EVALUATION OF ITEM: DATE: ~/5/§2
On Hay 14, 1991 City Council approved the changes to the City Thoroughfare
Plan that removed Bethel School Road from the Thoroughfare Plan between
the limits of Denton Tap Road and Bethel Road. This road was originally
shown on the Thoroughfare Plan as a C2U. This is a two-lane undivided
road in 60 foot of R.O.W. The removal of the road from the Thoroughfare
Plan was requested so as to eliminate the need to reconstruct the road and
the bridge structure over Grapevine Creek at Bethel School Road. At the
May 14, 199i City Council meetin§ staff was directed to prepare an
ordinance abandoning the roadway. In late 1992 the field notes for the
abandonment were delivered to the City. The construction of the Big Cedar
subdivision is currently underway and the developer wishes to close Bethel
School Road.
Originally, staff had planned to prepare an ordinance abandoning the
roadway for the City Council meetin§. However, because of concerns of
what the developers requirements would be in regards to the closure of
that [oadway, i.e. barricade placement, removal of some portions of the
asphalt near Bethel Road and reimbursement of the City for any other costs
associated with this, the developer has decided to request a temporary
road closure to work out these issues. At some time in the near future,
the actual ordinance for the abandonment of the roadway will be brought
forth to the City Council. The time limit for the request on this
BUDGET AMT.

temporary road closure is 60 days. It would expire on May 8, 1992. This
temporary road closure is requested so that the developer will be able to
install the utilities necessary for the reconstruction of Harris Road from
Plantation to the Big Cedar addition without having to maintain thru
traffic.
Staff will be available to answer any questions at the council meeting.

Director of Planning, Gary Slob, made the presentation. The

would need to show the c~ty a plan of the operations of the
business. Mr. Slob, Direl~tor of Planning and Community Services,
stated that technically, a !~now cone operation is a restaurant and
stated that he had many concerns about a temporary building to be
placed in a parking lot el a shopping center. A suggestion was
made t¢i Or. Foulds to consider leasing of available space within
the shopping center. D!. Foulds made a presentation of his
proposal. Dr. }oulds indicated the he had recently approached both
Farmers Branch ~nd Carro/[~on City Councils and had been granted
approval. LewJsville, C~rrollton, Farmers Branch, Plane, The
Colony, Denton, lake Da]/a!~ have made special exceptions to code
requlrcments and Dr. Fould felt that our citizens would like for
Council to do the same. Dr Foulds gave basic information on snow
cones. Disi:ussion by ~]t~ council followed. Questions were
answered by Dr. Foulds i~ regards to security problems, lighting,
location, parking, and business hours, citizens speaking on this
