INVOCATION
Council Member Jim Glynn delivered the Invocation.
PUBLIC HEARING, ZONING APPLICATION Z87-04 AND CONDITIONAL USE APPLICATION
CU87-01, J. M. WILLIAMS COMPANY
The first order of business was for the City Council and the Planning & Zoning
Commission to conduct a public hearing relative to Zoning Application Z87-04
and Conditional Use Application CU87-01 submitted by the J. M. Williams
Company.
Mayor Powers declared the public hearing open.
Director of Community Development H. T. Hardy advised the subject 1.735 acres
was located at the northeast intersection of Ira E. Woods (S.H. 26) and
Mustang Drive. The requested zoning change was from "CN" Neighborhood
Comnercial Zoning District to "CC" Community Comnercial Zoning District. The
requested conditional use application was for gasoline service station,
automobile washing business, and sale of alcoholic beverages--beer only.
Mr. Jimmy Williams representing Deli-Mart, Inc. addressed the Council and
Commissioners. He gave a brief overview of the proposed use of the site as a
convenience store/deli-mart (off-premise consumption--beer only) , automated
car wash (1 bay) , quick lube (4 bays) , and retail office space. He noted
Ms. Jherrie Logan would be the owner/operator of the convenience store.
Mr. Barry Hudson of Everage, Smith, Farrington & Associates, Inc. addressed
the Council concerning the design concept of the site. Mr. 0. D. Hudson,
convenience store designer and operations expert, noted the requested
f

{
conditional uses were essential to a convenience store operation. Mr. Tim
Tompkins, owner of the subject property, addressed the Council and Planning &
Zoning Commission concerning use of the adjoining 4± acres as a possible
office development.
NOTE: Council Member Dyer came in to the meeting.
Questions and comments from the City Council and the Commission included
clarification of the zoning ordinance concerning route of measurement from the
school property line to the building entrance. Assistant City Attorney
Adrienne Leonard noted the code provides that "the measurement of the distance
between the place of business where alcoholic beverages are sold and a public
school shall be from the nearest property line of the public school to the
nearest doorway by which the public may enter the place of business, along
street lines and in direct line across intersections."
1 City Council and Planning & Zoning Commission questioned the traffic
congestion on Mustang Drive and the proposed driveway cut in the acceleration
lane of Ira E. Woods (S.H. 26) . During the lengthy discussion, it was noted
the zoning application was not valid due to the variances needed and there was
3
not an application submitted to the Board of Zoning Adjustments requesting the
variances.
t
Mayor Powers then inquired if there were guests present who wished to comment y
either for or against the zoning request.
Ms. Sharon Mayes, Assistant Principal of Grapevine High School, addressed the
Council and Commission on behalf of Grapevine High School Principal Mr. Steve
Jacoby, in opposition of the zoning request. She noted the concerns regarding
the proposed convenience store/deli-mart were: (1) traffic congestion at
Grapevine High School, (2) selling beer at the main entrance to the high
school, and (3) with the high school being a closed campus, the convenience
store would be a temptation to leave the school grounds, therefore inviting
truancy.
The following letters were then read into the record by the City Secretary.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
April 20, 1987
Dear City Council: g
Please be advised that my husband and I would like this letter to be k
read, and noted for the record, that we are opposed to the
construction of a convenience store at the intersection of Route 26
and Mustang Drive, Grapevine, Texas. We are opposed to the sale of Y
alcoholic beverages so close in proximity to our public schools, in
particular the Grapevine High School and Timberline Elementary. In
addition we can foresee an added traffic situation to the already
congested intersection.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. t
Respectfully submitted,
Gary F. and Jane Chevier

