- residential, GO policy

- offices
This request fits both Comprehensive Land Use Plan
and zoning policy and should not affect traffic in

David Jones, Director of Planning, presented staff
comments. The land area of this property that is
not needed for future church development is being
proposed for single-family residential, consisting
of 6 lots including a separate lot for the existing
parsonage. Mr. Jones gave the adjacent land use
relationships as follow:

both Comprehensive Land Use Plan Policy and zoning
policy. The proposal will have little or no effect
on traffic in the area.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended
approval of this request by a vote of 6-0. The

ORDINANCE #9594
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 7084 AND THE OFFICIAL
MAP OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK MAKING THE FOLLOWING CHANGES: ZONE CASE NO.
2697; A ZONING CHANGE FROM R-1 TO IDP ZONING ON A TRACT OUT OF SECTION
10, BLOCK A, LUBBOCK, TEXAS; SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS; PROVIDING A PENALTY;
PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE AND PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION.
Councilmember Cooke excused and recused himself from
discussion and voting on this item. (An affidavit
was filed with the City Secretary prior to this
hearing.)
Mayor Langston opened the public hearing at 2:31
p.m.
David Goyette appeared on behalf of Budget Rent A
Car to present this request for zone change from R-1
to IDP.
No one appeared in opposition. Mayor Langston
closed the public hearing at 2:32 p.m.
David Jones, Director of Planning, presented staff
comments. This request is for IDP - Industrial Park
zoning, for a car rental agency. Mr. Jones gave the
adjacent land use relationships as follow:
North - vacant, airport property
South - vacant, zoned R-1, IDP policy
East - zoned IDP - car storage
West - vacant, zoned R-1, IDP Policy
This request is consistent with both the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan and zoning policy and
the effect should be normal for new commercial
development on vacant property. Staff expressed the
hope that the design of the facility would reflect
the fact that this parcel is on the very front door
to Lubbock from the Lubbock International Airport.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended
approval of this request by a vote of 6-0 subject to
the following condition:
1. That a site plan, including building
elevations showing materials, color,
and texture, shall be submitted and
approved by the Planning and Zoning
Commission prior to the issuance of
a building permit.
The staff supported the recommendation of the
Planning and Zoning Commission to the City Council.
Motion was made by Councilmember Aderton, seconded
by Mayor Pro Tem Trejo to pass on first reading

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 7084 AND THE OFFICIAL
MAP OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK MAKING THE FOLLOWING CHANGES: ZONE CASE NO.
2698; A ZONING CHANGE FROM T TO M-2 SPECIFIC USE ZONING FOR A JUNKYARD,
SALVAGE YARD OR AUTOMOBILE WRECKING YARD ON A TRACT OUT OF SECTION 25
BLOCK A, LUBBOCK, TEXAS; SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS; PROVIDING A PENALTY;
PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE AND PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION.
Mayor Langston opened the public hearing at 2:34
p.m.
David Goyette appeared on behalf of Auto Auction
Company to present this request for zone change from
T to M-2 Specific Use.
Rob Watts, who resides at 2400 44th Streets, told
the Council that he had done business with Auto
Auction Company for ten years. He stressed that the
company's function is not as a junkyard but rather
as a sales agent for insurance companies. Further,
it is only open to car dealers licensed by the State
of Texas.
Lloyd Croslin, a realtor, indicated that both of the
adjacent property owners, Rip Griffin Truck Stop and
Lubbock Trailer Manufacturing Inc., are in favor of
the request.
Doug Owens, owner of this type of business in
Amarillo for the past ten years, told the Council
that he sold approximately 4,000 cars last year at
his facility in Amarillo. His facility is one of
only 25 salvage pools in the state and draws buyers
from a multi -state region.
Elmer Etgen, a resident of east Lubbock, presented a
petition containing 127 signatures of citizens
opposing the facility. Mr. Etgen presented two
major concerns about the facility being placed at
the location proposed: 1) the danger to children
who would be attracted to the area and 2) the danger
to the environment and the groundwater presented by
leaking oil, freon, and battery acid.
J.W. McCafferty, who resides at 4012 E. Colgate,
expressed strong opposition to the facility due to
the efforts of the neighborhood association to clean
up the neighborhood and doesn't understand how the
facility will bring money to Lubbock.
Betty Etgen expressed the concern that the citizens
of the area do not want the facility, that it is
being dumped on the east Lubbock area, and that it
will not bring sales tax benefit or jobs to the
city.
Mayor Langston closed the public hearing at 3:14
p.m.
February 25, 1993

