9 31 Street to a point 185 feet south. Mr. Greb had requested a permit to.pave the street to a width of 39 feet in order to miss a large pecan tree which would bp in the way if the street were paved to the 44 foot wide section presently designed for this street. Mr. Greb was present stating that a 40 or 41 foot width would be alright for his plans and would permit the pecan tree to remain. He went on to say that this width would also allow a power pole and fire hydrant to remain in their.present locations and that they would have to be removed should a 44 foot wide section be installed. It was pointed out that all recent paving in this area of 20th N. E. had been con- structed in accordance with the design of 44 feet in width. Councilman Williams was concerned about the future obligation to widen the street should Mr. Greb be allowed to pave to a 39 or 40 foot wide section. Mr. Greb stated that he would be happy to.place a cash bond with the City to replace the curb in the event the-pavement is widened in the future. A motion was made by Councilman Stone and seconded by Councilman Wunsch that Mr. Greb be allowed to curb and gutter to a 40 or 41 foot wide section with the stipulation th =- the cash bond equal to $3.60 per linear foot curbing be placed with the City. In discussion, City Attorney Haynes informed the Council that such action would pro- mote additional - negotiations between individuals and the Council in the event they wanted to improve a street to a smaller section than was called for in the Master Plan. Mayor Brunette then called for the vote on Councilman Stone's motion. The motion carried: 5 ayes, 2 nays. City Attorney Haynes presented the following petitions for re-- zoning: H. E. Enloe and Glenn Justice, part of Lot 3, City Block 102 -A, from a General Retail District (GR) to a Commercial District (C); McClanahan & Holmes, Lot 1, City Block 182 -A and Lot 1, Finn Place from a Multi - Family Dwelling District No. 1 to an Office District (0). Mayor Brunette referred the petitions to the Planning and Zoning Com€i►ission for their study and recommendation and called for a public hearing at the next regular Council meeting. Assistant City Manager Greene presented information regarding the Texas Power & Light Company rate and tariff book. Mayor Brunette stated that an ordinance was required regarding this matter and called for the reading of the ordinance. Ordinance No. 23310: "AN ORDINANCE APPROVING'CERTAIN RATE SCHEDULES FILED BY TEXAS POWER & LIGHT COMPANY IN THE CITY OF PARIS, TEXAS, AND PRO- VIDING.
