REGULAR AGENDA
Resolutions:
4.1, 4.2 Dwayne
Hargesheimer, Director of Water Administration, requested that Item 4.1, Oral
Resolution approving a contract with Dyess Air Force base for delivery of
potable and raw/effluent water and Item 4.2, Oral Resolution authorizing
the City Manager to execute a pipeline lease agreement with West Texas LPG
Pipeline Partnership f/k/a Gulf Refining Co. to transport reclaimed water to
Dyess Air Force Base be presented together for continuity purposes. Council
voiced no objections to the request.
Mr.
Hargesheimer stated Dyess Air Force Base has made a formal request for a water
supply contract to supply fully treated water for all on-base operations and
reclaimed water for open landscape irrigation including golf courses and park
areas. The City of Abilene and Dyess
Air Force Base currently do not have a written treated water contract in
effect. A contract has been developed
that includes all applicable provisions for Abilene to sell and provide both
types of water requested, for a 25-year period that provides treated water for
all of Dyess Air Force Base operations and permits up to 160 MG per year of
reclaimed water for irrigation purposes. Sanitary sewer service will be
included in the contract. Construction of pumping and delivery facilities will
be required for delivery of the reclaimed water. The contract includes a connection charge payable monthly for a
10-year period for the majority of the cost of the pumping and delivery
facilities, with the rates for the treated water continuing to be the effective
industrial rate. The reclaimed water
will be delivered at an initial cost of $0.57 per 1000 gallons. The City of Abilene will build, own, operate
and maintain all facilities to the metering points. Staff recommends that by
oral resolution the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a Water
Supply/Sanitary Sewer Service Contract with Dyess Air Force Base, Abilene,
Texas.
Mr.
Hargesheimer then stated the City of Abilene has negotiated an agreement with
West Texas LPG Pipeline Partnership f/k/a Gulf Refining Company to use one of
their abandoned pipelines to transport reclaimed water to Dyess Air Force
Base. Hibbs & Todd Engineers will
design a sleeve appropriately sized that will be fitted inside the abandoned
pipeline, and the construction project will consist of sleeving approximately
20,000 ft. of the abandoned pipeline.
An additional 19,000 feet of new water line will be designed and
constructed to complete the transportation system to Dyess Air Force Base. All appropriate easement rights will be
obtained and affected property owners notified prior to start of construction. The staff recommends that by oral resolution the
City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a 50-year pipeline
lease agreement with West Texas LPG Pipeline Partnership f/k/a Gulf Refining
Co. to transport reclaimed water to Dyess Air Force Base.
Council
and staff discussion included: various concerns of the management of the
effluent water, adding pump stations in the future, and the construction of the
pumping and delivery facilities to be completed by April 30. Councilman Beckham requested a map of the
distribution system and stated appreciation to the Mayor, Frank Puckett, and
City staff for moving quickly on this project.
Mayor Barr recognized and stated appreciation to Frank Puckett, Chair of
the Military Affairs Committee for the Chamber of Commerce.
Councilman Beckham made a motion to authorize the City Manager, by Oral Resolution, to execute a water supply/sanitary sewer service contract with Dyess Air Force base as recommended by staff. Councilman Southward seconded the motion and the motion carried.

4.3 Andy Anderson, Director of Public Works,
briefed the Council on a Resolution

execute the lease agreement. Mr. Anderson
reviewed the bid information, stating only one bid from RIO-TEX, Inc. in the
amount of $40.00 per mineral acre and one-fifth royalty for a term of two years
was received. Mr. Anderson further
stated the Texas Natural Resource Code requires a public hearing be held on the
selection of the bidder. Staff
recommends following the public hearing Council adopt the resolution if it’s determined
it’s in the best interest of the City.
Mayor Barr opened a public hearing on the item, and there being no one present and desiring to be heard, the public hearing was closed.

Ordinances:
4.4 Richard Gertson, Director of Community Development, briefed the Council on an Ordinance considered on second and final reading: TC-00101 – Thoroughfare abandonment of a portion of Poplar Street between South 2nd and South 3rd Streets. The Planning & Zoning Commission and staff recommend approval provided that accessible utility and drainage easements are retained.
Mayor Barr opened a
public hearing on the item, and the following individuals spoke in response to
the request:
·
Mrs. C. L. Hickam,
stated she lives at 2717 Cedar but owns property at 310 Poplar, and her son
owns property at 302 Poplar. Mrs.
