1. CITIZEN COMMENTS PERIOD
1.1. Truett Craft, on behalf of Craft Development Corporation and M&M
Homes, appeared before the City Council concerning the Northeast
Lubbock Development project.
Truett Craft addressed Council regarding his concerns on the Casa Linda
project, which has been in planning for over a year now, and is being forced to
compete with the North and East Lubbock Community Development
Corporation. Craft stated that he would like to proceed with their project but
would like to have some considerations of somehow interfacing with the CDC
Project. Craft Development Corporation and M&M Homes have built
approximately fifty homes in the Northeast Lubbock area. Plans were made
for approximately one hundred homes.
Mark Prickett, on behalf of Ruby Tequila's, 8601 University Avenue,
addressed Council on the Touring Vehicle ordinance on today's agenda.
Prickett stated that policies have been implemented regarding the party bus,
and he suggested that the rest of the companies in town do the same. He feels
that these changes should eliminate any of the problems that have happened
before with the party buses and asked Council to consider them when
rewriting the ordinance. Effective immediately, the Ruby Tequila party buses
will:
■ no longer enter neighborhoods,
■ no longer allow alcohol on the bus if there is any under the age of 21
on the bus,
■ require drivers to check identification of anyone entering the bus. If
someone under the age of 21 tries to enter the bus while there is
alcohol on board, they will either not be allowed to enter the bus or the
alcohol will have to be removed before that person enters the bus.
■ no longer be rented to anyone under the age of 21.
Citizens addressing Council in support of completion of the McAlister
Park/Challenger Little League Project were:
■ Jeff Gibson, 5712 84th St.

revitalization of the mid -town area that has not been adopted, but has a
number of sound policy suggestions in it. The project should have little or no
effect on the thoroughfare system.
The Planning Commission recommended the request with a condition:
Tied to the proposed site plan for ZC 1826E.
Staff supports the Planning Commission recommendation.

The request is consistent with the current practice of a twenty -foot front
setback on standard homes and duplex structures as well as the proposed
garden home area. The proposal also is consistent with zoning policy.
The project will have no more impact on the thoroughfare system than
anticipated.
The Planning Commission recommended the request with the following

