Decatur Council considers street renaming, water deals; Planning Commission to hear replat request
The Decatur City Council at its June 22 meeting considered a proposal to rename a segment of East Business Highway 380 to Woodruff Way, along with two water-related agreements and several land-use requests. Minutes from the meeting have not yet been published, so official votes and outcomes are not available.
Street renaming
The council discussed renaming East Business Highway 380 to “Woodruff Way.” The agenda did not specify the affected length of roadway or the reason for the change.
Water agreements
Two water items appeared on the agenda: a new water purchase agreement with the Water District (listed as an Interlocal Cooperation Agreement for untreated water sales) and an application for financial assistance from the Texas Water Development Board. No dollar amounts were included in the posted agenda.
Land-use items
Council members considered several property-related matters:
- Annexation of a 3.943-acre tract in the H. Henderson Survey, requested by Raymond Wood.
- A Specific Use Permit for a second carport at 600 N Trinity Street.
- A right-of-way waiver request for 905 S Perrin Street.
Street closures
The council discussed approving street closures for the 5th Annual Suicide Awareness Walk, scheduled for September 15.
Commercial infill policy
An item on the agenda called for a vote on a commercial infill policy, but no details on the policy’s scope or requirements were included in the posted agenda summary.
Coming up
The Planning and Zoning Commission will meet July 7 at a time and location to be posted on the city’s agenda portal. The commission will hold a public hearing on a replat application (RP-26-0010) for Lot 1R, Block 77 at 1300 S Hatcher Street. The replat requires additional setback exceptions from the Board of Adjustments. Commissioners will also consider a consent agenda item recommending City Council approval of a final plat for a 1.026-acre tract in the Klement and Sunset Hill additions. Additionally, the board will discuss appointments for two alternate commission members to replace Darlene Hilton and Francisco de Bosque, and will vote on the minutes from its June 2 meeting.
