A Called meeting of the City of Buless Planning & Zoning Commission.
Members present: Edward Smith, Prank Douglass, Bert Heyl and Henry Uselton.
Visitors: Lee Cowell, Don Jarvis, Dr, Hyde, Mr. Tillinghast and Jeff Ball.
The meeting was opened at 9:00 A.M. by Lee Cowell, City Manager. The purpose
of the meeting was to give the Planning & Zoning Commission a progress report
on the plans for a new municipal facility.
Don Jarvis, Architect for the City made a progress report to the Commission
which included a look at surrounding communities and their development cost,
population growth rate and general planning and expenditures on municipal buildings,
the report reflected to a degree some areas of short sighted planning by not having
comprehensive studies of future growth as opposed to needs.
The Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously recommended to the City Council
that the firm of Don Jarvis be authorized to obtain facts and figures concerning
the needs of Euless projected over the next twenty (20) years. The Commission
feels it imperative that we know the approximate cost of needs being; the acreage
of land, the number of buildings and type, ( fire fighting, recreation, servicing
and housing of vehicles, city hall, police station, jail, library, etc.) We feel
that this information could then be the base upon which we work, rather than
building one facility without the consideration of the total need of the city.
The Commission feels that a one year comprehensive plan accompanied by a five (5)
err year plan would be desirable to begin a capitol improvement program for Euless.
The meeting adjourned at 10:50 A.M.
