with the then MKT Railroad to the east. He further stated that by the 1980's the spur was used only
once each day and a small engine would transfer a single car between the two railroads each day
around noon. He added that there was an old story about the conductor who would let his locomotive
engine idle near Hemphill Street while he lunched at a nearby cafe. He stated the spur was abandoned
completely and the City acquired the railroad right -of -way in 1990, during which time the site became
an eye sore and a strip of underutilized land. He pointed out that Our Lady of Victory (OLV) Heights
Neighborhood Association (N.A.) had a vision of something better and they dreamed of a wide

He pointed out that all grants needed matching funds and in -kind donations and that after assistance
from the Code Compliance Department with mowing down the high weeds, the Steering Committee
held a fund raising kick off celebration on the site on September 28, 1994, and added that the
celebration was attended by over 300 people, including Mayor Kay Granger. He advised that the
Steering Committee raised $10,160.00 through the generous support of local businesses, neighborhood
associations, Burlington Northern Railroad, Texas Steel Company, Equitable and Nations Banks, Mrs.
Baird's Bakeries and 119 individuals. He further advised that as a result of the fundraising efforts, a
small forest of 119 trees had been planted and irrigated. He stated on April 25, 1995, the Steering
Committee and the City celebrated its victory over blight with an Arbor Day Ceremony at the site
dedicating the trees to their donors and with a parade through the community. He added that the
Paschal High School Army ROTC Honor and Color Guard led the parade and were joined by other
local schools, floats and cars from local businesses and supporters, fire trucks and police and parks
vehicles.

Mr. L.G. Cornish, Jr. completed a speaker card in support of Mayor and Council Communication No.
G- 16921, but did not wish to address the Council.
The following individuals appeared before Council in opposition to Mayor and Council
Communication No. G -16921 and stated that gas drilling safety and air quality was a city -wide issue
and should be considered before allowing drilling anywhere in the City. They stated that the Council
did not have the citizen's best interest in mind. They also referenced property at 2401 Handley
Ederville Road which bordered the proposed pad site and stated this was planned for residential
development and approval of this item would cause the developers to lose their investment because the
property would not be able to be developed as residential. They requested Chesapeake purchase the
property from the developers and convert it to park land after the drilling had ceased. They also
advised that the proposed pad site did not meet the requirements to be grandfathered. They addressed
safety and quality of life issues associated with drilling and the close proximity to protected uses and
stated the Harmony Park Neighborhood Association was strongly opposed to the site. They referenced
the gas line explosion in Johnson County and stated that tragedy could have been much worse had it
happened in a high density residential area. They also advised that the intersection of Brentwood Stair
Road and Handley Drive was dangerous and could not accommodate the trucks traveling to and from
the site. They stated that even though some of the speakers were in opposition to this item and some
had signed leases with Chesapeake Energy, they felt they were deceived by both Chesapeake and Dale
Resources. They requested the Council deny this request.

Mr. Chris Neal, 6620 Armstrong Court, Colleyville, Texas 76034 (provided copy of email sent to
Council Members stating his opposition to this item)
Mayor Pro tem Scarth advised that he had worked for a number of months with both Chesapeake
Energy and the area neighborhood associations and various locations had been considered. He stated
he would support this item because the majority of homeowners in the area were in support of this
drilling and should have the right to lease their minerals.

(G -16921 Continued)
Council Member Moss expressed appreciation to Chesapeake Energy for their work related to this site
and stated he was very concerned about the traffic congestion on Brentwood Stair Road and Handley
Ederville Road, as well as the sound mitigation and the time period that the barriers would be in place.
Council Member Burdette stated the City had a drilling ordinance in place to address a number of
issues and that the ordinance had been amended at least twice. He further stated that if a gas drilling
company applied for a permit and had met all of the requirements, then the permit would not come
before Council. He added that none of the reasons stated by citizens regarding why the well should not
be drilled pertained to the issue on the agenda, which dealt with close proximity to protected uses. He
stated that over 80 percent of the affected properties were in support of this waiver and added he would
support the citizens leasing their minerals.
Ms. Alanis clarified that the City was not required to notify the property owners at 2401 Handley
Ederville Road because it was not considered a protected use.
Council Member Scarth advised that this pad site was being considered for a long time and notification
had been sent to all appropriate individuals and all of the tools were in place to protect the property
owners and that he would support moving forward with this item.
Mayor Moncrief and Council Members Hicks and Zimmerman advised that they shared the concerns
of Council Member Moss and requested the item be delayed to allow for discussion of the many
concerns and issues with this item.

bride taken at the downtown post office and stated it would be a great location for City Hall but stated
it had a dark side which he would reveal at a later date. He stated the issues with The T senior bus

was placed at Downtown Storage when the building was removed and stated the City was wasting
taxpayer's dollars and that the drain cap could be used at another site. He further advised that Target
had picked up approximately 25 shopping carts that were left on the vacant property which were worth
approximately $3,000.00. He also referenced a workshop that he was preparing which would be
completed in two (2) weeks.