David Jones, Director of Planning, gave staff
comments. The proponent represents a company which
purchases wrecked vehicles and auctions them to
dealers for either repair or for wrecking yards.
Mr. Jones gave the adjacent land use relationships
as follow:
North - vacant, zoned "T"
South - Idalou Hwy/Children's home
East - zoned IDP - vacant
West - zoned "T" - Rip Griffin Truck Stop
The major corridor or entryways to Lubbock have been
a concern of the Planning and Zoning Commission and
City Council for some years, although staff have not
adopted any formal policy. The policy which exists
within the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for IDP
suggests concern for how businesses "look" as they
face major traffic arteries. Following is a
discussion of two sets of information from the
Zoning Code, one from IDP Section and the second
from the Specific Use guidelines for salvage yards.
The basis for these two discussions is that the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan notes "IDP" for the area
north of the Idalou Highway from Loop 289 to the
city limit.
The proponent was required to file the case as M-2
Specific Use because the Code classifies the
presence of wrecked vehicles that are auctioned by
the proponent as "Junkyard, salvage yard, or
automotive wrecking yard" in the M-2 District with a
Specific Use Permit. Experience in Lubbock with the
public indicates that a yard of wrecked vehicles is
perceived as a junk or salvage yard regardless of
the nature of the business operation.
The following are IDP Guidelines:
(o) Landscaping requirements.
(1) Lots adjacent to major
thoroughfares or expressways
shall each have five (5) per
cent of their respective total
development lot area
landscaped and permanently
maintained. Other lots shall
each have three (3) per cent
of their respective total
development lot area
landscaped and permanently
maintained. The total
required landscaping shall be
located between the building
line and adjacent streets.
Any landscaping placed within
the visibility triangle of a
corner lot must be in
compliance with section
29-30(b)(6)i.2 of this zoning
ordinance.
February 25, 1993
Page 161
(q) Outside storage. All outside
storage areas shall be behind a
screening fence six (6) feet in
height. Materials shall not be
stacked or stored to exceed the
height of the screening fence. All
storage areas and fencing shall be
behind the front building line
towards the interior of the lot.
(r) Loading and truck storage areas. No
truck loading/unloading areas shall
be located on a building wall
fronting on a major thoroughfare or
expressway; lots without frontage on
a major thoroughfare or expressway
shall have no such regulation.
(t) Building materials and construction.
(1) A half -cylinder building shall
not be permitted.
(2) Galvanized, corrugated sheet
metal walls shall not be
permitted.
(3) All buildings located on lots
adjacent to major
thoroughfares or expressways
shall have an exterior
composition or facade, on each

not less than 30% (per wall)
of wood, brick, stucco,
aggregate stone, natural stone
or glass (exclusive of doors
and windows).
(u) Site plan and review. No building
permit shall be issued until the
Planning and Zoning Commission has
reviewed a site plan for the
building site and has approved the
same as showing the following
details:
(1) Scale and North arrow.
(2) Dimensions of all lots, yards
and driveways.
(3) Off-street parking spaces and
all private driveways.
(4) Landscaping details.
(5) Building area.

Page 162
(8) Ingress and egress.

signs.
(10) Elevations showing building
height, location and type of
required building materials.
M-2 Specific Use Guidelines:

automobile wrecking yards. In the
"M-2" District on a site of five (5)
acres or more at the time of
application, provided the following
conditions are met:

of the City of Lubbock, Texas.
b. That a six-foot high screening
fence of wooden or masonry
construction of the equivalent
thereof as described on a
detailed site plan approved by
the planning and zoning
Commission and the City
Council shall be constructed
entirely surrounding the

maintained except where a
permanent building is erected.
Said building shall constitute
a portion of the screening
fence. A display area may be
provided adjacent to the
fronting street provided the
following conditions are meet:

twenty-five (25) feet
from the fronting
street.

