as Churchill Farms, Section Four; and Variances to the Subdivision Regulations/Ed Barry
and Hildy Kingma
Simon informed Council that the Planning and Zoning Commission had recommended
approval of this preliminary plat. Curl suggested that plantings be added next to the fences
to improve the aesthetics because Highway 29 is an entrance to the City. Simon replied
that the State, who owns the right of way from the fence line to the highway, has
recommended "no plantings" and that they would not maintain any plantings placed in
their right of way.
Motion by Tonn, second by Hoyt to approve the preliminary plat and variances to the
Subdivision Regulations. Approved 6-0,
E Consideration of a Final Plat of 15.182 acres in the William Addison Survey, and a
Resubdivision of Stonehedge Subdivision, Section Three, Lot 1, Block N; to be known as

Ham &i Associates for engineering services related to the design of the West 22nd and
Leander Street Stormwater Trunk Line and Outfall Structure, in an amount not to exceed
$58,000.00/Jim Briggs
Hart explained to Council that review of the contract had not been completed by the City
Attorney, so he would defer this item until the next agenda. He emphasized the need to
move forward as quickly as possible so as not to delay the projects. When asked about the
drainage problems in that area, and the proposed solution to deal with same, Hart replied
that an investigation showed that it would be $500,000 less expensive to direct the water
to the San Gabriel River rather than to the Smith Branch.
Wood asked Hart if the Council could go ahead and act with the understanding that the
City Attorney would have the final approval on the contract. Motion by Tonn, second by
Bain to approve the agreement, only to become official with approval of the City Attorney.
Approved 6-0.
H Final comments and evaluation of meeting process
Hart told Council he would try to get a map to them showing the planned location of the
proposed concrete plant.