Commission to conduct a public hearing relative to Zoning Application Z87-05
t
submitted by Lou Hillman.
Mayor Powers declared the public hearing open.
Director of Community Development H. T. Hardy reported the subject 1.3 acres
being considered for rezoning was located west of Park Boulevard on McPherson
Drive. The requested zoning change is fron "R-3.5" Two-Family Residential t
{
Zoning District to "R-MF-2" Multi-Family Zoning District.
Mr. Lou Hillman, 203 East Northwest Highway, gave a brief overview of the
concept plan submitted noting the best economical use for the land Would be
the proposed garden apartments.
Questions and comments from the Council and Planning & Zoning Commission
concerned adequate parking spaces, height of the proposed building, trash
dumpster placement, and drainage of the property. During discussion, it was
noted an application had been submitted to the Board of Zoning Adjustments, as
several variances would need to be addressed.
Mayor Powers inquired if there were guests present who wished to speak
regarding the zoning change request. There were none. There was also no
correspondence to report. r

PRESENTATION ''
Mr. Tam Allen, representing McGuire/Thomas Partners, briefed the City Council
on the IBM facility being constructed in Westlake.
h
During his lengthy presentation, he noted the first of three phases was z'
currently under construction and would be completed in late 1988. This phase
would occupy approximately 1,000,000 square feet and employ an estimated 2,000
people. The IBM facility, when all three phases are completed, will occupy
7,000,000 square feet over 900 acres.
AUTHORIZE CANCELLATION, RETIRIIMENT LIFE RESERVE INSURANCE POLICY
The next order of business was for the City Council to consider authorizing
cancellation of a duplicate life insurance policy providing two times salary
Retirement Life Reserve.
Personnel Director Mary Jo Vargas reported the City provides two separate life
insurance policies. One is with Texas Life Insurance and one is group term at
2 times salary, double indemnity (MG107) and the other is 2 times salary,
double indemnity and a Retired Life Benefit (RLR) (U-69032) . The combined
policies provide for 8 times salary accidental death. One policy, under-
written by American General, costs the City approximately $34,000 per year.
The other policy, underwritten by Texas Life, costs the City $110,000 per
year.
After discussion, Council Member Sharron Spencer made the motion to cancel the
insurance policy with Texas Life Insurance which provides for 2 times salary,
double indemnity and a Retired Life Benefit (RLR) contract, with the pro-
visions that any proposed changes in benefits be brought back to the City
Council for additional action. Council Member Wilbanks seconded the motion
which prevailed by the ensuing vote:
Ayes: Powers, Ware, Dyer, Glynn, Spencer, Wilbanks, & Niedermeier