February 25, 1993
Page 163
C. No item of junk, salvage, or
other merchandise shall be
stacked or permitted to be
stacked or stored in excess of
the height of the enclosing
fence or wall nor nearer than
two (2) feet thereto except
that wrecked vehicles may be
stacked two (2) feet high
provided said vehicles are
stacked a minimum of
seventy-five (75) feet from
any property line.
d. Such junk, salvage, or other
merchandise on the premises
shall be arranged to provide
reasonable inspection of, or
access to, all parts of the
premises.
e. All proposed signs and/or

accordance with section
22.2[29-24(b)] of the Zoning

required by the city
engineering departments, shall
be met.
g. That all such premises be open
for inspection to, and meet
the requirements of, the
city's fire, police, health
and building authorities.
h. No advertising shall be
permitted on screening fences.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended
approval of this request by a vote of 6-0 subject to
the following conditions:
1. The area noted on the south boundary
(200 feet along the property line)
outside of the fenced sale area #2
shall be landscaped and permanently
maintained.
2. Provide a solid screen fence (chain
link with vinyl slats is acceptable)
for 150 feet on the west side
property line and for 300 feet on

3. No sale of auto parts or portions of
wrecked vehicles to the general
public.
4. No dismantling or salvage of parts

Planning.
7. Tied to site plan 2698 as presented
to the Planning and Zoning
Commission and signed by the
Chairman on February 4, 1993.
During the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting,
the proponent agreed to the conditions that are
reflected within the recommendation. There seemed
to be general agreement that the site plan and other
conditions would solve any discrepancy between the
M-2 Specific Use and IDP guidelines. The staff
supported the recommendation of the Planning and
Zoning Commission.
After much discussion, the motion was made by
Councilmember Cooke, seconded by Councilmember -
Aderton to pass on first reading Ordinance #9595

RESOLUTION #4085
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK:
THAT the Mayor of the City of Lubbock BE and is hereby authorized
and directed to execute for and on behalf of the City of Lubbock an
amendment to the Transportation Contract numbered 513-XXF-6019 to be
entered into by and between the City of Lubbock and the Texas Department
of Transportation, attached herewith, which shall be spread upon the
minutes of the Council and as spread upon the minutes of this Council
shall constitute and be a part of this Resolution as if fully copied
herein in detail.
Passed by the City Council this 25th day of February, 1993.

Assistant City Attorney
A copy of the Amendment to the Transportation Contract between the City
of Lubbock and the Texas Department of Transportation is filed with
Resolution No. 4085.
The City Council approved the original State
Contract No. 513-XXF-6019 in the amount of $149,914
on September 10, 1992. At that time, the State did
not calculate the exact amount of funds the City
would be eligible for in FY93 because the State had
not determined the amount of carry-over funds the
City would have from last year's contract. Citibus
staff had already calculated in September that the
total amount would be $292,823.
This amendment adds $142,909 to the contract:
$69,904 of Public Transportation Fund (PTF)
discretionary money, $10,300 of PTF/Commission-
selected projects carryover (ADA-related projects),
and $62,705 PTF formula carryover from the City's
fiscal year 1992 contract to the operating line
item. This increases the maximum amount payable
under Contract No. 513-XXF-6019 from $149,914 to
$292,823.
February 25, 1993
Page 168
When the amended contract was received, the State
added $8,000 scheduled for the paratransit van to
operating assistance. Therefore, the City will
transfer $8,000 originally scheduled for the
replacement van to operating assistance. If the
City decided to change the contract, it would only
delay when the City would receive the funds. Staff
recommended approving the contract, thus enabling
the City to spend the State funds sooner. The City
cannot spend any of the additional funds until the
contract is signed by both parties. (The State
requires that they be the last party to sign the
contract.)
Last summer, there was an issue surrounding the bus
stop at the South Plains Mall (SPM). The SPM wanted
to improve the main entrance to the Mall by removing
the buses from the parking lot. After negotiations
between SPM and staff, it was agreed to move the bus
stop location to the north side of the Mall on 57th
Street. SPM then granted space for a bus pullout,
with shelters, trees, and a dedicated sidewalk from
the pullout to the north entrance of the mall. The
City instructed the Citibus staff to come up with a
way to fund the project without any additional costs
to the City. Therefore, the cost of this project
would be approximately $54,000, with 80% ($43,200)
being funded by Federal Transit Administration (FTA)
funds and 20% ($10,800) being funded by the City.
The additional State operating assistance will allow
Citibus to lower the City's share of operating
Citibus from $632,560 to $590,000 or lower. The
surplus City funds could then be used to match
already -approved federal projects to fund passenger
amenities (bus shelters and signs) for ADA
requirements and to construct a bus stop location at
the South Plains Mall.
The revised City budget for Citibus could be as
follows:
FY92-93
Original
Expended
Approved
To Date

