City of Saint Jo to consider zoning change request for possible new business
The City of Saint Jo City Council will meet at 6 p.m. on Dec. 13 in Saint Jo City Hall and will consider possible zoning changes for a potential new business.
There will be discussion for a change to rezone 59.01 acres of city-owned property at the corner of U.S. Highway 82 and Field Road in the city to be changed from agricultural to commercial district. City officials have been working with developers interested in possibly bringing a Dollar General to town.
Part of this property has been leased to a local company and it also is adjacent to land used by Easy Street Shelter for its facility and behind that the city wastewater system. Cindy Castle also is scheduled to speak on behalf of the shelter at Wednesday’s meeting to discuss updates of lease land.
Other topics on the agenda include a request to place temporary signage for Windmill Grill on U.S. 82; reports and quarterly statements from the economic boards 4A and 4B; monthly financial statement and paying bills; verbal reports and minutes from the Nov. 8 and Nov. 23 meetings.
On Friday city officials reported the intersection at Rock and Pillar was closed due to a sinkhole in the street. This area has been experiencing major drainage problems for many years damaging culverts and the street asphalt and concrete, with a portion of the street collapsing earlier in the spring. Drivers should avoid this area.
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.
