Regular Meeting
Euless City Council
December 12, 1955
The City Council of Euless met in
regular session December 12, 1955, at 7:30 p.m.
The meeting was called to order by Mayor
Jimmy Payton, a quorum was determined and the minutes of the last regular
session was read and approved.
Preceeding any regular business, the
council discussed with Mr. W. D. Robinson, adviser for the Zoning Board
of Adjustment, the question of bringing trp- to=crate a map showing the sub-
divisions, annexations, dedicated streets, , within the City of Euless.
Secondly, Mr. Nichols, representing
Johnson - Campbell Lumber Company, accompanied by Mr. Al Clyde, an attorney,
was heard in a plea for some inflection of Ordinance No. 40 which would
permit his company to resume its intentions of construction as previously
planned. No action was taken by the council other than a clarified statement
of assurance that the City Council stands ready and willing at all times
to hear any reasonable suggestions offered by Johnson - Campbell or any
others, so long as such suggestions w i I I not destroy or weaken the intent
and purposes of Ordinance No. 40.
On the statements of Mr. Mills and other
information taken from a recent map, two permits to build had been issued in
error to Mr. Mills and the houses virtually completed before the discrepancy
was discovered. Therefore, no action was taken by the Countil to rectify
the error which apparently was not the fault of the Council nor the issuing
clerks. Mr. Mills did promise the City Secretary, who issues building
permits, that he would refrain from furtherxonstruction until he can comply
with Ordinance No. 40.
No unfinished or new business came `before
the council, no motions were offered, and no further action other than to
be adjourned by Mayor Payton at 9:30 p.m.

Next,
Mr. S. W. Mills was heard, who
presented
to the Council a plat of
his acreage
just west of the city and
south of
Highway 183, which, he stated,
should have been recorded and the
street in
question dedicated. But,
due
to the sudden death of the party
making the
plat, no record was made
in so far as could be determined at
present.
Mr. Mills stated further
that
he had built under the assumption
that the
street had been dedicated.
