RE: Zoning Application ##Z 75-13
E. A. LaFontaine, Applicant
A. F. Jones, Owner t
Dear Sir:
I wish to register a vigorous protest against the above named
Application for a Specific Use Permit for the sale of alcoholic
beverages on this property which is within 200 feet of the Lot
which I own on Lake Grapevine.
I am not a teetotaler, but the grant of this Application can do F`
nothing but damage to the surrounding properties, including my g
Lot.
a
I respectfully pray that the Application be denied.
k
Very truly yours,
/s/ F. W. Bartlett, Jr.

Commissioner Ted Ware then requested additional information be given
about the Oak Grove Park Project. The City Manager then introduced a
copy of the Master Plan - Oak Grove Park and explained in detail the
proposed facilities and location of same. Mayor Tate then explained
that this was a proposal and that the Council had taken no action on
NOW
it. There was then a short discussion of a security system and fencing
that would be placed around the Park. It was determined that the roads
turning east and west off Dove Loop Road within the proposed park
complex could have gates but the area from Dove Loop Road to the lake
would be public access because of the private property in this area;
i
and therefore the store would not be located within the park. The
Planning & Zoning Commission then took the following action: {

ment. Questions were now in order from the Planning & Zoning Commission.

could not limit what a person could purchase. He further stated that he
would not serve alcoholic beverages to an intoxicated individual and that
his desire was to retain his family atmosphere. Member Conrad Heede '

City Council of Grapevine
City of Grapevine, Texas
Gentlemen:
I am the owner of Lots B and C of Block 8 revised of the Starr
Addition. This is the location of the building accupied by
Leslie Smith of Leslie ' s Fine Foods as tenant.
Mr. Smith has applied for zoning to sell liquor by the Drink
on these premises. He has been operating this business at
this location since December of 1974 and many improvements in
furnishings and decor has been made as well as a major upgrading
of food service. I feel that the addition of the sale of beer
and mixed drinks would be an asset to the city and heartily
endorse his application.
Sincerely,
/s/ Millard J. Dilg
MILLARD J. DILG

There was then a short discussion of the ordinance requiring that 50%
of the gross sales be from food items. Mr. Smith was informed that he

then indicated the locations of the nine snack bars:

Dear Mr. Di Palma: ;
The Dallas-Fort Worth Regional Airport Board consents to
Dobbs Houses' engaging in the sale of beer for off-premise
I consumption through its various Snack Bars located in the
Dallas-Fort Worth Airport facilities. In our view, such sale
i does not constitute a violation of any agreement between the
Dallas-Fort Worth Regional Airport Board and Dobbs Houses,
so long as such sales are made in compliance with applicable
governmental laws.
Accordingly, Dobbs Houses, Inc. is hereby authorized to pursue
a change in zoning with the City of Grapevine to permit the sale of
beer for off-premise consumption and to do all appropriate acts in
connection therewith.
Sincerely,

Mayor Tate then stated that Donnie Kaker, Chairman of the Park Board
had requested to appear before the Council to discuss that board.
Mr. Kaker came forward and introduced two other members of the Park Board
that were present in the assembly: Jeannie McAfferty and Gerald Thompson.
Mr. Kaker stated that members of the Park Board had received numerous
complaints about the park procedures; and to date, the Park Board has
been ineffectual because they are uncertain about their scope of authority.
Mr. Kaker stated that the Board would like to know what authority they have
in establishing guidelines and policies and also what authority they have
in seeing that these things are carried out by the Parks & Recreation
Department. He further stated that the Board needs to know their position
as that they can establish relationships with the Council and the Parks
and Recreation Department. The City Attorney stated that the Park Board
could act in an advisory capacity to the City Council only. He then

they are carried out. Councilman Dalton stated that there had been a
breakdown in communications between the Council and the Board and that

Board and stated that the original intent of the ordinance was to give

Council. Mr. Kaker then invited any members of the City Council to be

i
The next order of business was for the City Council to hold a Public
Hearing on a rate increase request made by Texas Power & Light Company;
a Mr. Charles Page to appear before the Council to make that presentation.
Mayor Tate declared the Public Hearing open and introduced Mr. Charles R
Page, District Manager of Texas Power & Light Company. Mr. Page made
a presentation and based the rate increase request around the past 18 `
months. The presentation was made in three parts :
1. fuel costs
2. construction costs
3. financing
Following is a short summary of those three topics:
1. Fuel Costs - Mr. Page made a slide presentation showing the
increase of natural gas and fuel oil prices over the past few years. R
} One example was given in which the cost of fuel oil in 1954 was 6.5� f
{ per million BTU and the cost in 1975 was 81.76, per million BTU.
1
Because of the increase of fuel, the cost is passed on to the consumer
through the fuel adjustment clause. Mr. Page stated that this was
their first request - that the touch-off point on this fuel adjustment
clause be increased from 20G to 70<-. He further stated that the 70�
j figure would be a + or - figure; should the cost of fuel drop below
70� then that cost would be subtracted from the bill. Also in this
request, the company is requesting to go from a three month running
a
average to a one month running average. He also pointed out that the
development of the use of lignite fuel would soon equalize or level
off the increasing cost of fuel.
2. Construction Costs - Mr. Page indicated that the cost of
j construction had gone up in almost all areas. One example given was
that of a power pole: cost, without installation, of one pole had
increased 39%. He then discussed the construction of new lignite
plants and nuclear plants that would be providing electricity at a
cheaper cost of fuel in the future; 263 million dollars would be spent 4
on construction alone in 1975.
1{jjI
1 p
F.
3 . Finance - Mr. Page went into detail to explain the importance
of this rate increase to his company in order to keep their AAA credit
rating which enables them to purchase securities on the current market at
lower interest rates.
Mr. Page stated that, if approved, the increase would go into effect on
October 1, 1975. He stated that the average increase would be about 14%
for the agerage customer in Grapevine. The range would actually go from
6/ for a small user to 20% for a larger residential user. There were
several questions and discussions throughout the presentation which were
directly related to four handout sheets given to the Council. These
sheets have been labeled Exhibit A, Exhibit B, Exhibit C, and Exhibit D
and are included in the body of these minutes.
