Bowie Council says no to developer’s request for special permit
Citizen opposition to the construction of a duplex rental property at 707 Gray Street pushed the Bowie City Council to deny a specific use permit request by a local developer.
The permit request made by Windol Robbins was denied by City Code Officer David Rainey based on what he said was citizen opposition in that neighborhood.
In the June 19 planning and zoning commission meeting, the appeal was granted, moving on to the city council for further action. It was citizen opposition that swayed the council to say no.
Four citizens opposed to the duplex construction addressed the council Tuesday night.

The Nocona City Council approved a trio of Nocona Economic Development Corporation requests and considered infrastructure work questioned by a city council.
Councilors met on June 10. Two of the NEDC requests had already been presented with the timeclock for comment started. With that time limit over, the requests were finalized.
The Type A and B Boards will spend $19,225 at the Indian Oaks Golf Club for equipment, aerifying and top dressing the greens and batteries for rental carts. It also will expend $20,000 to the Nocona Chisholm Trail Rodeo Arena Committee to build new concrete bleachers, railings, fence and platform.
The third NEDC request is a new one related to a Type B board loan of $200,000 to Amy and Chris Nunneley for a new apartment and office construction project.
