OPEN MEETING
Plat - Utility Waive~ - Consideration of request of J. T. Beane, 2510 West 24th St.,
Plalnview, Texas, to waive platting and/or utility extension regulations so his
property may be serviced with water. Mr. Paul Beane, representing his elderly
father, came before the Council to request that the platting and utility extensions
regulations be waived so that his father could tie onto city water for personal use at
his house at 2510 West 24th. Paul Beane stated that his father is an elderly man and
not well and that the water we]] at his fathers home needed to be pulled and lowered
so as to provide l~im with water, therefore he was requesting that his father's
property be allowed to tie on to the city's water supply. Bill Hogge, Director of
Public Works explained to Mr. Beane and the Council that the proposed water Inairl
would require certain easements and since this would be an off site line, the cost of
it must be funded by the property owner. The time required to do the engineering,
bid specifications compilation, and bid proposals advertised and acquired, would
take several weeks, in addition to the cost to Mr. Beane. Mr. Hogge explained each
of these steps and the time required for each step. Mr. Beane stated he could not
wait that length of time and he respectfully withdrew his request.
There being no further business before the Council on this Special Meeting agenda,
Dwain Dodson moved the meeting adjourn; Alton Jackson seconded the motion; the
motion carried uno_nimously among the four councilmembers present.
Passed and approved this 8th day of June, 1993.
