Commissioner Allford was concemed that more information was not given to the
Commission regarding approval of the Preliminary Plat for Global Development at the
last meeting. Mr. Persaud said staff will be happy to furnish the Commission with a
copy of the time-line on the Plat Approval Process. He stated legal advise was provided
regarding this item and as Director it is his responsibility to follow that advise. Mr.
Persaud also informed the Commissioners that TxDOT approved a new Right-of-Way
delineation for the Global property.
Commissioners were also concerned with the ability of the City to enforce landscaping
ordinances. Mr. Persaud informed them that The Colony Carwash is being cited twice a
week for failure to meet the City's Landscaping Ordinance. In regards to Dave's Liquor
Store not complying with the City's Landscaping Ordinance, that establishment has a
letter from a former Director of Public Works stating that trees not be planted because of
the utility easement. This letter may tie the City's hands in a Court of Law.
He then stated the following are future agenda items:
