Page 1 of 1 TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM Department: Planning and Development Meeting Date: April 4, 2011 Staff Contact: Eddie Edwards Regular Subject: Authorizing an extension to the time frame allowed for temporary structures to be placed or maintained on the Fire Department property at 2900 Dove Road. The Town Council originally approved temporary structures to be placed on the property for a period of two years. An extension was subsequently approved for another two years. These two approvals have expired, it is necessary that the Town Council approve another extension in order to be in compliance with Town ordinances. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY It is being proposed that this extension be granted “until the Town Council determines it is in the best interest of the citizens of Westlake to remove the structures” as opposed to a specific time frame. This will save staff and Council the time spent in going through the extension process over and over, taking into consideration that significantly greater decisions will need to be made by the council prior to deciding to remove the temporary structures.
