4. PUBLIC HEARING ON APPLICATION OF MR. DARYL SIEMENS FOR A
CHANGE OF ZONING ON PROPERTY ZONED AS LIGHT COMMERCIAL,
SEEKING TO HAVE THE COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE AND
ZONING MAP OF THE CITY AMENDED SO AS TO GIVE THE FOLLOWING
DESCRIBED PROPERTY A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR THE OPERATION
OF A PAWN SHOP
7608 MAIN STREET
Motion to open the public hearing - Sharp/second - Bogan - All Ayes
Bob van Til stated the location is at Main Street and Overlake Drive, which is zoned
Light Commercial. Mr. van Til said that none of the ten notices mailed to surrounding land
owners have been returned. Mr. van Til also noted that P & Z reviewed this request on
June 30, 1992 and at that time recommended approval provided the property be landscaped,
the building be of exposed aggregate or brick facade, the lot be properly lighted and a fence
be placed around the back of the property. Concluding, Mr. van Til stated that staff also
recommends approval.
Councilman Dillard asked what type of building would be constructed. Mr. Daryl
Siemens, the owner, said it would be a pre-cast cement building with a typical retail store
front with exposed aggregate. Bill Hall noted that Taco Bueno and Taco Bell are both
exposed aggregate.
Councilman Sharp asked if this request was only for the S.U.P and questioned
approving the request without knowing what the building will look like. Mayor Pro-tem
Marks said Mr. Siemens can't build the building without an S.U.P. Councilman Sharp asked
why the S.U.P and site plan couldn't be done at the same time. Mayor Pro-tem said this
is the appropriate process. Mr. van Til noted that since this is not really building a new
structure from the ground up that site plan approval will not be necessary unless the council
asks for it. Mr. Siemens assured the council that the building will look nice.
Councilman Sharp asked Mr. Siemens how many pawn shops he owns or has owned.
Mr. Siemens said he has managed 2, one of which he owned, noting that he sold the one
in Lewisville to open the one in The Colony. Going on, Mr. Siemens said pawn shops are
regulated by Consumer Credit just like banks, stating that per State law, all police
departments in the State of Texas have access to the pawn tickets, noting that in Lewisville,
the police department came by about once a week to check the tickets. Mr. Siemens said
that if he spotted something suspicious then he would call the police and they would come
004437
right away. Councilman Sharp said he thinks the police should check the tickets daily and
asked what process is followed if the owner thinks property is stolen. Mr. Siemens said the
police department checks it out and if it is determined to be stolen, then the pawn shop
either holds the~merchandise or it is confiscated by the police. Mr. Siemens said he can
bring the tickets by the police department daily if they desire. Going on, Mr. Siemens
explained that in the case of stolen property, a hearing is held and the judge decides if the
property should be given back to the owner or if the pawn shop has a right to the property.
Councilman Bogan noted that since 50% of the building is being reconstructed, he
believes site plan approval will be necessary and asked who recommended the exposed
aggregate. Mr. van Til stated the P & Z Commission made that recommendation.
Mayor Pro-tem Marks asked Mr. van Til if we can ensure that the building will go
through the new building procedure and Mr. van Til said he would see to it.
Councilman Agnew said the building still has to meet codes whether there is a site
plan approval or not and asked if this site will have to comply with landscaping
requirements. Mr. van Til agreed and advised it will have to comply with all codes, noting
that even though the building is in the old Eastvale section, it is not "grandfathered"
regarding the landscaping ordinance.
Councilman Sharp asked if Mr Siemens was purchasing the property and what would
happen if the S.U.P. is postponed until the council can see the site plan. Mr. Siemens said
he is waiting for the council decision before moving on, since the next step, architect, etc.
can be quite expensive. Mr. Vince Boldin, real estate agent in this case, said the council
needs to let Mr. Siemens know if they want his business in the city and said the logical
procedure is to acquire zoning then work out what the building will look like.
Ken Wood, 5000 N Colony addressed the council, stating the agenda is posted for a
Public Hearing on a change of zoning, not what type of building. Mr. Wood said he has
attended council meetings for year and this has been the procedure for years. Going on,
Mr. Wood said there have been lots of letters to the editor regarding the anti-business
attitude of the council and he (Mr. Wood) thinks that this man (Siemens) is not getting a
fair deal. Mr. Wood said Mr. Siemens knows the procedure and it is not fair to change that
procedure in the middle of a public hearing.
