�
�
The first order of business was for the City Council and �
Planning & Zoning Commission to hold a public hearing for F
the purpose of considering the rezoning of 204 North Dooley
Street from "C-2" Community Business District to "L-I" €:
Light Industrial District. The applicant was Mr. Frank Lang �
of American Klegecell Corporation. Application Number Z76-18. �;
�
Mayor Tate declared open the public hearing and introduced ''
Mr. Richard Lang, General Manager of Klegecell Corporation. �-
i:
Mr. Lang explained that the material his firm manufactured �
was Klegecell foam, a wholesale vinyl core material. He added �
that future plans included building a structure similar to a �
woodworking facility for the purpose of making sandwich panels, �
a more finished product. Mr. Lang explained that the product �
is being exported to numerous foreign countries as well as
being sold in the United States . He added that the proximity �
to the airport would be an important convenience to Klegecell
Corp `"
. �
The City Manager then pointed out the location of the property
in question.
,
j Councilman Dunn asked how many employees the firm anticipated }
hiring within the next year. Mr. Lang answered approximately r:
one hundred. �
t
Planning & Zoning Member, Harlen Joyce asked if there would be y
any dust, fumes or other elements that could cause injury. Mr. £
1 Lang answered that there would be dust, but that it would
� enter a dust collection system, be sacked in plastic bags, and �
� sold as insulation. He added that there were no toxic elements �
'1 involved that would be detremental to health. �
1
�
�
�
t
�
�
�
�
�
� Member Joe Kennedy asked what plans were expected for the second
building to be constructed. Mr. Lang answered that the foam
� would be made into a sandwich panel, with wood, aluminum, steel
or metal on each side which would produce a very lightweight
structural panel. He added that such panels are presently
being sold for use in airplanes .
Councilman Florence asked if any excess noise was expected.
} Mr. Lang answered that the only noise would be from a wood
�� saw but noted that it would be enclosed in a sound proof room.
Councilman Dalton asked if the foam was flamable. Mr. Lan
� 9
i answered no, that the foam was filled with CO 2 and would only
i vaporize.
�
� Mayor Tate asked if there were any guests present who wished
to speak for or against the application. There were none.
The City Secretary reported that she had not received any
correspondence either for or against the application.
Member Joe Kennedy made a motion to close the Planning &
� Zoning portion of the Public Hearing. The motion was seconded
i
by Member Harlen Joyce and prevailed by the following vote:
� Ayes: Ware, Joyce, Kennedy, Jones and Davis
'� Nays: None
Absent: Crabtree
There being no further questions from the Council, Councilman
Pirkle made a motion to close the Council �s portion of the Public
Hearing. His motion was seconded by Councilman Dunn and pre-
vailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Tate, F'lorence, Oliver, Dalton, Pirkle and Dunn � :
Nays: None
Absent: Gideon
The next order of business was for the City Council and Planning
& Zoning Commission to hold a public hearing for the purpose
of considering the rezoning of the following two tracts of land:
1. A 2.36 acre tract out of the H. Decker Survey f rom
"R-3" Multi-family Dwelling to "C-2" Community
Business District.
2. A 3.42 acre tract out of the 6a. D. Shepherd and H.
Decker Surveys from "R-2" Two-family Dwelling District
to "R-3" Multi-family Dwelling District.
The applicant was Larry F. Lightner.
Mayor Tate declared open the Public Hearing on Zoning Applica-
tion Z76-19.
The City Manager then described the location of the property
in question.
The presentation was then made by Mr. George Christian on behalf
of the applicant. Mr. Christian explained that he felt the
zoning should be granted because the change would not increase
the overall density of the community that is developing in that
section of the city. He added that the zoning would be logical
for the area and would help to meet the needs of the people.
He explained that the 3.42 acre tract is presently zoned for
duplex construction but is only 150 feet wide and 1050 feet deep.
He added that it joined a piece of property to the north that is
already zoned multi-family. He explained that this would then
make a multi-family tract of approximately ten acres.
�
�
�
�� He then stated that the 2.36 acre tract is similarly in an
isolated position. He explained that it is currently zoned �
� Multi-family in an area surrounded by a church, school, and
single family dwelling. He added that the lot was small
trianular shaped, and would be best suited for commercial ;`
property.