Hickam distributed to Council an affidavit against the request signed by 13
people in the neighborhood. Mrs. Hickam
further stated she doesn’t want the street closed, because of how difficult it
would be to take another route, and that all delivery and emergency people need
this portion of the street.
·
Rick Gerald, who owns
property at 318-330 Poplar, stated he would not have bought the property if he
had known about this request. Mr.
Gerald stated closing the street will devalue the property, and be an
inconvenience.
·
Gary Pullin of
Tittle/Luther Partnership, agent for the church, stated church programs have
grown, and the closure allows a safer way to deliver children to day care. Mr. Pullin further stated the parking lot is
not a detriment, and landscaping was discussed with the church.
·
Tom Thompson, senior
pastor of the church, explained the decision-making process of the church, and
noted the church’s activities and services.
Mr. Thompson stated the purpose of the building is to serve the city,
minister to others, carry on the mission of the church; and possibly be used for
an emergency shelter in the future. Mr.
Thompson noted the safety concerns in the plan to provide a day care for
primarily low-income families.
·
Richard Petree of the
Central Appraisal district, speaking as an information source only, stated as
traffic is reduced, property values increase (according to a study).
There being no one else present and desiring to be heard, the public hearing was closed.
Discussion
among Council and staff included: construction beginning depending on when
funds are raised, how often the road is used, traffic division working on how
to limit traffic, and the church feeling the neighborhood will be minimally
inconvenienced with other traffic routes available.
AYES: Councilmen Archibald, Williams, Beckham, McNeil, Councilwoman Alexander, and Mayor Barr.
NAYS:
Councilman Southward.
The
Ordinance is numbered 38-2001
and is captioned as follows:
AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE ABANDONMENT OF A PORTION OF PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY; PROVIDING FOR THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SUCH ABANDONMENT, AND CALLING A PUBLIC HEARING.
4.5 Jeff Armstrong, Development Services Administrator, briefed the Council on an Ordinance considered on second and final reading: Z-04201 – Rezone from RS-6, MH, LI (Residential Single Family, Mobile Home, Light Industrial) to GC (General Commercial) or LC (Limited Commercial) zoning district property located between North 18th & North 19th and Mesquite & North Treadaway, northeast corner of N. 18th & Mesquite. The Planning & Zoning Commission and staff recommend approval of limited commercial zoning.
Mayor Barr opened a
public hearing on the item, and the following individual spoke in favor of the
request:
·
Jason Darby,
proponent, stated that although the original request was for general
commercial, limited commercial should not make a difference, and that they are
now in agreement for limited commercial zoning.
There being no one else present and desiring to be heard, the public hearing was closed.
AYES: Councilmen Archibald, Southward, Williams, Beckham, McNeil, Councilwoman Alexander, and Mayor Barr.
NAYS:
None.
The
Ordinance is numbered 39-2001
and is captioned as follows:
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 23, "PLANNING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT," SUBPART E, "ZONING," OF THE ABILENE MUNICIPAL CODE, BY CHANGING THE ZONING DISTRICT BOUNDARIES AFFECTING CERTAIN PROPERTIES, AS DESCRIBED BELOW, DECLARING A PENALTY, AND CALLING A PUBLIC HEARING.
4.6 Jeff Armstrong, Development Services Administrator, briefed the Council on an Ordinance considered on second and final reading: Z-04401 – Rezone from O (Office) to LC (Limited Commercial) zoning district property located in the 2000 block of S. Danville. The Planning & Zoning Commission and staff recommend approval.
Council and staff discussion included: 6 affirmative votes being required to approve this item due to the large percentage of opposition, the clearing of brush and trees required for any creek bed development, codes that address lighting problems, flood plain requirement to “build up” affecting residential areas, raising the creek bed level resulting in pushing the water somewhere, creek beds generally not being permissible development, screen wall or fence being required, the site not being big enough for PDD zoning, and the current zoning allowing some types of construction that would create the same problems as LC zoning.
Mayor Barr opened a
public hearing on the item, and the following individuals spoke in response to
the request:
· David Gregory, agent for the proponent, stated his clients propose to beautify and fence the property, and noted that 60,000 cars is the traffic count in the area and his business only generates 25 cars daily. Mr. Gregory further stated he will address the lighting issue that the noise level is a minimum and that parking for 5 or 6 customers and 2 employees will be on the north end of the property. Although there is construction done on the property, no saws are used and lights are on until 11:00 p.m. or midnight.
