ORDINANCE NO. 10649
(This ordinance number was inadvertently skipped)
Mr. Al Dyer, 4122 Christi Street, appeared to question the Council and the City
Attorney relative to his previous request that the City ordinance prohibiting bingo games in
the City either be enforced or repealed.
Mayor Sizemore interrupted Mr. Dyer's presentation pointing out that he had appeared
before this Council on December 8, making serious allegations against this Council and the
Police Department claiming that he had taped information from a former policeman which
implicated other policemen in certain robberies and burglaries. Mayor Sizemore advised
Mr. Dyer that until he produces evidence to either substantiate these accusations or publicly
apologizes to the Police Department he will not be permitted to speak before this Council.
Mr. Dyer departed stating that "faced with a gun at my head, I will not play the tapes
for you." He added that he would play them for the press but gave no definite time.
Mr. James Stubbs of Custom Metal Builders, Inc., representing Safeway Scaffolds
Equipment & Supply Company, appeared relative to his previous request for a waiver of the
requirements of the ordinance requiring a standard screening fence separating business or
industrial zones and residences. He presented a petition containing names and addresses of
adjacent property owners indicating that they would be agreeable to waiving the requirement
for the standard screening fence, some of which stated they did not want a fence at all.
Mr. Stubbs stated he had understood the Council last week to indicate that if they obtained
•

Page 12
a
favorable views from the adjacent property owners, that the Council would consider waiving
this requirement. The petition was referred to the City Manager for verification of ownerships.
City Manager Townsend pointed out that under the ordinance there is no provision
for the Council to waive the requirement; that there are three alternatives before the Council,
all of which involve amending the text of the zoning ordinance: (1) modification of the
ordinance adopting definite conditions under which the fence would be allowed; (2) modification
of the text as to "residential uses;" and (3) extend the authority of the Board of Adjustment to
accept a lesser type fence under certain conditions. He explained that a text amendment could
be initiated by the applicant through the Planning Staff, and suggested that possibly the phrase
"dwelling use" could be deleted.
Mr. Stubbs stated this was a unique situation which might not occur again. He
inquired if there was some way the Inspection Department could be authorized to issue a permit
so as to allow them to begin construction of the foundation. Mr. Townsend stated the only way
would be for them to take out a permit that the standard screening fence would be built. After
consulting with his client, Mr. Miller, he stated he could not agree to that condition.
Motion by Lozano, seconded by Bosquez and passed, that the Planning Commission be
authorized to initiate procedures for an amendment to the text of the zoning ordinance and that
deletion of the phrase "dwelling use" be considered.