2. That curb cuts on the proposed Tract A shall be approved by
TxDOT.
Since the Planning Commission hearing, the applicant has asked that two
more strikes be added to the list above and that City Council consider an
amendment to the curb cut condition since the tract is going to be platted as a
single tract. Staff will confer with the applicant and propose the two
amendments at the hearing. Staff is in support of the project, subject to the
changed conditions.
5.5. ZONE CASE NO. 3050 (northeast corner of FM 1585 and Quaker
Avenue) — 2"d Reading: ORDINANCE NO. 2005-00128—Consider the
request of Mike Thoma (for Excel Land Development) for a zoning
change from T to R-1 Specific Use for reduced setback, GO, R-1 Specific
Use for town homes, R-2 Specific Use for reduced setback, and C-3 on
160 acres of unplatted land out of Section 22, Block E-2.
ORDINANCE NO.2005-00128
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 7084 AND THE
OFFICIAL MAP OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK MAKING THE FOLLOWING
CHANGES: ZONE CASE NO. 3050; A ZONING CHANGE FROM T TO C-3, GO,
R-1 SPECIFIC USE FOR TOWNHOMES, R-1 SPECIFIC USE FOR REDUCED
SETBACKS, AND R-2 SPECIFIC USE FOR REDUCED SETBACKS ON 160
ACRES OF UNPLATTED LAND OUT OF SECTION 22, BLOCK E-2, LUBBOCK,
TEXAS; SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS; PROVIDING A PENALTY, PROVIDING A
SAVINGS CLAUSE AND PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION.
The request in the just annexed area, this parcel is the quarter section north
and east of the intersection of FM 1585 and Quaker Avenue.
The dominant land use in all directions is vacant.
The request will meet the policies set out in the yet to be approved
Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the two square mile area. One issue being
discussed and reviewed as a possible change in land use policy appears to be
present on this proposal. The strip parcels along Quaker Avenue are requested
as Garden Office, which is a buffer district by definition versus true
commercial. The reason staff is making a distinction for this design is that the
decision to return to a style of "strip commercial" along thoroughfares with a
carefully governed number of curb returns has not been presented to the
Planning Commission or City Council as a policy change at this point.
The primary unresolved issue before proposing a Comprehensive Land Use
Amendment is the potential for adding too much commercial to the inventory
of zoned land in various parts of town, a practice that is not good. The amount
of property zoned for various uses should approximate the actual need versus
a policy of over -zoning for commercial and being trapped into a situation of
either vacant or substandard development being the result. Although the
owners of land would like for all property to be zoned commercial initially,
454
Regular City Council Meeting
November 7, 2005
Page 455
the reality that residential is the greatest consumer of land eventually wins the
battle. If land is zoned commercial prematurely, it is very difficult to return it
to residential values without an owner losing a large amount of money; having
bought at commercial rates and sold at residential rates, or foreclosure of the
property because of a loan failure. These types of issues are not entirely a
public decision making situation, but the public process of zoning should not
intentionally create the situation.
The Planning Department is running land use totals for numerous developed
portions of the City to get an "average" of needs per square mile before any
change to the current 660-foot by 660-foot policy is proposed for change. But,
as noted in several earlier zone cases, the basis for not allowing strip
commercial after adoption of the 1975 Comprehensive Land Use Plan was to
limit access to the thoroughfares between mile intersections, not to restrain
trade or not have strip commercial. A second reason for the 660-foot by
660-foot commercial corners was, and is, to allow development of smaller
retail shops in conjunction with a major tenant; but the number of major
tenants has not been enough to provide one on each corner. As Lubbock
continues to increase in size and move outward, the number of corners
becomes geometrically greater in number and major establishments serving as
anchors are limited. Reverting to commercial "strip zoning" will not create the
concentration of retail that is now advocated, but with strict governance of
curb cuts the benefit to the public - being able to negotiate the thoroughfare
system with the least competition from side entry - will be the same, and no
one will have to live next to a thoroughfare. For years the current style of
development has been criticized by some, but all of those lots adjacent to
thoroughfares have developed and seem to co -exist quite well. This entire
dialog is to say that staff is not ready to make the leap of change for strip
commercial at this time, and will advocate making the change very carefully if
the acreage numbers prove an additional need.
Also as noted in earlier cases, several locations in the southwest part of town
have chosen to down zone to duplex or single family from the original ten
acre allotment, while several corners have generated a greater amount of need
for commercial acres than ten — all of which points to the need to carefully
adapt to conditions established by the Comprehensive Plan as market needs
are manifested.
The Planning Commission recommended the request with the following
conditions:
1. The commercial parcel shall be limited to two curb returns on Quaker
Avenue, and two commercial curb returns on FM 1585 (the FM 1585
portions of the plat are subject to approval for all street and curb
returns by TxDOT).
2. The two Garden Office tracts adjacent to Quaker Avenue shall be
limited to two curb returns each, and provision of a cross -access
easement shall be submitted with the platting of any portion of each
tract.
3. The Garden Office tract adjacent to FM 1585 shall be allowed only
one curb return if approved by TxDOT.
4. A site plan review of the materials, layout, and design of the
commercial tract shall be approved by the Planning Commission prior
to a construction permit being issued.
Staff supports the Planning Commission recommendation.
5.6. ZONE CASE NO.3051 (12402 Slide Road) — 2nd Reading: ORDINANCE
NO.2005-00129—Consider the request of Ken Flagg (for Richard Webb)
for a zoning change from T to IHC Specific Use for an office warehouse
development on Tract B, Sandy Mariah Estates Addition.