�
Member Harlen Joyce asked if there were any specific plans G
for the commercial property. Mr. Christian answered that no �
definite plans had been made. �
Mayor Tate asked if there were any guests present who wished
to speak for or against the application. Mr. Joe Box asked
permission to speak on behalf of the D.E. Box Estate. Mr.
Box explained that the 2.36 acre tract being considered joined =
approximately 137 acres to the south and west that was owned w
' by the Box Estate. He then stated that because of the con- �
� figuration of the lot in question and its proximity to his �
property, he fe3.t that a commercial business on that site (;
would decrease the value of the estate property. He also p
expressed concern that there were no definite plans for a �
specific commercial business at the present time. �'
[
Mr. Joe Wright, citizen, commented that he would like to �
speak in favor of the "R-3" zoning for the 3.42 acre tract. �;
He added that he felt a zoning of "C-2�� was too heavy for the ;
2.36 acre tract and commented that "C-1" might be a more �
suitable zoning for that property. t;
r
�
The City Secretary stated that she had not received any k
opposition to the zoning request concerning either piece of �'
property. �`
€
Mr. Christian commented in regard to Mr. Box�s statement, that `
he felt even though a piece of property was zoned commercial, �
the City still had control over the type business, building
construction, and fencing. �
€
Member Harlen Joyce commented that it would be more practical `
to ask for commercial zoning after a decision had been made as i
to what type business would be constructed on the site. Mr. ;;
Christian answered that that would be best for the surrounding k
property owners of today, but might not necessarily meet the �
F
needs of the many homes in the area that will need to be served �
by commercial property. Mr. Christian then pointed out that �
t
� the piece of property in question needed to be pictured as a E
potential major intersection. He acknowledged that according F
F
to the City's Master Plan, a road would pass through that area c
connecting Hwy. 157 to Hwy. 121. `
C'
Councilman Dunn stated that it needed to be taken into considera- �
tion that there would soon be approximately 400 homes in that
area, with virtually no commercial conveniences. �
There was little other discussion. Member Mike Davis made a p
motion to close the Planning & Zoning �s portion of the Public �
Hearing. The motion was seconded by Member Harlen Joyce and �
prevailed by the following vote:
Ayes: Ware, Kennedy, Joyce, Jones and D�.,vis
Nays: None
_�
Absent: Crabtree
Councilman Oliver then made a motion to close the Council�s
portion of the Public Hearing. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Dalton and prevailed by the following vote:

� Mayor Tate then announced that the Council would take a short
� recess and reconvene in the Council Chambers. He added that the
� Planning & Zoning Commission would reconvene in the Conference
� Room to discuss further agenda business.
The next order of business was for the City Council to hold a
Public Hearing for the purpose of the analyzation of rates,
service, and other related matters of Tri-County Electric Corp.
Mayor Tate explained that several months prior to this meeting,
the Council heard complaints from numerous customers of Tri-County
Electric. He stated that during that time, Tri-County was
negotiating with TP&L for the sale of their assets within the City.
He added that it was his understanding that those negotiations
had ceased. He stated that there were various matters in which
the council felt it has prerogative to establish in its relation-
ship with Tri-County. He added that complaints have been re-
ceived from several Tri-County customers and that was the purpose
of the Pulbic Hearing.
! The City Manager introduced Mr. Johnny Ammons, the General
Manager of Tri-County Electric. Mr. Ammons commented that the
negotiations with TP&L had not been completed. He added that
� there were a number of items that wou]d have to be considered
� in the event Tri-County sold to TP&L. He explained that Tri-County
borrowed money from the Rural Electric Administration, a govern-
' ment agen�cy, and Consumers Finance Corporation. He added that
� Tri-County had mortgages with those two firms and that there were
certain conditions written into those contracts. He stated that
his attorney was preparing papers in regard to that matter which
would be presented to the Board of Directors of Tri-County
Electric during a meeting on December 7, 1976. He added that at
that time the Board of Directors would determine whether or not
to continue negotiations with TP&L.
Mr. Ammons explained that the major complaint from Grapevine
customers had been in regard to the fuel clause which was a
result of the present energy crisis.
Mayor Tate asked if Tri-County manufactured any fuel, or if it
was purchased. Mr. Ammons answered that all of their power was
purchased.
The Mayor then stated that in talking with some Tri-County custo-
mers , there had apparently been a substantial increase in the
fuel adjustment. He asked Mr. Ammons if there was any reason for
a recent increase. Mr. Ammons answered that there had not been
an increase in the last several months , but that there had been
during the past two or three years.
