Grapevine Reservoir from "R-1" Single Family Dwelling District
for the storage , possession, retail sale and serving of alcoholic
beverages, on premise consumption only, incidental to the opera-
tion of a restaurant as permitted under "C-1" Neighborhood
Business District.
Mayor Tate declared open the Public Hearing and introduced the
applicant, Mrs. Bettye Hart of Oak Grove Marina. Mrs. Hart
explained that she and her husband propose to open a steakhouse
at Oak Grove Marina in one of the existing buildings and desire
to serve mixed alcoholic beverages in that restaurant. She
stated that there was seating capacity for approximately forty
customers . Mrs . Hart commented that a state liquor license had
not yet been applied for pending the outcome of the zuni.ng applica-
tion.

for beer off premise consumption. Mrs . Hart answered yes , but
explained that the off premise permit dial not refer to the pro-
posed restaurant .
The City Manager assisted Mrs . Hart in a transparency presentation
showing the exact location of the property, a site plan of the pro-
posed restaurant , and a transparence showing the relationship of
the off premise consumption location to the proposed on premise
consumption site .
k'
Mayor Tate then stated that questions were in order from
the Planning & Zoning Commission.
Member Joe Kennedy asked if Mrs. Hart would explain what area
would be defined as the "premise" on which alcoholic beverages
would be sold. Mrs. Hart answered that the premise would in- E
elude the restaurant only.
Chairman Ted Ware pointed out that there- was a doorway in the
proposed restaurant that opened into a hallway, which in turn
opened into the location of off premise consumption. Mrs .
Hart explained that the door in the restaurant would be
permanently closed to comply with the state law prohibiting
off premise consumption and on premise consumption from the
same location.
Member Mike Davis asked if a person would be allowed to buy
packaged beer and take it into the restaurant for consumption.
Mrs. Hart answered no. The City Attorney explained that the
two operations would have to be handled separately.
Member Bill Cratree asked if one door is closed in the
restauranL, would there be enough exits to fulfill the re-
quirements of the city Fire Code . Mr. Jake Greener, Fire
Chief, stated that the safety code requires two exits. Council-
man Gideon commented that the walk-in refrigerator has a door
that opens into the restaurant and also a door that opens to
the outside . Mr. Greener stated that this would suffice as an
emergency exit.

would not be an opening between the cafe and the location of

parency site plan of the building.

The next order of business was for the City Council to dis-
cuss the proposal submitted by Mr. M. D. Smith of Southwest
Golf & Development Corporation concerning construction of the
golf course.
The City Manager explained that he had met with the Park
Board and the local Golf Association to determine their views
in relation to construction of the Golf Course. He commented
that both organizations recommended that the City build the
course themselves rather than enter into a proposal with a
third party. The City Manager stated that he had talked with
the Corps of Engineers and that they also expressed a desire
for the city to build the course. He further acknowledged
that corps representatives stated that if the City issued
bonds for the course, that they would extend the lease for
an additional thirty years from the date of the bond issue.
The City Manager also reported that the city's financial
advisor had stated that the City would be in a position to
issue some Certificate 's of Obligation. He further explained
that the architect had stated that he could have the final
plans prepared in less than thirty days . The project would
be ready to let for bids at that time. The City Manager
explained that it would be in the best interest of the City
to construct the north eighteen holes before the south
course was constructed. He also explained that the proposed
location of the pro shop was on private property and that
negotiations were now under way conce m ing that property.
Councilman Gideon stated that he was reluctant to say too much
since he was a new member of the Council. He commented however,
that the City of Grapevine had been voted wet by the majority of
the voters and that he would have to be in favor of the zoning.
He further stated that he felt the applicants willingness to
meet fire code regulations was admirable.
Councilman Florence stated that because of the nearness of the
City Park and because off premise alcoholic beverages were
already there, that he would not be in favor of the zoning change.
Mayor Tate commented that he waid be in favor of the application.
Councilman Oliver commented that he felt off premise cons.ump+ion
was more damaging than on premise and that off premise consump-
tion had already been approved.
Councilman Pirkle stated that personally he was not in favor of
alcoholic beverages but that on premise would be less harmful
than off premise.
Councilman Dalton made a motion to accept the recommendation of
the Planning & Zoning Commission and adopt the ordinance in
regard to zoning application Z76-10. The motion was seconded

Mayor Tate then commented that after meeting with the Park
Board and the Golf Association and studying the proposal, that
it was his belief that Southwest Golf and Development Corpora-
tion is extremely profit motivated. He further commented that
under the proposal from Southwest, the City would be taking
the same financial risks as if the City owned the course, and
would also be giving up some control. He then stated that it
was his recommendation to advise Southwest that the City is
considering building the course themselves , but not to rule
out the fact that in the event of problems , the city may still
be interested in a managment proposal. Mayor Tate then commented
that under any proposal the City would have to be responsible
to the architects in the .final design of the course and suggested
that .money be expended to hire Mr. Howard and possibly Mr. Byron
Nelson to come up with the final drawing so that estimates can
be obtained concerning the actual cost of the course. Mayor Tate
commented that the change in the core policy would make it im-
possible to extend the life of the lease through the cost sharing
program, but through City financing, the life of the course
could be extended another six years. The Mayor further stated
that at this time, the city has 640 acres, and extended develop-
ment planned, and that in his opinion it would not be wise to
give up management rights to the entire facility.
Councilman Pirkle stated that he concurred with the statements
made by the Mayor.
Councilman Dalton stated that if profit had to be guaranteed,
that the City should be the recipient of that profit.
Councilman Dunn asked what would the advantage be in building
the north portion of the course before the South 18 holes.
The City Manager answered that there would be less soil to move,
therefore, cutting construction costs. He also stated that the
top soil was better in that area and as a result, the grass
would grow faster and better.
Councilman Oliver stated that he concurred with the mayor's
statements and that he too, was in favor of the City building
the course.
There was little other discussion. Councilman Dunn made a
motion to authorize the City Manager to obtain a proposal.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Pirkle and prevailed by
the following vote:
Ayes: Tate, Gideon, Florence, Oliver, Dalton, Pirkle & Dunn
Nays: None

age of seven, provided the device is Coastguard