OFFICIAL MAP OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK MAKING THE FOLLOWING
CHANGES: ZONE CASE NO. 3051; A ZONING CHANGE FROM T TO IHC
SPECIFIC USE FOR AN OFFICE WAREHOUSE DEVELOPMENT ON TRACT B,
SANDY MARIAH ESTATES ADDITION, LUBBOCK, TEXAS; SUBJECT TO
CONDITIONS; PROVIDING A PENALTY, PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE
AND PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION.
This parcel is within the recently annexed area. The Planning Department is
continuing to work on an overall Comprehensive Plan amendment for the area
but Mr. Webb would like to get started on a project that mirrors a project built
to the south of the County Road adjacent to Slide Road (approximately 1241h
Street).
Adjacent land uses:
North — commercial
South — commercial
East — vacant
West — residential
The request is in concert with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan that is in
draft form in the Planning Department, but has yet to be presented and
approved by the Planning Commission and City Council.
The project is utilizing a Specific Use Permit to address setback from 1241h
Street (normally a 43 foot dimension would be required), but in this instance
residential exists to the west and the setback will match the residential. In
addition, the site plan will establish the number of parking spaces since the
exact split between office and storage area for each business space has yet to
be determined. The project to the north was constructed in a similar manner
and the applicant reports that no parking issues have occurred.
The project should not negatively impact the thoroughfare system. TxDOT
will have the final say regarding the number of curb cuts allowed to Slide
Road.
The Planning Commission recommended the request as Interstate Commercial
with several conditions:
1. Tied to the proposed site plan with the ability for minor adjustments
for building locations based on final survey and plat requirements.
2. Tied to the number of parking spaces illustrated on the plan as a
minimum.
3. Subject to approval by TxDOT for curb cuts to Slide Road.
4. Tied to the proposed building elevation style presented in the
application.
Staff supports the Planning Commission recommendation.
5.7. This item was considered following Item 5.20.

A copy of the Purchase Order is filed with Resolution No. 2005-R0505.
This item involves the sole source purchase of automatic wastewater samplers
and flow monitoring equipment designed to measure the flow in sewer and
stormwater lines. This equipment is used to collect wastewater samples
required by the City of Lubbock's Texas Commission on Environmental
Quality permit, the pretreatment program, the wastewater surcharge program,
and to enforce the wastewater ordinance limits. The flow meters are used to
collect flow weighted composite samples, measure flow in municipal sewer
lines and flow from permitted industrial customers, commercial customers,
and stormwater drain lines.
The equipment is used year round at various locations to monitor the
municipal sewer system and stormwater drainage system. The additional flow
meters are needed to address additional monitoring stations. The current
15-year-old samplers and flow meters are no longer supported by the factory
and have numerous equipment failures including sampler -housing sections
that are cracking.
Teledyne Isco brand equipment is required to communicate with existing
sampling and flow metering Teledyne Isco equipment installed at the Water
Reclamation Plant and at permitted industrial sewer customers. This brand of
equipment is also required to communicate with existing stormwater flow
metering and sampling equipment. C. C. Lynch & Associates is the sole
source supplier of Teledyne Isco automatic wastewater sampling and flow
monitoring equipment in Lubbock County.
FISCAL IMPACT
A total of $93,860 was appropriated with $89,255 available in the Stormwater

A copy of the Exhibit "A" is filed with Resolution No. 2005-R0513.
The City is in the stages of acquiring right-of-way for the 50th Street Widening
Project from Slide Road westward to Loop 289. Twenty parcels will be
acquired for this project. This resolution authorizes the Right -of -Way
Department to make an offer to the Trustees of the Faith Assembly of God
Church, Lubbock, Texas, jointly with the West Texas District Council of the
Assemblies of God, for one of these parcels. This parcel is located on the
north side of 50th Street, just east of Belmont Avenue. At the February 10,
2005 City Council meeting, City Council approved through Resolution
#2005-R0046 an offer of $200,000 to the Church, the amount appraised by
Tommy Cantrell, MAI. Since this acquisition appears to be going to
condemnation, Mr. Cantrell has updated his appraisal that indicates a new
value of $14,907 for the land and improvements being taken with an
additional $235,093 as damages to the remainder for a total offer to the
Church of $250,000. The damages are due since the new right-of-way line
intersects the very south end of the Church building and leaves it with zero
setback from 501h Street. The updated total appraised value of the taking is
$250,000, which is the recommended offer to the Trustees of the Faith
Assembly of God Church, Lubbock, Texas, jointly with the West Texas
District Council of the Assemblies of God. This resolution also authorizes the
City to institute condemnation proceedings to acquire this property if the offer
is refused.

