PUBLIC HEARING - APPEAL OF METRO
EQUITIES, INC. , FOR A VARIANCE FROM
THE REQUIREMENT FOR UNDERGROUND
ELECTRICAL SERVICE TO ALLOW OVER-
HEAD SERVICE IN AIRPORT BUSINESS
PARK
The members introduced themselves to
the audience.
Mr. Banks asked Mr. Bullard, City Public
Works Director, to state the purpose of the meeting.
Mr. Bullard stated that the purpose
for the meeting was an appeal from Metro Equities, Inc. , to have overhead
electric utilities in the Airport Business Park. The City Ordinance calls
for all utilities to be underground. The ordinance was written with
residential development in mind. At the time it was written, there were
no industrial developments in Euless. It was passed along with the Johnson
Administration' s Clean Air and Beautification Act. Metro Equities has taken
exception to the ordinance due to higher costs, and industrial load level
cannot readily be determined. He stated that the City Staff has nq objection
to the waiver of the ordinance, due to the fact that the subdivision is
surrounded on three sides by existing electrical poles, and it is an
industrial development making the load factor hard to determine.
Mr. Banks stated that the existing
overhead supply was put in before the ordinance was passed.

Mr. Bullard agreed, stating there
is overhead supply on Pipeline Road, behind Euless Industrial Park and
along Highway 183. This waiver would add eight to ten poles maximum.
Therefore, the appearance of the area would not be greatly affected.
Mr. Banks asked if anyone was objecting
to the proposal .
Mr. Bullard stated that he has discussed
it with the City Manager and Assistant City Manager, and has had no calls
from anyone notified. No questions have been asked except by members
and alternates of the board. To his knowledge, no one is objecting to
the proposal .
Mr. Eden moved to approve the proposal .
Mr. Davis seconded the motion.
Those in favor of granting the waiver
were as follows: Messrs. Banks, Holmes, Eden, Winter, and Davis.
There were none against granting the
waiver.
Metro Equities, Inc. , was granted
permission to have overhead electric utilities at the Airport Business
Park.
