed to be increased. City Attorney John Boyle agreed that there needed to be more than $300,000 coverage. Mayor Tate asked how that change could be handled. The City Attorney answered that the City Manager and the lessee could obtain information in that regard from insurance specialists. i He added that the lessee and the Corp were in agreement with � the $300, 000 limits, but that he felt it should be more. Mayor Tate stated that he felt $500, 000 to $1,000,000 coverage could be obtained without too much of a problem and certainly it would be in the best interest of the city. Mayor Tate asked if the proposed contract was in agreement with the ski firm. Mr. Williams answered that he would like an opportunity to review it with his attorney. The Mayor asked the City Attorney if the Council could approve the lease subject to the Corp permit, and delegate to the City ! Manager the negotiations of the insurance. The City Attorney � answered yes , and added that the Cauncil could review the £ � basic provisions in detail, and then go forward with approval, � � with final execution subject to the insurance being worked out � � and subject to the permit being received from the Corp. i � � ' Councilman Dunn made a m�tion to authorize the City Manager to � i enact the proposed lease subject to approval from the other � parties involved, subject to the permit from the Corp, and i ; subject to a solution regarding the insurance requirement.

The term expires in April, 1977. The next order of business was for the City Council to discuss possible amendments to provisions of the Utility Ordinance. Mayor Tate stated that he had asked for this item to be placed on the agenda because he was concerned about the provision that provided that a fee of 2% of the development cost be charged to the contractor by the City. He acknowledged that this obviously 3 � � {: � � r € � was a carryover of some provisions that were adopted in 1970 that � were never utilized. He advised that he did nat feel the Council � was aware of this provision when the Utility Ordinance was � amended in September, 1976. He added that the 2/ could amount ;: to a $4,000 or,/�5, 000 fee in an average subdivision. He commented � that he felt the City should make an attempt to-encourage �' s single family development and since the City was benefited by � the taxes from that construction that the provision created y an unreasonable surtax on the developer. � Z C f The City Manager recommended that an amendment also be made € to change the fee for installing and connecting a water meter and meter box from $125.00 to $75.00.
