The Invocation was given by CounciLnan Dalton. Mayor Tate declared open the Public Hearing on an application by John W. McNary to move a Lindal Cedar Home to Lot �+1, Shorecrest Acres. The location of the lot was determined on the map and overhead projector. Mr. McNary came forward and gave a brief history of the home while pictures of the home were distributed to the members of the Council. The City Attorney explained what the proceedure was for the Council to take as described under the newly enactEd Ordinance No. 7�+-27. The Mayor then asked for any members in the audience that wished to speak for or against the application to be recognized: A.Carol Rumsey was recognized and questioned the exact location of the lot. B.Joe Kennedy was then recognized and he questioned the ownership of the property involved and also questioned Mr. McNary about the possibilities of this home becoming a rental. ' 1 C.Linda Blackwell was then recognized and she questioned the -possibilities of this becoming a rental and also questioned if the two-s�tory house � could be violating•;ce.rtain deed restrictions. D.Tommy Alexander was then recognized`�and he stated that he felt that strict enforcement of our present ordinances would eliminate the objections of persons moving into the area. His main concern was enforcement of our grass�.�nd weed ordinance. Mr. McNary stated that he would indeed maintain the property. There being no f'urther statements for or against the application, Councilinan Eidson made a motion to close the public hearing. Councilwoman Conine seconded � the motion and the motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Tate, Conine� Dalton, Dilg, D'lu.rphy� Eidson Noes; None Absent: Pittard - Mayor Tate declared the Public Hearing on the house moving application closed. � The Mayor then called for a discussion of the application by the members of the Council. Councilman Murphy stated that he lives in the area where the lot in question_ is located and that he would lean toward approving the application `�r =because he felt the house would be better than nothing on the lot. Councilman Dilg felt the value of the house would not degrade the area and felt that it should be approved because we are encouraging new residents for the City. Councilman Eidson felt that a more permanent type of residence would enhance the area. Mayor Tate felt the same as Councilman Eidson. Councilman Dalton felt that something on the lot was better than nothing but that he was rather neutral. Councilman Eidson then made a motion to d�sapprove the application.

The Mayor called for any persons that desired to speak for or against the proposed ordinance to be reco�nizedt A.Mx. Jay Stockstill was recognized and he felt that the new ordinance was too complieated and that a simpler ordinance be put into effect. B.Mrs. Jess Stockstill was then reco�nized and shE also felt that the ordinance was too restrictive and she urged that the ordinance not be approved in its present form. C.Mx. A. J. Harper was then reco�nized and he felt tha� each hunter ' should be responsible for himself and his actions, that a man should be able to zero in his own r�fle at a shouting range� and that an ordinance could be written to regula.te the size of sho� to be used in shotguns in order to m�,ke them less lethal or dama,gin�. D.Mrs. Ruth Supthen was then recognized and she felt that the shooting range should be ab?�: to operate during the daylight hours only but that an ordinance be passed as soon as possible. E.(3erald Thompson was then recogniz�d and Yii� fel� that the ordinance should only prohibit the discharges of a gun within certain distances of a buildin� as long as the �un is�'�°discharged toward the building. F.Mr. Larry Supthen was then reco�nized and� he felt that the shooting range was the "hang up" in getting an enforceable ordinance and �hat -an ordinance should be made now, acting on the shooting ran�e at 'a later date. The Mayor then :made a shor'E summary of the consensus of the majority of the people involved. Councilman Dilg made a motion to close the Public Hearing on the praposed gun ordinance.

Council- man Eidson stated that he felt that a place should be provided to shoot� that certain areas of the City shoul�d not be restrictive to hunters, and that .22 , caliber rifles and air guns were his ,biggest concern. He also felt that the subject needs more study and he recognized that we aorely �teed an enforceable gun ordinance. Councilman Dilg stated tha,t a gun ordinance is needed and he expressed to the Stockstills that none of this discussion is a reflection on the type of business that they operate. He further stated that he felt young, unsupervised persons should not be allowed to carry a gun. Councilman Murpk�y stated that he was in concurrence with Councilman Dilg. He then made a motion to have the Ci�y Attorney draft an ordinance prohibiting the discharging of rifles or air guns within the City of Grapevine except in the desi�nated area of a shooting range� and that ar�y person dischargin� a gun in certa�n "huntable" areas of the City must have written permission from any property owners on which ar�y projectile would fa]1 on or over their property; and that only shot�uns could be used for hunting� restricting '�he size of shot that can be used to shot no larger than size �6; and wous.d include any ,State Statutes.

Alternate 1 was a surface treatment using 2 course penetration paving and alter- nate 2 was a pavement of 12" Type "C" hot mix asphaltic concrete. As can be seen by the bid tabulation, Alternate 2 is only ��+0.00 higher than Alter- n,ate l. A higher quality pavement can be obtained from HMAC than penetration and from an En�ineering and main�enance stan dpoint, I fe�l that the City should e�nsider the use of HMAC as the surfacing material. I hereby recommend that the City of Grapevine award the construction contract on the above mentioned project to Austin Road Compaz�y using Alternate 2 and. in the amount of $58,158•3�+• If any questions should arise, please feel free to call on me.
