#5 Industrial Land Development - Mr. Pl~as Naylor addressed
the Council concerning
his tract of land in the Industrial Park area off IH 35. He
proposes extending the old Doerr Lane out to IH 35 and would
like Council consideration of giving them the old cut-back
through the area in order for them to have one undivided piece
of property. Mr. Naylor then yielded the rest of his time to
Mr. Weatherhead and Mr. Will of Austin Company out of Cleveland,
who have a client very interested in opening a plant in this
area. The client wishes to locate a metal works manufacturing
plant, initially employing 70 people (about 65 of which would
be llired locally) with an additional 40 office employees being
added later. The following are some of the problems they need
help with: (1) their concern for water, primarily for fire
protection, was answered by the City awarding the bid for the
new storage tank and line (2) sewer facilities - not only
availability but the approximate cost to them (3) the load
limitation on the new FM 3009 is way too low for their clients
needs and they solicite the Council's cooperation in securing
a waiver from the state. (4) availability 'of the tax moratorium.
The majority of the Councilmembers were in favor of granting
the tax moratorium if it could be done tract by tract. Mayor
Bueker would get the attorney's opinion and meet with Mr. Weather=
head and Mr. Wills the next day.

Mayor Bueker had one additional item to be discussed at
this time - Council's decision on the easement for the sewer
line on the Rubin Beck property. Mr. Beck, through CCMA,
had made two proposals (1) if the City insists he tie on to
the sewer line at this time, the City would have to purchase
the easement or go through condemnation proceedings which
would amount to approximately $10,000. (2) if Mr. Beck was
granted a variance where he would not have to hook on until
a line came nearer his home, then he would donate the easement.
Mr. Seeba moved the City Council grant the variance with the
stipulation Mr. Beck hook on to the sewer line as soon as
one is more accessible or in two years whichever comes first.
Mrs. Funk seconded the motion which carried with the following
