Editor's comments:  This project got started with former Park Board President Dwaine Caraway.  Dwaine, Michael Davis and other good citizens are doing something very important for this city.  As the City Manager says "I have never underestimated the effectiveness of one determined human being."  Way to go, guys!

01/09/06  Update on Hot-Sheet Motels

Here's an update on our movement to rid the Southern Sector of Hot-Sheet motels which allow drugs, violence, prostitution and other crimes.
 
Interstate Motel – Beckley & Overton, Oak Cliff
 
 The City Council will hear the case to deny the renewal of a Special Use Permit on Wednesday January 11th in the City Hall Council Chambers.  We convinced the City Plan Commission to deny the renewal in November 2005.
 
This Item was pulled from 1/11/06 City Council Agenda at the request of the owner of the Motel.  They can pull the item once, but it must be heard in the next 60 days.  We will let you know once it is rescheduled.
 
American Inn – 4538 Scyene, South Dallas
 
The Board of Adjustment will hear the case to move forward with the closing and demolition of this motel on Wednesday January 18th at 1 PM.  The signs are posted by the City of Dallas at the property, for all to see.
 
The meeting will be held in City Hall, Floor L-1 Auditorium.
 
 


 

                                        

    





                               

 

  Ward politics is the Devil's key to the soul of the city council.  It is how some council members got themselves in trouble in the past.  It is the bait that will get others in trouble in the future. 4/6/8
