Villa Estates addressed Council concerning a lot next to her
mobile home that reminds her of a garbage dump. She had pictures
showing paper in the yard, old car without wheels, high weeds
that are full of roaches, fleas, snakes etc. This is definitely
a fire hazard, as well as a health hazard in her opinion.
There were two friends with Mrs. Kaby and one of them reported a
dead tree in the lot adjoining her's that has a branch hanging
over her gas tank. She has reported it and the people did come
out and clean the lot to some degree but did not cut the branch
off. She is afraid of the results should the branch fall on her
tank.

out and have the health inspector check out the one and the City
inspector check out the other to help allev iate the problems
these ladies have encountered.

said the Council has authorized him to sign a letter involving a
land deal.
#8 CITY IlARAGER'S REPORT: A. Mr. Vaughan has come in with
a request. They would like to place a temporary development sign 01
at the corner of East Live Oak Road and F.M. 3009 for a period of
18 months. He contends that people are coming down FM 3009 and
turning off prior to going on down and visiting Silvertree. He
will be replacing the sign that we have been trying to get down
for a long time.
Mayor Sawyer said he would not object to getting rid of the Val
Verde sign.
Council discussed the meaning of temporary and if the sign would
comply with our ordinances. Also discussed was the fact that
another developer has also requested to place a large sign at
that same location. Mayor Sawyer said he could not see how
Council could consider Mr. Vaughan's request because he has not
been to P&Z and you cannot consider the request by Crow
Development because it is not on the agenda. Also discussed was
the fact that one developer had received permission from the land
owner and the other from the Waste Management, the leasee.
Concensus of Council was that they really didn't object to either
but it would have to be worked out between the two developers.
Mr. Gilmore said he would have a letter typed up regarding this
sign, a temporary sign with one year renewable.
B. Mr. Gilmore said Mr. Sharpe had asked for some information 0
regarding the Payless driveway on FM 3009. The original request
was for two driveways and P&Z recommended one and placed it

~urther back f rom the road. Mr. Sharpe said he thought the
~ ~ntent of Council was to cut down on driveways on FM 3009 and it
~. as not necessary for Payless to have an entrance onto FM 3009
hen they had one from the side road. Mr. Gilmore recommended
hat Council and P&Z members have a meeting to discuss driveways.
kayor Sawyer asked that the nest workshop be a joint meeting of
Council and Planning & Zoning members.