A copy of the Amendment is filed with Resolution No. 2005-R0514.
For 15 years the state environmental agency, presently the Texas Commission
on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), assumed responsibility for management
of, and financing for, assessment and remediation activities related to a large
plume of groundwater contamination in the vicinity of LP&L Plant 1. The
plume includes contaminant contributions from multiple sites including
LP&L, the former Fleet Services Garage, and Fire Administration
Maintenance. In September, TCEQ formally directed the City to assume that
responsibility because the site no longer meets State Lead Program or
Brownfields Site Assessment eligibility criteria. Program eligibility was
withdrawn because one or more non -petroleum contaminants located in the
soil at LP&L (possibly chromium, barium, naphthalene, and/or PCBs) were
found to have secondarily leached into the petroleum -contaminated
groundwater plume. The City is required to complete assessment of the nature
and extent of all contamination and to remove contaminants in both soil and

ground water to the degree required by law. Noncompliance can result in
significant penalties.
In November 1995, the City entered into an agreement with Enprotec, Inc. for
provision of engineering services and remediation of fuel spills related to
leaking underground storage tanks at various City facilities. This local firm
has successfully brought multiple City leaking underground storage tank sites
to the desired closure status with TCEQ, at reasonable cost, and has the
additional advantage of having done some of the original assessment on this
specific location for the state environmental agency. The requested
amendment will allow Enprotec, Inc. to assist the City with assessment
activities required by law at this site.

The amount of $50,000 was approved by City Council for this phase of the
project.

JRPOSES RESPECTING 1) GENERAL FUND; 2) ELECTRIC FUND; 3)
-NERAL CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND; 4) PARKS CAPITAL FUND; AND 5)
ATER FUND. (AMENDMENT #3)
The Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) may be
amended throughout the year to provide for the changing funding needs of the
City. Budget amendment #3 amends the adopted FY 2005-06 Operating
Budget and CIP as follows:
The establishment of a Capital Improvement Project for the environmental
assessment of Plant #1 in the General Capital Projects Fund. The $50,000 cost
of the assessment will be shared equally between the City and LP&L, with
$25,000 coming from each fund balance.
The closure of Capital Improvement Project 90007 - Canyon Lakes Dam #4,
in the Parks Capital Projects Fund. This project was originally voted on as a
bond project in the 1999 bond election. Since that time, the project has
required re -engineering several times due to the discovery of historical
artifacts. As a result, the new location is undesirable and does not fall in line
with the original intent of the project. Staff recommended this project be
closed and the funding reallocated to other projects in the Parks Capital
Projects Fund. The remaining GO Bond funding in this project is currently
$2,256,914.
In 2002 the City received a $500,000 matching grant from Texas Parks and
Wildlife (TP&W) to construct McAlister Park and associated amenities.
Funding for this project was requested through the CIP process, but was not
recommended. An additional $800,000 is needed to complete the lighting,
ADA infrastructure, parking lots, roads, and amenities. Funding was never
budgeted for the match of this grant. Without the completion of this project,
the City would have to pay TP&W $234,000 for work already reimbursed by
the state. The grant from TP&W includes Challenger Little League Field, a
Little League for the physically challenged.
Staff is recommending that the remaining GO Bond funding of $2,256,914 be
reallocated as follows:
• To a new CIP project for McAlister Park Improvements
$ 800,000
MES

