the businesses that plan to do business in that area and the type of
businesses that the residents would desire. He stated that restrictions
could be placed on the land to make sure that what was said was to be
built is what would be built when the land is sold. Mr. Ramsower stated

still have the option as to wb~t could be built on the land. Mr.
Ramsower stated that h~ hoped whatever was built on the land, alcoholic
beverages would not be served. Mr. Ramsower stated that 85% of John

Mayor presented a public hearing on Zone Case No. 526; Request of
Onofre Hinojosa for rezoning the West 40 feet of Lot 1, Block 58,
Original Town Addition, from an MF-2 (M~lti-family residential) zoning
businesses. He stated that a fence would be built on the back of the
property. Lighting would also be installed to keep as much light off
the residential area as was possible. Mr. Ryan stated the construction
now being considered was two story.
Carolyn Jordan, Attorney representing the Jefferson Street
residents made a presentation showing two types of construction that
might be considered for tracts 1 & 2. She stated that the occupancy
rate in Pla/nview for the last 2 years has been 75% to 90%. They fear
if any Multi-family residences are built at this location it would only
dilute the occupancy further. Mrs. Jordan stated that as far as
Wal-Mart coming to Plainview; she felt that most of their employees were
already living in Plainview and all that would be involved in more
housing would be Administrative personnel. She stated that the zoning
ordinance of the City of Plainview already requires a buffer between
conm~rcial and residential property as well as Multi-family. She
suggested that whatever was built on the site might be coordinated with
the surrounding area such as bricks., etc., with parking in front.
Mr. Ramsower rebutte~ and stated that instead of selling to several
different developers, it would be better to sell to an individual
developer who would build one solid building.
Carolyn Jordan rebutted concerning Tracts 3 & 4. There is some
concern about different type restaurants. There should be some general
type restrictions in regard to what might go in. If it is going to be
Multi-family there needs to be restrictions as to Parking, lighting, and
second story with no windows looking down on the residential area to the
rear.
Tom ~lay asked Tom Hamilton if the Council granted the Zone Case,
now can we, as a condition, place restrictions mentioned on the property
as our ordinance exists. Mr. Hamilton responded and said the Council
has the option of zoning with the restrictions, you can't use the zone
change to force Mr. Ramsower to do what he doesn't want to do. If Mr.
Ramsower comes to the Council with a plan of what he is going to do, and
what he will do, then you can pass the zoning with those restrictions.
Mr. Hamilton said in his opinion that he didn't know w~t everybody
wanted.
Mrs. Jordan requested that the zone case be tabled for two weeks
until all things could be worked out. Mr. Ramsower disagreed. Mrs.
Jordan asked the Council for a 20-minute recess to get the people
together and see if a plan could be worked out. Mr. ~mmilton said he
would like to see sc~ething in writing if the Council was going to
approve anything. The Mayor called a 20-minute recess at this point.
After 20-minutes the Mayor called the meeting back to order and
entertained a motion to recess zone case #525 and go on with the agenda
until 'the parties in the zone case had resolved their differences.
Motion was made by Alderwoman Dorman and seconded by Alderman Taylor.
After about 40 minutes, the Mayor called the meeting from recess to
order in the public hearing on Zone Case #525. Mrs. Jordan presented
