The City <br />has basically 3 alternatives. The first alternative <br />would be a possible change in the developer's plat, <br />which the developer's representative has refused to <br />consider. The second alternative would be for the <br />City to fight these actions in both State and <br />Federal Court. The City, the City Council, and <br />individually John Hansen, Robert Cavazos, and Berry <br />James, the Planning and Zoning Commission, and <br />individually the five members of the Planning and <br />Zoning on the prevailing side would need outside <br />legal counsel. Members of this City Council have <br />indicated opposition to employment of outside legal <br />counsel. In light of these' facts, the two above <br />alternatives do not seem open for consideration. <br />The third and final alternative is approval of the <br />Castle Forest Subdivision plat. Considering these <br />facts, and the financial position and implications <br />of this City and these individuals, we, Robert <br />Cavazos, Berry James, and John Hansen consider <br />approval of the Castle Forest Subdivision Plat." <br /> <br />Mr. Hyatt moved the Council overturn the Planning and Zoning <br />Commission's ruling denying approval of the Castle Forest <br />Subdivision so as to give Council approval to the final <br />subdivision plat for Castle Forest Subdivision. Mr. Sutton <br />seconded the motion which passed unanimously. <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 7:35 p.m. on motion of Mr. Hansen and <br />second of Mr. James. <br /> <br />ATTEST: <br /> <br />~~C~~ <br />~ <br />~~ <br /> <br /> <br />Council_ M:~r /I " <br /> <br />~~c <br /> <br />Ci ty ",\cretary <br /> <br />~o#~ <br />ohn Hansen <br />ouncil M~...--..