Councilman Dillard asked what type of merchandise would be sold, and Mr. Siemens
said he tries to lean toward what the community needs, ie, in The Colony it will be fishing
equipment, tools, etc, noting that fire arms will be available, stating that he does have a
federal license for that. Councilman Dillard said that anything that will remove the existing
building will be an improvement. Councilman Sharp noted that apparently the surrounding
neighbors don't have a problem with the proposal.
Motion to close the public hearing - Agnew/second - Sharp - All Ayes.

6. PUBLIC HEARING ON APPLICATION OF MR. ROBERT CARNIERO FOR A
CHANGE OF ZONING ON PROPERTY ZONED AS INDUSTRIAL, SEEKING
TO HAVE THE COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE AND ZONING
MAP OF THE CITY AMENDED SO AS TO GIVE THE FOLLOWING
DESCRIBED PROPERTY A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT FOR THE OPERATION
OF A SALVAGE YARD
PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED NORTH OF
OVERLAKE DRIVE, THE COLONY, TEXAS, GARZA
LITFLE ELM ESTATE, BLOCK 4 LOTS 11 THROUGH 18
Motion to open the public hearing - Sharp/second - Bogan - All Ayes
Mr. van Til said that P & Z addressed this request on June 30, 1992 and have
recommended approval provided that: approval is obtained from the Corps of Engineers to
put up a screening wall,[since part of the property is in the flood plain], the property is
6
004435
screened and landscaping is provided. Mr. van Til also said staff recommends the screening
be at least 6 feet in height and constructed of material which will block the view of the
salvage yard from the public, going on to say a masonry wall is preferable.
Mr. van Til said another issue addressed was oils and other fluids, stating that the
Texas. Water Commission (TWC) was contacted and it was found that the TWC inspects
salvage yards on a random basis and responds to complaints. If oil is to be stored on
premise, a special permit will be required from the TWC.
Going on, Mr. van Til said the city owns Lot 10 and uses it to drain effluent from the
wastewater treatment plant into Stewart Creek. Mr. van Til said the previous owner of Lots
11- 18, Jack Root, placed fill in the area without a permit, consequently burying the outfall
pipe, all of which resulted in a claim against Mr. Root to exhume the pipe, encase the pipe
and if so desired, placed properly permitted fill back on the lot. Mr. van Til said that
although the outstanding claim is against Mr. Root, Mr. Carniero must ensure that the fill,
not only adjacent to Lot 10, but also along the lots servicing his property, have proper
compaction and fill, which can only be accomplished by removing the existing fill and
replacing it in accordance with city requirements.
Mr. Ken Wood, 5000 N. Colony asked for clarification of this operation and what it
will look like, ie, will there be only auto parts or actual automobiles on the site.
Bob van Til said the area is on Overlake Dr. just north of the wastewater treatment
plant. Mr. van Til. said 5 notices were sent out and only one was returned, which was not
in favor of this change in zoning. Mr. van Til said if the council approves the S.U.P. then
Mr. Carniero will have to come back for site plan approval.
Councilman Agnew asked if this is adjacent to Corps property and expressed concern
over possible contamination of the stream, and asked if federal approval is needed. Mr. van
Til said it is adjacent to Corps land but there are regulations regarding this type of business,
noting however, that Council can require certain conditions for approval of the S.U.P, such
as a non-permeable surface for the lot itself.
Councilman Sharp asked Mr. Carniero if he was aware of the problem with the fill
and Mr. Carniero said he was not aware of the problem when he purchased the property
and that he does not think he should have to cover someone else's mistakes which were
made in 1984. Councilman Sharp asked how many cars would be on the lot at one time.
Mr. Carniero said 10 - 30, noting that he wants to get vehicles that will turn fast, ie, new
cars. Mr. Carniero said he will really only have the parts of cars on hand, stating that after
he has removed the sellable parts, the chassis will be hauled away as soon as possible.
Going on, Mr. Carniero said there would be a 20' x 30' building and stated the lot would
be crushed stone.
Councilman Dillard asked if he would be doing any painting of vehicles or cleaning
and Mr. Carniero said he would not.
Mr. Don Amick, 5021 Walker asked what would be done with the fluids from the
cars and the batteries. Mr. Carniero said the fluid stays in the motor; it will not be drained,
noting that of course, some does leak out, but he will try to keep it from leaking into the
ground.
Mayor Pro-tem Marks asked about Mr. Carniero's current business. Mr. Carniero
said he co-owns a paint and body shop, noting that he does have a dealer's license and said
004440
he feels this is a good opportunity.