· Cathy Fowlkes, 2142 River Oaks Circle, stated all developed land to the south is office space, then read the definitions of Office & Limited Commercial zoning. Ms. Fowlkes further stated residents were not considered and that some property owners did not receive official notification. Ms. Fowlkes read P&Z Ordinance quotes from her handout that had been distributed to Council, stating P&Z did not address the long-term effect of the changes, and that she has found nothing to show proponents had met the “burden of proof”. Ms. Fowlkes further stated that the person wanting to make a change should first look for a properly zoned area for their business, and questioned what has changed to justify a change. Ms. Fowlkes noted procedural objections, addressed the noise issue, natural creek buffer not being very effective, the negative effect on property values, listed some fundamental differences between O & LC zoning, and questioned what could happen if this business leaves. Ms. Fowlkes read from the “nuisances” section of the Municipal Code, and noted her documented opinions of many of the residents.
City Attorney Sharon Hicks stated an individual’s right to develop their property does not come under the “nuisance” law.
· Barry Fowlkes, 2142 River Oaks Circle, stated 8 out of 9 of the residents are opposed to the request.
· Kenny Heaton, 2150 River Oaks, noted usage of the highway, which is still the Winters freeway, has not had a substantial change, and stated he is not sure how the population at large would be affected by the change. Mr. Heaton stated he is very concerned that Mr. Gregory didn’t contact the neighbors.
· Bynum Miers, 4426 S. 20th, stated his property is #1 on the map, and that he is concerned with the elevation of the creek bank on the west side because that side is higher than his side. Mr. Miers stated anyone constructing a building in the area should be concerned with creek erosion, and mentioned noise pollution. Mr. Miers stated he would like to see the zoning stay the same.
· Barbara Miers, 4426 S. 20th, stated her driveway is in a cul-de-sac, and with lights behind it, it would give the dangerous illusion of being a street. Ms. Miers noted that cutting vegetation in and along the creek bed is a negative activity.
· Jack Harkins, 340 Beech, stated he was a member of the Planning & Zoning Commission at the time this item came before the P&Z (he is now chair of P&Z). Mr. Harkins stated at the P&Z meeting there was not a lot of opposition to this item. Mr. Harkins noted this is an unusual piece of property, almost undevelopable for many uses, but this type of business would be compatible with LC zoning.
There being no one else present and desiring to be heard, the public hearing was closed.
Council and staff discussion included: long range effect of new Limited Commercial zoning, Office and LC zoning issues, under current zoning trees could be cleared and parking lot could be lighted, drainage plan, opaque fencing (screening type), sign restrictions - 1 free standing much smaller scale than in GC, and that the current owner had the area rezoned in 1994 from Residential to Office.
Council took a five minute break at 11:35 a.m.
Continued Council and staff discussion included: Council having limited say on directing or limiting lighting and the staff report and adjacent residential problems that were addressed with P&Z.
Mr. Armstrong explained the miscommunication with Ms. Fowlkes concerning the residential surrounding property owners having been considered. Councilwoman Alexander stated that no matter what the outcome of today’s vote on the issue, the Council wants people to do business and have businesses in Abilene.
City Attorney Sharon Hicks explained the need for 6 affirmative votes to approve the item and 4 to deny the request.
AYES: Councilmen Southward and McNeil.
NAYS:
Councilmen Archibald, Williams, Beckham, Councilwoman Alexander, and
Mayor Barr.
The
request was DENIED.
4.7 The Ordinance considered on second and final reading concerning the TXU (LSG) rate increase was removed from the agenda to be considered at a later date.
4.8 David Wright, Director of Finance, introduced Richard Petree, Chief Appraiser with the Central Appraisal District, who briefed the Council on an Ordinance considered on first reading providing for the taxation of leased motor vehicles otherwise exempt under state law. Mr. Petree recommended the Council deny the Ordinance that would provide for the taxation of leased motor vehicles. Approximately $40,000 in tax dollars could be lost if the Ordinance is denied; but denial would result in equal tax treatments for leased and owned vehicles. Only leases entered into after 1/1/01 would be affected. Staff recommends denial of the Ordinance.
AYES: Councilmen Archibald, Southward, Williams, Beckham, McNeil, Councilwoman Alexander, and Mayor Barr.
NAYS:
None.
Mayor Barr recessed the Council into executive
session pursuant to Sections 551.071, 551.074, and 551.072 of the Open Meetings
Act, to seek the advice of the City Attorney with respect to pending and
contemplated litigation, to consider the appointment and evaluation of public
officers, and to consider the purchase, exchange,
lease or value of real property.
The Council reconvened from executive session and reported no action taken.