staff did not encumber City funds for the purchase
of bus shelters (advertised in August, 1992) and
signs (advertised in July, 1992). Since additional
funds would be available from the State in the
following year's budget, the Citibus staff decided
to save the City those funds in the FY91-92 budget.
This amounts to $21,150, of which $9,117 is for the
actual purchase of the shelters and the signs. The
balance will be for installation of the shelters and
the signs.

The City Council has the option not to undertake the
SPM project or the installation of the passenger
amenities in this budget, thus saving the City
approximately $23,000. However, due to community
relations, these projects would be a positive move
for bus passengers and the City Council.
Staff recommended that the City Council authorize
the aforementioned amendment to Contract No.
513-XXF-6019. The Transit Advisory Board has
reviewed and approved the plans for the South Plains
Mall bus stop. Council will still need to approve
the agreement with the Mall and the construction
contract at a later date.

A copy of the Waste Water Lease Agreement with L.C.C. Institute of Water
Research is filed with Resolution No. 4087.
In August, 1980, Standefer and Gray, Inc., operator
of the City's Land Application Site at that time,
entered into a lease agreement with the Lubbock
Christian College Institute of Water Research for
the disposal of treated sewage effluent on a 4,000
acre site near Wilson, Texas. This lease agreement
was subsequently assigned to the City of Lubbock
after the City purchased the Standefer and Gray
property.
The lease agreement provides that the lessee (City
of Lubbock) may extend the lease for a 10-year
period, beginning January 1, 1999. The option to
extend the lease must be exercised prior to
September 1, 1993. The lessor would be paid the
total sum of $1,000 per year during the 10-year
lease extension.
February 25, 1993
Page 173
Because of its very large storage capacity, the
continued use of this site is very important to the
City of Lubbock for the disposal of a portion of its
treated sewage effluent. Staff therefore
recommended that the City exercise its option to
extend this lease agreement.

Jim Bertram, Assistant City Manager for Development
Services presented staff comments. This ordinance
abandons and closes three separate items, all in the
Whisperwood Addition and adjacent to Lot 127 of that
addition. Several of the lots in this cul-de-sac
are being replatted, necessitating these closures.
A new cul-de-sac will be dedicated to replace the
one being closed. A new five-foot underground
utility easement and a transformer pad easement will
be dedicated by plat to also replace those being
closed. All utilities are in agreement with these
closures and the $150 application fee has been paid.
Staff recommended approval.

abandons and closes a 25' X 140.40' tract of land
dedicated for a street in 1951. This street
dedication was for a north -south street between 40th
Street and 42nd Street just west of Avenue A;
however, only a half -width street was dedicated and
it did not completely go through from 40th to 42nd.
A portion of this street was closed in 1984 and
staff is now recommending that another portion be
closed.

The preliminary plat has been submitted and staff
sees no utility problems. The Appraisal District
has the adjacent land valued at 20t per sq.ft. The
Right -Of -Way Department values this street portion
of land at 10t per sq.ft. because it is not needed
and is landlocked. The City is to receive 10¢ x
3,510 sq.ft. _ $351. A quitclaim deed will be
issued upon second reading of this ordinance since
the abutting property owner is the City. Staff
recommended approval.