Mr. Don Brackeen, 5233 Miller Cir. asked about transmission fluid leaking out and
freon recovery. Mr. Carniero said a pan will catch the transmission fluid and it will then
be sold, and regarding freon, Mr. Carniero said he will follow the federal rules regarding
freon and that he will do whatever it takes to make this work, going on to say he believes
there are a lot of potential customers in The Colony.
Don Amick asked how the tax is based, is it based on the land or on the assets sitting
on the lot. Mr. Hall responded that more will be received from property taxes than on
assets.
Mayor Pro-tem Marks asked how we stand on the problem with Mr. Root. Mr. Hall
said this property was in Eastvale when the improper fill was put in and said the city did
address the problem with Mr. Root before the consolidation (Eastvale/The Colony). Mr.
Hall went on to say Mr. Root covered up the only effluent line to the lake, and noted there
is a lot of debris in the fill. Going on, Mr. Hall said all adjacent property owners were
notified that if the property ever develops the fill must be removed, the line encased and
select fill put in. Mr. Hall said the city has met with Mr. Root 3 times and said he (Mr.
Root) should have informed Mr. Carnlero, stating if the S.U.P is approved, the line must
be encased.
Mr. Carniero said the City should have put a lien on the property so Mr. Root could
not have sold it without correcting the problem. Bill Hall offered to meet with Mr. Carnlero
tomorrow so he can hear the full story. Mr. Carniero said if he upgrades the road it will
only benefit the city and the other property owners. Mr. Hall said according to a 1983
ordinance, costs for infrastructure are the responsibility of the developer.
Mr. Vince Boldin, said when Mr. Carniero received the letter concerning this
problem, he (Boldin) made several calls and found that several Eastvale officials were aware
of the fill and approved of it. Going on, Mr. Boldin said when Atkins Bros. put in the sewer
system, they set two meters and dug a 27 foot trench in the road. Mr. Boldin said the title
company has no record of a formal dispute being filed and said this should have never been
brought up in this process.
Motion to close the public hearing -Sharp/second - Sharp - All Ayes.

9. CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CODE OF
ORDINANCES BY AMENDING SECTION 6, ARTICLE VIII RELATING TO
REGISTRATION OF CONTRACTORS
Councilman Bogan said this ordinance as passed is vague and he recommends a
change regarding the insurance requirements. The Councilman said the state requires that
certain contractors have insurance and it is not the city's responsibility to require insurance,
going on to say he does not think it can be enforced. Councilman Bogan recommended not
requiring insurance unless the State requires it.
Bill Hall said the amendment as prepared reverts back to the policy used in the city
for years, which requires registration of a contractor for which a permit is required, and the
amounts of insurance have been deleted.
John Schmahl, 5012 Thompson, said he is an 11 year resident and a contractor and
he thinks contractors should be required to carry insurance, stating the people having work
done should want that too, in case an accident happens. Councilman Marks asked if he had
done business in other cities and Mr. Schmahl said in Arlington and Lewisville insurance
or a bond is required, but nothing is required in Dallas.
Robert Dierks, 5220 Rutledge, said all contractors should have liability insurance no
matter what type of business they are in, noting the city requires $500,000 for public works
projects and said all should have to show insurance and all jobs should require permits.
Councilman Bogan agreed all should have insurance but said the issue at hand is --
whether the city should take on the responsibility of requiring insurance, when it is probably
not enforceable, going on to say if we (city) require it, the citizens will assume the
contractor has insurance, when they may only have a card.
Mayor Manning said he would like to see contractors show proof of insurance when
they pull a permit. Councilman Dillard recommended that all contractors show proof of
insurance. Mayor Manning said we could not possible enforce that. Councilman Dillard said
if a contractor is licensed to do business in the city, then we should require proof of
insurance in the amount of $500,000, noting that right now roofers and concrete flat work
contractors do not need a permit and it is unfair to require insurance of some and not of
others.
Councilman Bogan said this will give the homeowners a false illusion that every
contractor has insurance and we have no way to enforce it.
Mayor Manning asked if the Inspections Dept. checks for insurance at the beginning
and ending of a job. Mr. Hall said that could be done, but it would be hard to track and
if it is found someone has proof of insurance and we stop the job, we will have many irate
homeowners.
Councilman Agnew asked if the city could be notified of lapses. Mr. Hall said on city
projects, the city requires to be named as the additional insured, we require specific amounts
and notice of lapse, but the city is the owner. Going on, Mr. Hall said when the resident
is the homeowner, the city cannot control what type of insurance is carried.
Councilman Marks said it seems simple to call to verify insurance, but what liability .. -
10
00444
does the city assiiriie' if we (city) control insurance coverage and damages do occur, stating
the city attorney should be consulted before a vote is taken.
