PREPARED BY: Chris Boone, Community Development Director
MEETING DATE: January 8, 2008
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider a request for a specific use permit to
allow a civic/social association with the sale of alcoholic
beverages in a GC-MD (General Commercial-Multiple
Family Dwelling)District at 3859 Stagg Drive.
RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends approval of a request for a specific use permit to allow a
civic/social association with the sale of alcoholic beverages in a GC-MD (General Commercial-
Multiple Family Dwelling) District at 3859 Stagg Drive.
BACKGROUND
Mildred Lemell with The Swing Out Civic Club has requested a specific use permit to allow a
civic/social association with the sale of alcoholic beverages in a GC-MD (General Commercial-
Multiple Family Dwelling) District. The property is located at 3859 Stagg.
The Swing Out Civic Club is a 19 member volunteer non-profit organization that has, through
the weekly teaching of swing out dance lessons, raised monies to provide assistance to the youth,
elderly and needy of Beaumont.
The club spent the last 13 years at the Holiday Inn-Holidome where they rented Quentin J's two
nights a week. After Hurricane Rita, the night club was turned into a conference room. This
prompted the Swing Out Civic Club to search for a new location.
The club meets on Tuesday and Friday nights. A typical Tuesday night attendance is 40-50
individuals. On Friday nights, up to 200 individuals will attend. The club is open from 7:30
p.m. - 12:00 a.m. on Tuesdays and 9:00 p.m. - 2:00 a.m. on Friday. Ms. Lemell states that most
of the businesses in the strip center are closed during the club's hours of operation. Parking is to
be provided both in the strip center's parking lot and in the Gateway Shopping Center parking
lot.
l
Typically, a civic/social association is permitted by right in a GC-MD District. However, the
Swing Out Civic Club wishes to sell alcoholic beverages. It is this aspect of the club that
requires a specific use permit. Mixed drinks, beer and wine, along with fruit drinks and soft
drinks will be available for sale. No food will be offered for sale. It will offer hors d'oeuvres
and snacks free of charge.
Ms. Lemell states that the facility will be available to rent for weddings, wedding receptions,
office parties and meetings.
At a Joint Public Hearing held December 17, 2007, the Planning Commission voted 8:0 to
approve a request for a specific use permit to allow a civic/social association with the sale of
alcoholic beverages in a GC-MD (General Commercial-Multiple Family Dwelling) District at
3859 Stagg Drive.
BUDGETARY IMPACT
None.

Andy Hatch has requested the abandonment of a portion of Trinity Street that is located between
Milam and Franklin. He owns the property on either side of the subject right-of-way.
The purpose of the request for abandonment is to allow the use of the right-of-way for the
loading and unloading of 18-wheeler trucks at the loading dock on Trinity. Currently, trucks
extend into the right-of-way when at the loading dock. Mr. Hatch states that there is very little
traffic on this section of Trinity. Abandoning this section of Trinity would allow the use of the
loading dock without any traffic conflicts.
At a Joint Public Hearing held December 17, 2007, the Planning Commission voted 8:0 to
approve a request to abandon a portion of Trinity Street between Franklin and Milam Streets
subject to the following conditions:

PREPARED BY: Chris Boone, Commum y S Development Director
MEETING DATE: January 8, 2008
REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider a request for an HC-L(Historic-Cultural
Landmark Preservation Designation) at 2368 McFaddin.
RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends approval of a request for an HC-L(Historic-Cultural Landmark
Preservation Designation) at 2368 McFaddin.
BACKGROUND
Eric Newby has applied for an HC-L (Historic-Cultural Landmark Preservation) Designation for
his home at 2368 McFaddin. Mr. Newby purchased the house in December, 2003 and has
worked to restore the house to its original state.
Mr. Newby states that the house was designed and built by locally renowned architect, Henry
Conrad Mauer in 1907. It is a good example of what was then called an"American Four-
Square"based on the fact that there are four rooms on each floor with no hallways to minimize
wasted space.
The original owner was Rupert Joseph Barry of Barry Brothers Mercantile in Beaumont. In
addition to his family business, Mr. Barry was a land surveyor and worked for Jefferson County
in his later years. In 1929, the house was sold to Beaumont oil pioneer, F.E. Carroll. During the
time that Mr. Carroll owned the house, it was rented to the Klein Family. Mrs. Butch Hoffer was
one of 11 children of the Kleins. In 1947, the house was sold to Bernard Klein, one of the
Klein's grown children. In 1977, the house was sold to Frank Daleo of Daleo Compounding
Pharmacy on Calder. In 2001, Rick and Lana Pritchett bought the house and began a much
needed renovation.
The house was built of cement blocks to minimize problems with rot, mildew and termites.
Electrical lighting was originally installed during construction. However, gas lighting was also
installed due to the frequent loss of power from the electric company. Gas also provided heat
through three fired radiators and was supplemented by five fireplaces, two of which were
designed to burn wood and three designed to burn coal. Another unique feature of the house is
the room-call system that rang the butler's pantry from any of the four bedrooms as well as from
a button under the dining room table.
In renovating the house, the Newby's have replaced the roof, installed 9 tons of central air
conditioning, replaced the entire kitchen and begun landscaping the garden to reflect the period
in which the house was built. Mr. and Mrs. Newby are now nearing completion of the overall
renovation.
At a Public Hearing held December 10, 2007, the Historic Landmark Commission voted 10:0 to
approve an HC-L (Historic-Cultural Landmark Preservation Designation) at 2368 McFaddin.