(35.) Consider the allocation of CDBG Contingency Funds to
the Early Learning Centers of Lubbock, Inc.
Jim Bertram, Assistant City Manager for Development
Services presented staff comments. During the
1992-93 CDBG program, $75,000 was approved for the
expansion of capacity for low income day care. The
initial proposal was the construction of a new
facility to be built in central Lubbock. After
careful review of the options, the Board of
Directors of the Early Learning Centers has
determined that an expansion of the Erskine Early
Learning Center is the best option to increase
capacity.
The cost for the proposed expansion of 1,784 square
feet is estimated at $99,695. The request from the
ELC is for additional funding for the construction
and the associated architectural fees. Day care
services has been a long standing priority for the
CDBG program. The requested addition will increase
the facility capacity by approximately 44 children.
The original construction of the Erskine center was
funded through CDBG and the proposed addition was
originally included but then deleted due to
budgetary constraints. Dennis Clayton, AC
Associates, served as the architect on the original
project.
The recommendation is to increase the existing
project budget of $75,000 to $110,000 through an
allocation from the current year's contingency fund.
This will decrease the contingency fund to
$151,392.51.
The CDAC rated this as a high priority project and
also supports the allocation of current year
contingency funding for the project. Staff
recommended approval.
Motion was made by Councilmember Patterson, seconded
by Councilmember Cooke to approve allocation of CDBG
Contingency Funds to the Early Learning Centers of
Lubbock, Inc. as recommended by Staff. Motion

Bern Case, Director of Aviation, presented staff
comments. On July 11, 1991, the City and EG&G
executed an agreement for professional engineering
and design services for the Security Access Control
System in the terminal building. This agreement
included provisions for basic design as well as
construction phase services. Construction phase
engineering costs for services for inspection were
based on estimates since this agreement was executed
prior to the bidding for construction. At the time
of the execution of the engineering agreement, staff
was unaware of these provisions and therefore
included a provision for a maximum limit of $84,518
for construction phase services.
The construction contract was to be completed by
October, 1992 under the terms of the bid award and
would have allowed the completion of the job within
the limits stated for engineering services. The
construction contract remains incomplete at this
time. Numerous difficulties have been encountered
during the project with the general contractor. The
airport and the engineer are presently working to
secure a definite project completion schedule from
the general contractor. This overrun in time has
brought payments to EG&G up to the limit stated in
the engineering services agreement for construction
phase engineering services. In staff's opinion, it
is important to continue EG&G's professional
services agreement during the remaining term of this
project, in the interest of the airport.
February 25, 1993
Page 189
The contract for construction with CEA, Inc. of
Canton, Massachusetts, provides for assessment of
liquidated damages of $1,000 per day in the event
construction was not completed by October 23, 1992,
and this will continue until construction has been
completed. It is expected that this amount will
offset the additional costs the airport has
experienced for engineering and for the term of this
supplemental agreement.
The FAA is aware of the progress on FAA -funded
project and concurs that continuing engineering and
inspection for the remainder of construction is
vital, and with liquidated damages funding the added
engineering costs, the project should remain within
its overall budget.
The Airport Board will review this item in its
regular meeting on February 17 and take action to
recommend the amendment to the City Council for
approval.

RESOLUTION #4095
The City Council must approve the Bylaws of the
Lubbock DFAS Finance and Development Corporation.
These Bylaws were discussed with the City Council in
work session on February 11, 1993.
While the Articles of Incorporation in reality form
the birth certificate for this Corporation, the
Bylaws of the Corporation govern its everyday
operations. The City Council's attention was called
to Page 9 of these Bylaws, Section 2, entitled "City
Council Approval". Except as concerning the DFAS,
all projects and all costs must be approved by the
City Council in accordance with the procedures set
forth on page 9 of these Bylaws.
By approving the Bylaws, Council is approving the
DFAS Center as a project and any costs incurred.
This does not mean that Council approval will not be
required prior to expenditure of these monies. It
merely means that the projects themselves have been
approved and do not need to comply with the
procedures set forth in Section 2(e), page 9, Bylaws
of the Corporation.
Staff recommended approval.
No action was taken at this time. This item was