• To CIP project 90384 - Challenger Little League Sports
275,000
Total Reallocation $1,075,000
The remaining $1,181,914 is available to be reallocated in the future.
The total appropriation for the new CIP project for McAlister Park
Improvements is $1,300,000, funded through a $500,000 grant from Texas
Parks and Wildlife and $800,000 from 1999 GO Bonds.
The additional appropriation for CIP project 90384 - Challenger Little League
Sports changes the total appropriation to $648,000, funded through a $95,000
grant from Texas Parks and Wildlife, an $86,000 private donation, $192,000
from already approved City funds, and $275,000 from 1999 GO Bonds.
To establish a new CIP project for the replacement and installation of
backflow devices on city -owned facilities, an appropriation of $100,000 for
this project is proposed from the Water Fund balance. This project is in
response to City Council direction to ensure all facilities are in compliance
with the ordinance. Facilities Management is assisting with the inspection of
all city -owned facilities.
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be a $25,000 impact to the General Fund balance and a $25,000
impact to the Electric Fund balance.
The reallocation of General Obligation Bonds has no impact to the operating
budget, and as the bonds have already been issued, no additional debt will be
issued for these projects.
There is a $100,000 impact to the Water Fund balance.

A copy of the Agreement is filed with Resolution No. 2005-R0516.
This easement agreement will allow the City to construct a retaining wall and
sidewalk along the south wall of the Municipal Building on American State
Bank (ASB) property. This installation is required to minimize the infiltration
of rainwater into the first floor and basement areas. An easement is required
since the City property line is the south wall of the Municipal Building. ASB
is granting the property easement, but construction and maintenance costs of
the retaining wall and sidewalk are the sole responsibility of the City.
FISCAL IMPACT
ASB agreed to provide the requested easement if the City will construct a
foundation for an emergency generator being installed to insure continuous
operation of the data processing center, and to correct the deterioration of their
driveway. The City agreed to pay ASB $2,250 for the emergency generator
vendor to construct the foundation. In addition the City Street Engineering
Department designed and provided construction documents for a solution to
the water retention being experienced in the ASB driveway during rainfall
periods. A capital project has not been established to construct the retaining
wall. A budget amendment will be forthcoming when cost estimates are
completed to establish and recommended funding for a retaining wall project.
Based on the need for correcting the water infiltration problems into the
Municipal Building, staff recommended approval of the easement agreement.
Assistant City Manager Quincy White gave comments and answered
questions from Council. City Manager Lee Ann Dumbauld and Facilities
Manager Harlan Stauffer also answered questions from Council.

The establishment of the Low to Moderate Income Neighborhood
Infrastructure Program will provide low to moderate -income neighborhoods
with needed infrastructure such as sidewalks, paving in unpaved areas, park
improvements, and possible grant match funding as approved by City Council.
This program will be funded through a dedication of revenue from the City's
gas and oil lease. The City is a participant with TexLand and others in the
recovery of natural resources in the northeast part of Lubbock. As a
participant, the City receives annual revenues from the mining operations. In
FY 2004-05 this amount is estimated to be $397,500. The actual unaudited
revenue for FY 2004-05 was $538,633. The amount received from this
program changes with market conditions.

When the actual revenue exceeds the previous year's actual, 50% of the
overage between the previous year actual and the current year's actual, would
be dedicated for use in this program. At the close of each year the amount of
overage will be determined, at which time City Council will appropriate the
available funding for a specific project or grant match.
Providing this additional funding will allow for minor neighborhood
improvements throughout low and moderate -income areas. It will also provide
funding that could be used as a grant match to obtain additional funds that
would not have otherwise been received.
FISCAL IMPACT
The additional funding dedicated to this program would otherwise go to the
General Fund Balance. The annual amount will vary based on the market
price of oil.
Staff recommended approval of this resolution.
