COMPREHENSIVE CITY PLAN REPORT
Mr. Hollin presented the second report which was a part of the comprehen-
sive City Plan of the City of Farmers Branch. He called attention to the
fact that a large portion of the work involved in this report was actually
done prior to the work on the "Thoroughfares and Land Subdivision Report"
but because of the critical need for the report on land subdivision, that
report had been completed and submitted first.
The report which was submitted tonight covered six subjects: (1) Scope
Use and zoning; (5) Employment and Economy and (6) Transportationhe. had Mr.
the and Distribution of those present Population; that (4) Land
during
that time he had spent considerable time performing duties that could
be classified as strictly dity Planner or Director Planning work rather
than that of a consultant planner. He based this on the fact that he
had attended Planning & Zoning Commission meetings as well as City
Council meetings for the purpose of presenting to these two groups such
subjects that a Director of Planning would ordinarily do. Mr. Hollin
pointed out that had the time involved in this type of work and which
was not covered by his contract with the City been charged at the sug-
gested rates together with the associated miscellaneous expenses, the
total would have been $3,965.79 for the ten-month period. During the
same period, Mr. Hollin pointed out, the City, through its platting fees
and zoning fees (had they been fully enforced), could have collected
$2,184.00 or his services could have been obtained for a monthly cost
of approximately $178.00. The matter of paying Mr. Hollin for these
extra services and for continuing to retain him for this work (includ-
ing a basis and rate of payment) was referred to the City Manager for
a recommendation and submission to the City Council.