Following the January 16, 1993 Special Election, the
voters of the City of Lubbock approved a one-half
cent sales tax for the purpose of economic
sdevelopment in accordance with Article 5190.6,
Section 4A.
By Resolution No. 4067, the City Council canvassed
the votes at the above election and certified the
adoption of the proposition for the adoption of the
additional sales tax on the 21st day of January,
1993. Article 5190.6 requires that a nonprofit
corporation be formed to receive the sales tax
heretofore mentioned and to administer its proceeds.
The Articles of Incorporation were discussed in City
Council work session on February 11, 1993, and they
contain the necessary statutory requirements to form
this particular corporation.
February 25, 1993

Prior to the adoption of the Resolution approving

registered office of the
Corporation.

agent for the Corporation.

their addresses and their terms.
(In accordance with the Bylaws,
Article 2, two directors are
appointed for two year terms, two

suggested that the Council nominate
five individuals listing their
addresses, place the names of these
individuals in a hat and draw two
names for a two year term, two names
for a three year term and one name
for a one year term.
4. In addition, the names and addresses
of the three original incorporators
must be included in these Articles
of Incorporation.
The Articles of Incorporation are passed in
triplicate original and forwarded to the Secretary
of State's Office for filing. Upon receipt, the
Secretary of State reviews the Articles of
Incorporation, and if approved, will then attach
three Certificates of Incorporation to the face of
the Articles of Incorporation. The Secretary of
State's Office will keep one original set of the
Articles of Incorporation and forward two sets back
to the City of Lubbock. Upon receipt of the two
sets of the Articles of Incorporation by the City of
Lubbock, the City of Lubbock will file one with the
City Secretary's Office and will forward one to the
initial directors of the Corporation.
Staff recommended adoption of the Resolution
approving the Articles of Incorporation.

Councilmember Patterson to authorize Resolution

Block Grant Regulations. The Statement of

James Miller, who resides at 2010 Urbana Place,
addressed the Council in opposition of strip paving
because of the drainage problems Sandy Ogletree
responded that the paving is consistent with
recommendations.
Harvey Morton, representing the Lubbock Regional
Mental Health and Mental Retardation Center,
requested $150,000 for acquiring a replacement
building for the facility at 1210 Texas Avenue. It
does not meet ADA requirements and it would be cost
prohibitive to attempt to modify the facility to
comply with ADA requirements. MHMR can acquire the
IBM building at a cost of $525,000. This center is
the only center in the state of Texas that does not
have an ad valorem tax base. The center served
5,040 people in fiscal year 1992, 96 percent of whom
are medically indigent. Mr. Morton indicated that
American State Bank will carry the note on the
building, with a $150,000 down payment. The Board
members have agreed to raise $20,000 from their own
resources. They have asked the County of Lubbock to
become a partner in the project with a contribution
of $100,000. They will also apply for grant funding
and seek assistance from other counties.
Max Winn addressed the Council to protest the
administrative costs. Sandy Ogletree responded that
the City of Lubbock's administrative cost is at
about 11 percent; it is eligible to go as high as 20
percent under federal requirements. She further
indicated that the program funding had increased
over 200 percent, but the administrative costs have
remained the same. At Mayor Langston's request,
Mrs. Ogletree reviewed the program's administrative
costs by line item.
Pete Garza, representing the Hispanic Agenda Task
Force, recommended that the fund allocation be based
on input from the community, that the Community
Development Advisory Committee reflect the target
neighborhoods, that an annual evaluation of
previously funded programs be completed by the CDAC
before the program is recommended for funding, that
CDBG funds be made available for economic
development, and that outreach be provided for CDBG
programs, especially housing.
Harold Chatman updated the Council on funding raised
for the Chatman Hospital renovations in the amount
of $165,600. Funds raised are $59,400 short of the
$225,000 needed.

Force, commented on the need for increased
