"Request by John Tanner Auto Sales for variance to the
Sign Ordinance for use of advertising banners and pen-
nants on a continual basis."

to allow the use of advertising banners and pennants at his place

Mayor Pro Tem Farmer closed the public hearing.
The Council discussed with Mr. Tanner the type of pennants
to be used, the use of the pennants and banners and the necessity
of keeping them neat in appearance, where they would be placed on
the business, impact of this use on the surrounding residential
neighborhood, any complaints received on the use of them, and
the consideration of establishing a time frame for the use of
them at this business.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilman Daugherty and seconded
by Councilman Rodenbaugh, the Council voted three (3)
for and two (2) opposed, with Councilmen Offutt and
McClure casting the negative votes and Mayor Pierson
abstaining from voting, to grant the variance request

Mr. Charlie O'Reilly, Owner/Operator of the McDonald's
Restaurant to be located west of U. S. 75 and south of F.M. 2170,
spoke before the Council on his request for two (2) variances to

Section III, paragraph F(1), in order to erect a McDonald's
freestanding pole sign at a height of 74' and with a face size of
394 square feet. Regulations of the Sign Ordinance state that
a sign may not be more than 40 feet in height and with a face
size of not more than 128 square feet. Mr. O'Reilly advised
that the permitted size and height allowed by the Sign Ordinance
could not be seen at this location and without the requested
variances he would suffer a hardship.
Mayor Pierson opened the public hearing. Mr. Bill Haupt,
624 Roaming Road, spoke before the Council in favor of this
variance request. With no one else wishing to speak either for
or against this request, the public hearing was closed by Mayor
Pierson.
The Council discussed with Mr. O'Reilly the need for this
height and size, the use of a billboard sign to direct traffic
to the McDonald's location, the structure of the sign, and the
variances granted by other cities for these signs.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilman Daugherty and seconded
by Mayor Pro Tem Farmer, the Council voted four (4) for
and two (2) opposed, with Councilmen Offutt and McClure
casting the negative votes, to grant the two (2) variance
requests for the McDonald's Corporation freestanding pole
sign at a height of 74' and a face size of 394 square feet,
to be located west of U. S. 75 and south of F. M. 2170.
The motion carried.
Public Hearing: Texas Power & Light Company
Rate Increase Request
Filed on February 12, 1982 (Agenda Item III -C)
and
Ordinance No. 395-7-82: An Ordinance of
the City Council of the City of Allen,
Collin County, Texas, Approving Rate
Schedules to be Charged by Texas Power
and Light Company in the City of Allen,
Texas, Providing for Such Schedules,
Other Conditions, Severability and
Repeal of Conflicting Ordinances.
City Manager McCarty advised that the Texas Power & Light
Company had submitted their rate increase request on February 12,
1982 for an increase of $188,000,000 per annum, amounting to a
26.65% increase in base rates. The effective date of the rate
increase was suspended for 120 days by Resolution No. 384-3-82(R).
The City of Allen, working through the Texas Municipal League
with other cities, then intervened in the rural rate case and
hired a consultant who filed a submission to the Public Utilities
Commission. A settlement had been reached by all parties concerned.
Thus, the City Staff's recommendation was to hold the public hearing
and consider the proposed ordinance establishing the rates and
schedules for Texas Power and Light.
Jerry Lockhart, Manager of Texas Power & Light Company, spoke
before the Council regarding the settlement in the rate case,
advised of the Public Utility Regulatory Act, the responsibility of
the Public Utilities Commission, the work done on the negotiations
of a settlement and the results of the settlement.

increase request:

With no one else wishing to speak either for or against the
request, Mayor Pierson closed the public hearing.
The Council discussed with Mr. Lockhart the percentage of
increase between the summer rates and winter rates, why commercial
costs are more than residential costs, results if this request
was denied, the fact of whether construction work in progress is
included in a rate increase request, and why the rates are higher
in the summer and not evenly distributed all year round.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilman Offutt and seconded by

on Contract for 24" Water Line
with Cullum Construction Company (Agenda Item VI -A)

done on the 24" water line along Bethany Road and the work
done to obtain all of the easements in order to construct the
24" line in that area. All of the easements had been previously
obtained except for one small piece of property. That easement
has been recently obtained, thus the remaining 50' portion of
the water line can now be completed. Since Cullum Construction
Company had to move off of the site before the remaining easement
could be obtained, a change work order in the amount of $2,000
is required to complete this project.