AUTHORIZE CANCELLATION SHORT TERM DISABILITY, SELF-INSURE
The next order of business was for the City Council to consider authorizing
staff to cancel the short term disability policy with American General and
self-insure.
a
Personnel Director Mary Jo Vargas noted premiums paid for short term
disability are very high compared to the claims made. The risk exposure is
limited in that after six months, long term disability takes over.
Cancellation of the short term policy and self-insuring, administered through
a third party, would save approximately $35,000 a year.
During the discussion, Council requested a report as to how Grapevine benefits s
{ compare to surrounding cities. Council Member Spencer made a motion to cancel
the short term disability policy with American General, to self-insure and be
administered by a third party. The motion was seconded by Council Member
Wilbanks and prevailed by the ensuing vote:
i
Ayes: Powers, Ware, Dyer, Glynn, Spencer, Wilbanks, & Niedermeier
Nays: None
A s
j SIX-MONTH FINANCIAL REPORT, MID-YEAR DEPARTMENTAL GOALS & OBJECTIVES
The next order of business was for the City Council to discuss the six-month
financial report and mid-year departmental goals and objectives.
Finance Director Ralph Seeley gave an overview of the six-month year-to-date
information regarding the General Fund, the Water & Sewer Enterprise Fund, the
Golf Course Enterprise Fund, the Convention & Visitors Bureau Special Revenue
Fund and the Debt Service Fund. Overall, the financial status of Grapevine is
healthy, but requires constant monitoring and adjustments. He noted the
x General Fund expenditures are running 42 percent year-to-date instead of 50
s percent, and does not expect to spend the entire amount appropriated by year 3
end.
City Manager Dennis Dawson reported there would be a Special City Council u
meeting on April 28 to discuss the departmental goals & objectives as well as g
an in-depth question and answer session concerning the financial report.
INTERLOCAL CONTRACT, SUPERCONDUCTING SUPER COLLIDER AUTHORITY
The next order of business was for the City Council to consider authorizing
the City Manager to enter into an interlocal contract with the City of
Waxahachie, Texas for the purpose of supporting the Superconducting Super
Collider Authority.
Economic Development Director Dave Kreider reported the North Texas Commission 4
is requesting that the City of Grapevine contribute $977 to the Dallas/Fort
Worth Superconducting Super Collider Authority to show the region is united in
support of the massive research construction project. The Department of
Energy will be the responsible Government agency for the $4.4 billion project
that will cover approximately 16,000 acres. Once the facility is operating,
the Super Collider Staff will be about 2,500 and about 500 visiting scientists
are expected to be on-site at any given time.
During the ensuing discussion, questions and comments were made concerning
obligations the City would have by entering into the contract, how Grapevine
would benefit with the Super Collider being located in north Texas, and what
rationale would be used when the next funding request from this group came
before the Council.
Assistant City Attorney Adrienne Leonard noted she had visited with Mr. Monty
Humble, of Vincent and Elkins, who had prepared the interlocal agreement. He
indicated he was opposed to going back to the City of Waxahachie to amend the
proposed interlocal agreement that had been sent to numerous cities in the
north Texas area. She said the City of Grapevine could prepare a letter
stating that the City of Waxahachie understands the $977 is a one time payment t
and Council approval would be required for additional funding, and the City of
Waxahachie would provide a detailed report of how the funds were expended.
Discussion concerning rationale for payment from the Convention & Visitors
Bureau Fund ensued. It was noted the contract would be an indirect benefit to
(6)

f
F
the City, therefore it should be considered as promotion of the City. During
discussion, it was determined City Council had not received the lastest
revised interlocal agreement and therefore the concensus of Council was to k'
table the item until the Special meeting on April 28, at which time Council
would have reviewed the revised interlocal agreement. '
F
BID AWD, GOLF COURSE PARKING LOT AND CART TRAIL PROJECT
k
The next order of business was for the City Council to consider the award of
the bid for the Golf Course parking lot and cart trail resurfacing project.
Director of Public Works Jerry Hodge reported the Staff cost of doing the
proposed project was $54,454.56 versus the cost to award the project to the
low bidder in the amount of $51,974.89. He noted the project provides for a
2" overlay of the entire parking lot at the Golf Course and an additional 2"
overlay for 6,800 linear feet of cart trails. He stated if Staff were pulled
to do the project, the street maintenance projects would fall behind.
Council questions and comments concerned use of City owned equipment (paving
machine) and utilizing manpower to the fullest. The project will be funded
from the Golf Course Revenue fund. Council Member Glynn made a motion to
accept the recommendation of Staff and award the contract to the low bidder,
Calvert Paving Corporation, in the amount of $51,974.89 for the resurfacing
project of the Golf Course parking lot and cart trails. Mayor Pro Tem Ware
offered a second to the nation which prevailed by the ensuing vote:
Ayes: Powers, Ware, Dyer, Glynn, Spencer, Wilbanks, & Niedermeier
Nays: None
PROPOSED YMCA FACILITY
The next order of business was for the City Council to discuss the possibility '
of a YMCA facility and take any necessary action.
Assistant City Manager Kelvin Knauf reported on staff meetings with the Board
of the YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth to discuss the possibility of locating
a YMCA facility in Grapevine. He outlined several requests from the YMCA that P'
are needed to assist in their analysis of Grapevine. Some of which were:
assessment of future industrial, commercial and residential development; "
population growth projections for the next five years; whether seed funds are
available for the construction and operation of the facility and if so, what
are the restrictions. Staff provided the requested information, noting seed
funds could be offered for one-half the operating costs of the facility for
the first three years. There would be no funding for the construction cost,
but the City could possibly offer the land next to the Library as a building
site.
