Richardson Council to reopen zoning hearing on multiple requests
The Richardson City Council resumes public hearings tonight at 7 in City Hall. Mrs Winifred Cassidy seeks local retail zoning at 105 S Sherman, with a plan commission denial recommended without prejudice.

Additional variances are requested by Fred Peek and Bill C Dotson for two subdivisions. City Manager Sherrill pursues authorization to apply for Texas Water quality and Texas Water Development Board funding. An ordinance would adjust East Coit Road speed limits. City Plan Commission recommendations on two zoning applications and hearings dates will be received.

Richardson district expands beyond city lines amid growth
The Richardson Independent School District spans 38.52 square miles with portions in Dallas, Richardson, Buckingham and Garland. Since 1946 boundary shifts under Dr. J J Pearce, land exchanges with Dallas ISD and growth patterns shaped the district. From 1950s to early 1970s new elementary and junior high schools opened, enrollment climbed from about 6,200 in 1960 to an expected 32,000 in 1972-73, with Lake Highlands, Belt Line, and several other campuses contributing to rapid expansion.

Dallas County Route Tie Seen on Campbell Road Obstacle
Noah said obstacles are not obstacles and major parties favor a common boundary route. CORA and UT Dallas oppose only in official channels. Collin County backs the boundary route, but a formal Dallas County resolution is needed. The key may be the Dallas Commissioners Court to commit to Campbell Road if the route moves north.
