Citizen's Comments (Agenda Item VIE)
Ms. Doreen Grubb, 705 Jumper Road, Allen, Texas, spoke regarding Ordinance No. 1144-11-92, the
Animal Control Ordinance. She requested that Council study and define the word "reasonable" as it pertains to
barking dogs.
It was noted that Ms. Grubb has met with the Police Chief and that staff is currently reviewing this
Ordinance.
Mr. Jerry Grubb, 705 Juniper Drive, Allen, Texas, requested that Council review Ordinance 1144-11-
92. He gave a brief history of his situation with his families' pets.
Mr. Randy Friemel, 1534 Home Park Drive, Allen, Texas, requested that the Council consider
adopting a noise ordinance for the City of Allen. He stated that in his neighborhood, a band practices in a
neighbor's garage The sound penetrates his walls and vibrates the windows intruding upon his family
Council referred this item to staff for review and asked staff to recommend a solution.
Consider a Request by Allen Independent School (Agenda Item M
District to Use Ford Park Ballfrelds for a Junior
Varsity Softball Tournament on February 26, 27 and
28, 1998, Grant an Exemption for the Team
Tournament Fees and Allow Allen Sports Association
to Provide Concessions during the Tournament
Athletic/Aquatics Programs Supervisor Larry Kirk informed the Council that Allen High School has
requested the use of Ford Park Softball Fields for a Junior Varsity Softball Tournament to be held February 26,
27, and 28. They have asked for permission to rope off the fan areas around the softball fields in an effort to
charge a gate fee to spectators. The gate fee will be $2.00 for individual games or $5 00 tournament pass. The
High School Softball boosters and employees of Allen Independent School District (AISD) will put up and take

$30.00 per team. We ordinarily waive this fee for youth tournaments that benefit a youth program and not an
individual.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Thomas and a second by Councilmember Owen, the
Council voted six (6) for and none (0) opposed to approve the use of Ford Park Softball Fields
for a High School Junior Varsity Softball tournament to be held February 26, 27, and 28 and
allow a gate fee of $2 00 per game or $5.00 tournament pass to be charged after the layout of

Request to Appear by Mr. Steve Matthews, TU (Agenda Item X)
Electric, Regarding a Rate Reduction in Base
Customer Rates.
Mr. Steve Matthews, Town Manager for TU Electric, spoke before Council regarding a rate reduction
in base customer rates for TU Electric's residential and commercial customers in Allen. The reduction, if
approved, would be effective as of January 1, 1998 The proposed rate reductions are as follows: Residential
customers would receive a 4% decrease in rates in 1998 and 1.4% decrease in rates in 1999 Small and mid-
size business customers would receive a 2% decrease in rates in 1998 and 1999 Large industrial customers
would receive a 1 % decrease in rates in 1998 and 1999
Assistant City Manager Michael Stanger stated that staff recommends the City Council delay action on
this item until the Finance/Administration Standing Committee can review and make a recommendation
regarding the rate reduction. A group of TU Electric served cities have formed a steering committee to study
this request. The steering committee has expressed concerns with evidence that shows that the rate reduction
should be lower, and some of the regulatory and accounting provisions that are contained in the settlement are
unfair to customers, i.e., stranded costs for Comanche Peak.
Mr. Shelton Cook, Municipal Relations Manager for TU Electric, stated that if the Council approved
the rate reduction, in order for these rates to take place, the city would still have the right to go back and
review these proposals further at a later date.
This was for informative purposes only No action was taken.

estimated to over S4 million total additional investment in Allen. According to these projections, All Metals

Building Line from 100 Feet to 50 Feet on Property
Located West of Central Expressway South and
North of Allen Central Drive

ALLEN CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING
JANUARY 15, 1998 PAGE 10
Development No. 55 (PD -55) to reduce the front setback from 100 feet to 50 feet. This particular tract of land
is impacted by the location of the TU Electric substation and Angel Drive. The TU Electric substation is west
of this property, thereby inhibiting future expansion of this tract to the west. The approved land use plan
demonstrates that the existing 100 -foot setback line renders almost half of this tract undevelopable. The
development of the subject tract, other than surface parking, would provide a visual buffer between the TU
Electric substation and US 75,
Mr. Dave Dennison, Allen Central Joint Venture, 8100 Lomo Alto, Dallas, Texas, reviewed the
concept plan. The planned use for this tract of land is hotel/restaurant. He noted that the acreage sold to TU
Electric for expansion of the substation has rendered the south end of the property unusable due to the 100 -
foot setback. He requested that Council amend PD -55 to reduce the setback to 50 -feet
Mayor Terrell opened the public hearing and asked for anyone speaking either for or against the
request to do so at this time.
With no one speaking either for or against the request, Mayor Terrell closed the public hearing.
Council discussion was held regarding the utility easement that runs through the center of this tract.
E Council expressed concern that there is no guarantee screening of the TU Electric substation from US 75 would
occur.
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Fulk and a second by Councilmember Thomas, the
Council voted five (5) for and one (1) opposed with Councilmember Powyszynski casting the
negative vote, to amend PD -55 to change the front building line to a tapered setback being 100
feet at the northern boundary tapering to a 50 -foot setback at the southern boundary The
motion carried.
Public Hearing to Consider the Proposed Health (Agenda Item XHn
Ordinance
Community Development Director Bill Petty indicated that the City's Health Ordinance was adopted in
January 1988. A significant number of changes have taken place with Federal and State laws to warrant an
update to the Food Service, Child Care, and Swimming Pool sections of the ordinance The minimum
standards for Sanitation and Health Protective Measures section is new and provides rules for public health
nuisances and general sanitation and maintenance standards of businesses, residences, and facilities used by the
public

request to do so at this time
With no one speaking either for or against the request, Mayor Terrell closed the public hearing.
