Barry Heard addressed the commission, indicating the City Manager had asked them

Ted Tegeny, Project Engineer, addressed ~he commission regarding the p~posed
improvements to IH-35.
The following was discussed:
TxDOT is in the process of scheduling public hearing in the City of Sanger for
proposed improvements to IH-35. This project would most likely not begin until
the year 2015, when the two projects further south are completed.
The project through Sanger will begin at 380 in De~ton and continue to F.M.
3002 North of the Cooke County line.
This is the point where they start the public involvement process. They are
considering three options. One would be to widen IH-35 where it currently sets,
the second option would be to move ·1H-3S to the West, and the third would be
to move IH-35 to the East. The public involvement is to get input as to which of
these would be most favorable, they are hoping to have the f"mal decision and
design completed by the end of 2006.
They are taking into consideration environmental issues, safety, possible
displacements and public input.
Once the project is started, it will take approximately 4 to S yean to complete.
Discussed R.O.W. acquisition.
Jerry Jenkins asked Barry Heard if the City should contact his office regarding local
issues.
Discussion regarding issue on F.M. 45S.
Barry Heard indicated his office is handling this, the job is still programmed. There are
some issues with the plan that need to be worked out.
7. Consider and Possible Action on Changing the Building Code Ordinances for Add-Ons
on Residential.
Samantha Renz addressed the commission and indicated that the City of Lewisville had
prepared a document listing the requirements for several different types of permits. She
indicated that she felt the City of Sanger should adopt a similar document for issuance
to developers.
Discussion followed.
Discussed memo in packet that indicated the Building Inspector had recommended that
a Class C FHA foundation be allowed instead of requiring an engineered foundation
plan on additions to residential dwellings. This would save developers the engineering
costs.
Thomas Muir moved to request that staff formulate an ordinance allowing the Class C
FHA foundation, and prepare the list or needed items to be issued to developers, and
bring back tot he commission for review, and possible recommendation to the City
Council. Gary Bilyeu seconded. Motion carried unanimously.
