Extension of Houston Street between Fifth and Third Streets - Royce Jones, Jimmy Rehm, and Wade Parsons have inquired about the possibiltity of opening Houston Street between 5th and 3rd Streets.

These three property owners claim there was no drainage problem in the area before the property was subdivided and developed along Houston Street, Hillcrest Street, Kathryn Lane, and Marcia Street. They feel the City should have required a better drainage plan of the developers and that the City is somewhat responsible for allowing the drainage across their property. They come to Council inquiring what the City will do toward working with them to solve the drainage problem. The estimated cost for the street work for 2 blocks is $25,200 ($60.00 a running foot). Residents want to know if the City would be willing to participate in any part of the construction. Cooper was for the City possibly providing the base work such as grading. Mayor Cole stated the City should not do anything until the drainage ditches were opened up and easements secured.

Hampton, Danny Spindle and Benny Bridges Absent: John Coker Others Present. Lloyd Henderson, Mary Jo Stover, and J.W. Bucklew 1. Consider J.W. Bucklew's request for the construction of a half street on Freese Drive - Mayor Cole brought out the fact that the last thing to come before the Council was the approval of the Preliminary Plat on Section III, Block A. Bucklew-Freese Addition. Staff reviewed previous city council minutes and found that Bucklew's Final Plat had not been approved by Council or Planning & Zoning. A final plat is however on record at the County Clerks Office but it is unsigned by the city officials and does not bear the appropriate seals, which makes it an illegal document. It was the general consensus of the Council that the unaccounted for "final plat" be sent back to P & Z. In the last P & Z meeting they said they felt like, if the subdivision had already been approved then the half street should be granted, if not, P & Z opposed the half street. If not apprOVed, then Bucklew should submit back to P &Z and start all over.
