PROPOSAL REGARDING EXTENSION OF VALWOOD PARKWAY AND SIX ACRES UPON
WHICH IS LOCATED THE CITY'S SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT
Mayor Airoldi reported on results of a meeting held on June 24 in
Louis Nichols' office, present at which were Mayor Airoldi, Dr. L. S.
Thompson, Sr., Mr. Cleo Thompson, City Attorney Louis Nichols and
City Manager J. M. Orman. Mayor Airoldi reported that the following
proposal was made and that it would be presented to the Council for
their consideration:
Relative To The Six Acres
The City would:
1. Agree to shift the six-acre tract eastward approxi-
mately 178.5 feet or to a point where the east property line would
coincide with the center line of a 57-foot roadway between Valley
View Lane and the 6-acre tract.
2. Fill and level the six acres as well as some adjoining
property belonging to Dr. Thompson the leveling on Dr. Thompson's
property to be done only to the extent that spare dirt in the area
permitted.
3. Dedicate for public use one-half of the right-of-way
needed for a street along the east line of six acres.
4. Accept the dedication of the remaining one-half of the
public street along the east line of the six acres together with a
57-foot right-of-way dedication from the southeast corner of the six
acres southward to Valley View Lane and relieve Dr. Thompson of all
paving obligations on said street.
5. Completely enclose the dedicated street with a fence
so that livestock could not get into the street.

Dr. Thompson would:
1. Release present restrictions on the six acres which
limit its use to a sewage treatment plant.
2. Dedicate the street right-of-way as outlined in Item
4 (above) with the understanding that he would not have any paving
obligations in connection therewith.
Relative To Valwood Parkway Extension
The City would:
1. Approve a realignment of the westward extension of
Valwood Parkway so that a reverse curve to the north could be made
on Dr. Thompson's property so that the north right-of-way of Valwood
Parkway would coincide with the city limit line in that area.
2. Pay 756 of the cost of paving the south 30-foot con-
crete pavement across Dr. Thompson's property which lies inside the
city limits of Farmers Branch.
Dr. Thompson would:
1. Dedicate a 100-foot right-of-way along the realignment
route.
2. Construct the north 30-foot concrete pavement at no cost
to the City in accordance with City specifications.
3. Construct and pay 25% of the paving costs on the south
30-foot concrete pavement in accordance with City specifications (see
Item 2 above).
Councilman Upfield made a motion that the above proposal be approved
and accepted, seconded by Mayor Pro-Tem Hamilton, all voting "ayes".
Adjourned 7:45 a.m.