Mayor Tate then asked if Tri-County had made any comparison of
the rates, including the fuel adjustments, with the average home-
owner in the Grapevine area that might compare to a similar bill
for service rendered by TP&L. Mr. Ammons answered that they had
not.
Mayor Tate asked if there was a pass through on the fuel clause
or if there was a markup on it. Mr. Ammons answered that it was
a complete pass through that was controlled by the Texas Utility
Commission. f...
Mayor Tate asked if Mr. Ammons was �.n a positi on to state what
Tri-County�s future would be in Grapevine in the event they did
not decide to sell their assets to TP&L. Mr. Ammons answered
that because of the State Utility Commission, he did not know
what the future of Tri-County might be.
Mayor Tate asked how many customers Tri-County was serving in
the City of Grapevine. Mr. Ammons answered approximately 40.
�
�
� The Mayor asked if Tri-County planned to expand its operation
� in Grapevine in the future. Mr. Ammons answered that they would
not be able to because of lack of a franchise.
Councilman Florence asked where the power came from that served ='
Grapevine customers. Mr. Ammons stated that they were a member
of the Brazos Power System and bought their power f rom them
through various sub stations.
Councilman Florence then asked where the nearest service �'
representative was located for Grapevine customers. Mr. Ammons C
� answered that there was a sub-office in Keller. �;
i
�:
Councilman Florence asked if Tri-County Electric was a profit �
making organization with dividends. Mr. Ammons answered that r
there were no dividends of any kind. He added that Tri-County �;
has a Capital Credit System which was initiated by Internal ;
Revenue Service whereby when there was no tonger a direct �
need for profit funds, that it was returned to customers in the
form of capital credit refunds . �
Mayor Tate asked if Tri-County Electric would object to un- �
satisfied customers being served by TP&L. Mr. Ammons commented E
that he felt the people Tri-County Electric had borrowed money �
from would object. Mayor Tate commented that it appeared that �
it was not a voluntary cooperative, but that the Tri-County �
customers are in essence a captive group. 4
� �
Councilman Dunn asked Mr. Ammons if he would make some statement �
regarding the failure of his firm to pay the 2� utility rental �
charge required by the City of Grapevine. Mr. Ammons explained �
that this occurred when Tri-County Electric was brought into �
the city as an annexed territory. He added that a franchise was �
requested, and not granted. He acknowledged that it was his k
understanding that if a company did not have a franchise, it �
owed the city nothing. He explained that if that was in error, !:
the Tri-County Electric attorney would be instructed to in- 4!
vestigate the matter. �
Mayor Tate then introduced Mr. P. R. Yoes , resident of Indian �'
Hills Mobil Home Park and Tri-County Electric customer. Mr. �
Yoes explained in detail the constant increase in his electric �
� statement over the past several months. He expressed a lack �;
� of cooperation f rom Tri-County in regard to consideration of the r
large increase. �
1
Mr. Jack Kemp, resident of Indian Hills Mobil Home Park and Tri- �
County customer stated he had made a comparison which showed the �
Tri-County rates were higher than neighboring utility companies. �
He also expressed concern that his meter was not being read. �
Mr. Ralph Anderson, citizen, asked Mr. Ammons what part of their �
� electric service was fuel cost. Mr. Ammons answered that the
fuel adjustment was the total cost of fuel, plus some of the
total cost of the increase f rom the power company when power
was purchased. t
jThere was little other discussion. Mayor Tate commented that
� Mr. Yoes bill was grossly too high. He added that there was too
large a difference in TP&L rates and Tri-County rates consider- �
ing the difference in service, cooperation, and facilities . He "'
commented that the same problem had been reoccuring for several ''
; years. and that it was his hope that the matter could be solved "
� in the near future. He added that it was his desire that when
� the Board of Directors of Tri-County met on December 7th, that
they would reach a decision to begin negotiations with TP&L to
� sell their facilities so that the forty customers served by Tri-
� County could buy their electric service on the same basis as other
Grapevine citizens. He then stated th� the Utility Committee
would meet in the near future to discuss the matter further.

� Councilman Dunn then asked if the Planning & Zoning Commission
� considered granting "C-1" rather than the requested "C-2" on

therefore, the Planning & Zoning Commission could not recommend
a "C-1" zoning. Mr. Christian commented that if he and Mr.

� would have requested "C-2" or "C-1" , at the option of the
� Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council.
