and set a public hearing da�e. He continued to advise that if
the Council was not desirous of the need to do that, or to con-
sider it at a later date, the public hearing should be closed and
the motion could reflect that it was not the Council ' s intent to �
increase the effective tax rate in excess of three per cent
(3�) as explained.

availability of water, and sewer, and of the applicants
intent to develop rental townhomes for a minimum fee of $500
,►�* per month. He further commented relative to traffic flow as

�, asset to the community rather than a liabilit�t requiring more
police protection. Mr. Kittle then reviewed the surrounding

support from the following: Circle Air Frieght; Profit by
Air; Burlington Northern Air Freight; W.T.C. Air Freight; Mel
Glazier, Carrollton, Texas; Emery Air Freight; and Airborne

----------------------------------------------
Mr. Mayor and Members of the City Council:
We would like to submit our objections to the
�,, proposed construction of a liquidified petroleum
` gas station by Northwest Butane Company on East
Wall Street.
�" First of all there is the matter of trucks going
in and out early in the morning. The last time
this proposal was submitted, the Butane Company
representative stated the trucks would be left
there overnight which would mean the uproar of
truck traffic would begin at 4 : 00 or 5 : 00 A.M.
Next we object ot the odor of propane. My parents
have used propane for years and I know for a fact
when propane tanks are filled you can smell it
and it has a very unpleasant odor.
Our main objection however, is simply the location
of such a business. As many accidents as this
country has had involving dangerous materials in
the last few years, we feel it would be very
irresponsible of the Council to take a chance
by allowing something as explosive as propane to
be stored next to one of the largest churches in
Grapevine or the residential neighborhood across
the street from it. A business of this sort
.�� should be located far away from such a populated
area.
"'�'" If this proposal is ratified by the Council, our
property values are sure to go down.
Thank you, ,
Larry & Wilmadean Sellers
