Mr. Jay Dalbey, a representative of Pacific Southwest Bank in
Houston, 5206 FM 1960 W., Houston, TX 77062, requested the
zoning for Tract 25 on the zoning exhibit map be unchanged
from R12 to R15. He felt the rezoning would delay the
development of the acreage. Mr. Dalbey was also unaware of
the market conditions for the tract in question.
.Mayor Carter had the Commissioners and Council Members
respond to Mr. Dalbey's concerns. Mr. Dan Boutwell reiterated
the reasoning and process in determining the zoning change.

supports this larger lot size. The acreage is surrounded by
the golf course and he felt this would make the land very
marketable.

whereby developers can approach the town for rezoning.