Mayor Manning said we could approve this ordinance as is and then bring it back if
council has other items of concern.
Motion to approve as is - Bogan; No second, motion dies.
10. CONSIDERATION OF APPROVING A CHANGE IN LIBRARY SERVICE
HOURS AS RECOMMENDED BY THE LIBRARY BOARD
Bill Hall said the recently imposed hiring freeze prompted a recommendation by the
Library Board to reduce the service hours at the Library. Mr. Hall said he had approved
the change temporarily but that it needs council approval to be permanent. Councilman
Bogan asked how many people use the Library during the hours that are recommended to
be eliminated. Joan Sveinsson, Library Director used graphs to show that 133 people use
the Library during those hours, and stated that it is felt that these hours will have the least
impact on the patrons.
Councilman Agnew asked if there had been any feedback from patrons and if other
hours had been reviewed. Ms. Sveinsson said concern had been expressed but not anger,
and said the Librarians are now doing circulation duties, noting all employees are stretched.
Mayor Manning asked what has happened to the volunteers. Ms. Sveinsson said it
is hard for volunteers to maintain the continuity which is demanded by patrons in a Library
of this size, noting they expect a professional staff. Ken Wood, representing the Board
agreed, stating they are caught between a rock and a hard place, and said as the Library
grows, the volunteers fade, and said he is concerned about salaried professionals doing the
job of clerical staff.
Motion to approve the recommendation - Marks; second - Sharp. Motion carried with a
unanimous roll call vote.
11. CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION APPOINTING ONE MEMBER TO
THE BOARD OF MANAGERS OF THE DENCO AREA 9-1-1 DISTRICT
Mr. Hall explained the council can reappoint John McGrane or nominate someone
else to serve. There were no other nominations.
Motion to approve the resolution as written - Bogan; second - Dillard. Motion carried with
unanimous roll call vote.
12. CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF A GENERAL DEBT SERVICE SEMI-
ANNUAL BOND PAYMENT
Mr. James England gave a presentation, using overheads, to explain the budget
shortfall that has prompted the $50,000 transfer from the land fund. (See Attachment "A")
11
004444
Mayor Manning asked if the $50,000 will be repaid and Mr. England said it will not.
Mayor Manning questioned Mr. England, stating that last year when the budget was
approved, everything appeared O.K. and wondered just where the $50,000 shortfall comes
from. Going on, Mayor Manning said $22,000 is accounted for but there's $28,000
unaccounted for. Bill Hall said that will be addressed in the upcoming budget process and
noted that all shortfalls have contributed to this $50,000 amount. Mayor Manning stated
this is definitely a contingency that no one could foresee. Mr. England reminded the council
that the land fund is the last contingency fund the city has.
Motion to approve the transfer as recommended - Bogan; second - Sharp. Motion carried
with a unanimous roll call vote.
13. CONSIDERATION OF APPOINTMENT OF A COUNCILMEMBER TO SERVE
ON THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION COUNCIL
Mr. van Til said it is very important for the city to become involved in this council.
Councilman Marks asked why we were just now learning about this. Mr. van Til explained
that for some reason, the Colony was not made aware that these things were going on until
the end of June, 1992. Going on, Mr. van Til said he and Hal Jones, traffic engineer
attended 3 or 4 meetings in July and prepared the city's list of needs and projects.
The council discussed the heavy schedule of the Transportation Council as well as
the location of the meetings, all agreeing this would be a major commitment on the
members.
Mayor Manning and the council agreed more information is needed before anyone
can agree to serve and asked Mr. van Til to get with Commissioner Jacobs for specifics.
Motion to postpone to August 10, 1992 - Agnew; second - Dillard. Motion carried with a
unanimous roll call vote.
14. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
1. Mr. Hall advised that recently the city had licensed Jerry Young as a chemical
applicator in compliance with State law. The Texas Department of Agriculture recently
conducted a "no notice" inspection in The Colony and found nothing derogatory, which
speaks well for Jerry.
2. Texas Water Commission recently did their annual inspection of the
wastewater treatment plant and found no defects.
3. City Manager Assistance Advisory Committee - met last Friday and the packet
received from the meeting indicates that The Colony ad valorem tax will drop to the 7th
highest in the metroplex instead of 1st if the other cities in the area approve the proposed
tax increases. The committee is made up of 20 cities and all have indicated decreased
revenues, decreased tax base, increased insurance rates, hiring freezes and reductions in
12
004446
force. The Colony is not the only city with problems.
With no further business to address, Mayor Manning adjourned the meeting at 10:16
p.m.