•rr• Council Agenda Item
� c
TO: City Council
FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Dr. Hani J. Tohme, Water Utilities Director
MEETING DATE: January 8, 2008
REQUESTED ACTION: Council approval of a resolution authorizing the City Manager to
execute a contract for the Proposed New Water Well No. 2 and
Related Pilot Hole Project.
RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends approval of a contract with Terry Johnson, Industries, Inc.,
Lumberton, Texas, in the amount of$1,700,059 to drill a new ground water pilot hole, plug and
abandon the existing well, furnish and install a new vertical turbine well pump, a pre-engineered
metal building, a 5,000 gallon horizontal double walled steel fuel storage tank with a concrete
containment area, all of the electrical controls and components for a portable generator and all
related appurtenances.
The MBE goal will be partially met through subcontracts with the certified MBE firms Gulf Coast
Electric Co., Inc. of Beaumont, Texas for$122,600, Rural Pipe& Supply, Inc. of Jasper, Texas
for $24,584.50, and Triangle Paving, Inc. of Beaumont, Texas for$19,300. The total amount of
subcontracts with certified MBE firms is $166,484.50, which represents 9.8 percent of the total
bid.
BACKGROUND
The existing Water Well No. 2, located in Lumberton, Texas, was designed and constructed in
1971. In 2006, the existing water well began pumping sand and a subsequent investigation proved
the gravel pack had failed. The City and Schaumburg&Polk studied the possibility of
rehabilitating the gravel pack, however the cost, reliability, and future rehabilitation requirements
deemed the project not cost efficient. Schaumburg&Polk recommended the City install a new
water well.
This Contract is recommended for approval by the City Manager and the Water Utilities Director.

machine and truck chassis for the Streets and Drainage
Division.
RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends the purchase of a combination jet vacuum machine from Vac-Con
of Green Cove Springs, Florida in the amount of$182,002.64 and an International 7400 truck
chassis from Santex Truck Center of San Antonio, Texas in the amount of$64,450. Both
purchases are through the Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC).
BACKGROUND

of Texas procurement statutes. The combined purchase price of$246,452.64 includes H-GAC
administrative fees of$600 for the truck chassis and$2,689.69 for the combination jet vacuum

has a nine(9)cubic yard debris storage body and dual engines that operate the vacuum system
and the high-pressure jet water system independently.
The International 7400 diesel truck chassis will be shipped from San Antonio, Texas to Green
Cove Springs, Florida where the combination jet vacuum machine will be mounted by Vac-Con
staff. Installation is included in the price of the machine. Delivery of the assembled vehicle is
expected by July 2008.

Consider amending Chapter 6 of the Code of Ordinances relating to the National Electrical Code
and remaining with the 2005 edition
City Council Agenda Item
TO: City Council
FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Christopher Boone, Community Development Director
MEETING DATE: January 8, 2008
REQUESTED ACTION: Council Consider amendments to Chapter 6 of the Code of
Ordinances.
RECOMMENDATION
Administration recommends approval of the proposed amendments to Chapter 6 of the Code of
Ordinances.
BACKGROUND
The City requires that all electrical work done within the city adhere to the specifications and
requirements outlined in the 2005 edition of the National Electrical Code. However, Section 6-
111(b)of the Code of Ordinances,the ordinance that originally adopted the 2005 National Electrical
Code(NEC),has a provision that automatically adopts the most recent version of the NEC without
the opportunity for a hearing. Review of the changes to the Code and resulting additional costs to
consumers should be reviewed and discussed prior to the adoption of any changes.
The proposed amendment would eliminate this automatic code adoption and revert to the 2005 NEC,
the code currently enforced.
