With reference to the water main and sewer line, the engineers state as follows: We understand that the Developer intends to extend the 3 inch water main in Wilshire Drive North to proposed Spur 350 and the sewer line along the back lot line to serve Lots 1-A, 2-A and 3-A.

A, Elliott stated that he is present to represent Mr. Z. L. Simpson who is desirous of constructing two buildings, each of which will house four studio apartments and requests a permit to do so. The buildings will be lo- cated on Lots 2-A and 3-A, Block 3, Wilshire Village Addition, Section 7. Chairman Weber advised that the City's Consulting Engineers, in their letter dated May 2, 1967, which was previously referred to, suggest that the proposed driveway approach be constructed with a crest elevation equal to or greater than the adjacent top of curb elevation since the property slopes away from the street. In reply to an inquiry, City Inspector Jack Bullard advised that this property has previously been zoned for multiple-family dwellings. Mr. Bullard advised that the plans, as submitted by Mr. Simpson, are in compliance with all requirements of the City of Euless, with one exception -- that being the park- ing facilities. Mr. Bullard stated that the City requires one and one-half (12) spaces for each apartment, and that Mr. Simpson was advised of this requirement, when his plans were submitted. Mr. Elliott stated that Mr. Simpson will comply with this require- ment, and Mr. Simpson !pl-ins to provide a covered carport for each apartment, with additional parking spaces in the rear of the structures. There will be more than the required number of spaces -- something over two spaces per apartment. Chairman Weber stated that, in his opinion, the parking area should be indicated on the plans, before this request is submitted to the City Council at its next meeting. A study of the plans revealed that the structures are to have two baths per unit, with approximately 1000 sq, t, in each unit. The structure will have two stories. Mr. Tench made the motion to recommend approval of the permit for the construction of the apartment buildings, as requested by Mr. Z. L. Simpson, subject to the following: 1 . Correction of the parking area specifications, in accordance with the City Ordinances. 2. Compliance with the Engineer's recommendation concerning the driveway approach. 3. Specifically based on the approval of the Revised Plat of Lots 1-A, 2-A, 3-A and 14-A, Block 3, Wilshire Village Addition, Section 7.
